Thanks for your support and kind comments! 👍❤️

Thank you! Cheers! 👍❤️

😜 yeah, something like that 👍 and it is worth it ❤️

👍❤️ That sounds like an amazing idea! Good luck and much fun! I also wanted to take a former military vehicle for my base. Indeed to be able to tackle different terrains. But here in EU they were still quite expensive. And please be mindfull of the maximum height restrictions (not sure there are any in US?). Last advice, perhaps also look at military containers (I believe they are called shelters). Perhaps that would be a good fit with your truck 👍❤️

@@uglysjourney -The question of whether we want an all terrain vehicle is that my wife is from the Amazon region here in Brazil and she was used to crossing the Amazon in ordinary cars on the dirt/mud road that bogs down any car to fish in rivers in the wildest places possible and things like that with normal pickups like hilux or even outside the rainy season in Fiat Uno and in the USA it will definitely want to go somewhere at this level so we will need a vehicle that Pass in places with virtually no roads. -She wants to live on a rural property, but we will possibly die on the expedition while we build on the property and when the property is ready we will start traveling on vacation. -I was looking on websites selling used military equipment in the USA, there are trucks ranging from 4000 dollars to around 200,000 in my last search and the models range from light trucks that a common driver's license allows you to drive to heavy ones that even carry containers Same as the ones I thought about using, in the videos on the Ambition Strikes channel they have the smaller model and last year he bought the heavy one and had to get his truck driver's license to drive the bigger one. -The issue of price, from what I understand, is focused on how much maintenance the vehicle needs and in Brazilians, as we are poor, we do crazy maintenance and make very old cars work, sometimes even adapting parts or making parts by hand that are no longer manufactured. I was thinking about either a lighter 6x6 or a 10x10 like the Oshkosh PLS A1 M1075A1, and in the container, as we thought about living in Texas or Florida, which are hotter. I had thought about a refrigerated container that is already insulated and has temperature control from 40ºC to almost -65ºC depending on the model. -We know that just the adaptation and preparation will be hell to do, but the fun is the challenge. -We're crazy, right...? -Thank you for responding, you are fantastic...!!!

You are absolutely right! ❤️👍 Anyone, crimpers and solders, should keep an eye on their system. Added to your points I also check/feel for heat at connections when I know that I am pulling big loads. But please be aware as well. It is a 150 mm2 cable in a 24 volt system. The maximum length is 3 meter. And I have a 5000 watt Multiplus and do not run heavy equipment for long periods. That cable is overkill.... 1/3 thickness would likely be fine as well 👍😉 But in anyway I see a kind comment in your message. So thanks for caring!

Thanks for thinking safety! I feel you say things "from care" perspective ❤️👍 But are you right? I always learned electricity takes the way of least resistance. 🤷 In that case, when a couple of strands in a big fat cable break there is still plenty of room for electricity to take the way of least resistance. Do you agree? And in any case, yes! Think safety! ❤️👍

Yes you are right. Electricity takes the way of least resistance. But the scenario I speak of is when the solder joint develops cracks due to vibration and stress the path of least resistance suddenly have higher than normal resistance and can start to develop heat which in turn melt the solder and creates even worse connection with higher resistance which in turn creates even more heat. Its a snowballing effect. What creates heat is losses due to current having to push through a resistance and the higher the resistance the more power losses. Its always converted to heat. 5kW @24V is still 200A which is no small current and have the ability to heat things up extremly fast. Yes I only mean well and spread this information so people are aware and build in the safest way possible. For many people, like myself, the RV is our home with all our belongings inside. Electrical fire is the last I want to deal with.

👍 Indeed fire prevention is important ❤️. But when I give advice or share knowledge I also like to be realistic. And now I have issues believing that a small crack (or a few cracks) in a way to big cable with relatively low loads will lead to excessive heat to melt the solder.....etc. I would like to figure it out so people get the right info. So, do you perhaps have a source, a website or a video that supports your statement? Lets help people and not scare them 👍❤️

​@@uglysjourney My answers keeps getting deleted. maybe links are not okay on yt. Edited a post adding a link and now its gone. Anyway, Im not here to prove or convince you, but I think its important for people to atleast have the ability to see a comment saying its not the correct way. If they feel there is substance to the claim then they might do their own googling about this topic. And that in turn maybe help someone prevent a future electrical disaster. Ive seen the result of both soldered crimp connectors gone bad, and also the result of bad crimping (using wrong tools) and I dont want this to happen to anyones home on wheels just because they didnt know there was a better way of doing it. Its no certainty bad things will happen if you only solder, but the risk goes up alot, especially in vibration and temp fluctuation environment. You can easily weld (thats melting and fusing) metals together at 50A or less.....

Спасибо за вашу поддержку и добрые слова! 🙏 ❤️ Да, контейнер можно снять и поставить на новый грузовик 👍 или на участок земли....

감사합니다 🙏❤️

👍❤️ Thanks for your big, kind and great reply and comments! Yeah you are right. Perhaps something like 100.000 in salaries could be added.since it took me 1,5 years to build. And I really like the flooring and worktop. I finished it with a boat-deck-finish. So when you see it in reallife it has a smooth and shiny finish. But I would also understand that you do not like it 👍😉

Yeah you are right again. Box is way too strong and that feels so good 💪🙏. And the commercial vehicles all need a subframe. This helps them to manage the bumps in the road. Otherwise a few bumps would brake their box..... Anyway, thanks again for your support! 👍❤️

👍❤️ yeah, you are right! There is much benefit in knowing what you have put in 😉👍

Please do not panic 😉👍 When I translate your question to liters/meters it would be "3.8 liters to 1.6 km", but in reality it does 1 liter for 5 km? So that would be 0.26 gallon for 3.1 miles. Or 1 gallon diesel gives me 12 miles. Not so bad as you would think, right?

@ definitely not, it seems quite good considering the load. Thanks

@panicfarm9874 👍

Love to be there sometimes! ❤️👍

Amazing to see people from all over the world checking out our video ❤️🌎🌍❤️. Thanks for your support! 👍❤️

👍

Hi, thanks for your question and support ❤️ 👍. It is a foldable telescopic ladder from Aldorr. I will put a link below. I would not 100% recommend them. I was happy to use the ladders. I had 2. But please know they perform terrible outside. A bit of rain/moisture hinders the telescopic movement. I did not have the "pro" model, perhaps that could help. aldorr.nl/telescopische-vouwladders/

Thanks for your kind words and support 👍❤️ really appreciate it.

India 🇮🇳🪷♥️ that is amazing!! Thanks for taking the time to let us know 👍♥️. Much love!

You are right! ♥️👍

Thanks for your comment and thoughts! ♥️👍 I really like your writing style, feels good. And to answer your questions, yes completing it was very satisfying. But to be honest for me it never feels really really completed. I am now doing some upgrades on insulation and ventilation (stay tuned for those videos 😉)..... And other project are coming up 👍

@uglysjourney Nothing stays the same. Surely that's the case. I also like this video beacuse I found this one among the videos of american bus conversions, so I was even more tempted to watch your videos.

Schoolies, look very cool. 👍 Always wondering how their insulation works though. Do they have single glazed windows?

Dank je wel! Fijn complimentje 👍♥️

Hi! Thanks for your question! I understand why you ask because a shipping container normally has a lot of moisture, like a can of coca cola. To prevent this we have good thick isolation and we ventilate. Works well. ♥️👍

Thanks all best for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Super Merci! 👍♥️

👍 Этот комментарий согревает мое сердце во многих отношениях! ♥️👍 Спасибо

Goede vraag! 👍♥️ Snap dat je hem stelt, maar mijn bouw hoeft niet gekeurd te worden.

Vielen Dank für eure Gedanken und Kommentare! ♥️👍 Ich verstehe, dass manche Leute ein bisschen Angst haben und das ihr Handeln beeinflusst. Die Wahrheit ist, dass wir nie Angst verspüren, wenn wir in unserem „Bunker“ sind 😉👍

@@uglysjourney Fahrt nie durch die Wüste in Nordafrika. Und haltet nie, wenn euch irgendwelche Beduinen anhalten wollen.

Nochmals vielen Dank! ♥️👍 Es scheint, als hätten Sie darüber nachgedacht 🤔. Ehrlich gesagt haben wir den Truck ohne Kinder im Hinterkopf gebaut. Wir sind uns nicht sicher, ob dieser Lebensstil für Kinder geeignet ist … für manche schon, für andere nicht … Und was bewährte Verfahren angeht … wir haben bewährte Verfahren aus dem Schiffsbau verwendet. Ich finde, das ist schlauer, als sich Wohnmobile anzuschauen, da die Dinge auf einem Schiff langlebiger und redundanter sein müssen. Clever, oder? 🤷 Was meinen Sie?

Thanks 👍♥️ that could be a good idea as well!

Nicht so heiss eigentlich. Isolation ist in Ordnung. Dank für ihre Frage! 👍❤️ Aber warum?

@@uglysjourney Mach ein Hänger dran und ein zweiten Container 😁😁

Ja schuss, dann Kommen Sie gleich mit? 🤣🤣

That is very true. 👍❤️ Thanks! As a matter of fact just yesterday I flipped the window screens the other way round (bug-net is now up). I would never think of doing that in something I did not make myself. 🫣

Yeah, good question 👍❤️ We expected a lot more of these! To be honest the answer is not so straight forward. When we would poop and flush (and use the washing machine etc) we would empty every two weeks. But normally we do not flush our poop. Like many camper-truck-lifers we have "other" solutions 😉❤️👍.

@ Classic shovel!

😉👍 for instance

Thanks for you kind reaction!! 👍❤️ I hope you will have a succesfull build! The windows, roofhatches and door are from Outbound. I do not want to recommend them because of poor after sales service and the presence of a cold bridge in the door handle. Insulation and instalabillity is good And in any case I would not recommend the rollo-shutters (poor cleanability, easy to damage fly screen, bulky design, clunky operations). Hope this helps! 👍❤️

Yeah, I know it is a pain. But in my case it is a container. It is cargo 😉. Thanks for your comment and support ❤️👍

Haha 🫣 yeah, something like that 👍 Or one on every continent and fly there when I feel like it. 👍❤️😁

Thanks! ❤️👍 Yeah it has heavy bones and a bit of baby fat 😉. The truck weighs 7.000 kg and the container incl everything is 5.000 kg. I like the heavy look to be honest 🤷

Greetings to the Philippines! 👍❤️ Thanks for your comment and support.

Yeah I think I understand what you say. Thanks for sharing your thoughts ❤️👍. I think your solution is very interesting for a "stationary-building-solution". For me a reefer container is not an option, since it is too high and there is too much loss of space because of the refrigerator-parts. Additionally I like my solution where I can easily screw in my walls. In a reefer you would need to glue (glue is strong, I know) but that would be difficult to change the set-up. Anyway, nice to see you thinking with me, but I am sorry, it is not for me 🤷 Do you usually build container -homes? In any way thanks for your support! ❤️👍

Спасибо, и вы абсолютно правы! ❤️👍 Мы все ждали, когда кто-нибудь что-нибудь скажет. Мы использовали другие листья 😜

Спасибо за ваш комментарий и поддержку! ❤️👍

You made me smile. 😁 Thanks! ❤️

Hi Sinan, thanks for your comment and thoughts. ❤️👍 I feel you might be from USA, is that correct? I am from Europe and with our historic background many of our roads and villages are smaller. For this reason it the smartest to build as compact as possible. 🤷 But yeah, when you want to go bigger, No worries, just do it ❤️👍

@ no I’m from Turkey

@sinanpasa4able Nice Turkey! Beautifull country, much ancient history there. But I have not yet been there. And how are the roads and parkings? Big?

@@uglysjourney yes it is a nice thanks. if you follow the camping sites you would have fun . i rented a motoRV this summer it was lot of fun . you can give it a try ;)

❤️👍 thanks for explaining, you are very kind. Do you know I build this this truck to be self sufficient 🤷 Untill now we have only been 3 days on a campsite.

Yeah, can surely follow this line of thought. The nice thing is that everyone finds/builds/buys the thing they like and want based on their budget/time/experience. And with that we all get something else ❤️👍

I understand you opinion. But I would like you to give it some more thought. A washing machine is a washing machine, it has the same function. The same goes for a bed. A bed is a bed. It has the same function. And I did give some points for luxury feeling. But I will not give those points at every item. Does that make sense to you? In any way, thanks for the comment and support 👍❤️

Yeah, thanks for sharing your thoughts! ❤️👍 I am not sure what temperatures you want to stay in? So it is hard to say something useful..... Our container is still comfortable without a heater on when it is about 3 degrees Celcius (almost freezing in Fahrenheit). I have seen people living in a boat that was surrounded by ice.....that is cold. And they manage because they keep the heater on.....

I just love your name. 👍❤️ Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And yeah, "the things we do for KZbin", but it looked more scary then it was. 👍❤️

🤷🤪

👍❤️ Thanks for your concern, sometimes we use them just for "peace of mind". But are you aware how brakes in a truck operate? A truck on a dock? A wheelblock or wheellock, yes!

Muito obrigado pelo seu apoio e comentários gentis! ❤️👍

❤️👍

Thanks is for sharing your concern and caring for us ❤️👍. But I do not understand, so can you please explain? These batteries are used in Tesla's all over the world and are lithium technology as well. Can you explain what makes them a fire hazard in your eyes?
