The best Toyota pick up camper I have seen!

This Pick up Back camper is the Exped.25.FD world camper on a Hilux Extracab. The vehicle features an off-road chassis designed for the vehicle weight. The cabin has a separate toilet compartment with a dry separation toilet as well as a large shower in the entrance area, which also serves as a dirt lock. Lithium battery, voltage converter, induction hob, a king-size comfort bed and Raptor coating of the cabin also come as standard. Optional Raptor coating of the vehicle can now also be ordered.
Other vehicle modifications, such as a larger fuel tank, snorkel, underride guard, winch, off-road tyres or Hilux 35-inch conversion are also offered as options.

You can load the sink with ice to use it as a cooler to put beer in for a fun night.

[@lesleywall4186]

This is a really good layout. All you bedding is out of the way on top of the mattresses. Would be a good design for a 'normal' van. I like the orange bags. More modern, more flexible and easy to take into the house and bring out ready to go.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I think the bags are a great idea - I notice other companies are doing this too!

[@roberthunter6927]

The composting toilet is an excellent move. The toilet/wet room could be made slightly larger, and the shower put in there. Curtains for showers are not the best solution, especially when you have a wet room already present. I don't care who you are or how careful you are, water is going to escape into the rest of the cabin. The fridge is in an awkward place. Having it mounted on a slide-out so you can access it from outside as well as inside would be good. But it is Europe, so maybe they are assuming it will rain 90% of the time?

[@wheelie642]

If you make a butcher block cover for the sink you can use it as storage and even use it as an ice cooler.

€130K for a Gardena shower, very nice.

[@RickyTwoCents]

This is nice, but the 2023 IMV 0 - $10,000 Ute, that you can put a camper on the back exactly like this video, which is what I’m looking forward to.

[@ellievans1698]

but then.. don't miss our Hilux Trailcat ;-) 🤫

[@apprenticeofeverything]

Love the outside look of it but for real the interior is not very designed nor engineered. kudos for the big sink. composting toilet is the best option for overland vehicles as you may go for weeks without access to sewer to dump chemical toilet. The bed: when stowed away you end up with a barricade, you can use it at all, not even to momentarily taking something off your hands. instead of folding up it could slide in and out and the amovible foam/mattress used as a back rest in the farthest point of the bed, doubling as single bed always ready. Fridge: Cmon, under a seat? need to get up and take the pad every time you need to access it? plus, it's an absorption cooler, very inefficient and doesn't really cool anything that much. these days, a 12v compressor fridge with freezer costs about the same as a mid range cooler. Dry room could double as shower room. Cabinets: pianno hinges? prone to rust at the slightest salty air and amazingly quick to generate galvanic corrosion with screws. Good sliding drawer. Bad design for top cabinets to open folding down. (maybe short clients who wouldnt reach the door if it open upwards with gas shocks?). Stove: nice incorporation of induction stove, though for me i'd need at least two burners. Would love to see more about the lighting scheme and positioning of the switches. Also didn't see any heating/cooling units for air/water. Seems like there aren't many AC and USB outlets to charge/plug things. I saw one once near perfect. See it on instagram **thewow_travels it's worth to check out!

[@neoaliphant]

interesting show, good for wshing off mud/beach/dog/ski boots, usefull in expedition vehicle. this is not a campsite vehicle after all so composting better than cassette. storage over comfort. nice colourscheme. only issue wasted space in toilet for infrequent use area. perhaps sliding pullout storage the moved over the seat when toilet in use.

[@chikiboomboom665]

foldable sink above the toilet would be great though

[@christophedelorme7705]

hello, I really liked the rail storage with the yellow bags. I looked at the manufacturer's website, there's nothing! can you tell me where to buy this system? Thanks for your feedback. Christopher.

[@graemetaylor1846]

Hi Alan, What are the clips used in the shower, they’d be idea for me. I’m assuming they just fit into an existing shower curtain track?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

They do Graeme but I think I better get you the proper name of them and the company to get them from which I don't know at present. It might take some time to come back to you on this one!

[@R1S0.]

6:35 i thought it would close up the bed space from the cabin..... so it wont smell like the cooking..... also switch the functions of those seats..... really hard way to get into the fridge.

[@SuperLetout]

What is so special about the 12k door?

[@ljubljana1238]

Price😂 those door from smaller manufacturer around 1k

[@benni.rosinante]

Thanks for the video. Does the Hilux have a strengthened frame? Otherwise I can't think of going offroad with it, or?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I don't know Benni, I thought it had quite a strong frame to begin with. I shall find out for future videos.

[@larsstern2542]

Legitimate concerns, but real off-roading will be difficult anyway, since a high center of gravity is a major disadvantage. But to the frame breaks: The cabin is made of sandwich GRP panels, i.e. two glass fiber reinforced plastic panels, which are connected with an approx. 4cm thick PU foam layer, which are extremely stable on the same principle as the I-steel beams, but in addition extremely light in terms of weight. A cabin with interior fittings sometimes weighs less than 600 kg. In addition, the flatbed at the rear saves weight, since the body is removed, so that the curb weight does not really increase drastically. Contrary to the widespread opinion, frame fractures are usually not caused by a force alone, but by moments, i.e. forces depending on the distance to the pivot point. Most often, the frames break between the rear tires and the cabin. The middle rises up, the front and back face down. Accordingly, too strong a force acts too far behind the pivot point. If you set up the equation of moments, it turns out that the alcove, which is in front of the point, actually counteracts the force (because the cabin is stiff) and reduces the moment at the point of failure. Reinforcing the frame is very difficult, in Germany (where I and the manufacturer in the video come from) it's not really allowed, if only in a big detour. The problem lies in the execution: When welding, you bring heat into the material, every weld seam is a weak point. Accordingly, it may be that your frame no longer breaks at the point where you are trying to prevent it, but at the welds, maybe even with less weight since forces are now at work in places that were not designed for them. Drilling into the frame is usually counterproductive, if you want to take more load with you, you should simply choose a more suitable vehicle concept. I hope I could help

Micky mouse money ,25 k new for the truck so your saying the conversion is worth all that money , absolute nuts , in England most that's worth is 40 grand , no wonder we won the war

[@VanlifewithAlan]

What war was that?

[@MrEnglischjules]

really If it was English then the build quality would be poor, nails or screws stuck out. Glue blobs everywhere.. peeling fake wood.... dodgy wiring where you get a shock all the time and more leaks than a you could imagine... and a door that hangs off. Its way out of my price range but if you think the truck is 25k new.... and that its standard anyway you have no idea what you are talking about
