I worked with an HMMV that had an electronics shelter on the back of it for three years. It would go nearly anywhere. It was noisy, slow, and uncomfortable to ride in. While I appreciate its off-road abilities, it would be the last vehicle I'd choose as the base for an RV.

Cool vehicle. It will end up seeing limited off-road use by most purchasers due to its size and cost. Unfortunately as a Humvee base vehicle it will be a fairly uncomfortable tourer.

I know that 99% of what is on TV is crap and that it is a bug-out vehicle. However, 99% of the time that one uses the vehicle, one would not be bugging out. And even if you were bugging out, you would want to know what's going on out there. News reports and breaking news could be very useful. As well, if it is pouring rain outside, you're stuck inside a small space with others, it might be a good distraction. I've watched many rv videos. They all have TVs. I don't think it's such an LOL idea.

The existing design, a modified version of the classic ambulance-type Hummer (which you may be thinking of), incorporates a bunk above the drivers compartment, you'd either have to lose the bunk (namely, the whole point of the modification!), lose the windows in the bunk space (another intentional feature of the design!) or add height to the whole vehicle (which creates other problems). What he has here is the best compromise to get all the features he wanted.

A 4BT? I hope it has a balancer system; without it, a 4B must be like driving a paint shaker. For those unfamiliar with the engine, this is a 4-litre displacement 4-cylinder. Cars have balance shafts on any engine of 2L or larger, but this industrial engine doesn't always have them. It is two-thirds of the common Cummins 6B six-cylinder (like a Dodge or Ram 2500 or 3500 diesel pickup), is typically used in industrial applications and in cheap commercial vehicles (delivery vans, etc.), and is often used without balance shafts.
