ULTIMATE Bug Out RV?? Wolf Rigs Patton In-Depth Walkthrough!

[@buckhorncortez]

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.

Consider the self-cleaning shower screen that takes up no room at all for the bathroom door.

[@akiv33401]

Agreed! Something like the Nautilus Retractable.

[@brianb-p6586]

@17:54 the lack of weatherstriping is not adequate ventilation for a propane compartment.

[@irone93]

I have been exploring doing my old build similar to this

[@justinstricklin7671]

great concept for the military when going to the field doing field exercises and don't need a tent

[@brianb-p6586]

The step-in height is low for an RV - and very low for an off-road capable RV - because of the HMMWV's design, and use of the rear door opening and rear footwell for the entrance.

[@BlackSheep1]

Now I need to hit the lottery 😩

[@brianb-p6586]

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.

[@sharonbraselton4302]

buy 4 ced betyer nogs

[@jimyeats]

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.

[@brianb-p6586]

I don't know if the HMMWV is that bad for comfort, but the 4BT engine right beside the driver could be brutal. I hope the engine at least has balancer shafts.

[@jimyeats]

@@brianb-p6586It will be bad for comfort. It’s a loud, slow, rattly, rough vehicle that was implemented in the 80’s. A new paint job, dash details, and some seat covers isn’t going to fix that.

[@brianb-p6586]

@jim yeats I suppose it has military soundproofing (that is, none), so if they haven't upgraded that it would be loud.

[@brianb-p6586]

Dude, with this money you can buy a 4x4 overland rv truck in Brazil or better, a 6x6 "mamute" with boomerang suspension, build or pay to build the house and take to travel with quality and luxury for less price.

[@DouglasLippi]

Rad is right! Best RV in the USA. The Germans have these guys beat with the MAN 8x8 and 6x6 rigs, but those are in the millions of dollars.

[@Subgunman]

How about offering a bolt on shell for us DIY‘ers ? I can do my own interior work, that’s where all the money is. A friend of mine purchased one of the smaller Earthroamers, set him back almost $300k. Had nothing but trouble with it, mainly with the electricals. That company should have hired an electrician from an ambulance manufacture, they know their trade.

$350k for a weekend camper. No storage to use as a week-long to year-long life-style ride…. Hmmm🇫🇴

[@peterdarcy907]

❤🎉

[@igottimetodaybrah209]

I love the concept, but 350k is not reasonable. I spent many years driving a military hummer and they suck. 65mph max and a ton of heat coming off the engine. No reclining front seats and a lot of road noise. No comfort at all in the cab, making long drive unbearable. Only good thing is when they're off road, there's nothing better.

Cartel proof? What would that need?

[@peterson0096]

🎉 If I could make a suggestyou know I mean they weren't. No, you seem to put a lot of counter space in there when really, you only need counter space when you're cooking so I would have put the burner over next to the sync and hat you need to mount disappearing towners. So either a pull out counter or fold down counters. That way, you can have more entertaining space. During the daytime. Don't give me wrong a lot of people like a nice kitchen but a lot of people also don't like a kitchen they only needed to eat which is three times a day one hour out of the day

[@MJ-me5nj]

Did you even read what you typed? Spelling, spacing...and you called a "sink" a "sync". What the hell is wrong with you?

[@jasonrod4523]

Asking 350k and getting 350k two different things. Fact is it's way way stupid over priced. For a hummer ambulance. For 350k need a new Cummins 6.7 or Duramax. And a yatch quality interior, I see cheap plastic windows no quality euro glass, zero drive train upgrades zero. This has none of those. Seams every dummy

[@simons5193]

Gosh, your videos are so long winded. Ten minutes into your video I was bored out of my brain. 45 minutes on an RV is far too long. You don't have to go over every single nut and bolt with 50 stories by the owner/maker thrown in. Keep it short, simple and interesting and cover the main things. Nobody has the time to watch a 45 mins video on an RV!!!

[@baffledbybullshit-]

Bet the idea came from the Earth Roamer.

[@Driveby-Viktum]

The satellite trailer idea w/ umbilical is a good idea. There was an expedition vehicle made several years ago that not only had this , but the wheels were driven by the main vehicle as well, effectively turning the vehicle combo into an articulated 6x6. They look like theyre gonna have some nice stuff, man!

[@Driveby-Viktum]

I believe it was called the KlaraVan

[@brianb-p6586]

@@Driveby-Viktum KiraVan MaxiMog was an earlier Unimog and powered trailer rig by the same builder.

[@ctbrodie]

One reason I am not partial to a Sprinter because of the outrageous Mercedes maintenance costs and lack of readily available shops. What are the maintenance requirements for the Patton and would the engine be serviced by Cummins?

[@RoamGaming]

minor nitpick, lose the crossed rifles on the side. Patton wasn't infantry. Add some crossed sabers if you really want a military emblem.

[@TinyGoHomes]

Not going too lie I have mildly thought about doing something like that with my hummer h3. Not as big tho. I lived in mine during the freedom convoy 23 days. A lil more room, the ability to stand and a rear entrance would be all I need. Nice rig brother 🫡🇨🇦

[@2badger2]

Nice! How much would the MPG increase with adding some slope on the front of the cab. Any security cameras?

[@tobycameron317]

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.

[@brianb-p6586]

The tail lights shown at 17:21 are not legal vehicle lighting, because they don't have a reflector function. They look cool, but they're not adequate.

[@daivietnguyen7289]

And they gonna build a trailer (for all the toys, of course) that can share power with one another ??? Very sweet indeed !!! Just gotta have the money to afford them both !!! Well done, guys !!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@lindaaaron9653]

Good video. I like the basic idea, but the interior needs a lot of work to be comfortable. I didn't see a TV. I didn't like the refrigerator. I didn't see a fire extinguisher anywhere. I will keep an eye on this as it develops. You're definitely on to something.

[@thebatlwgn]

Lol a TV? For what Linda? Look out the damn windows.

[@lindaaaron9653]

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.

[@brianb-p6586]

@@lindaaaron9653 I don't think that a TV is unreasonable, but an alternative is a laptop computer or large tablet, with a TV tuner accessory to receive broadcasts. That avoids building in stuff that is rarely used and becomes obsolete quickly.

[@ThompsonFlash9999]

Yeah, very poor layout, definitely needs to talk to people who do this already, the layout is abysmal and lacking very basic amenities, like a flip down table, if only for two people
