Ultimate Homemade Adventure Rig! - Andrew Muse - Tiny Home Adventures

[@AndrewMuse]

Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together!

[@EliPetersonjp]

My pleasure! Thanks so much for giving me a tour of this awesome rig! To many miles of safe and fun traveling!!

[@AndrewMuse]

@Kyle Jeffery Thank you!

[@johnbeckman8916]

Super sweet project! I pray that you have epic journeys and life's most joyous times in it. 😃

[@AndrewMuse]

@@johnbeckman8916 thank you for the support! 😊🙏🏼

[@mmmhhh.]

@@AndrewMuseouttake is ok but the word you were looking for was iexhaust by the way and really cool job you have with your camper.

[@richgreenejwrustictoolmanv9954]

That is a bad truck. Love it. And I agree the pass thru is a MUST. that and stealth are the only reason I went w a sprinter instead of a truck camper. I'm liking the truck campers more and more.

[@AndrewMuse]

Thank you! 🤘🏼 I loved my 4x4 van but not being able to stand up or have a set bed wasn't ideal with 2 people and a fully grown pup now. I definitely miss the maneuverability of the van though!

[@GoneBroke]

Great unit. One suggestion with that storage space outside under the door. Would be a nice place to design a fold out staircase.

[@EliPetersonjp]

he just posted videos of how he made this build

[@GoneBroke]

@@EliPetersonjp that's all fine it was just a suggestion.

[@sammitchel8065]

Looking Good! Your own van looks like it's coming up much better then I had imagine

[@EliPetersonjp]

Thanks!! Haha yup mine is coming together, just got some smaller things to finish up and ill post a video of it

[@robertottwell605]

Who built the box? If you get a lot of roll when it’s all loaded up you can always put in bigger sway bars

[@AndrewMuse]

Thank you Robert! We built the box ourselves in a friend's garage. Working on getting upgraded suspension now actually! Just waiting for parts to come in.

[@memefeed2147]

@Jameson Jaden it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@jlr3636]

Nice build, if I could ask one question- what glue did you use to laminate the HDO / foam insulation/ HDO? I keep wondering if the HDO glued to the ridged foam will stop or reduce condensation inside the wall. Do you have a weight of the camper?

[@KaitenKenbu]

Such beautiful work boys. Super dope.

[@hcrffi]

Great job, two thumbs up! Tell those people at EarthRoamer, you don't need $500,000 to have an go anywhere overlander rig. Keep up the super job.

[@markrich3271]

He did a awesome job. It looks really good. . Im curious why not keep the utility bed a buy a used truck camper? Seems like it would of been bigger , nicer and cheaper? Is there something he wanted he felt modern truck campers do not provide?

[@otrookie]

This is amazing. This is what I been saying the whole time to build and not spend crazy many on earth roamer. Even if you bought a way newer truck you’d still be way under. Happy travels

[@EliPetersonjp]

thank you! it tuned out great!

[@RonPaulLover123]

Nice setup. You seem to have it all covered. Enjoy that freedom baby!!

[@EliPetersonjp]

I’m sure he will! He has been working on this rig so hard. I’m sure he will enjoy the fruits of his labor

[@AndrewMuse]

Thank you! So excited to finally hit the road!

[@grimes9339]

@@AndrewMuse Hey brother, GREAT job on the truck! The furnishes makes me want to actually choose living in there compared to a small apartment lol quick question, where is your tv and couch going to go??

[@AndrewMuse]

@@grimes9339 Thank you! We'll have a monitor for me to work on that can swivel so we can watch shows in bed! And the dinette table will fold down to make that into a couch-ish 😉

[@grimes9339]

@@AndrewMuse Nice!! I'm glad you made what you visioned into reality 🙏🔥 It really goes to show you can do anything! How much did it cost to build everything? Minus the price of the truck

[@dgooch99]

probably one of the best builds i’ve seen

[@MrAndycm]

I love this build. How are the hdo walls connected together?

[@AndrewMuse]

Thank you Andy! The walls are drilled into a steel frame. I'll be doing a full build edit on my channel as part of Season 3 of Tiny Home Adventure.

[@tysonDK]

What material is hdo?

[@AndrewMuse]

@@tysonDK It's epoxy infused plywood

[@tysonDK]

@@AndrewMuse Thank you

[@chasethewind1222]

What was the total cost of the build ??

[@GreganDunn]

I would really appreciate more details on how you built the back box... Got any videos or pictures of that work you can share?

[@Fezrik]

Search up Andrew Muse on youtube. They got a series on building the vehicle. You can also go to his webpage to buy the build sheet for this build.

[@GreganDunn]

@@Fezrik thanks for the tip!

[@louishernandez8040]

I give you props, new earth roamers cost about 500k new . You did an amazing job . Looks amazing,cant wait to see more video's when you take it off road in your adventures.

[@EliPetersonjp]

[@josiem1681]

Well done I love the earth roamer it’s way over priced I’m curious what was the cost for all of this ? Bravo 👏🏻 your truck is absolutely beautiful

[@604roger]

11k for truck, 22k for rest

[@samidebayroune3478]

this is freaking awesome dude this is what I dream of every day this layout is fuck***g amazing I hope one day I can afford to build my own

Where did you put the taillights ? On the bumper under the rear compartments ? 'Cause I don't see any

[@joshreed7102]

Haha “ you poop in here and it slides out the side of the vehicle “ pitty the dude passing when a big ol nugget hits his windshield lol. !!!

[@calitaco]

Just curious. With all that height and weight, why didn't you go with DRW over SRW for added safety and stability?

[@vijayasambandam1660]

Wow!! This is the best I have seen awesome Very professional! How much is cost ??

[@alanafirdauslegacy1389]

Awesome

[@kamrenstaples]

he said he put about 60k of his own money and then about 10k from sponsors, in the ballpark of 70k

[@Nic7320]

Saw you today at d' Nitch. Nice ladder!

[@burkefox3208]

With the height of that cab over do you have a lot of lifting effect on the front end ? its a huge space between the roof of the cab and the underbelly of the cab over

[@desmondjamesmcmahon8293]

I love that mural! Not a very common color combo but very cool.

[@EliPetersonjp]

Yeah i love it too!

[@Mordrayso]

Looks amazing but, it also looks like a super high center of gravity. I'd be extremely careful, especially in high winds so as not to roll it. I truly mean the amazing comment though. It's obvious you poured your heart and soul into the build and it sure didn't disappoint.

[@AndrewMuse]

Thanks man! Yes, definitely something we are aware of. I would be super bummed if it tipped over lol

[@robgindc1]

Bad ass build! Love that it's done on a budget, gives broke dreamers like me hope. Thanks, enjoy & travel safely.

You have to have a pass thru for the dog. Great job

Rad man! Awesome to see the progress! Loved when you sat down in the chair looking out the window and were like "it's just what I wanted";^) Hope to see ya at Tailgate Alaska this year, I'll be there and the band will be sending it too:^) Oh and the pass through is sweet... I'm going to put a round "viewing" window so I can see through my camper while driving to make sure the wood stove ain't freaking out when I'm driving down the highway with a fire... I used to be able to see it in my Toyota RV but can't in the new camper and makes me nervous...good call on the pass-through.

[@johnricks3258]

Very nice, have you thought about doing this rv building as a business, its very nice,,cost effectiev, and I am sure adding your work time wont make it more expensive than whats out there ..,

[@EliPetersonjp]

seems like iit would be a lot of liability to worry about

[@joegeiger4837]

thats really fenomenal.

So how does one fabricate the actual box? How does it get structural strength? Surely that truck bed flexes some. Freaking awesome rig though! I just want to know so I can start planning a build next year! Cheers!

You cannot run those lithium batteries to 0 bud. That's the misconception of them. You get below a certain point and you ruin tr he battery just like a cell battery

I think what he meant was that the power curve stays flat from start to the point when it needs charging. Those batteries have built in protection/cutoff.
