Why would we? you lied about this video. The title is motorhomes for adventure. Off road caravans. This is about a fire truck conversion and nothing else. I'm sorry do you even watch these shitty videos before you post them. It would really help when you get around to naming it. Ass Face.

The quality of the build would amazing if this were offered by any of the bigger camper makers, but it's downright staggering for a DIY. The level of clear vision and innovation is just amazing. The bathroom looks like it works well and the inside/outside pantry access will be standard on top tier campers in the future. My only possible change might be the exterior color to better blend in with the intended operating environment. Although, as many boaters know, white yields less thermal stress on the skin and makes for a cooler interior which is a big plus in the warmer climes, and/or seasons. All in all, on a scale or 0-10, I'd give a "100". Out of ten. That's how beyond full scale I see this.

[@canislupis3129]

As always, love the Germans total dedication to quality from start to finish. Seems to me the problem of allowable weight for the rating of the owners driver’s license could be improved by the driver qualifying for a superior rating? It becomes evident that this isn’t a huge factory set up with high end equipment to do the total build under one roof. That’s ok for me. It shows they hustle parts and trucks from wherever they can and then have to engineer on the fly, take in customer requests and modify to supply. They are a small group with broad skill sets. They discussed the length of the chassis may be a problem over harsh terrain. Would it be possible to have some kind of articulating knuckle in the middle so that you could momentarily accommodate a high center type of situation. It would offer the owner/driver an option to safely drive his rig out of that unbalanced scenario. love the mock-up on the separate wooden unit that will be the layout the customer wants.

[@diraltmcallister3523]

They have that artic in the center in certain dumptrucks, it's called a wigwag and it's a complete fuckup. Look up center steer or wigwag fuck ups. They're rather spectacular

[@bohemoth1]

Yes unlike the American auto workers who always are looking for short cuts at an over inflated price. The American AUTO Workers have always been notorious for COST OVER RUNS of cheaply made products. Lately the Americans have become parred with China in cheap goods. But unlike China the American cheap goods are extremely expensive. I really love the way Germany works with extreme pride in their work. It's their dedication for perfection that really impresses me.

Speaking as a truck driver, I thought that old Mercedes would be a dog to drive (having plenty of experience with that model) But after the upgrades, it looked prettty swish as it goes. I've got to say though, That M.A.N is a real beast. I'd love to take it on holiday, but i wouldn't want to go into any wilderness or dodgy countries for fear of bandits. My destiniations would be plenty tame!

[@marydenis6619]

[@supadupahilton6848]

I watched this video last night. My whole life I'd never seen a firetruck like that since I live in the US. So Im stopped at a light a few minutes ago, and what pulls up next to me? THE SAME RED MERCEDES FIRE TRUCK! In California!! It was the two bay version, but other than that identical!

[@avnmech]

I’d rather have the fire truck version. Both are beautiful trucks, but to me the fire truck guys are kinda the underdogs coming in for the win!

[@NomadicLiving]

What they fail to discuss is how many place you can actually drive those things - the beautiful, desirable locations don't allow giant trucks tearing up the pristine landscape. In the locations nobody cares if it gets torn up, nobody wants to spend much time in because it is dull and un-glamourous. Expensive overland vehicles overland about 20% for actual overlanding, the rest of the time, they will be where everyone else is - in campgrounds, in parking lots, and on roads.

[@williesnyder2899]

Bad welds on seams are indeed unseemly!! My hat is off to folks with precision skills and the resolve to perform up to snuff, no matter what task presents itself! A like the boxy, burley look of these vehicles. Rounded, “bubbly” units would be equally cool. Fun episode! (Every mega-camper needs a stout winch! Winches are so cool!!) Converting a monster recycling truck into a camper would be great; lift arms re-purposed somehow.

[@scotshanley]

Two completely badass vehicles. It blows my mind that the smaller of the two only has a 280hp engine, for reference my BMW S1000RR motorcycle has 205hp. The fact that the smaller vehicle is so capable of moving that amount of mass so efficiently yet only has 75hp more then my motorcycle is mind blowing 🤯. Nice work to all the gentleman involved in both projects 👍 👏 Truly beautiful work. 👍😉😎👍

We have many "Grey Nomads" traveling around Australia in RVs and caravans/trailers. Some of them want to go north, up Cape Yorke. Very few of their vehicles survive more that 20 km or so off the bitumen. They shake to death on the corrugations. Proper off-road vehicles like these are the way to go. We've been building them for at least 60 years, but probably not as lux as these ones.

I find it absolutely amazing the incredible lives some people on this planet live. I wonder if they will ever truly know just how very lucky they are. It has been my experience in life (59 years) that the more these people have, the more they complain. Back in the late 90's my company was sold to a billionaire. All this man did was complain about money and how some of his friends had more money than he did. He cut wages and medical benefits to all of the employees in our company so he could save a few bucks and he worked everyone one of us to the bone. Today he is worth over 2.8 billion dollars, I wonder if he is any happier. My advice, work smart, not just hard and work for people that appreciate you, if not look elsewhere or work for yourself. Life is too short to get caught up in such nonsense. Let them have their toys, in the end they will be judged just like the rest of us, now that would be an interesting program to watch.........On another note, I have such respect and admiration for the dedicated people who actually design and build such vehicles, simply amazing!!!!!!

(26:36) - Don't like the way that ceiling edge "underlaps" the side wall. OK, it will be sealed but after a few years of harsh sunlight and other extreme weather, the sealant will become brittle and crack. All along the top edges is just rain-leaking waiting to happen. If only the outer edge of the ceiling *_overlapped,_* rather than underlapped, then any failing sealant would be much less of a problem. I wish the guys building this thing would comment on my concern. >
