Ha, that's funny. Yep already seeing comments regarding the composting toilet. I'm glad you noticed the care describe and bike right away. Good to hear from you darren.

Awesome! Thank you!

Lots of travel content on instagram. Next trip is up into Alberta this summer if all goes according to plan.

Thanks so much!

Coming soon!

@jas, I definitely like this comment!

Are you talking about the roof rack?

Hardly any avocado toast or roof-yoga. But, did I see a Carhartt beanie...

You got it!

You guys did fall down the rabbit hole. Thanks for watching and commenting.

More to come!

I didn't see you. Wish you'd come by. In La Ventana now.

Nice! We were at La Ventana before we headed to Barriles. Hopefully you’re getting some hot pool time and kiting in. Place is magical. Polar opposite, we are up at a ski resort in Washington.

Yep, that one is a must. So many little tricks and hints for composting toilets I've learned.

Will do!

Noted!

Thanks 👍

I had been kicking the idea around as well but just can't seem to let it go. Now I'm getting into the videos and minor improvements and having fun with it. Best of luck.

That's easy, victron and isotherm are two of my favorite. I would definitely use both in another build.

@@lostbox4636 awesome man, thanks for the reply. Any issues with the isotherm so far?

My first comments, thanks pete. I do appreciate it. Plans right now are to do all of those videos in greater detail.

Coming soon!

That is a good idea and one I had not thought of before. I guess I'm trying to do that in the videos I make now. Trying to talk more about what didn't work and what does and the modifications I've done.

​@@lostbox4636 2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle on a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck. Over two decades full-time live-aboard, our rig is constantly evolving.

Making a list of what people want to see. Noted. Thanks for the comment.

Good idea. I will do my best to explain changes and why.

That's the plan!

That would be me. I was there.

Good suggestions. Those will both be covered. Working on the mini split video now.

Thanks for joining my journey. I'll do my best to not be annoying. Nope, won't say that line. My least favorite, "without further ado"

Yes, I got lucky with this one. I'm afraid mine may have been part of the reason they got rare and expensive. The flooring in the video is on a panel that is removable. After the floor grate I used epoxy to make the pan drain better. Recently I took the epoxy out due to water getting under it. My bad for not creating a better bonding surface. For now I just remove the flooring panel and stand on the shower pan. I will show this in a video down the road.

Ah, this is the question. Look at my website and you'll see I've had a bunch of campers throughout the years from vw's to the prototype earthroamer. This is a full time camper built for one or two who get along very well. It doesn't zip around but is still comfortable to drive. I looked at Fuso which was plan B. Wouldn't do that now though because of lack of support. Funny, we have the dodge 2500 as well. Great platform but too light for full time. If look seriously at an f-550. Best of luck.

@Back, Our 1996 Ford CF8000 ExpeditionVehicle interior is three paces across by seven paces long. We acquired the shortest wheelbase, most of our mass is between the axles. . We think those long wheelbase rigs are restricted in manouveurs and parking. Add 2m/6' behind the rear axle seems like it'd stress the frame on a light-duty or medium-duty truck. . Our rig has a full semi-truck frame. Over two decades full-time live-aboard. So far, zero frame issues.

Lucky you. I've already made an AC video. It's a wheeled coach.

Winch system video coming. A/C video already up.

Yes, I recently spent some time with them. They are doing very well. Thanks for asking, take care.

By the way, would love to see details on your minisplit setup. An upgrade you might be interested in is the simplehuman paper towel holster, I see you’ve already got a solution but it’s ratcheting and reasonably priced.

Yes, no problem now. Wasn't practical before with the goodyears.

Now I love it when this question comes up. Dude, there's a video for that. It's the only other one.

Yes, a toilet fan. It's a natures head composting toilet. Highly recommended. I will eventually do a video on it.

Very specific so I'll answer here. Width isn't a big deal except driving in Baja where the roads are narrow. Definitely worth being 8' for the inside utility. Height needs to be as low as possible. I'm at 10' 7" which is a nice compromise for accessibility and inside ceiling height. Water, I'd say 20 gallons for weekender and up to 50 for full time. I have 70 which is great for Baja but I rarely fill it in the states. If you want the conveniences of home 600 battery amp hours (12v) would be great. I'm also a firm believer in covering the roof with solar panels. Fuel, 3 to 400 mile range is good. Good luck.

@Dan, Our first change after completing our conversion: * we added a 140-gallon 'saddle-tank' to supplement the factory 50-gallon tank. These give us 190-gallons on the rig. . On our toy-hauler I fabricated on a similar commercial chassis, I mounted an additional 120-gallon diesel tank. . We prefer acquiring fuel in low-tax areas. In theory, our range without re-fill is Anchorage-to-Acapulco.

@Dan, Instead of one yuge fresh-water tank, we use retired five-gallon stainless-steel Pepsi kegs. Our standard load is seven kegs, a total of thirty-five gallons. . With our massive GVWR, we can easily add a dozen more kegs. . In our toy-hauler, we can carry a couple-three dozen more kegs. In theory, we can go four months without re-fill.

@Dan, Irregardless of size or shape, every vehicle will inevitably sport 'pinstripes'. . We boondock exclusively. Never tried a pay-camp. Never tried a RecreateVehicles resort, but we suppose we could get seduced by the shuffleboard tournaments. The canasta marathons. The "Hello, I'm ____ " name-badges. The perky Activities Director. Sardine camping.

Go to my website LostBox.org where I talk about the truck and how it ended up this way.

12v but that was 5 years ago.

@@lostbox4636 if you were to do it over again would you go 24v?

Not at all. It's overall too heavy to make much difference.

I'll do a video covering the super single conversion. Until then look up buckstop or dbl design.

I'll do my best to answer questions here. I don't read comments on the other video anymore, it just became too much especially for not being my channel. The short answer is that I sold my house and carried the loan. I also cashed in my savings and bought real estate. I've owned many rentals and now have an AirBnB. The most important point is that you don't need much money to live full time on the road if you are willing to sacrifice. Best of luck.

Eurovision, find them at tern overland.

Bought it from a guy who somehow had an inside line on them. He made a quick 10k.

@@lostbox4636 I gotcha. Is he still selling?
