Come and learn more about our home on wheels, the ‪@mantruckbusuk‬ HX60 expedition truck we had built by ‪@motorcraftadventuredev‬ to live and travel in around the world.
Learn what goes in to a build and see Bebe as she was before we got started on conversion, as well as our thoughts on design features and processes.

Great video, would love to see a detailed tour of battery capacity, internet connectivity and any plans for water filtration when wild camping?

Great build guys, awesome, currently looking at doing the same with an HX60, in NZ to do a global trip, may I ask, why was it so imperative to remove all the waxoil? and would it be possible to just add another HX60 fuel tank making it 600ltrs all up? Love to pick your brains more. Regards Harold

Hey Harold, happy to answer any and all questions so fire away - dm or email if you want? Wasn’t imperative to get the waxoil off, but it makes for a nicer finish. But, it is a pain and maybe next time around we wouldn’t. And yes, totally possible to add a second standard fuel tank. During build we thought we’d be okay with 450L and wanted to maximise storage, but things change on the road, we’ve saved some space and could give over a locker to another custom tank.

Just came across your videos really enjoying them. We have young kids so its really nice to see how you guys are getting on with your travels. We love Spain but still a bit unsure about Morocco cant wait to see how u get on. Plus we love your overlander and would like to build one ourselves one day.

Hi there! Nice video!! What happened with your diesel generator??? Not good with the dometic tec 30??
@globaltraces
@globaltraces 3 ай бұрын
The dometic had an error that we diagnosed as a faulty main board. It was going to be expensive to fix and they couldn’t guarantee it was going to work, so we binned it off. In hindsight we should have just got this one from the get go because it’s so much more convenient - and quieter and more powerful!

Great video. If it’s not a sensitive question, ballpark, how much did Bebe cost including base vehicle purchase? I’m wondering what sort of budget is needed for this type of vehicle.
@globaltraces
@globaltraces 3 ай бұрын
It’s a very common question and we’re happy to answer! All in it was about £150-160k but that was a few years ago and both materials and build costs have gone up a lot. Not to mention the base vehicle - back then they could be had for less than £20k, now they’re more like £45-50k or more depending on where you buy from. Total cost now would be much closer to £250k depending on spec chosen.

@@globaltraces thank you. I assume that’s without doing any work yourself? I see the Gap Decaders pushing to do a conversion for £100k, but for that they definitely have to do a lot of work themselves. I guess this is your only home, no bricks & mortar homebase?

We did a couple of bits and pieces but essentially yes, it was done by others. Phil and Izzy have a great goal and we’re really interested to see how it goes. We still have a flat but it’s rented out, so this is the only place we can actually “live” full time.

Hi, love your truck and videos, just a quick question, I’m sure I first saw you guys on a TV show, where your truck was being built up, any idea where I can rewatch that? TIA

Is it possible for you to give an approximate over all cost to build something like this?
@globaltraces
@globaltraces 3 ай бұрын
It was about £150-160k all in but that was a couple of years back. You’d now be looking at c£250k due to increased materials and production costs and possibly around 1 year to get a build slot.
