Allan was an absolute pleasure to work with. We now consider him a true friend, and have been back to his place multiple times since our build. Would recommend 100%. We hope to have an interior tour out soon!

@Hughes, 2003, after a devastating diagnosis, we built our ExpeditionVehicle on a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck. Cummins 8.3 mechanical (zero computers), Allison 3060 automatic. Within a week -- while selling everything -- we completed our conversion and hit the road from Oregon with the vague goal of 'south'. . Twenty-four months twenty-four thousand miles around South America. Alaska, Panama, all over North and Central America. Summers up rough logger tracks to remote mountain lakes. Winters on isolated Baja beaches. Over two decades full-time live-aboard. And none of our caravan chums have factory RecreateVehicles.

I've spend hour, weeks and month planning the passthrough. Then came to the understanding the main use case voids the complex way it is built. For me the main use case is emergency climbing into the cab and driving away. I've heard some other owners complain about the connection allows a noisy travel that does not have to be. So I decide now since the rear of the cab and the habitat box is 2-3 inches apart, I would not need a bridge for that space, rather just install a correctly built door in each the rear of the cab, as well as the habitat wall. Allow the habitat door opens from inside the habitat, then faced with a tambour door in the rear of the cab can be opened from that view when the habitat door is open.

@HD.Adventuring 3 ай бұрын

That's a super good idea. If I were doing it again, I am not even sure if I would install a passthrough!

This is an awesome build good job. Where did you get the composite panels i am trying to find a source for them i am interested in building a vehicle myself

super cool build! can I ask what height you used for your bike door opening?

Thanks. We’re away from the truck right now, but essentially we built the bike tray, put the bikes on, and then measured it. The height is just an inch above the highest point on the bike.

Ok just started the video, my first dumb question, did you consider using a used commercial reefer box rather than build from the frame rails up yourself? Just seems it would be easier to use a commercial structure as the starting point???

@HD.Adventuring 2 ай бұрын

Lots of reasons. Weight, customizability, durability for off road. Reefer boxes are cool, but this is exactly what we wanted.

@dannydivine7699 2 ай бұрын

@@HD.Adventuring Yes the weight issue I can certainly see being big difference for sure, and being "Exactly what we wanted" is priceless, enjoy the journey, I'll tag along and watch!!

I'm building too! What is the dimensions of your storage boxes? And how tall are your tires?

Always more fun to build! We have 2 24 inch boxes and one 48 inch I think. 37 inch tires on 17 inch rims. We have another video describing wheels and tires and suspension too!

Alan was super cool helping me out with questions for my Isuzu build. Mainly part sourcing for in the US. Fun to see him work with you guys. Few questions. Do you have more details on the AC unit and solar needed, entry ladder, and glue used for interior. Thanks

@HD.Adventuring 3 ай бұрын

He’s a legend!! We used a Pioneer AC like this one: amzn.to/3Vl3cK0 and our 1200 watts of solar do a good enough job at powering it for a few hours a day when the sun is out! Allan built the stairs- they slide out and then fold down. For glue we used Sikaflex
