Almost 5 years ago, I came across a home-built expedition vehicle / overland truck camper on a road trip (u/andrewmuse: this is all your fault), and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I sold my product design company and went all in on building my own overland rig. My journey started on Reddit, so it felt like time to share an update here. Broad strokes on the build: 2024 Ford F-550 Lariat diesel, 84” CA (19,500 GVWR) Full composite monocoque camper shell with custom 4-point subframe Finished weight, full fuel / no water: 15,260 lbs Front: 5,940 Rear: 9,320 Super single conversion (Continental 335x80r20) with no lift 95-gallon fresh water / 40-gallon grey water R20+ insulation R6 structural core R12 closed-cell spray foam R6 recycled PET acoustic panels + air gap EcoFlow power system with 800W solar and 10kWh batteries: this runs the refrigerator, fans, lights, etc. indefinitely Timberline 2.0 5kW diesel heater kept it warm in Colorado in February at 10,800 feet / 2°F Recycled PET wall panels Hi-Macs counters, backsplash, and shower pan Custom windows, which were probably my biggest mistake and definitely the biggest time sink It’s been a really fun, really difficult truck camper build. Way more time, money, and problem-solving than I expected — but I’m getting excited to finally use it with my family this summer. I’m still debating whether to add exterior storage boxes. Right now I’m leaning no, but that could change. My 20-month-old daughter loves it - can't put a price on that. Ask me anything about the build, the composite shell, the F-550 platform, weight, insulation, power system, or what I’d do differently. submitted by /u/mwtownsend to r/TruckCampers [link] [comments]

Hey folks, we thought it was about time we checked back in here and did a bit of an update about our overland adventure in our 1976 VW kombi. Back in 2019, we shipped Ruby from the UK to New York, which the intention of spending 12 month ths exploring the US and Canada. In February 2020, with our visa running low and still loads to see in the US, we popped into Baja for what was supposed to be a mini Mexican adventure. Then the pandemic hit and the land borders to the US closed for foreigners and stayed closed for over a year. We actually ended up as refugees and were given a special refugee visa by the Mexican government. We would eventually spend a year and a year travelling in Mexico before deciding to follow our friends down the Pan American highway, because it sounded like a laugh. So without any real preparation, we ended south through Central America, ticking off all the highlights along the way. Once we reached Panama, we had no choice but to ship around the Darien Gap. We used a company called Overland Embassy run by a guy named Alejandro who had driven his camper up to Baja from Panama before his trip was cancelled by the pandemic. We shipped to Cartagena and continued to roughly follow the Pan American Highway, veering off whenever something sounded interesting. It would lead us through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia Chile and then Argentina. We popped to Uruguay, where we left our camper and both return to the UK for the first time in 5 years. Once we returned we only had one goal, which was to make the final drive to Ushuaia. We final arrived 1969 days after we first arrived in New York. We definitely won't win any prizes for how quickly we arrived there, but I think travelling slower allows you to experience so much more anyway. With the end of the world complete, we spent so e time exploring the island of Tierra Del Fuego, which translates to Land of fire. Its kind of ironic because camp fires are banned there. A better name for it anyway would be Land of constant wind! We then had a region that we had been looking forward to since the moment we decided to drive south... Patagonia Split between Chile and Argentina, Patagonia is a vast region with looming snow capped mountains, covered in glaciers. The waters form picturesque lakes underneath the peaks. Glacier rivers carve there way through the mountains and we saw many people plucking giant salmon straight out of the waters! We would eventually spent almost 4 months there, leaving just as the autumn leaves were starting to fall. As I type this, we find ourselves in Brazil, camped next to a little reservoir. Our visa is about to run out, so we plan on returning to Argentina one final time to savour to delicious Mendoza malbecs one final time. We will then return to Brazil and explore the northern regions before ticking of the final countries in this continent l, ending in Venezuela. It's been a truly life changing trip and we hope our travels inspire others to may e one day follow in our tracks. If we can basically do it I planned in a vehicle that turns 50 this year, then there's no reason why anybody can't come down. We have met Overlanders all shapes and sizes. We once met a solo German Overlanders who was almost 70 and driving in an antique truck. We have met solo female travellers. Families. Overlanders from all parts of the world. We have also met so many amazing local people who showed us incredible kindness and welcomed us into their lives. Feeding us, providing us with booze and letting us use their washing machine and shower. We are super excited to see where this trip takes us next and can't wait to see more of South America. If you are interested you can follow our travels and find way more photos and videos on our Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts... Just search for The Kombi Chronicles. I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have about our experiences over the last six and a half years. submitted by /u/KombiChronicles to r/overlanding [link] [comments]

Thanks for the warm welcome South Africa! I finally arrived after one year crossing Africa and the west coast. I'm the first person from my country (Cyprus) to ride all the way down to South Africa! Although I'm sure you have seen many types making the trip down here, not too many from our small island have tried! Finally made it to South Africa, and honestly, I can’t believe I’m saying that. This journey has been intense. There were moments I really thought I wouldn’t make it, but here I am. It feels surreal seeing familiar faces after so long on the road. There’s so much to catch up on, and now I can finally start sharing everything that’s happened along the way, having good WiFi again, haha. If anyone is around and wants to meet up, hit me up! I’ll be riding down to Cape Town at the end of the month. If you're somewhere along the route and want a visit, let me know. It would be awesome to connect with people while I’m moving again. Here’s to the next stretch of the adventure. Happy to hear any tips as well! ps: if you wanna follow me along the road you can check me https://www.youtube.com/@CyprusNiko or instagram the same name! submitted by /u/cyprusnikos to r/southafrica [link] [comments]
