If you get I'll promise to pay our share of road trip costs. :)

2nd mortgage doesn't sound like a bad idea.

If you somehow convince Stinky to give up some of her garden space we can work out a parking space next to the garage :)

Where would you park it? Shirks house?

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

work is making me move to sask. Think I'll sell my house, and buy this! :dizzy:

Also, the internet found me this article

mm so it might be legit. It's only about 10 grand more than most Sprinter campervans. Definitely will need a parking spot as I am sure it's over height for the carport.

Just make the carport taller! :D

I wonder who built the camper part, looks very, very similar to trailers made by a now defunct company out this way.

We've got a big driveway…

Someone from BC on the Expedition site built one very similar to that starting with a new Fuso 4x4 truck then mounting a new RV trailer (with the axle removed) to the frame rails.

I recall they did a world tour with it.

Edit 1 Found a pic:

There is a build thread somewhere.

Edit 2: A guy in Texas built this one.

For a month or so last year, there was a Fuso (or something similar) carrying a small construction trailer which had been converted to a cabin parked on our street. It was complete with antique wood skis and an ice axe bolted to the outside wall, and a flower box under one of the windows. Not as slick as these setups, but fully functional.

spotted at cypress last week - perhaps a bit more rustic, but super rad, nonetheless (note the dwarfed cherokee behind for sense of scale):

Youtube clips are about as useful to me as a miniskirt in Iran.

I'll see your Mog, and raise you the EcoRoamer. Spotted in the Horseshoe Bay ferry line up about 2 years ago.

The cab [HTML_REMOVED] frame is based on a F-650 commercial truck, then heavily modified.
