    Buying a Vehicle for Overlanding

    Would you mind explaining in more detail why not do a cab over design? I plan to build all the cabinets out of foam and fiberglass or carbon fiber sandwich panels to keep the overhead weight down. Many overlanders talk about carrying extra fuel and expanding the fuel capacity. Also, I’m...

    Got some questions about the Ford F-series trucks. How and how much can the gas tank be expanded? Also, can the water tank be installed between the frame members? How big a water tank can it take. I know the water is the heaviest component in the entire RV and needs to be installed as low as...

    Buying a Vehicle for Overlanding

    I've thought up some more questions. I'm wondering if hiring someone to weld an aluminum frame in the shapes shown in the pictures posted here is feasible. I have no idea what such a project would cost. Do you guys know? I would expect to be scrapping against plants during my travels, so some...

    My budget will be around $35k to $40k. I won't know for a while. Then I can spend around $700-$800 a month for a next 7-8 years.

    Buying a Vehicle for Overlanding

    What you have there would be the most doable option for me. I've looked at many design ideas for that kind of camper. I would mock fit everything before buying them to see if everything can be worked in. The hard part would be preparing it for very cold weather if I was ever to get stuck...

    Buying a Vehicle for Overlanding

    I was just looking at the EarthRoamers and I see that they are built on Ford F550's and designed for global travel. If I was to go visit London or Paris, for example, could I just park somewhere outside city limits and take some other transportation to the sights? My plans are to visit the...
