I never see somebody coming out of the living box of those kind of trucks. They are always already outside and take the staircase out. Do they jump out ? What in an emergency situation... in the dark ? I travel alone, the last thing I need is some injury on my foots or legs . Crawling trough the cabin ? Why then not always crawling in and out ? Once I made a box with a door in two parts met folding steps on the down part. This time I made a strong door, with an elevator on it. I go out that way, if I stay somewhere the platform of that elevator is almost up and there is put a staircase on, that is kept outside. It's 1,40 m high . to get in and I have a second door as a " screen door " so the outdoor can be open when I'm in or out and stil privacy . So, I come out in the morning, go down with the elevator , put the elevator up again, staircase on the platform en go in and out with that staicase. The door makes 90 ° with the wall. 🙂 ( elevator, folding platform and folding side protection so going down between that protection and the wall,/wheel of the truck. Platform is a grill to clean the shoes ) O, I builded the box and everything in or out ,myself.... again, I have to know everything, being alone on the road and I never use mechanics from garages, they are selden just at that spot where I can have a probleme... 🙂 Nice truck by the way !

@@rangemog21 thanks, great comment and solution to your problem. I actually asked the same question you were asking. How do I get out when the stairs are not down. But, I can easily get out without the stairs pulled out, by simply taking two steps down to the ground by holding on to the sides of the door. Thanks for watching and safe travels to you!

@@simonjourneyman So, the revers way to get in, steps out, going in, on the knees to put the steps back in place. On the knees, steps out going down, steps in, back in place. Looks safe to me and all we do is most a compromise and personal opinion. If you go to a truck building compagny and you ask for an elevator on the door, they send you away as a fool. because nobody ever has asked that and they don't offer that themselves. I had never seen one compagny who offer the folding staircase on the door,so why should they come up with an elevator.... 🙂 A door with steps on it, a lot of small planes have it for ages. A door in two parts and that close correctly and can hold people is ofcorse complex, more then a frame around a sandwich plate. My doors have no outside locks, nothing visible to start to put stuff in with damages by people who wanne go inside when the owner is not present. It looks all verry expensive.... and safety to protect it is not a subject. Or, five heavy locks and no protection for car windows... I ame a builder and an owner. The last thing I want that somebody was inside my home. It's an unpleasent feeling, as long as one have to live in it again.... I write this in general, not for your truck only, don't misunderstand me, I write from the point that people who see your truck, will thinck about going on adventures themselves. So the more owners share theyre toughst on things, the better... in my humble opinion.... 🙂 Times are changing, for a lot of reasons and protecthing ones things is more and more a probleme. I had never problemes, I'm 73 and my last project has a lot of wood... to hold on .... 🙂 Keep on safe trucking and thanks for your reaction.

definitely expencive but the best overthink in term of usability

Out of all the small 4x4/off road campers that I've seen over the years on youtube this is my favorite one to date. Its not too flashy/luxurious or plain, the interior is welcoming and cozy, plus for the size the bathroom has the shower and toilet separated. The fordable sink with flexible hose was a simple but smart solution for space limitations. I love this camper.

perfect. I would have swapped the gas elements with electric ones, and possibly made room for a black water tank + pump to empty the tank, and connect a regular bathroom rather than a composting one. Coffe machine and Oven, or at least one of the two, could have been sacrificed for some space for clothes to make this build a little bit more comfortable for long journeys, although they are really cool to have. Too bad the modern diesels come with the adblue additive, making these modern vehicles less adequate for more adventorous journeys. Apart from this, it's an impressive build, perfect size, really polished. This vehicle format makes a lot of sense to me. Out of curiosity, what's on the cabin roof space? Thank you for sharing.

Hi Toso, thanks for watching and your comments. Yes, I am very happy with this build. Before this build, I had a 13 ton MAN with more space for clothing, a regular toilet with 300l blackwater tank. I sold this vehicle two years ago, because it was too big and clumsy. You are right, its nice to a have a real toilet, but it also uses a lot of water. But I also have to admit that I am not really happy with my composting toilet. I thought about exchanging it for a Cinderella gas-burning toilet. After years of extensive travelling in various vehicles, I figured that you don't really need that much clothing, just had to figure out what exactly I need for all kinds of weather and climate situations - and I think I have the perfect outfits now. - I am currently working on a video just focussing on the driver cabin and I will post that soon. In the overhead compartment I have emergency kits, traffic-warning lights etc. There's plenty of space for other things too. But all things considered, this floorplan and build works perfectly for me - and the vehicle even fits into very small parking spaces in the middle of any city. Thanks and enjoy your travels!

Well specified vehicle! Well executed build out! Excellent video! May I ask several questions: What other base vehicles did you initially consider and why did you choose this one? Diesel tank size?😢 What is the weight as equipped, wet (water and diesel and propane all full) - and what is the maximum permissible weight? In practical road driving, what kind of milage do you average so far? Diesel heater (water and heat) or propane? That engine choice (+ad blue) probably is motivated by local emission rules (and then makes a lot of sense) Can this engine be operated in areas where only much less clean and much higher sulfur content diesel is available? What could it all run on - if need be? You separate drinking water from general water and have the drinking water in containers that seem easy to clean and if need be to replace (makes sense to me). But then I got confused about the filtration. You are not really sending both through the same filters and pipes/hoses - or? Could you please explain?

@simonjourneyman

Жыл бұрын

Hi Ralf, thanks for commenting and watching my video. I used to drive a larger MAN truck from KERKAM in Hamburg, Germany. It was simply too big and clumsy and I often got stuck in from of bridges that did not carry the weight of 13 tons, or tunnels that were not hight enough to pass. So I decided to sell that vehicle and buy a more compact 7.5 ton truck. - And I am very happy that I chose a Mitsubishi Fuso from WOELCKE in Heimseim Germany. So far I drove 15'000 km in the past 9 months, with a average of 14 - 17liter Diesel / 100km. And yes, this is an AdBlue vehicle, Euro6 emission class and I was very lucky to be able to import it from Germany to Switzerland, since the rules for vehicles from the EU are very strict in our country. When you drive in The Central or South Americas, you can adjust the engine to the worse quality diesel without AdBlue by implementing a chip. - But I have not tried that so far. Yes, I do have a diesel heater and I am very happy with it, almost no consumption, but with the floor heating and radiators always nice and warm, even during very cold temperatures. Drinking water: yes, exactly, I use the tree 30l tanks for the drinking water and the tanks can easily be cleaned when I fill up the tanks. And no, the water is not running trough the same tubes, it is filtered by two separate UV filters without getting mixed. I hope I was able to answer your questions. Safe travels, thanks for subscribing and greetings Simon

And yes, after having traveled with a heavier MAN truck, the Fuso feels more like an upgraded Mercedes Sprinter, very nice handling, only the engine could be equipped with a bit more power (which some of my fellow Fuso friends upgraded with a tuning-kit) And yes, if fact I am playing with the idea of installing a Cinderella toilet, one of the best toilet systems I think. My compost toilet is ok, but I generally don't like the idea of driving around and collecting the human remains for weeks on end. Happy travels, best regards Simon

Hello Ralf, thanks for watching and commenting. I try to answer all your questions: I was travelling with a lager MAN truck before buying a Fuso. It was simply too big and bulky, specially on narrow streets in Norway, of passing small villages in France. So to me the Fuso seemed like a perfect solution and I am very happy with it. The diesel tank contains 200l. But you can easily install a second, separate diesel tank. The total weight of this build with full tanks is close to 6 tons. The max weight 6.5 tons. but you can upgrade it to 7.5t max. I average about 20-25K km/year and the water and floor- and radiator heater is powered by diesel. Yes, the ad-blue engine is the only street legal diesel engine permitted in Switzerland. Friends of mine currently travelling in South America with the exact same vehicle had to manipulate the engine in order to be able to consume low-grad diesel. According to their experiences this should not be a major problem. An yes, the separate drinking water containers are the perfect solution to be sure that the water you are consuming is fresh and the containers always clean. And no, I am not sending the regular water and drinking water through the same pipes. Safe travels, best Simon

Hello Mark, my vehicle has single wheels in the back, I converted it from a double wheel chassis to single wheel.
