The Reality of Building an Expedition Truck in North America (Start to Finish)

Описание: Check out the new Expedition Vehicle website by Atkinson Vos: https://www.expedition-vehicles.com/

In this episode we sit down and share the full story behind building our expedition truck, from the early research and sourcing process to the moment it finally arrived and became our full-time home on the road. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to find and build an expedition vehicle for overlanding, we walk through the entire process of choosing a platform, why we decided on a Mercedes-Benz Unimog, how we sourced the truck, what factors influenced our decisions, and what we’ve learned now that we’ve been living and traveling in it full time. We talk about the anticipation leading up to the purchase, the realities of importing and acquiring an expedition truck, and the lessons we learned along the way that may help anyone considering building their own overland vehicle or truck camper. Whether you're dreaming about long-term overland travel, researching expedition vehicles, or curious what it’s like turning a Unimog into a house on wheels, this video breaks down the reality of building an expedition truck from start to finish.
