•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••COVID–19 UPDATE•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Good morning all!

Like if I didn’t had enough problem already, that virus is making it even worst. Long story short: German and Canadian governments are calling us back separately .... so we need to decide if we stay together or split for who knows how long.... in both cases, we need to leave the USA. So any reasonable offer will be accepted! My lost your gain....




******************* UPDATE Febuary 29th 2020 **************************

I'm back in the US after the surgery and ready to sell, here is a short video to show the interior. Sorry for the boring voice! Feel free to ask any question. Thanks.



*********************************************************************

I will try to keep this as short as possible, what is difficult with all the work done! This camper is 99% completed. It is one of, or the most unique Overlander you will see. You can’t imagine how many people come to talk or ask if they can take pictures, even the police came to us in a illegal parking to ask if we can take a picture of them with the truck.

I'm traveling/living in it full time and was supposed to do so for the next year at least. But my girlfriend ended up in hospital overseas and needs multiple surgeries in the next months. She won’t be allowed to travel at least for 1 year in the best case. So, I will sell and fly back to be at her side.

The truck and camper were built in 2019, so everything I will list is new.

1979 F600 original 4X4 (Rockwell axles)

Camper:

All custom built, the frame is made of Russian plywood in a special matrix pattern for more strength, then fiberglassed in and out with polyester resin. Walls have 3.5 inches of insulation, and ceiling have 2 inches. Every gap is filled with urethane, so there is no possibility of condensation. The roof lifts 4 feet at the back and it makes a full bedroom with Queen size bed. The popup frame is made of galvanized steel and lifts with a winch that is hidden in the cabinet. Counter tops and table are made of thick laminated and oiled hard wood (birch, Cherry wood, Amaranth and black African wood). Cabinets are made of Russian plywood, stained and varnish. Fridge and freezer are integrated in the counter top, it makes it easier to see inside and keeps the cold air from escaping like normal front-loading fridge. Deep 9 inches Blanco (German) sink. Pressurized cold and hot water (electricity or from engine coolant). Wet Toilet with composting toilet and mosaic tile. Completely autonomous, it can be 4 days with no sun at all, only on batteries.


ALL NEW 2019:

220 ah liFePo4 battery (lithium)
60 amp BMS controller
40 amp MPPT solar controller with Bluetooth and APP monitoring
600 Watt Trinastar solar panel (best on the market, Output 650 watt)

Nature's head composing toilet
Shower pump
Pioneer Bluetooth radio, 4 speakers, 12 inches 1300w subwoofer/Amplifier
5Kw diesel heater
Skylight
Keyless entry latch
Fire extinguisher
ETC……..


Every person who saw it told me that there is now way anybody can build something like this for my asking price, what is true because it only covers the cost of material and professional services. I could get a lot more money if I would wait for the right buyer. I have thousands of hours in this project. It is built to last, it will still stand the same way in 40 years without any doubt. GVWR is 24,000 pounds, currently around 7 tons. It will drive faster than you want to go. I need to calculate again, but I get around 14 mpg at 60 Mph. Feel free to ask any question. Thank you.

Presently in Las Vegas, but I can deliver anywhere.

ASKING PRICE: 95,000$ OBO

Without a doubt one of the coolest rigs I have seen on the portal. The truck alone is old school cool but the camper has a practicality to it that is so far lost these days is so much we do with our rigs. Simple, functional, rugged. I feel like most of that has gone the way of the manual transmission and hand crank windows. Always like seeing projects that embrace simple well thought out things. Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks! I doubt that any of the new truck will last 40 years out there with barely no rust. I'm sorry but, they don't make anything solid like this anymore. And the camper box is as solid or more! Rugged is the good word. Not for everybody. Thanks again.

This is an absolute cherry. Bravo!

Thanks a lot! I will try to post a YouTube video soon... Many people wrote me saying that they don't understand the layout and also people who saw it in real told that the pictures doesn't reflect all the work done. I agree that the truck was all dirty and not with a nice background when I took them... I will fix that shortly.

Thanks again!

Myself and my sweetie both had the opportunity check Mats camper recently and were both impressed by the design, style, & "coziness". He and I drove our rigs (me in Mayahual) back to the compound from the Avila dog beach along HWY 101 and his truck SERIOUSLY "got on down the road".

Hey Matt! I hope that everything with you and your girl turn out GREAT! AND!!! You keep your TRUCK!!!!!

Thanks a lot! I will soon fly out of the US for a while, hopefully my girlfriend will have the green light to travel again next year and will come back with me! Thanks again to both of you, you are amazing. We stay in touch.
