If you are an Overland Journal fan, you might recognize this build from our Summer 2021 issue. If you’re a YouTube subscriber, you might be familiar with the Tiny Home Adventure series, where Andrew Muse has documented the build process of this expedition truck. Either way, this 2004 4×4 Ford F-550 “MuseRoamer” is up for sale and on the hunt for a new and loving owner.
With 130,000 miles on the odometer, this truck has a custom-built shell and pass-through that features all of the comforts of home. Dometic products are found throughout, including Fan-tastic vents, a Penguin II AC unit, furnace, cassette toilet, 6-gallon water heater, three-burner range/oven, and a 3.5-cubic-foot refrigerator. A tasteful interior combined with off-pavement capability creates a comfortable cabin on wheels.
From the Seller:
“Want the rig designed to carry all your gear, get to the places you wanna go, and be able to comfortably live off-grid for weeks on end? Well, you’ve found it! Purpose-built to the highest degree to compete with the EarthRoamer quality while maximizing function, storage, comfort, and utility. At every crossroad in the building processes, we took it to the highest level we could.”
