- Turtle_n_PeepsExplorerLooks like a well thought out and well designed unit.
The dude must have watched the Brady Bunch a lot when he was a kid judging from interior colors. :E :B - ShinerBockExplorerAlthough I know it is only being done for vindictive reasons, I really don't care where the stuff comes from. The whole setup and the fact that he assembled it mostly himself is pretty cool. The only thing I would have changed is a manual p-pumped 12 valve instead. Although he does state that that was what he was looking for initially.

In the truck camper section of this forum are a few hard core off roaders with more conventional campers. They seem to be in even tougher terrain.
The guy who owns that thing is a photographer/writer, and that is his work vehicle to get him to places to shoot pictures. If you go on his website then you will see that truck going through more than just the scenic pictures in the article. Especially the articles where he writes reviews for all the off road equipment on that truck like the Maxtrax and Warn winch.
Can add as well as Maxtrak you include several ARB products that he used. ARB is fairly big in the Australian RV scene and has a considerable prescence in the US Overland scene - ShinerBockExplorerLol, I called it.....
As far as the topic, that truck was (or maybe still is) for sale for $48,000.
EEXP: For Sale - RobertRyanExplorerMaxtrax is an Australian company that is getting a bigger profile in the US

That happened to me one time. Literally in the boonies near Queens, NM. Woman and kids pull up and park right next to my group. She was camping (or maybe living in a car, idk) and evidently she didn't bring much because she borrowed a lot of stuff. Weird and awkward, all rolled into one.
Yeah, that is a bit awkward. - RobertRyanExplorer

That's roughing it too much for me. Think I'd miss my private bath and king size bed.
Yeah, definitely not for everyone.
Although, after posting this, I have a suspicious feeling someone is going to go off the topic of this truck and post about Australian and global truck and campers like this. Just a hunch.
Thanks for mentioning the Australian RV industry but like your example they are not tow vehicles. More appropriate for the TC or Class C sections of this forum like your example
