    It is so impressive to learn how to do all this and then do it yourself. I can barely walk from the kitchen to the living room without spilling my coffee. People like this are inspiring.

      @Idk__ I think it's the practicality/risk involved. If you fuck up, it matters. Insulation, wiring, and not to mention getting your rig insured.
      I dream of doing stuff like this but worry it's not even worth it. If the truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere, good luck finding a mechanic who can fix LMTV's.

    I have seen most luxurious camp trucks but with a tight budget and everything you have done it’s completely amazing. The things which i like the most is-
    1. Dog area which i never seen before.
    2. Classic simple Dinning table with window just in front of kitchen as most of the luxury trucks fails in this thing.
    3. The garbage and shoes area are just behind main door. When you put washroom and kitchen garbage it will not stink or smell because you can open door. Moreover you will never forget to dump it.
    4. The bed have bookshelfs and moon roof.
    5 The last and most important which i have liked the vehicle, the mechanism, its not complicated like new ones as anyone can repair at anywhere if it’s have problem.
    To conclude the only thing that i want too add is little cockpit door which will connect both of them through bedroom.
