I knew when I met you, an adventure was going to happen

Huge Truck Camper Fans

We started small and decided to go to a full size Truck Camper, a Lance 1120. Using that was a testing ground for us and for Steve’s power system, we spent a couple years traveling to numberous iconic places that we’d never been.

Then Steve’s dream camper began to start taking shape and in 2020, the build was underway.

The DIY Adventure Rig Built in 2020 and now on the road!

With the build came the YouTube videos showing the build and our off road adventures. Several RV subjects became popular including power systems, hydronic heating, mini-split A/C and other RV mods. We have a full Technical DOCs library of drawings and technical write-ups that are available to other DIY RV owners.
