As a Swiss citizen that speaks German, I have to say, this is one of the best English translation i've ever heard. 👍

This is what happens when rich people find out about camping

That german people are at another level. They build exelent machines.

Total accuracy Static equilibrium Some fancy words for a simple fram extension.

To everyone at WELT. Thanks for all the awesome episodes. It is channels like thís that make me watch UKposts👍🇿🇦

I swear this is one of the greatest channels on UKposts. I can't believe how amazing the content is. It's like having Discovery Channel, Built it Bigger, Megabuilders, and Building Giants all back at once.

Amazing - both!!! Rarely have I enjoyed a UKposts documentary as much 👍🏽

Uses a 30 year old truck as his working truck. That’s cool as hell!

High level expertise - these guys are really impressive. German engineering 👍

Well done!!! driving without seat belts fastened and off road with the free seat shock absorber !!! really congratulations !!!

The servants will follow behind in 25 of his Toyota Land cruisers.

Andre is very innovative.......its amazing work.....very captivating to c how they turned an old truck into a beautiful motorhome.

Amazing work.. this video was well put and details and approach wonderful.. awesome wrk 👍👍👍👍 well done projects so professional

Andre is the brain behind everything, smart guy

love the solid liver German shorthaired pointer he has.. GSPs are probably the best dogs for this lifestyle.. besides being great on the trail they are so loving and cuddly!!

Good job Andre and team!

Just brilliant! I'd be happy with either of the motorhomes, but bigger is better if one can afford it.

I watched this video last night. My whole life I'd never seen a firetruck like that since I live in the US. So Im stopped at a light a few minutes ago, and what pulls up next to me? THE SAME RED MERCEDES FIRE TRUCK! In California!! It was the two bay version, but other than that identical!

Das sehre shune und unglaublish,it’s just absolutely incredible.

I really liked the smaller one much better. That other behemoth will have so many limitations on where you can actually drive lmao

Speaking as a truck driver, I thought that old Mercedes would be a dog to drive (having plenty of experience with that model) But after the upgrades, it looked prettty swish as it goes. I've got to say though, That M.A.N is a real beast. I'd love to take it on holiday, but i wouldn't want to go into any wilderness or dodgy countries for fear of bandits. My destiniations would be plenty tame!

I like that the Berlin boss still has a haircut from 1989... probably kept it as a souvenir after "die Wende"

German precision, both bottom and high end, pure perfection.

WELT is amazing.......the way they turned and old fire truck into a beautiful motor home is lovely..such hard work and precesion ....you guys are amazing...

Beautiful and elaborate smart building process, I wish you success always

noooo, give me a TOUR of the awesome INTERIORS!

Very Interesting, Really Enjoyed

That's one well preserved Firetruck container. Damn...

Two completely badass vehicles. It blows my mind that the smaller of the two only has a 280hp engine, for reference my BMW S1000RR motorcycle has 205hp. The fact that the smaller vehicle is so capable of moving that amount of mass so efficiently yet only has 75hp more then my motorcycle is mind blowing 🤯. Nice work to all the gentleman involved in both projects 👍 👏 Truly beautiful work. 👍😉😎👍

@WELT Documentary keep making great documentaries hope to see more .

This is the 3rd time I’ve watched this video and like the previous twice I’ve watched it it’s just like watching it for the first time it is that good and thank you for making this video. 🙏🙏🙏

Awesome!!! Every second of this video was worth watching! Content you can actually learn something from.

This video is epic guys!! I’ve got an off grid short bus camper. Not quite as gnar as these but I overland with it! It does great! 🤙🤙

great documentary. i really like the small outfit that work with the older vehicles. the MAN was nice but shows that if you throw enough money at something you will get it.

This is freaking awsum & of course alot of work, yall did a excellent job. I would love to have one but whew the 💰 for them is ouch so I would be happy just to check one out.

I love my off road rv like that , bought it out of Alaska

Great job! But what happened with the green cabin? As was said "repainted". But the silver one is kind of medium size between the red one and silver.

Wow! I want the 8x8 but with a isx15 Cummins engine with all of the manual gears possible! And I want lockers all the way around! And a 100% bullet proof and bomb proof construction!

👍👍 Absolutely stunning and jaw droppingly impressive!

This is one of the things I'd spend a big windfall on. I have been away in Africa and South America in overland trucks on Safari and crossing the Amazon, and there really is nothing quite like it. With this current situation, I can't think of a better way to travel short of a private jet and megayacht.

Essa Man é um monstro! Eu ficaria um pouco feliz com um desse. ❤

They said they were swapping the single cab with a double cab with 4 seats. The finished vehicle only had the single cab with 2 seats. Did I miss something? Where is the double cab?

We have many "Grey Nomads" traveling around Australia in RVs and caravans/trailers. Some of them want to go north, up Cape Yorke. Very few of their vehicles survive more that 20 km or so off the bitumen. They shake to death on the corrugations. Proper off-road vehicles like these are the way to go. We've been building them for at least 60 years, but probably not as lux as these ones.

16:47 "De-cabitated" lol 🤣😂🚚🚛

Nice, this was very interesting! But the 8x8 MAN is being tested on ground that can be driven by a normal car without much problems.... the old Merc, now thats a proper test! i really like the look of the MAN but if had to choose one i'd go for the 4x4 mercedes. the builder is right, the older engine and such can be fixed way easier in the wild.

The MAN is so beautiful and so much power from the engine

Amazing watch, thanks.

I love those pass through doors

the rockers are crazy amazing

(26:36) - Don't like the way that ceiling edge "underlaps" the side wall. OK, it will be sealed but after a few years of harsh sunlight and other extreme weather, the sealant will become brittle and crack. All along the top edges is just rain-leaking waiting to happen. If only the outer edge of the ceiling *_overlapped,_* rather than underlapped, then any failing sealant would be much less of a problem. I wish the guys building this thing would comment on my concern. >

I can't help but think that gonna look nice when it tips on its side and wrecks those "real glass windows"

Excellent hard work, high quality stuff used

German engineering at its finest! 👌🏼

The quality of the build would amazing if this were offered by any of the bigger camper makers, but it's downright staggering for a DIY. The level of clear vision and innovation is just amazing. The bathroom looks like it works well and the inside/outside pantry access will be standard on top tier campers in the future. My only possible change might be the exterior color to better blend in with the intended operating environment. Although, as many boaters know, white yields less thermal stress on the skin and makes for a cooler interior which is a big plus in the warmer climes, and/or seasons. All in all, on a scale or 0-10, I'd give a "100". Out of ten. That's how beyond full scale I see this.

great video loved it one best i seen for long time

Done a few trips to Africa and South America in vehicles similar to these, no luxury but you definitely get off the beaten track.

Thanks for sharing, good vid' we apreciate to talk about prices. With a good used truck (old army) we can expect a good camper for a total price less than 100 000 US$. The word is "travel as light as possible" And for me the 30 Years truck merco is the limit. I used the same for heavy jobs such as jobs with oil companies. But spare parts are expensives.

Amazing documentary production! 👍🏻

Thank you for this excellent documentary!

I’d rather have the fire truck version. Both are beautiful trucks, but to me the fire truck guys are kinda the underdogs coming in for the win!

As always, love the Germans total dedication to quality from start to finish. Seems to me the problem of allowable weight for the rating of the owners driver’s license could be improved by the driver qualifying for a superior rating? It becomes evident that this isn’t a huge factory set up with high end equipment to do the total build under one roof. That’s ok for me. It shows they hustle parts and trucks from wherever they can and then have to engineer on the fly, take in customer requests and modify to supply. They are a small group with broad skill sets. They discussed the length of the chassis may be a problem over harsh terrain. Would it be possible to have some kind of articulating knuckle in the middle so that you could momentarily accommodate a high center type of situation. It would offer the owner/driver an option to safely drive his rig out of that unbalanced scenario. love the mock-up on the separate wooden unit that will be the layout the customer wants.

Great video. Keep them coming OR translate the other ones :-)

after this i just remember tornberry's family

Did I understand this right, they are using the existing motor from one of the trucks, and not even a rebuild, or what I would demand, a fully new diesel crate motor? Interesting vlog Welt, Thanks

“But after 30 years together, the 2 are far from willing to part” idk why I loved that line so much 😂

Shouldnt the frame have been Z cut before welding for more strength?

Takes 'glamping' to the next level! I will camp in my element thanks.

love the translator, also I'm pretty sure the only place you couldn't get parts for that Mercedes diesel is in the united states

10:15 “A truck weighing machine,” also known as a “scale.”

I like the princes monster but I would have added all wheel steering because with that tandem front end you have the turning radius of an ocean liner.. other than that it is awesome

Mudrunner mods are looking good!

nice and perfect vehicles

6.000 working hours for the carpenter is like almost 3 YEARS. Is this possible!?!😨😨😨

*THIS type of vehicle is my dream home!* ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Its very insane, i just keep imagine having this truck

This team of young mechanical engineers have made the dreams of these adventurists come true. This documentary certainly promotes those who have the wherewithal to live and give their kids that feeling of the outdoors and adventure. Fantastic construction and brilliantly depicted. Thanks for the thrills

29:51 "In the end the carpenter will have put in 6,000 working hours" Forgive my skepticism but 6,000 hours is equal to 750 8-hour work days. I doubt this project took him over 2 years (with no days off) to complete. In fact, with a five day work week it would take almost 3 years to complete. (3 years - 6,240 hours)

IMO, the Mercedes firetruck conversion is well worth the money. I would take that over the other behemoth any day

excellent work

What they fail to discuss is how many place you can actually drive those things - the beautiful, desirable locations don't allow giant trucks tearing up the pristine landscape. In the locations nobody cares if it gets torn up, nobody wants to spend much time in because it is dull and un-glamourous. Expensive overland vehicles overland about 20% for actual overlanding, the rest of the time, they will be where everyone else is - in campgrounds, in parking lots, and on roads.

The little one costs more than my house!

Impressive. I really like my Tundra/ FourWheel camper.

Saw the larger truck in the intro and immediately thought "This is something an Arab prince would by for one season, clout, and have it occupy a garage until they resell it five years later. Then they confirmed that 10 minutes in.

This is exactly what I would consider traveling in or even living in on the road. This so amazing 🤩

34:54 You know it's serious when they have Super Mario working on your truck.

This quarantine made us watch countless hours of different videos.

Amazing

Fantastic, love it. But my question is, how the hell do you change a tire if alone in the middle of nowhere, is that even possible ??

I thought the other truck switched the cab to fit the 4 person cab?

Thanks UKposts for the recommendation

Impressive

I WANT ONE OK, I LIKE THEM ALOT.

Shop full of money ! Good luck to you.

Вы очень хорошая компания!!! Очень понравился МАН 6/6.

I LOVE DAT! 1

Made in Germany 👌👍

That’s an apocalyptic truck right there

Ich komme in der naehe Stuttgart aber ich wohne in Vancouver Canada,aber ist zeit das wir bauen (machen) the best of the best Motorhomes For Adventures. Just keep coming spitze ;) :)

**PERFECT FOR THE APOCALYPSE!!**
