ULTIMATE VAN TOUR - 4x4 offroad mercedes g wagon for overlanding van life

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THE ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD CAMPERVAN. This might just be it. Well, at least for us, this converted Mercedes G-Wagon turned out to be more capable than we could have ever imagined. Not only is it road legal in Germany, but it is also able to handle all types of terrain, like blizzards, very deep rivers, high winds, and keeps you comfortable the entire time. The interior cabin has hot water for showers, a bathroom, an electric induction stovetop, a fridge, two separate bed options, and massive amounts of storage for tools, food, and clothing. Plus, there are two solar panels mounted on the roof, and the 180ah Lithium battery can also be charged while driving, so you're never low on power. I don't think we've ever seen a van build so luxurious and functional, every single detail has been perfectly planned and executed.

This beast is named "Gregor," and we got the opportunity to test him out for two weeks in Iceland thanks to Lou's cousin Tim and his wife Rike, who had him built by the pros at ORC. We hope you enjoy this van tour and if you have any questions about the vehicle make sure to leave them in the comments and we'll try to get back to you!

We wanted to get you all the information you might be curious about, so we talked to Lou's cousin Tim who is the owner of this beautiful G-Wagon and got all the details for you :)

From a Mercedes Benz reviewer, this is an incredible masterpiece. You really can’t go wrong with a G wagon, at all. High tech with all the bells and whistles. Ultimate off-road and camping 🏕 SUV.

[tassinmonkeys]

Step 1. Have a family member who owns a kick ass van!

[timogronroos]

That’s the coolest overlander I have ever seen 💪

[laurieanne]

I love the tender way your husband teaches you things like the air compressor--so wonderfully sweet!

Lol one of the few G-Wagons that have actual off road experience.


Really awesome build!

[africaoverland]

Wonderful setup this! You must be so great full for having been give the pleasure of using it. Bring down south in africa and you’ll love the top bed 👌

[justlilguy]

I love that the van ist called "Gregor the dirty" – how fitting for his off-road adventures!

[Beatriz-oeke]

Love this Offroad series :) Lou's video editing has been getting better and better! Greetings from Portugal!

[alback]

This thing would be great in an apocalypse if we ever had one...



Oh wait!

[robertkelsow-geall]

What an incredible build! Thanks for taking us along.

What a vehicle! I love my rice but it took me awhile to learn not to burn the bottom, the method best for me is, I wash the rice real well drain, Warm the pot put a tablespoon of oil in, fry the rice till it dances than put the water or broth in, stir bring to a boil, cover turn off heat fifteen or so minutes when the rest of the meal is cooked so is the rice. I hope this helps sweet girl continue to be safe n lots of fun on your journey.

Wow Tim and Rike have done an
amazing job doing up this vehicle.
Hot showers and fancy little glasses and.... What could be
better. Would like to add that I
love listening to both of your
voices. Love your accent Dana and Lou has such a superb gentle
voice for presenting. Much love
from Switzerland.

Apart from the beautiful landscape and an incredibly capable vehicle, the narration was excellent. This style of involved story telling is often missing in professional content but thanks to alternative platforms, independent story tellers, who would not be part of organized companies are being discovered and appreciated by people world over.

That is Mercedes Benz and German engineering. The Best of all.

[richardrich]

Nicely done! I'm a millionaire and money no problem ...I went to get a $1 pizza slice the other day and I just loved it .I'm planning on buying a Pizzateria and posting it on YouTube .

[thomaslierzer]

The basic G is built in my hometown Graz (Austria), but the total rig is as german as it gets. Technical nerdism and overengineering everywhere, lovely! 😍😍😍

[wallystellmacher]

Wow, what a car! German engineering at its best! Hard not to get jealous!

[RobertWedderburn]

This build is amazing and this video presented and produced as well as the 4x4 itself! Well done!

[kathlucy]

Brilliant off road camper. Very clever design.
