  1. Hi Guys, welcome back to nearly down under. Very cool, be good when you get it all to your liking. Looking forward to your kiwi and aussie travels eventually. Trevor looks good. Just need chains for the tyres for the snow if you’re caught. ❤❤

  2. Fit flush latches on drawers and cabinets to stop them from flinging open on rough roads. Also, mount a fire extinguisher and a first-aid box within easy reach.

  3. The entire space below the mattress springs can be made into storage space. Create a storage compartment about 6" thick. On top of it, mount the mattress springs on plywood with a hinge so it opens like the engine hood.

  4. Greetings from Washington state, USA. You are baaaack! So happy to follow along again. Been watching since the central America trip. Feels like meeting up with old friends even though Ive never met you in person. Here's to an amazing journey, lots of new friends, new foods and safe travels.

  5. Is the ground clearance going be ok for your adventures, you mentioned suspension upgrades but do you intend to get the truck lifted?

  6. We have lived and travelled FT in a 5.99m Motorhome across Europe/Asia for just under 10 years… IMHO I think within 18 months you will have to rethink it and/or redesign this completely. Space, roof, windy weather and seals… Good Luck…🙏

  7. Beautifully edited video! I’m glad you are back filming and sharing your adventures with us. I admire your honesty and information.

  8. If the current height is just nice for the 40ft HQ container, beware if you replace with AT tyre and jack up the suspension later, the eventual total height maybe taller than the container height.

  9. I’ve missed you both. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures and how you adapt to travelling and living in Trevor.

  10. Oooo, Trev's engine sounds like a sewing machine! Sooo smooth!

    Aaww, you guys holding hands! 🥰🥰

    You guys are certainly going to traveling light & rugged! There will be a learning curve, the things that are essential will settle into their places, and the things that are not will find a home with someone else. 😁 And of another thing I am certain: YOU HAVE GOT THIS!! So very excited for you guys!!! ♥️♥️😎👍xx

  11. Welcome back to a new adventure omg I miss you guys so very much it’s great to wake up to you guys let our adventures begin my friends love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ you guys so happy omg yesss❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  12. 🌹❤️🌹 Wowzie Wow ❤️🌹❤️ What a fabulous truck and camper . I sincerely hope you get the bed issue resolved . The buttons came with a learning curve . So glad you've worked on this for 10 months so you can comprehend what you're looking at . Just a few more details and your on your way 🌹❤️🌹

  13. Your like two kids with a brand-new toy ! I can see why you were a bit apprehensive, an amazing project these experts got their teeth into, but apart from some details that will be changed to suit you both, it looks very modern, safe and mechanically A1 and built for purpose, wow ! places you two are now able to explore!

  14. the cozy travel sunday videos are back with this one. good luck with the test trip and maybe i get to see you two and treavor when you make it to the netherlands

  15. So glad to see you getting ready for the road after such a long time! The build looks amazing— a few tweaks here & there and let the new adventure begin!! 😊

  16. I think a normal motorhome would have been better. It all looks a bit flimsy and short of room. Probably cost a lot less , but it looks it!!

  17. Looking good. Not as much storage as Trudy had, but hopefully you can make it work. Did you get heat installed for colder climates? I remember Chris said that was a “whoops” moment, as you thought it would have been installed, but they don’t need it in Malaysia.

  18. Impressive to think I started watching you guys in Covid. You’re still going and enjoying life.

  19. Sorry guys but its awful i think youve made a massive mistake. I hope you prove me wrong but if you were you id walk away nd try and recoup your money!! Good luck x
