These are a few video clips as we drove along the Dempster Highway and crossed the Arctic circle. We saw a lot of wildlife along the way. This particular grizzly ran ahead of us and then circled around behind us to check us out again. It ended up coming extremely close to the truck, so we decided to leave the area. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

We’ve also been doing a lot of little things on the truck. The truck is in about the best shape it has ever been. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

While we were working on the water system modification, we also added the provision to winterize the water system. We made a little fitting that snaps into the jerry can quick disconnect under the sink so that compressed air can be used to blow all the water out of the system. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

We put a quick disconnect in the shower to easily disconnect a stainless braided 5 foot long shower hose and spray head. It’s a nice length because it can reach out through the door of the habitat, so you can choose to shower indoors or outdoors. Prior to our trip, several people said that they liked to shower outside and we were a bit skeptical. However, we found that we completely preferred showering outside during our trip, so I’m not sure that we would use this setup to shower inside very often, but it’s all set up for indoor or outdoor showering with hot water now. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

We ended up going with the 12V Elgena NC6-E Water Heater from @totalcomposites. It seems like a nice little unit, and we think it is about the right size for the intended use. It takes a little while for the water to come up to temperature, but after testing it, it seems to play nice with the solar panel system in the truck. The water heater draws around 200 Watts, so as soon as the heater kicks on, the charge controller starts charging the batteries. With 600 Watts of solar panels on the roof, the battery capacity never drops below 100% while the hot water heater is running on a sunny day. Pretty slick. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

Hot water heater ready to install. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

This is a time lapse of one of our camp spots in the Yukon along the Dempster Highway between Tombstone Provincial Park and the arctic circle. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #overlandadventure #expeditionvehicle #expeditiontruck #unimog #unmogcamper

I find the Mog easy to work on. It's nice to work on a vehicle with maintenance ease designed into it. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper
