I'm up to the pricing thing. Yep, lots of money, and yes, it can be done cheaper. However, if you want a good quality, robust, and comfortable setup that you could live in 24/7, and could go to just about any vehicle accessible place in the country, then the entire cost, including the vehicle, is a wise investment. If I had the money, I'd be spending big too.

I used to live in a 60 series Toyota Landcruiser wagon. It was an '83 model, completely stock in the drivetrain. 2H diesel, 5-speed manual. 60mph was it's top speed. On the flat. She was old and tired but would go just about anywhere I wanted to go. Loved that wagon. I'm currently refurbishing a hi-lift Ford Courier 2x4. It's got the Ford SOHC V6 4.0l. It's a crew cab with an 1800 mm (6' x 6') aluminium dropside tray. I'm fixing the back up to hold my genset, welder, tools etc, plus a 100 litre water tank, small hot water tank, stove etc. I'm building an elevating platform that will sit low over all the tools etc and can be raised to roof height. That will be my bed (yes, it will be covered). Eventually, I'll have racks over the body to hold a solar panel setup. Then I'll be living in it and tripping around the country permanently.
