If you have ever wanted to go on an adventure, but lacked the funds to do so, pay attention to Redditor tylerthompson21 and his DIY adventure mobile. Sure, you’ll need a truck, some wood, and other building materials, but following his lead will save you serious money. Why spend years saving up for a camper if you can build your own right now? It looks like it takes quite a bit of craftsmanship to complete, but perhaps a solo journey isn’t the best idea for someone who can’t build an adventure mobile. Take a look at how it’s done.

So far, so good.

What a great idea! I wonder where his first stop will be. Wherever tylerthompson21 decides to go, I hope he’s prepared to explain this again to his fellow campers. People are going to want to know about his creation.
