Overview

This one-of-a-kind 2009 Chevrolet Kodiak C4500 4×4 expedition vehicle blends the legendary durability of a commercial-grade chassis with the self-sufficiency of a modern off-grid tiny home. Built as a rugged alternative to higher-priced turnkey expedition rigs, this custom camper has just 65,000 miles, a 6.6L Duramax diesel, Allison automatic transmission, a 70-gallon freshwater system, 1,300 watts of solar, and everything needed to stay off-grid comfortably and confidently. With over 500 hours of custom fabrication and extensive equipment upgrades, it's ready for international overland travel or backcountry isolation.

  • Chassis & Powertrain:  Built on a heavy-duty Chevrolet Kodiak C4500 4×4 platform, this rig is powered by a 6.6L Duramax turbodiesel paired with a bulletproof Allison automatic transmission. Tuned for reliability and equipped with EF Live monitoring, turbo vane braking, and a FAAS fuel system with lift pump and filtration, it delivers serious torque and long-haul dependability.
  • Habitat Features & Comfort:  Inside, this camper lives like a compact, high-end apartment—with a 9000 BTU mini split A/C system, 5" memory foam mattress, Corian countertops, microwave, induction cooktop, private bathroom with Nature’s Head composting toilet, and storage for bikes, gear, and more. A Maxxair fan, diesel heater, and 70-gallon freshwater tank with filtration keep things livable in any climate.
  • Exterior Build & Storage:  Finished with expedition-ready gear, including a 24" Bomar roof hatch, multiple external storage compartments, dual air compressors with a 5-gallon tank, super single Continental MPT tires, a rear bike garage, heavy-duty receiver hitch, and LED exterior lighting—this rig is as tough outside as it is inside.
  • Electrical & Plumbing Systems:  Powered by 1,300 watts of solar, 5,000w Victron batteries, a 3000w inverter, and multiple 12V and USB ports, this Kodiak supports full-time remote living. The plumbing includes a 34-gallon grey tank, 7-gallon yellow tank, hot water recirculation, and outdoor shower—all built for long-term sustainability.
