Reed Gerdes tried RVs, Sprinter vans, and schoolies — and wasn’t satisfied with any of them. So he converted a Hummer H1 into a luxurious campervan that can go anywhere.
A Colorado man has converted and upgraded the original Hummer design into a burly overlander. In a YouTube walkaround, Reed Gerdes says he named his creation “The Patton” after his father’s favorite U.S. Army general.
Shortly, the concept took off into an available build from his company, Wolf Rigs.
The vehicle combines two of Gerdes’, and most overlanders’, most important goals: he wanted the ability to take the vehicle anywhere while still having all the comforts of a luxury conversion.
He took the original Hummer, with its military-grade design, and made several updates. They include a brand-new Humvee drivetrain, a lightweight aluminum camper frame and shell, and 16-inch ground clearance.
“What I’ve done is build something [capable] that has some comfort to it,” Gerdes said. “There’s nothing on the market like it … It’s like a go-kart for adults.”
