I really enjoyed your video and your explanation of having a minimalist approach while being as safe as you can… I also have a 2.7L 4 cylinder 5 speed manual transmission for the simple reason of having the most payload capacity I can get… and it gets me where I need to go! Anyways great job on the video!!

@HeyJonMoore

Thanks man! Yeah hindsight 20/20 I would've gone for the manual transmission too. Not only for the payload benefits but I've noticed that with a full load the automatic spends more time than necessary in those higher rpms before shifting.

Nice setup. I’ve watched a few of your videos and you have a ease and knack for this. In this video you talked about the water jug and USB faucet. I was seriously considering a Dometic jug and faucet, but after watching what you used and why, I just bought the Van Life combo (they even had it on sale today!). I used your link in the description and I hope you do get something for the referral. You just saved me $150 that I can use for other Camping/Overlanding gear. What you said resonated with me.

Interested to hear your opinion/experience on how much dust you deal with if any, considering when you travel on true backroads/dusty trails. A lot of topper campers seems to require a lot of prep work to seal up bed area to prevent dust intrusion. Hoping to hear from ya, thanks

@HeyJonMoore

2 ай бұрын

Hey Bud! Great question. Dust has not been a big problem for me. I sealed up the bed with weather stripping around the perimeter of the tailgate and the bed rug fills in any additional gaps. I'm sure a little dust still gets in but it hasn't been noticeable. Now water is a different story. The factory Tacoma bed rail has a 1/4” gap on driver and passenger side in the section behind the cab. Dispite my best efforts I still have a small leak in both of those front corners. Nothing substantial, but I definitely wish I had sealed it better before the camper install. I had to watch it closely through our PNW winter.

@Western-Wild

@@HeyJonMoore have noticed a similar issue with the corners leaking on our Tundra under the camper. Need to find a solution for that one.

Yessirrrr!

Do you have a video/more info on what you used to seal around the inside connection of the canvas to the frame?

Hi there, I don’t actually. The camper was built by @OVRLNDCampers out in Flagstaff, AZ. They might be able to help you out with that. I just built out the interior

Nice setup. I did the same thing building a flat platform in the xtra cab for the dog to ride on as well as basic underneath storage. Ever think of dropping in a rear locker just incase you get stuck somewhere? I drive mostly in 2wd (like most everyone)n but have had to 4 wheel myself out of some loose/off-camber situations. New sub. Good video!

Hey thanks man! I have definitely thought about an air locker, it would definitely give me a little more confidence to explore new roads. BUT.. $3k is steep and I'm kinda holding out. I think I’ll upgrade to a 4WD within a few years.

Thanks for the videos! I plan to do a build series once I pick mine up in August. Stoked!! Couple questions... How do you like the cab facing window? Do you like the choice, or would you do a sliding window next time? How thick is your mattress? Can you close the top with sleeping back and pillow up there? Thanks in advance!

@HeyJonMoore

2 ай бұрын

That’s awesome! Stoked to see it. I honestly keep it covered with reflectix most of the time but I do think it's convenient if I need to see if I forgot something in the cab. My tacoma back glass is fixed so I don't have any reason to get the slider on the camper. My mattress is a 3” topper from Amazon. I linked it in the description if you want to see the specific version. I keep the mattress up top but not my pillow or sleeping bag. Those stay down in the living space while I'm traveling. Of course! Thanks for the comment. Let me know if you think of any other questions! 🤙

The weight on the rear will give you great traction.

Nice video. The pace, speaking clarity, knowledge of what you're talking about was excellent. Question on your total payload being substantially under GVWR. Do you think it was necessary to add to the suspension?

@HeyJonMoore

Thanks man!! Good question - I would recommend at least doing the springs. Tacoma leafs are notoriously light duty for a full time load. Mine were completely inverted by the time I swapped them. Hope that helps!

That pump is really cool. However, I tried to buy it through the link, and that captcha thing just kept asking me to verify I'm not a robot. Couldn't buy it because it wouldn't confirm.😢 Now they have all my info. Bah!

What keeps your countertop from rotating upwards or downwards, other than friction of the backside against the wall? If the backside were to slide upwards for any reason, wouldn't it flatten against the wall and dump your coffee? I love the simplicity of it regardless.
