He is a genius. With gas prices being what they are, light weight campers are in high demand, but not readily available. There are so many four-cylinder trucks, great gas mileage, but no campers for them.

What I love about the ability to close the tailgate is (1) more security (as he says), (2) the standard backup camera that's built into the truck continues to work normally, and (3) the standard towing set up is still available to be used (stronger and safer than extensions). I wish more manufacturers saw the wisdom of this!

Exactly. You could use this and pull a trailer with your sxs, dirt bikes etc.

I'm thinking about the possibilities of a split door, where the top half could still open with the tailgate up.

Like many people here, I love it... first I need to get the truck then the camper. I love the fact my wife support my dreams.

I get very humbled when I witness the intelligence and passion of the future generations. Well done to you both !

Really like the open baskets...hate hunting for stuff and it looks like theres enough room for 2 rows of baskets. Just love hand built American stuff...good job Mark. 747s are aluminum too:)

Will you be offering this in a version that can fit in the trunk of a 96 Corolla? If so, I'm interested.

As someone who has owned a Trayvax wallet for 5 years and will likely be my only wallet, this is amazingly impressive and the only truck camper I have ever wanted. Shout out from a fellow Bham resident.

As an aircraft mechanic I look at all this sheet metal and it’s such a simple design and would actually be extremely easy to fabricate. Using nothing but Cherry-Max rivets makes it even more easy. Well done man you’d make a great sheet metal mechanic on aircraft

This is what America used to produce! Quality, attention to detail, and innovation! Been watching the progression of Kimbo since the first time I heard and seen these campers. And with all the campers out their, the Kimbo by far would get my money! Just wish I had the money to buy one.....I'll be dreaming Kimbo and maybe one day I'll be able to own one for my family.👍

I saw one yesterday in the OR Cascades!

I’ve been inspired by earth roamer and many other overland expeditions vehicles but coming across this Kimbo is pure pleasure. The idea is spectacular and amazing and the best part about this design is that it can be stationary and self sufficient while you can use your truck for other stuff. Incredibly amazing design from every angle and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. WOW! and the price is on point.

"Quality with the opportunity for repair" wonderful concept many other companies should should take note of 👏 👏 👏

Great idea not to have cupboards. Opens it up very nicely. Impressed with the design and with Mark's demeanor. It's obvious he loves what he does. Thanks guys.

I used to do a lot of mountain tent camping and fly fishing in the Sierras. Now I'm in the autumn of my life. But if I wasn't, the Kimbo would replace my tent in a heartbeat.

Brilliant! I sell RV'S for a living here in the PNW...this is straight up refreshing and inspiring. In a sea of same old, and slapped together, this is what America is all about...creativity and letting the soul dream big. Nicely played my friend. I'm thinking YES..I'm in for one 🙌

This reminds me a lot of the camper I grew up with. The 60s reinvented.

We have number 48. Drove from VA to Bellingham to pick it up. Couldn't be happier. Great design and construction. Mark's mission statement reminds me alot of that from Patagonia. Get outdoors, live simple, and protect what you enjoy.

Yes! Make the trailer version of this. Small enough to pull behind a mid-size SUV (a Jeep I suppose) and rugged enough to pull off road. Edit: I think an Aluminum frame would be nice too (no rust!).

I had a storage idea that probably could work for the Kimbo, get some of those elastic Nets for the walls and ceiling to go along with the baskets.

This is one of the most beautiful campers that I have ever seen . If I could afford a Kimbo camper I would buy one . Kimbo is such a very nice person and an amazing person . He is so humbled and very down to earth . I have talked to him on Instagram a few times and he made my day just talking to him . Thank you for makeing this video . Tell Kimbo Miss . Linda said be blessed and safe and you be blessed and safe to . The Kimbo would be the perfect camper to be in , in the woods somewhere to get away from the Covid 19 . Yelp . ❤🙏❤

Beyond all of this quality, this guy is just super likeable. I'm like "Sure, I'll buy a camper from you! Wanna go camping together?" He just seems like a dude you could be super pleasant and interesting to hang out with. So smart, Low key and humble. Great video!

2003, we converted a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck to our concept of an ExpeditionVehicle. We engineered a rear entry with porch. Coming in from the porch, we like the sense of visual and visceral openness, instead of a side entry with the opposite wall immediately closing the space. Another advantage: * we use the existing structure -- maintaining three points of contact -- to enter, instead of a precarious ladder without a rail.

Love that the tailgate stays. 👍🏽

The other reason you don't want to be extended over your tailgate is that the skin of your gate might not allow you to get at your spare to winch it down. Discovered that on my 2004 Tacoma. Love this build dude.

USA made and you built it so repairs would be easier. I'm not one for truck campers but I want to keep Kimbo on my radar. Thank you Talon Sei & Mark King!

I like this guy. Down to earth & simplicity. I would say you are absolutley going above & beyond your goal, Mr. King.

Makes me want to buy 1 after following you on You Tube. I like the idea of being anywhere and easy to fix. Also if I have my own land one day, I can just park it there as a small home.

That guy just can't stop can he? Very cool stuff.

I always dismissed Kimbo as a really silly design before watching this. Great interview, and he did an excellent job explaining. The filming did help show the size well too!

I am looking forward to seeing his idea for a pull behind.

this is a work of art and opens the mind to so many possibilities. thank you both for your creations

i’m a retired Canadian paramedic living with PTSD-i live in a Toyota 4Runner because it’s a 4x4 and i’m not a van or minivan fan… i’ve been looking for a truck living space that i can stand up in-most important; feel safe to explore the wild spaces of Canada & the United States knowing my home on wheels wouldn’t fall apart in the back country-this young man is a quiet and humble innovator… once i save some $$$, i’m heading south to purchase this amazing home on wheels-thanks for the great video!

Awesome, totally unexpected, though I love and actively watch adventure vehicles, overlanding, you name it. But what a great interior design- fantastic, unique use of space/form, function and design touches. Love the wood, the structure, the stove. Love the aesthetic! Great work TRAYVAX!

Mark is just flat out inspiring! Awesome work.

Mark is one of the most well spoken people I've ever heard. Love the passion he has for the products he is pushing out.

The fact that this is made by the same guy that came up with the trayvax wallet I carry every day is enough for me to look into buying one of these.

This looks like the perfect option for me to go traveling off-road like in the desert or cross country while pulling a flatbed trailer with a UTV, ATV and more

Love the content and seeing you and Mark King together again. Keep camping and be safe.

Amazing meld of design, need, form & function!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎. Looks like I’ll have to get in line! Nice video too!

Very well done, a perfect example to follow, I like how this man think, longevity and utility , a right way to do a good product and innovative designs 👍🤩

It don't have a lot going on and that's why I like it. I think i'd go black or brown because i'd want it to be camouflaged that way if let's say have to leave in a hurry and hide-out somewhere, you could pull that into some woods somewhere and be ok for a while That or just take it on trip across the country while we still have the chance. Shoot I don't think i'd leavve the Pod unless I were running out of food and water. As long as I had my loptop because that's where all my books are or carry my hardback books with me. You could set a little television up and hook it to a good antenna so you can keep up with the fnews or watch movies if you get bored. I'm going to sit here and talk myself into seeing about investing into one

I've always loved the KISS method for most things! I really love your camper and you came up with a great plan!

Love how the tail gate can stay on your truck.

Love this idea! A mobile base camp. Better than leaving your tent for sure.

Followed this guy on Instagram and his build quality is amazing

I looked up the brochure and based on the weight I could put this in my 4 cylinder truck, which gets great gas mileage. Remember the Toyota 4-cylinder campers? This has a lot more amenities than the pop-up shells. I love it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I got some wire baskets a couple of years ago for my Promaster. Best thing ever. Stuff is at your finger tips and you can see what's in them. No more opening cabinet doors and digging thru trying to find stuff. I put "like" items in each. And you can clip and tie things to them as well (Fans, USB cables, etc.). A game changer. And I've never had anything fall out of them. I imagine in a truck camper with them not vertical things could bounce out on a rough road.

Design for longevity, inspire to action and give from passion to drive a greater love of the outdoors to humankind.

What a sick design! Amazing things I never knew existed 👏🏻👏🏻

Next level. Glad to have learned about this design, thank you. Great on my gen 1 Tundra!

Awesome... this is the design I have been looking for! Love it!!!

Let's keep this going. Is this really coming out? I'm about to do a van build, but if this becomes reality, I'm all in.

Ah shit! I can see LLOD getting one and wrapping it in Multicam! I love the creativity behind this product and the fact that it’s made in the USA!!

Definitely well-designed and thoughtful touches. He reminds me a bit of a younger and more down-to-earth Elon Musk. Looking forward to his next project!

You can feel this guy has a pure heart and soul, he is like a Elon musk a Thomas jefferson A guy with anbition and no fear of creating new things for his fellow human. God Bless his soul, i wish i could live in america and had the money to buy one of these.

Super cool! Man, these young intelligent creative men are ROCKN it!!! I was just checking out the Moonlander and then this! I dig the Kimbo!!! Nice job!

I like it! I have been spending a lot of time as of late, looking at pickup campers and this is nice....

I saw one yesterday! Very cool. This with a flatbed and boxes would be great.

Great camper! Definitely on my list of campers to check out.

Very nice. This guy is stoked about his product & he should be. I like it. Having a camper that is easily fixed & will last for years is a camper I could see myself buying.

That thing is awesome super cool to see people doing something different in stale markets. I never knew that the same guy who makes trayvax products is doing such crazy campers too.

I can see a Kimbo Teardrop style pull behind in the future. That would be nice.

Cool set up. I really really like this. His quality plus ability to repair...other companies need to pick up on this.

I really like how the lighting is done.

I just passed one of these on the side of the road in durango, co on my way to work. Caught my eye for sure

I wish future buyer able to customize the roof top where the bed is. Having those with skylight roof (with privacy closure) to allow natural light and making it livelier and more spacious. Stargazing from your bed!!

If I thought I could afford one of these things, I'd be all over it. Neat little camper

This Is So Gorgeous Pure Blessing To Find A Kimbo So Gorgeous.

My travvax products are incredible and someday my son will use them. Makes me feel good to know I buy things that will out last me and help to tell my store for years.

Great looking product with a person that really cares behind it. Seems like a great company to buy from and probably to work for/with as well. I need to get a kimbo!

I’ve owned Trayvax wallets for years. Never going back to regular wallets. Good video as always Talon. Welcome to Washington! Hope you see some great things!

Wow, incredible system. Look at that roof and side panels, way more space to attach rails for extra baggage or extrasolar panels that can fold upward if needed. For cold seasons this is the perfect modular system, pick a spot and secure your POD then use your car for mobility. Basically, you could build a complete tiny offline basecamp with extra PODs like a toilet or a Power Generator by getting them in the same car. But then again these large roof side panels are the best for that to build and attach (extend) extra PODs. I love that tiny heater, so well suited. Now we wanna know the price, right? He should mention some specs like how warm it gets while freezing outside.

I just saw one of these pulling out of a shopping center in Henderson NV 2 days ago. Impressive.

Watching from UK. Absolutely love this.

I love the safety feature aspect of it. Somebody lock your tailgate, you just gotta find em and kick em in the face XD

Super super cool. Simple and straight foward

Huge props to Mark. The Kimbo looks super rad

It's impressive how light that is compared to other brands. I think mounting solar panels on the 45 degree panels on the roof would be good, you'd only get good power from one at a time but panels are cheap now

I’d like to see this exact same concept expanded to accommodate a 5 ton military surplus truck with the cab modernization and seats with a Kimbo sized up to make a really nice expedition vehicle. This design has many possibilities ... maybe thicken the insulation....? Great idea ... practical ... structurally sound ... minimalist shell for interior custom mission design. Tactical. Semper Fi

I can parallel park my Dodge 2500 with a 10 foot camper, so having a Kimbo that was as long as a bed with tailgate down would be easy too! I would love to see it as an option.

Getting a good vibe from this dude. Solid stuff

Guess i won't need a home when I put this on the back of my cybertruck

amazing camper. great job, awesome video

Finally a fresh limbo video!! Legit want one!!

Thanks, man, what a cool camper.

Very nice concept and video. Thank you

Awesome stuff love to see it USA made,I know that makes the price higher but from what I’ve seen in different places theses things are built like tanks and for the investment it should outlive the truck it’s on!!(well maybe not a Toyota but still)

Kimbo is Kool!!! ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!

Looks great! Love to just pop one on , and hit the road!😎

As soon as he said porch. I immediately thought oh it'd be great to open the door a take a piss out of at night and sure enough he said that hahaha. One of my many gripes just regular truck shell camping.

I’ve been a fan of these for a while.

Tell this thing wouldn't look AWESOME in a Cybertruck..... I also love the way this review is like a conversation, not a sales pitch.
