Only people that genuinely enjoy life get that excited about lights. It's great to see someone enjoy the seemingly small things in life, because it's those small things that truly make life better.
Wonderful family support and love all through this one. I enjoyed watching it all; from installing the door, grocery shopping, cooking, installing the lights to the reveal.
If you can add switches to the inside of the camper at the bed you can light up the campsite when you hear something messing around at night
Man - I am so tired after watching ya'll work so hard - I need a break. Good to see things are looking up!
Cody, you're so lucky to have an amazing dad and step mom. The way they support the two of you is amazing!!! Happy New Year to you all!

Cody your Awesome! Thank you for helping your Dad 💞. Time spent together getting stuff done is where it is at 💝
The perfect couple, but you need a chevy.
You both amaze me with your creativity, smarts on your health and do it yourself projects. I love how Kellie makes everything from scratch. Really touches me.
Love seeing your dad and mauva on the channel❤So much love. Happy Holidays and safe travels!
The Odens are awesome!! Isn’t it amazing that Cody and his dad have that much talent, patience and ingenuity to pretty much tackle any project! What a great relationship you have! Happy trails, guys. ‘Til we meet again!
We feel y’alls pain!!! Been “stuck” here in Montana getting a new transmission for 2 months now. Can’t WAIT to get back on the road. Congrats on the lights!! Game changer

If I was stuck somewhere for 2months I would loose everything. You are truly blessed.
Dad is awesome!! A gift that keeps on giving. Enjoy
Hello, Love your channel, my wife and I are buying our first cab over camper. Seeing your life in your camper helped us make decissions. About the 6.7L ford engine, do invest in the SPE MOTORSPORT 6.7L POWERSTROKE DISASTER PREVENTION KIT, it is approx. $400 and it will save you lots of money if the engine driven fuel pump does go out. ( The fuel pump is a weak design for the newer engines as they increased the fuel pressure and used the same earlier model fuel pump.) I also combat this by using Hot Shot's Secret Everyday Diesel Treatment, to help lube the fuel pump since they took sulfer out of our fuel. Also I found these help with the spot lights allot, OZ-USA 3" Clear Diffused Flood Lens Protective Cover for POD Cube Lights Fog dust Off Road Motorcycle 4x4 SUV ATV (1 Pair). Keep the vids coming!!! Thank you so much!!!
I use a 400/800 watt heater when on shore power in my van. Always on 400w, works great.
An electric heater is great for when you have shore power, but if the propane heater is cycling too frequently, it needs to be adjusted. RV thermostats include an "anticipator" which needs to be set correctly.
@Cody & Kellie: Have you considered installing a diesel heater in your truck camper to replace the propane heater? Im beginning to think about doing that in my travel trailer. No more condensation and no inconsistent temp regulation. In the interim, you could sub out the thermostat with a digital Honeywell for more accurate temp regulation than the thermostat you currently have. Mine has the same kind and subbing that out made a big difference in regulation.
Adjust the anticipator on the suburban thermostat to longer cycles. This will prevent short cycling and furnace will cycle less times an hour but will run longer during the heating phase. Under the cover or on back of T-stat, an adjustable dial or or straight resistor bar with #’s .2 to .25 and generally states “longer to shorter cycles. Set to longer cycles at the longest settings for winter in a camper. An electric heater is a good option to have when you have power.
Wait, so do you just have a wrench stuck down somewhere in the front your truck forever now? 🤣 Great video, I love y'all's family!!
Awesome videos! Next y'all need a front bumper guard. Your rig is beautiful. Love watching you two,Cody you Crack me up,your so funny and Kelly I can tell you try to keep Cody in line,lol.Love watching yalls journeys.Kinda reminds me of Epic Family Roadtrip.Stay safe and prayers for safe journeys. Keep those videos coming.Im still Binge watching you guys.
Great video. I love seeing your day to day stuff! Mind sharing that Dutch Baby Recipe please???? Looked fantastic !😛
We have a little portable heater for our travel van. Works great when hooked up to shore power.
theover head light mounted onthe camper facing forward is a great idea, but watch out for the cops on the road, IT NEEDS TO BE COVERED WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHT OF THE LIGHT. in ca and the other 11 western states the law is , ANY LIGHT OVER THE HEIGHT OF 52" FROM GROUND UP IS ILLEGAL!, THEY NEED TO BE COVERED DURING TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD,ALSO THE REAR ! the light you see on jeeps that place the lights on the front , below the windshield in the front are legal as long as its not higher then 52" from the ground up., if higher they to need to be covered, . lights that are not covered , that need to be covered,COULD cost around 250.00 and up depending on the states your in, each state had different cost and laws? OTHER THEN THAT LOOKS GREAT!
Happy new year! You guys are a joy to watch. I look forward to seeing your channel grow in 2024. You deserve all good things.
We never used the heater at night in our camper. We have a down comforter , that’s all we use.. Keeps us warm all night.
Way to persevere Cody! Getting those lights mounted and wired was a big job. 😰
Wow! What an improvement. My eyes are open now and see EVERYTHING! Good job on the installation of the lights. A+. I hope the problem is solved on the Ford. 👌👍🤞
Glad the trucks ok and the lights are awesome! You’re going to get some Bigfoot footage, I know it. Happy new year!
Cody your Dad "Yogi Bear" 🐻 an Mum are Truly the BEST they are so Down to Earth..🌿👍❤️👍🌿 What a Great Video alot of work to wire in lights Dad has to keep his nickname it so suits him... The Yogi Bear 🐻 😊 ❤
Good evening Cody & Kelly, Family & double ear rubs Kila ! Those lights were such a great gift & great work on the install ! Keep up the great work & keep smiling !

I commented before I saw you add the connector.
We have a small fiberglass camper and experienced the same as you with the furnace. Very disruptive to night sleeping. We also got a small space heater and love it. It's quiet and puts out amazing heat. Enjoy!
Its Beautiful Clark!
ALOHA friends so glad things are doing much better and back out there living and sharing 😊 🏝 I like the new lights ! Wonder if you can turn them on if youre in the camper as these would work great to scare off bears or thieves etc.
I am glad you have an honest mechanic; I hope the regulator fixes it!
I love watching you both. God bless you both.
You’re like me, I hate not being able to see in the dark. I put LED lights on everything I put my Dodge Dually in reverse and it looks like the sun came out😂
Good news about the cp4. Next suggestion is run a fuel lubricant to make up for the crappy diesel fuel. Enjoy your adventures
"I'll be able to see what I'm backing into." 🤣
That’s some lightning. Awesome.
I like Fords. Think I told you mine had a fuel pressure regulator recall that I had to have replaced years ago. Hope you finally got the problem fixed and no more problems. Also you have a awesome dad and mom!! Happy New Year!!
Those lights will be a game changer. I have small ones on my car for back country roads and they’re the best. Glad to see you all are doing well! Can’t wait to see the next video.
Happy New Year!! The lights on the truck look amazing!
Wishing you a GREAT 2024!!
Feel like I'm always saying the same thing, but your content is so great! I've stopped following some others because you guys are the only folks who make sense and enjoy life!
Great video, thanks 👍
It so cool to have a dad!
💙❤️💙❤️💙love the light Cody like a kid with a new toy..y’all need to take the dog with you some time he would have a great time.... Happy new.... 🎉
Eden Pure Heater is the best, and you don’t have to worry about a fire risk. We use it on our front I closed porch and our camper so we can save on our propane.
My wife and I have been mobile for years. We are in the process of buying a brand new class C motorhome.
Love this video. Thanks for showing us all of the hard work that goes into your on the road lifestyle. More than any other KZreadrs you guys really make us feel part of the journey. Happy 2024 & safe travels!
When you turn those lights on, I’m pretty sure you’ll be visible from the Space Station!😅
Check with Cris of Fast Rack Overland he has a diesel heater that mounts permanently in your camper. 12 volt and diesel is all it takes to run it
You’re going to love that little lasco heater. I have the same one and it keeps my entire 35ft rv comfortable
Get you a flex magnet n get that wrench lol 😂
Hey y'all, I have THAT heater in my shop!! That one puts out the heat!!
Pump is good! ''Whew''!!
Wow! What a fantastic Christmas gift. Those extra lights are going to be so helpful. I wonder if you will need to add another solar panel? haha. Happy New Year!
SUPER COOL!! Happy New Year y'all!! Let's get travelin' already!! 😂
What a great project!
Love those lights for you! What a wonderful Christmas present… very fitting for two people that bring alot of light to the world. Bring on the next video!❤
Wonderful family
You had to go back twice. How great can they be‽.

Kellie I have got to try your Dutch baby…yours was just beautiful and I know it had to be tasty! Cody, nice job on the lights…you and your dad are both a couple of cool cats😉
Awesome lights 👍
What a nice Christmas present. Nice family. The lights will be amazing on the road. Happy New Year!
Really hope y’all have it figured out and fixed! Love the new lights
Love this so much! Cody, I feel your excitement on all the light!! So awesome! Now I want to install these lights on my rigs lol
Did anyone else think of Clark Griswold when Cody was getting ready to turn the lights on 😅 great video happy new year and safe travels to you
That's so funny, we had an all Adam Sandler New Years at our house as well....Great minds think alike..LOL
Love that you all so excited for your new Christmas gifts! The simple things in life that will make your life easier and keep on giving! Happy new year ❤
I have never heard of anybody pulling a motor just fix a bolt that's broke off in the manifoll using they take the manifold off. Weld, a nut on the bolt an back the bolt out and put the manifold back on.
The ford does have fuel system problems. I would highly recommend finding a shop to reinforce your frame. There has been a lot of trucks with truck bed campers fold in half. Seriously. Look it up. So I would highly recommend getting your frame reinforced. I mean if I am right I save your truck if I am wrong it’s costs you a little money but Gaines peace of mind at worst. But I know I have seen newer 3/4 and 1 ton trucks with their frames snapped in half hauling a bed camper.
Can’t wait for you guys to hit 100 K this year 🎉🎉🎉❤
Great lighting job!
Hi Cordy and Kelly ya great job on the lights did you use a in line fuse for the wiring or a circuit breaker for the lights on the truck and Kelly wow that food that you made mmm good when is the next cook book so is your channel now Cordy and Kelly now or is it the dome life take care happy camping
OZARKS is bad ass awesome 🤠🙏🤟🇬🇧🇺🇲
Yall get the Wave 3- won’t disappoint! No moisture, no smell and sips propane. No flame- !
I have a similar light setup on my truck and camper and ohh buddy does it makes a world of difference. It has saved me from hitting deer many times.
I already envy you that sweet rig, now even more. Happy New!
Nice light's
Those new lights are the Shiz Naz Mac Snapple!!!!!
Yall should come to Florida for the winter. Nice down here.
Nice update, awesome video as always. Can you later add functionality to turn on some of the lights from inside the camper?❤
Do you ever think about going to Quartzsite AZ. THE Big Tent show begins soon! Safe travels!

Great guy Mat 😇
Bought the same heater a couple of days before your video. Let us know how it works out for you. The lights on the heater are distracting; I like the heat.
Good job guys!
You've changed the lift pump, FPR is a good educated guess. As do other manufacturers, Ford will have a procedure to test the mechanical pump (CP4), which I assume the shop performed with acceptable results (it's not really $10,000, anyway). Now, since this is an extremely intermittent problem, there's always a chance that it's something completely stupid such as a loose wire, which will be nearly impossible to catch in the act.
Best Christmas present Eva ! 🎉
The recipe for the pancakes you made in this video is that in your cook book

The mechanic should have told you to start using a fuel lubricant additive. This would apply to all modern diesel's in the US.

The problem with running an electric heater is ypu are pulling amps through ypur breaker box and fuse box and they will melt trust me I have pics to prove it my ex roommate lived in a brand new travel trailer on my land and used a little electric heater and it was on alot one day we smelled electrical wires melting and poof the fuse box melted and almost caught on fire ..I recently bought is travel trailer and am in the process of replacing the fuse box and breaker panel..pls keep an eye on ypur fuse panel it will get hot ..
Great job!
Happy New Years to you both.
Hey. I have the same heater,it works great!!!!
