It’s interesting to see a ‘year later’ vid with all the good & bad. It certainly looks good and minimalist. Not ridiculously crowded for the space. I think i’d put the coffee table hinges on the board tops. Straight away you double your work space.

This is the most inspiring and practical build I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing!

Best build that I have found! I want something similar for my 6 1/2” bed RAM 2500. Keep the sink. Make the shelf large enough for my small microwave. Make the cabinet to fit my Ecoflow Delta Max. Make the bed expansion board hinged to flip up as a backrest. Add a shelf behind the cab for my Dometic fridge/ freezer. Wish you were nearer to SW CO!

So cool, I do a lot of similar trips. This is how I’m building out my Ram. I bought the Renogy Phoenix, smaller than what he has and I’ll just charge it in the cab whit the 12v port. I’m skipping the fan and sink and adding a mr buddy heater (I’m in Montana). Otherwise this is the perfect floor plan ! Great build!

I was in my Nissan Frontier for a year, but felt unsafe sleeping because the cap window wouldn't lock securely . so I got into a small van.

Really enjoyed how this video delicately balanced something fancy and also very practical.

I travel solo and I always thought a 16" Airstream would be nice. I'm liking this more and more.

It’s an awesome way to go and WAY easier than a trailer. It is a bit minimal though but totally comfortable.

That's a great idea about the rear window. You would want to have options in a crisis, for sure.

Great job! Love your builds and love your vids.

great build!

Very fun getting the updates from the user!

Awesome build! Good to see the product after one year of use.

Great to see you again! Miss your content dude!

That’s about the perfect setup. Really like that. Great job.

This is awesome, exactly what I'm wanting to do. Thanks so much for sharing.

awesome guys , good job and nice to hear from the customer again for a recap , what works what is actually used and what isn't . good quality job ! simple is best .

Great update! You did an awesome, functional build. Love your work and creativity. Best wishes!

I love your set up

Thank you for this video. Great idea to do follow up on builds helps us all decide on what works for our own build. More please, especially on small med size trucks. I think with gas prices going higher and higher more Vehical campers are concerned with spending $100 or more on gas to go free backwoods camping, since we have to travel further to find campsites.

Great update video! Super helpful. Since you mention DIY Outback plans, it’d be awesome to see an update video of your previous epic Outback build (Asian girl doing the 6-month trip)!

I was looking at the same exact truck/Colorado Diesel, 4dr, long bed, diesel. This is exactly what I'm looking for...but I am [hopefully] getting a different truck. We'll see.

I get a lot of dust in my box camper when driving on gravel. I just discovered that if I crack the passenger side window in the camper, I get far less dust. I think it's because it equalizes the vacuum that normally builds up from wind passing overhead as I drive.

I have tried opening the side windows but found that I got more dust in doing that. The gasket kits helped a lot but is not perfect. I have read a lot of different theories on this but not really seen anything that is convincing. My thought now is that it is not bad and I am out enjoying nature so a little dust is all just part of the experience.

I know that we drive a lot of gravel roads as a kid and my dad always opened the vent in the car, then left the windows closed. That built up pressure in the car and stopped dust from getting in through all the cracks and stuff. I have been thinking of making a sort of scoop out of sheet metal that I could attach to the outside of one window. Then, when traveling on gravel I could open that window a tiny bit which would pressurize the inside of the camper. A winter project for me.

Sweetness! Wish I had a fan lol 😂

Exactly what I want to do to my Taco.

Looking at the 2022 Ford Ranger. It will be 2 inches wider and 2 inches longer than the 2021. Extended Cab with the 6 Foot Bed with this setup would be great.

I really love this build. I saw the build video. Did the wood just darken naturally or did it darken with a clear coat? Did the coat make it waterproof?

He put a few coats of poly on it and I believe that darken a bit over a year also

Quick question - Maybe I missed it in this video or in the build video, but what did you do for drainage? Is there a drain hole in the wheel well?

Very nice build, just wondering how you made it so the drawer and cabinet area are able to be moved in and out? I had a build I did based off yours here and it just tanked my gas mileage because I couldn't get it in/out without disassembling the whole thing.
