A tip to help slim down your kitchen: Go collapsible rubber. They make bowls, wash basins, cutting boards with strainer, and all kinds of other stuff that can collapse into itself and save you so much space. Collapse it and stack it, my man!

You gotta love just staying home during quarantine watching Mav!

Momo C. That's exactly what I do, I have my own garden where I grow tons of stuff

I bought a Chevy S-10 and then found a Leer camper top. 1st night it froze at -1 degrees. Could not find my truck keys. I searched every inch of the bed I was in. Then discovered the camper latch wouldn’t open. I made up my mind I would have to break the driver window. I kicked the camper window & shattered it. I busted the driver door window and still no key. Went back to the camper door and realized it wouldn’t open because it froze. If I waited another 10 minutes it would open. Found the keys stuck in the passenger door. Considered suicide. Settled on punching myself in the face

always open the tiny rear window

Slept in the back of a friends truck for about two months in the parking lot of a place I lost my job at....... He had his truck topper insulated with some spray on foam insulation and had some real thick roll in insulation on the floor with boards and carpeting on top. You could get two people in the back really easily.

I’m working hard on my goals so I can get a truck camper like this. I will have a truck camper like this soon❤️

This is my dream now after watching your channel for a couple weeks anyone relate?

I want to do the same thing as mav because I'm fresh out of high school and wanting to get a job then find a truck and a truck cap and go on the road and I have my dog to

Mav, I've been following you for a while now and you inspired me to build out my truck for camping! Thank you! Hope you see this comment brother!

I listened to everything you talked about on truck camping so I would better understand what you did and planned to do in the future. It was very interesting and helpful. The more I watch the more I enjoy your program. I'm always looking forward to your next posting. Thank you Mav.

Finally I’m here for mav! Best KZread channel. I love the outdoors and fishing. It’s so relaxing watching him.

these genuinely make my days better man. you and Field Days, both you are the best man.

Great job. I'm done same I'm 64 yrs old when from a pop up slide in truck back to camper topper. René Clewiston florida ☕😎

Dude Mav I just started watching you and I don’t think I’ve ever fallen asleep so relaxed

Been wanting to take my wife out on an overnight, we’ve done regular camping with friends, but as using my truck as a home base of operations is something I look forward to doing. Your channel has lead to many thoughts. Would love a cross country trip to places like Moab to see the scenery. Those two videos were amazing. Eye opening. Love your channel.

Digging the set up. Love the extra battery pack. Just put one on the cargo basket of my H3, now I'm inspired to wire it up like yours. I'm always worried about needing a jump while I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Chevy avalanche works pretty well. Drop the back seats and open the bed to the cab. The panels over the bed work great. I put a memory foam pad down with a heated blanket and slept in 10 degrees wonderfully.

Great stuff mate 👍 One way to modify and make a bit of extra head space - throw the fridge on the back seat ( keeps it cooler and better insulated in the cabin of our ute anyway ) and then you can double stack the drawers on top of each other or ditch one draw and minimise what you’re packing....then you can drop the bed down level with the tub floor which gives you more headspace so you can sit up in there in wet weather etc 😉👍 Great video and keep it up mate, all the way from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Starting my truck camping life Thursday. Thanks for all the tips!!

One of the best channels on youtube, its wholesome and super fun to watch

Been on the northern Ontario road a few months with my old F150. Constant work in process gettin the close to perfect setup, lotta downsizing to do still. Pumped to get your review on it! Thanks for your vids boss

You got a great deal on your camper top. You need to put a rubber gasket between the tailgate and the bed where it closes, it keeps the dust out. Try looking at the garage door rubber gaskets at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. Even cutting a bike tire inner tube and trying it would be better than nothing at all. Just a thought. Good luck.

Never noticed Mav has a breakdown 22 ruger in the drawer of his camper bed.

"Can of soup I don't want to open right now" Hmm I'm going to use that expression Mav, thanks!

I’ve been watching you all quarantine I definitely would love to do something like this!

Mav im going to remember this for when i get a truck. Thanks for making these videos keep of the good work and stay safe.

I' m a big fan! Mav is quite a smart young man. Very well-spoken too.

Mav I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and I've been watching a ton of your videos. Very informative and awesome vids. I'm definitely looking to build a drawer setup in my Toyota Tacoma.

I would do a vertical drawer setup on one side of the bed. More headroom and I think you would gain in storage space overall. Little less elbow room is all.

Great job mav I slept in my mazda 3 yesterday and went walleye fishing at night.

I really love this channel man, it's just so relaxing to have a drink and watch a mav video

Got inspired by this channel. I remember watching this video when it came out and having so many plans. Since then I bought a truck. Put a sweet midrise topper on it and did the same deck with 2 drawers. I plan on doing a second dual batter too but luckily my second battery will fit under my hood, so I don’t have to have it in there with me.

Wow. First video I've seen on your channel. This is so cool. Reminds me of stories I heard growing up about what people did in the 60's.

I've done the same this summer with my old Mercedes Jeep - flatten the back out, bunch of rubber mats, coleman blow up bed, fridge, solar panel bungeed to the roof bars plumbed into the vehicle battery to save money. Had 2 weekends away and slept like a baby both times and the truck started on the button both weekends!! These american pickups have much more space in the bed. I like the idea of importing one!

starting my car camping adventures in less than a month. you’re my biggest inspiration and awesome guide

Found this and it was so relaxing, awesome adventure without having to leave home! Thank you for sharing, definitely will follow your travels!

I rock the mid rise camper shell, totally worth it man cool video keep on trucking!

not sure if you ever did the rear window pass through but a buddy of mine did it by inflating a bicycle intertube between the cab and the shell around the window and made a super easy/cheap air-tight connection.

These videos are so fun to watch during quarantine. Keep up the good work bro.❤💪🔥

You have great presentation and philosophy. I got an 03 Ford explorer sport 2 door I want to travel/ camp in this winter. I enjoy your ideas.

Hi Mav. I enjoy your videos. One nice thing is they are family friendly. Keep up the good work!!

Where your little window passes thru from the cab to your sleeping area, you can slide a bicycle tire innertube down btwn the back glass of the truck and the camper shell. Then inflate the innertube and it will create a water tight seal. Then you wouldnt have to worry about water and you could buy a dryer vent hose and run from your vent up front to the back to help warm up the bed of the truck.

My experiences have taught me a 6.5 dt bed is a must. Just upgraded to a Titan 6.5 foot from the frontier. Cannot wait to rig it up with the mx cap for extra headroom and a full bed platform for the wife and kiddo.

I like the idea of you taking the windows behind the backseat away and be able to either climb or take stuff out from the backseat and or use the backseat for chilling Netflix, eating or whatever if it rains outside. Like SledOrFish said maybe getting an awning for your truck sitting outside with chairs and table and maybe also getting a roof cargo box for additional storing

I dont have such truck, i dont have any camping gear, but i am definitely inspired to do this camping. One day I will post my camping video. Thanks Mav

Went truck camping with a truck tent worked fine needed more padding. After seeing this I need to get a hard top. Thanks for the tips.

I'm a 50 something year old woman and you make me want to do this!

I know u said u dont wanna spend money but the eztopper looks like an amazing invention. Thinking of buying that for my truck to do an over landing setup.

hello, i am old and i am just getting into this- my topper is on order from ARE-- they have an HD model where you can put a truck tent on top of the topper-- i am glad that i knew, when ordering mine to have it carpeted--- thanks for the overview--

I'm looking into car camping myself here soon and hopefully in the near future and I've been working on my car lately to create something for car camping. I have a small car. I like your videos and been getting some ideas as well as from other people's videos too. I'm hoping to do some videos, videos on car camping, and how to fix your small car up for car camping too. Im into camping, fishing, rafting, swimming, and anything outdoors.

Hey Mav, thanks for sharing. This gives me a place to start. I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 4 X 4 Cummins Diesel with an 8 ft bed and fiberglass topper. I plan to do a lot of camping in Utah.

Just found your channel and I have to say, I love it and I am definitely going to try this in the future!

I used to truck camp on all my fishing trips. Staying in a motel just isn't the same and I miss the freedom of sleeping right next to the river. I tried using a tent this last fall and a canopy will be on my truck before the next trip. I've had bears come into camp before but sleeping in a tent with bears was too vulnerable feeling for me. Thankfully they were only black bears this time. Have you thought about an awning on your roof rack and a camp chair to relax in until you go to bed? I used to sit up in the back of my truck when I started out but ended up doing the camp chair thing because my back would hurt after a while sitting in the truck bed.

Did the truck camping until the truck died and rotted out. My topper was a high one so you could sit up in the back with the tailgate down. Later we got a tent that hook to the back of the topper.

As a toyota ASE tech i like seeing the wiring, im doing a similar thing in my small pickup camper but with a solar panel as well

Make sure you vet a cap with the "T" hinge on rear wimdow. So when you open it, rain doesn't get inside or down your back

I Love Your Truck Camping Videos Man! I’d Love To Get A Truck & Try It Out.

you should look into getting an awning to hang outside the truck

Hey keep up all of your good work I love your videos i just bought a truck to make a truck camper love your vids keep up everything stay safe

Reflective tint is the key for those back windows.

You’re awesome bro. Been hooked to your videos!

Hi Mav' Hope All Is Well 💖 Thx For Another Awsome Vidio.. I Absolutely Luv The Truck And Set Up It's Pritty Sweet Man...

Literally just got a cap for my truck today! More so to help me with my move to Florida...but this too!

my rig is almost like yours, same truck, ARE topper, carpeted and floor mat. also have the ARE basket on top. looking for rack for cab to install the rod holder and shower, and also wanting the stainless tailgate cover for cooking and prep. the next thing im looking to do real soon is the slide in drawers.

Love bingwatching this helps to escape from a busy hectic life

I actually used 1" PVC and a tarp. Used it for a few days in some bad weather. Worked out pretty well. Just put the uprights in the 4 corners of the truck bed then 45 then towards the center like an A frame. Simple and cheap

alw feels nice to come back here and see how it all started!

I did car camping, with tents, with visiting teacher from Spain, all over the Southwest Desert area. First time, I never knew about it!

Great how you give several ways to do things, this covers us all. Thanks!

I hope Mav knows that his videos are the best

I enjoy watching. I have a 02 Denali Yukon XL that I want to convert into a small camper. I have seen some pretty trick setups.

You should check out those refillable propane canisters. You can fill a big tank for cheap at a propane supplier and then refill your smaller cans. You need an adapter i believe

2 best things combined Nature. Motorhome. Boom your set.

11:09 he missed trying to grab it 😂

Growing up in the 1970's we had a pickup with an aluminum shell. My dad built 3 benches to create sleeping space. 2 long ones down the sides creating a bed each for my mom and dad. Then a shorter insert connecting the 2 for me to sleep short way near the cab. I can't give you the dimensions as trucks are shorter and narrower now. There was enough space to put your feet down. Each bench unit had a hinged 3/4 or 1 inch platform that could be lifted to access storage underneath the beds. My mom sowed covers for the mattress top. It worked well.

Nice

The drawers are awesome, wish i would have done the drawers in my H3.

Truck and cap definitely works good, but an actual van is where it's at in terms of space, and actual living. I personally use both... Truck for work and random weekend outings and the van for full time living and long outings. And yes, knowing how to build is rather essential if you want to be functional and comfortable. Helps to understand vehicles too, not really fun being stranded with mechanical issues out on the road :)) especially once your whole livelihood relies heavily on the wheels to keep spinning.

Had an 87 F150 in the 90s Cut down a 4 drawer dresser in front. 8 ft. bed was common back then. Good memories.

The most important thing I have seen so far is the "squawking light-up ducky"! LOL! I have one and keep it in my ice fishing jacket. More for entertainment value than anything else, but it will charge up a "glow-in-dark" fishing lure. :)

Lots of good info. Very good video

Man I really hope that I can be like you one day it seems really fun to camp like that!
