This incredible truck camper was built to fit into the lives of Becca & Jason perfectly & it couldn't be any cooler! Adventure loving Jason lived in his Jeep when he met Becca, who decided she wanted to give life on the road a chance, but felt like they needed a bit more space. Enter their awesome truck camper, "Yld."
Yld features a functional kitchen with a deep sink, a sliding pantry & closet, a hidden indoor shower, a California King sized bed, & an ingenious electrical system. On the roof of their camper is a wapping 2,200 watts of solar panels built using a layered, slide out, electrical system. From their epic use of space, to their massive battery system, this truck camper has it all.

    Great setup with all the automation, however, most of us would want a bit more space. I always wanted to build a cabover box truck but we ended up towing a 20' camper which is great to unhook and make day trips or even tent camp if we choose. The truck has a hotspot in the computer set up so we can watch and control things from the truck.

As I’d say that’s simpler when driving?

    Hi I like your camper.i am sure it's hard living in a small space and sometimes privacy is needed. I wish the best . One comment is the air draft in the front given the top is not meeting the truck top, have you thought about adding wind deflectors or maybe a slide out storage compartment to fill the gap ,I bet it would increase gas mileage. Safe travels

    Finally, people that understand that every extra pound of weight is a detriment. Extra weight leads to worse gas mileage, faster tire wear, more wear and tear on the engine which ends up costing more money. Good job guys. Fisher & Paykel offers a single drawer dishwasher that only uses 6.85 liters of water per cycle, Bosch's German website has several countertop, single drawer, or slim dishwashers that again use less than 8 liters for a full cycle, it is impossible to hand wash a full load of dishes with such little water and your dishes are truly sanitized.

    Thanks for watching Brian! We do have jacks for the camper actually, we just remove them when we hit the road from our home base in Wisconsin.

A flatbed truck camper was something we strongly considered before starting this build so definitely pros to going that route as well 👍
