I agree. It’s more relatable.

There’s just something so aesthetically pleasing about “older” pickups. I’m a dodge guy, but any older truck, Chevy, Ford, Toyota, etc. idk if it’s just me, but they all look better then the new ones. Even a little beat up.

Love how fast this guy moves! Free truck to topper to grocery store to camping! Love the positive, grateful, upbeat attitude! Great video!

Mav, please store that camper inside. It is a gem and needs the care it has received through its lifetime. It's in great shape. Furnace & stovetop work, wow, nice buy kiddo! 👍

This video felt like a classic Mav camping video.. Also I like how you got all this done in a day. Cleaned out car.drove in a storm. went to the Facebook market place seller house. Put camper into car. went to the store then found a camping spot. Cooked all in one day. I can do about 2 things a day.. Lol

I like how Mav goes shopping for his food first and being able to see that. I just realized he's walking around the store with his mouth cam probably to film that for us. 😂 Thanks Mav❤

I agree, it's great to see the behind-the-scenes of his camping trip and how he prepares for it. By the way, if you're looking for reliable outdoor gear and backup power solutions, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's perfect for camping and ensures uninterrupted power supply in case of emergencies. Happy adventuring!

It's all the stuff he touched after handling the raw meat that eeks me out. 😱

I hope Mav checked the oil, I can hear those lifters tapping from here. 😄

Check the thermostat on that truck. If it’s blowing air but it’s not warm, it might be the thermostat. Also if the truck is running kinda cold, that’s a sign of a bad thermostat. Not hard to change on that truck

If you find that the furnace isn’t keeping up with the heat loss of the canvas you could make (or have a seamstress make) a thermal cover for the canvas that snaps or Velcro’s on. Four wheel camper makes one for their slide in campers that is insulated and quilted, but something as simple as sewing some wool blankets together can help hold more heat in

I have wanted to tell you for a long time how much I appreciate that you are such an awesome example of someone who can rock the camping world with no booze, smokes, nor profanity! Call me old fashioned, but those things are just so distracting and unnecessary to entertain! Thanks Mav, you’re a stand up guy!

Hey mate, a good tip for old cars/trucks like that, my father taught me when the heater is busted, is to turn on the Air Conditioner on hot setting. Works like a charm if the AC works in the old girl 😊

Maverick, your content just gets better and better. I hope you know what an inspiration you are to young kids, teens and adults. You are such a roll model to follow. You take camping to an all new level. Even this Grandma can’t wait for your videos. Blessings and safe travels.

What a find Mav! My favorite so far. Bless the people that took such good care of her! Brings back good memories of when I was younger. What an awesome set up. Have fun kiddo!♥️. Jenn and Cal 🐶

Maaaaan I’m jealous of that camper. That thing is fire! But it also gives me some insight as to finding a nice camper doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. 1500 for that thing is a banging deal! I’m going to have to keep my eyes open.

I bought a jayco songbird slide in camper for $800 several years ago and it was mint. Good deals are out there. Mine has solid side walls. Even every pop up camper was closing the campers for a thunderstorm I was chilling

That rig is sick!! You definitely gotta restore that truck n use that camper way more! I think it’s a gem absolutely love it!

Sandy is looking ready for new adventures! I love the retro camper, it looks great on her. 😊

Enjoy your show.. when I wintercamp I always use a dense Winter pad . I've done the boundary Waters at-20 no heat. That dance foam pad keeps you insulated. Thank you for your wonderful experiences

Sweet camper. Reminds me a bit of the Northstar camper my grandparents had that they'd put on their '87 F-250.

Mav, I owned a 1968 Bethany Chief pop up camper, pull behind not slide-in. Loved using it for years. my Brother in law has it now. Good vid.

That camper is in awesome shape! I'm betting the canvas part has been replaced. But, it has definitely been in a garage and someone really cared about their stuff. And, from experience, most of us know those old trucks and cars keep on moving! I had a 1988 Buick LeSabre. Made it through 2 So Dakota winters. Before that, it ran with the timing chain in the pan. NOT kidding. Have fun!

Hey Mav I hope you see this I wanted to say your videos are amazing a your channel has grown so much. I love how you motivate people to do what you do by showing you don't need the best things to camp like you. So I have a good idea for you to try next time you are thinking about buying a new build car you should do it with a normal sedan to show people how you don't even need a truck to explore. I have seen lots of people live out of a sedan an I know you could do it easy.

I lived in Nebraska for years I know the feeling of that wind and telephones falling over and pop up snow showers and storms

My friends parents had one that was parked in a shed. We used to spend the weekend inside of it and it was outside of the house so we could screw around and play board games and such and not disturb anyone else. They had a porto potty outside too. Many games of Risk were played in there.

Very nice camper. Great find. That truck is so great. Love the jacket. Thx

Saw you at Old Chicago tonight man. Was going to say hi but didn't want to bother you while you're having dinner. I was starstruck though! Cool to see a celebrity in person. Keep it up Mav, makes us hometown MN people proud. ✌

That camper was an awesome find. It's in great shape, & it looks like a good fit on that truck. Lots of adventures ahead in this rig!

Wow that is so freaking awesome! That’s legit like a tiny house on wheels or a mini apartment with the sides out. Love the different camping vehicles you have & the cool mods you do to them. Keep ‘em comin & just keep on truckin ❤ blessings and love to all

My aunt and uncle who had 8 kids had a camper like that, plus a pop up trailer they pulled with their station wagon. Not seen one like that in decades. Very cool.

Luv the old pop-up tent camper, reminds me of my childhood my dad had a tent trailer hitched camper our family had many camping trips with

I look forward to these videos every Sunday now. I wish I could do some winter camping.

For your heat situation on that year of Ford truck you have to use the selector switch on the right and select what vents you want it to come on or the blower motor will not come on in the video it is in the off position sounds like later in the video you had it going a bit sounds like the blower motor is going out fairly easy to replace

OG MN subscriber here and look forward to your content every week! My apologies if you’ve done this before, but It would be really interesting to see you rate each night of camping in each of your vehicles. Similar to what you used to do with your dinners 😊 This could include quality of sleep, ease of making dinner, your overall comfort, etc.. love what your doing, Mav and keep the relief of the Sunday scaries going 👍🏼 (even though we’d love to see more)

For a total of $1500, that a pretty sweet setup! I always wanted one of those old Fords just because they look great, never crossed my mind about making it a camping rig, great stuff!

Mav, "Hey, I've got an outdoor gear line of clothing, you guys should check it out!" **Columbia has entered the chat**

I wish i could go camping everyday and explore new places :( have fun for me :)

I think your Bethany is from the 70's. We have a '68 Chief model (tow behind) pop-up. They were coral in color in the earlier years and the canvas secured to the body with snaps. It appears yours uses velcro, which I don't believe was around until later. Great campers in their Era. Definitely made to last.

So wholesome and satisfying. As always … great content Mav! These getaways are a nice reminder for us to enjoy each step of what ever is we’re doing.

I swear our camper had the same material on our couches. ❤

Oh how I love those vent windows in the cab. If they would start putting them in new cars now, I'd buy one.

I know you said you were going to get the suspension done but you also need to get the engine done because you can hear the piston in the engine knocking pretty loud😊

What if you tried to insulate the canvas with some kind of light weight insulation padding on the inside. Maybe you could Rivet some snaps along the borders and the canvas, and then find some kind of insulated barrier that you could snap onto that during the winter time. Just a thought. You might make winter camping more accessible to the masses if you can come up with some kind of insulated interior gadget or kit. Very cool video though Mav. You’re quite brave to just buy a pop up camper and sleep in it the same night.

Might have to open the blend door for the heater manually from under the hood for heat to blow through, usually on passenger side firewall.

I absolutely love the camper and the truck. Brings back memories for me!!!❤

Mav, awesome camper, probably my favorite! Like someone else said, keep it inside to preserve it, it’s a great piece of history and ingenuity.

Very cool! I have a similar one from the early eighties that folds out on both sides and pops up in the middle. Mine is a topper that bolts to the bed, and more work to setup. A couple guys were selling them at our state fair back then. I traded a lady my truck cap for it. 😊

I am really digging the Sandymobile! With a bit of restorationthe Sandymobile will be even more cool.

The camper is sweet Mav!

Nice setup. Thought I'd give a tip. You can save on gas if you buy a gallon paint tray and attach it to the handle of your Lil buddy to warm up fluids. Happy camping. Keep on truckin Mav!

Your attitude is great. You have so much patience.

Awesome slide in. Great find, Mav👍🤩 and it matches Sandy rather nicely, I think😊

This is my fav one you have yet...that's sick.

That's the coolest slide-in truck camper I've ever seen. I like how it pops up and the sides fold out for more room.

Mav. You are so awesome please thank your wonderful 👍 Mother and Father for bringing such an awesome boy 🎉 Maverick into this wonderful world 💕💕💕💕

Mav for Sandy's heating issue maybe start with a new thermostat it could be stuck open causing the no heat issue. Good luck and that camper is in awesome shape for the age of it. The previous owner/owners really took care of it.

You'd LOVE to go camping here in Norway 🫶🏼

I just stumbled upon your video. Well done young man. At 65, I can appreciate just what a great setup you have. Very nice topper and I have never seen one like it before. Great maiden voyage! Stay safe, God bless and have a great Christmas!

Wow ...that is the coolest camper! And everything works! You scored, and only $1,500. Wow..what a steal! And I love the retro vibes 😀

This is awesome, Mav! I adore Sandy and her pop-up camper!! Limitless things you can do with this truck! Happy Early Birthday, Mav!!🥳 🎉 I believe you are Dec.16th! I am Dec 15th! Here is to a great Birthday weekend ahead. Enjoy!!!! 😊❤🎄🥳

If you run30 synthetic blend, it might help quiet the engine. I’m a believer in it, run 40 in the summer 30 in the winter. You get the thickness of the oil and protection of the metals with the synthetic. I have a 92 Explorer, feels like I have more compression too. I have 200198 miles original engine….she is running strong. She was my daily driver to work. The lifters aren’t tapping as much too. I use Valvoline. Change it every 4500.

That Bethany camper is in supreme condition. You had to have picked it from an elderly fellow that had it garage kept. What an awesome find. 👍💯

Thank god you had a heater for the camper 😅so cool btw hope you enjoyed yourself!

Man you found the perfect topper looks really sick! Knew she was going to be in good hands! Thank you for giving her a second life brother!

That camper is AMAZING. If you want to make it better for winter, invest in canvas or tarps to go over all of it and give you that extra layer of insulation / protection.

I'm cold just watching this lol. This is an incredibly sweet setup, it reminds me how fun the bug is/was. You should take this to that one parking garage just to have the security roll up. lol

Outstanding score on that camper Mav!!!
