Been lurking on youtube for a while mostly watching Car and overland videos, decided to finally start uploading content on the build out of my overlanding set up, Scout Kenai on a 2019 F350 Superduty.
These campers aren't worth the asking price, the battery choice is 10 year old tech, not too crazy about it.

Hi….thanks for taking the time and making these videos! Great work! I would really like to see how you built and attached the bike rack/ladder system you have? As well as the exterior mounting that you did. I could see the backing plates on the interior…would really like to see how you did them and for what purposes? I believe I have watched all your videos???

I'd love more info on how you built the Anderson connectors to the battery. I'd like to simplify my Kenai battery terminal connections, but I'm not sure what I need to do it. Do you have any suggestions or what/where to pick up components- thanks!

Scout Camper have the worse costumer service. They advertise this as a 4 season camper and it's not. Collects so much condensation on the edges. Air filters through the door, and window on the door is not double pane and collects so much moisture in the winter. I had a 15k camper made by Travel lite that performed SO MUCH BETTER. BIG BIG BIG REGRET buying this crap for this much money. The propane heater SUCKS, the bottom part of the unit stays SUPER COLD. I am going to have to install a secondary heater to heat up the bottom part of the camper. Don't waste your money, for 1/5 or a 1/3 of the money you can do much better if you want to use it in the winter time without so many issues.
