4 Month Winter in my DIY Truck Camper

[@RWmoose]

Stoked to see a new video dude! Can't wait to get my truck camper deep in the snow for the first time this year! Keep living the dream yaaaaaah

[@HondroB]

Thanks for watching! I hope you get the rig nice and snowy that’s rad!! Have a blast out there!

[@dillondarr4581]

Do they let you stay in the Revelstoke parking lot for free and where was the hot spring at in the short clip if you don’t mind sharing

[@HondroB]

@@dillondarr4581 They have an overnight lot where you are allowed to stay for 1 night, there is also a rest area in town you can camp at. The hotsprngs are a bit of local knowledge but if you look up nakusp hotsrings you'll find them. Happy camping!

Hey, I really enjoyed watching your build and recap. I was wondering about finishing with the corrugated sheet and the weight of 2x4s, and whew yes airbags please. Also, I learned what a Pine Martin was today, that little $^&**$@#, that sucked. But your build, hanging with your dad, gf's curtains, and the footage... WOW, great skiing and shots. I had to catch myself with my jaw dropped at all the joy. I hope it lasts you a long long time, and all the comments about "when," your dad is gone?? I'm pretty sure he's still right there! Safe travels!

[@jonmcfarland3832]

super crazy about your break in!!!

[@HondroB]

it definitely wasn't ideal, but that's life sometimes!

[@stevethegeek5759]

How much harder on gas is your truck when you’ve got that bad boy on?

[@asalvano]

Just found your channel, why did you quit uploading? Do you still have your camper?

[@HondroB]

Yeah I still have my camper! I got busy with work & life :( I’m getting back into editing now so really excited to start posting more soon!

[@devenwilliams4399]

Hey bro. I msgd you before as I'm building a camper and been taking a lot of inspiration from your build. I'm working on electrical now. Curious what size batter you went with (amp hours) and does it and your dc charger suit all your needs. Thanks bud thanks for all the videos!!! Keep on keeping on

[@HondroB]

Hey man, that's incredible I hope you're having fun with the build! Glad I could help with some inspo.Absolutely I went with a 240 amp hour agm battery (I did agm mostly to save money, but they do handle the cold better as well) I put a 40 amp dc-to-dc charger which almost always keeps my battery topped up, I only went with 40 amps because it's a newer truck that can handle that, but for most vehicles i'd only recommend 20 amps which will charge it slower. I basically only run really low draw lights, and charger my phone, so It's all i really need, however i am considering getting an electric cooler, and for that i will probably add solar as additional charging, hope that helps.. hit me with any questions any time! (also i do have an electrical video not sure if you have seen it yet)

[@xterra4hire]

Wish you still made videos everyone is epic to me

[@HondroB]

You don't know what this means to me! I've been trying so hard to make videos again but it's really hard when you also need to pay the bills :( and have a full-time job etc but no excuses! I have a game plan to begin uploading again! Thank you for your motivation! I have something in store coming!

[@xterra4hire]

@@HondroB glad to hear it good luck

[@user-br2mn4ie5b]

What kind of gas mileage are you getting? I essentially have the same truck but long bed and on 35s. Already have realllyyy low mpg so not to sure if it’s worth making something similar.

[@docimma]

Do you have plans/rough sketches?

[@alextop1850]

Update vid

[@soulsearchmedia]

Do you think another animal would get in with the fixes? I wouldn't have seen this coming either. What would be the trick to make sure nothing gets in? In summer would you be worried about larger animals, like bears?

[@HondroB]

Hey I just realized I didn’t mention this in the video, but there is a product that is very similar to steel wool I got it at Canadian tire and I stuffed it in any cracks or holes such as the space between the wood and propane lines. Now when an animal tries to get in by chewing, their gums get poked by the steel wool and they don’t go for it. I’m not too worried about bears unless I had really smelly food around like fish or chicken… but at the end of the day if a bear really wants in there isn’t too much you can do (I always have bear spray though!) Happy camping!

[@livingasimplelife6186]

would like to build a camper how long is your truck bed and up to how many pounds can your truck hold in the bed camper weight

[@stevejeffrey11]

pooping in a bucket at 4 am after taco bell hells yeah~

[@HondroB]

Hahah I prefer outside whatever works 😂

[@stevenh4970]

@hondro do you know how much your camper weighs yet? And any other suspension mods other than airbags?

[@jimmyogreenwood4630]

What’s your set up for filming back country?

[@dalejerkins5235]

How much does the camper weight

[@jboogie4701]

propane on the back of the truck? Arent you scared if someone hits or swipes your truck and the potential explosion...

[@HondroB]

Propane tanks are designed to be very explosive resistant… it is outside because propane is known to leak/release gas if pressure builds up, so having it outside helps with that

[@garcdonald]

Leaks are the worst.

[@HondroB]

Straight up. They are hard problems to solve and can be a major headache
