I have their 10", it's pretty firm. If I could go back I would get the 12".

[@MyIronman8]

Can you look at my comment and see the person trying to imitate you

[@MyIronman8]

Someone is trying to talk to me in the comments saying they're you and they're not you they're using your photo but it's a total different email then yours is

[@useritscarrot]

Pull the window back, walk outside and put Vaseline/silicone around the edge of the seal to keep it from sticking in freezing temps 👍

[@PrplAngl]

👍

[@pamelaklemp5615]

I, too, will try that. I have been RVing for decades and had not hear of doing that before! How did I miss that? It's beyond me but it'sa great idea! Thanks for posting this informative tip.

[@justlookin3]

Use silicone, not a petroleum which is bad for rubber. Use 3-in-One made for RV windows.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

@@justlookin3 Thanks, glad you pointed that out beforehand. I'll use the 3 in One RV mixture instead.

[@suecbrn]

Cabot - hard t at the end- not like French where you end it in "O". Definitely an East Coast brand. They make fabulous cheese! We are a fan in our house!! That Mac and Cheese is really good! Glad you had a chance to try it! Love your videos! Thanks for sharing the journeys!

[@Phoeff99]

East coast has Cabot, West a coast has Tillamook. I grew up on Cabot cheddar. Love it!

[@mtaa11]

You already got propane. Fix or replace your furnace and you will good to go. Easy fix. Get a digital thermostat too. The Mr buddy heater burns hydrocarbons which creates water and CO2. The furance does not do that. It exhausts outside. Most diesel heaters are a pain to install and are not that reliable. Obviously don't run your truck battery for your truck camper. 1 for the camper and maybe a power station for backup. I assume you will probably add solar on the roof or get some portable panels to set up in the future too.

[@remblepee931]

I like this guy and i am mcluvin watching his.vids.ive been binge watching his videos all weekend and there is still so much more to watch,am really enjoying his content.

[@Dimbochan]

The camper thermostat works on battery power and wiring which draws juice. Mr. Heater=simple never lets me down. After my RV heats up sometimes even the pilot light keeps it warm to dawn.

[@martna1]

I'm making chili with ground chuck this afternoon for freezer meals.

[@RevBTB]

Cabot - said like Cab-bot - is a Vermont based cheese company and they use milk from local New England small farmers (I had friends in teeny tiny North Chatham New Hampshire who used to sell their milk to Cabot) Never seen the boxed mac n cheese tho!

[@simonagree4070]

You can get rubber can lids in the pet food section of your super market. Very handy.

[@kristibeisecker]

Cabot is New England based! it's in all the stores here

[@huckleberrychris]

You should get a diesel heater. Temperature controlled and takes minimum electrical to turn on and off...even with a small jackery

[@alvashoemaker8536]

I’m so happy “I’ve found your vids…! I “see” this country through your vids…& am SO APPRECIATIVE…! 👍🏼👍🏼👣👠

[@markstanton2362]

Speaking of limes, come summertime when the flies are about slice a lime in half and crush some clove on top of the half lime and voila no more flies!

[@davidbaron6647]

How is the trucking riding? okay? A mattress is a MUST!! Fuel in Indiana drop to 3.14 per gal. reg. Okay 5 different outlets are saying Indiana will get hit by a BLIZZARD Xmas Eve and Day . We will see. Tomorrow will get the F150 FX4 off road Package with 285/70/16 ready just and case. And get fuel for snow blower and generator. What are your plans for Christmas and posting next weekend?

[@jobethk588]

Thanks for the views on your hike.

[@brianbouchard1947]

Epic falls, wile lighting the buddy heater, (hold down) too prime for about 20-30 seconds, then push again, to spark up ignighter. When lite, turn to desired settings. Wool blanket covering for the windows. Good episode.

[@JonnyDIY]

⚠️ Dont get rid of stove, should be able to adjust flame output if you remove the knobs on burners. Should be small adjusting screw under them 👍 And silicone paste on your weatherstripping to prevent windows freezing shut. Can also use on doors too 👍

[@JonnyDIY]

PS- looked like some damn good chili 🤤🍛💕👍

[@donnanhuggler8451]

Cabet (pronounced Ca-bet) is a town in Vermont where a very specific type of cheddar cheese is produced

[@edmundcano521]

No, pronounced Cab ot, small town in beautiful Vermont. Try seriously cheddar, it's the best, beat out the best cheddar even in Wisconsin .

[@jamesdane6189]

You can fix the Gas Buddy with a cue tip and any liquid like WD40, alcohol, vodka, etc. pull some of the cotton off the tip , wet it, and clean the inside of the pilot tube. Works great and simple to do. You could even show the process.

[@007nadineL]

Q-tip

[@FlyTyingNewEngland]

Cabot is a Dairy company in Vermont.. great cheese’s and other things! Great tour of the factory too if you ever get out to the east coast !!

[@cher4126]

And the maple syrup too

[@WoodsonRoad]

cabot cheddar is a rockstar staple here in New England

[@ArtVanDelay41]

Great video again. Please check out Caleb Stockton's channel. He is also a young guy traveling in the Rockies in a pickup camper

[@Ulist2G]

So enjoy your simple…doable recipes

[@EvanLindy]

Always love the winter vibes! Also sooooo close to 100K!! Congrats man, well deserved!

[@IC86]

Careful about that. Vaseline can attack and degrade rubber, and cause more problems. The idea of something to prevent sticking is good, just be careful what you use…

[@truckcamper_felix]

Its not the heater which produces condensation, its You and the humidity of your body and breath which condensates and last but not least the cooking water in the air. Any system which produces heat will start condensation processes, anyway if its propane or Diesel heater. The main reason and issue is the zero isolation of the glass windows and the bad sealings. And the thin styrofoam of the walls is not sufficient! Lot of optimization potential! 😉

[@lawrencek9748]

Awesome that you hooked up with Brooklyn Bedding. I'm AZ local and need a new mattress for my camper, I think I'll go with them!

[@jrf1025]

Chef Jonathan. Everytime I watch your videos you make me hungry. Open a restaurant.

[@1jackvalley580]

Beautiful scenery, and hope your new mattress works out great. You might consider putting a proper protective layer under your mattress asap. I have seen quite a few videos of other campers having moisture problems underneath their mattresses which creates major problems. Google it for information because there is certain materials you can use to help prevent it.

[@Intellect3544]

Thanks, Johnathan for making and sharing this video. The scenic of the snow is very beautiful; definitely very relaxing to see the snow and the waterfalls. Stay bless 🙏

[@SD-rv1gn]

Wow! I never thought you could make sweet potato chili!! I'm going to try that recipe.

[@MariafromthePhilippineIslands]

You walked in the clouds and you brought us along with a beautiful sceneries. Oh! That Waterfall surrounded with snow. Is this how heaven looks like. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️

[@jobethk588]

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy watching you cook.

[@jobethk588]

Magical is a great word to describe that lovely scene. My first thought was "fairyland!" I was afraid that was over the top but it seems to fit.

[@knittingnana2939]

I am a sucker for waterfalls and that one is gorgeous.

[@treasureseeker2738]

Beautiful views. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@juliemarkham4332]

Love the photography shots and the music you choose, along with your love for nature.

[@SirWilliamGoes]

You're right that your heater produces lots of moisture. It's because it's exposed flame tho. If you have a sealed or ducted propane, anything that's not exposed flame system you won't have that issue. Diesel is good too but requires another fuel container so now you're carrying 3 types of fuel. Also they often have issue in elevation. Just food for thought

[@timmymendenhall1275]

Glad yo hear the matresses are made in the USA !

[@captainhml3868]

Cabot! From my home state of Vermont!

[@edmundcano521]

Seriously Sharp, baby !!!

[@33Jenesis]

I bought some moisture absorption boxes from Amazon to deal with condensation in the car from sleeping. Some reviewers use them inside their RV. I think it’d work for your camper.

[@truthseeker2222]

yep i have them all over my camper, the hanging ones work best! Also small rv dehumidifier if you have battery for it.

[@nikip9161]

I love the snow laden trees, they stand tall and proud and quiet like soldiers protecting their ground. So beautiful in every way. 🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲 ❤️🌅❤️🌄❤️

[@rachaelchilders6379]

We live in a truck camper full time and the condensation under the mattress produced some mold. That was even with those coconut husk mats and some froli ventilation pieces.. We run now run a 12v fan under the mattress a few hours a day. Seems to help a lot!

[@rodneybooth4069]

Should get the 100K by Christmas,, we hope.

[@phaarqueue4876]

bruh that place is so fricken beautiful....its just soul warming !!!

[@michele2017promastertravel]

Condensation is a constant companion is campers when you cook in them. Opening a roof vent a crack will help a lot- I keep a roof vent cracked open all night, along with a front window. Propane heaters definitely contribute to the moisture problem but cooking and breathing are the real culprits.I recently bought a Wave 3 Radiant propane heater for my van- it doesn't work with a flame as traditional propane heater do, instead it's a chemical reaction on a mat- it does NOT put moisture in the air, it's also silent and uses no electricity. I've used it for a few nights and love it- no overheating me and the van. There are different sizes like Wave 6 and Wave 8 which means 8,000 btu's- they all have a low setting which is roughly half the btu's so my Wave 3 is 3,000btu's on high and 1600btu's on low. I have a Little Buddy and it puts out 3,800 btu's (no high and low) and lots of water and I found it's just too much heat for my 75 square feet unless it's really cold outside. Also the Wave units use about half the propane as Buddy heaters. That's why I switched to the Wave heaters. So far I'm very pleased with it, I even bought a non-electric fireplace fan for the top to keep the hot air moving towards me. Good luck on your journey.

[@claramullen]

Thanks for the snowy views.

He makes me feel I am missing out on travel, he looks so happy in the snow ❤

[@benregier]

We must have the same Bluetooth device in our Toyota trucks. Everyone who gets in my truck thinks the device is saying “Waiting for Perry” instead of “pairing” 😂

[@33Jenesis]

I even wear my Micro Spikes on icy streets! Saved me from falling many times :). I can’t believe how expensive they get now. I bought mine from Amazon 11 years ago for under $40 including tax.

[@saradutoit2644]

So glad to see you back at what you love.

[@PlayingOutsideSomewhere]

This was a good one ! 🤙🏽 we are near mt antero camping now It got down to 2 degrees truckbed camping no heater lots of hot hand packets and sleeping bags

[@SuperStar-nz5xy]

ahh yes that first sip off coffee.. Has to be yr signature move! keep the upgrade videos coming!

[@BlueSpectre]

the brisk purposeful walk of "im walking away from my camera right now, but i'm about to sprint back and get it" in camping vids cracks me up. beautiful scenery up there in the winter 👍

[@georgiaval1]

Me too, that always tickles me. He walks away, and we all know that he has to go back to get it. 😂He is so thoughtful.

[@marcusegan6758]

olive oil in Mac and cheese is savage

[@larryporter5035]

GREAT TO CYA, rarely comment but always watch and like!!

[@bisoprolol62]

You should open a window when you are cooking or boiling water or open the door to let the steam out.

[@williamlockard8191]

A small clay planter pot over a stove burner works in a small environment, ventilation is still the first focus. A small squeegee is a good investment as well, putting a absorbent towel at the bottom of the window, and then swipe the moisture into it.

[@locomotivebreth1910]

I found sliding windows a pain for winter camping in that they freeze up in the tracks and they allow rain into the camper and the screens clog up with snow. In my rig back in the 1990's I inserted a plexiglass insert into the opened slider section and cut out and bolted in a 12"x 4" luver window that never freezes up and prevents rain intrusion and clogging up by snow. I had 3 of these luvers installed -- one each on both sides of the camper and one in the door -- always providing ventilation on the downwind side of the camper. Highly recommended.

[@jewel4989]

Thanks, Johnathan for making and sharing this video. The scenery of the snow and the waterfalls is very beautiful; definitely very relaxing. It's like walking through a winter wonderland! It reminds me of the scripture in the Bible that says, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."(Isaiah 1:18) So when ever I see fresh fallen snow, it reminds me of this scripture - pure and clean.. Amazing looking chili. Ahh! yes! that first sip off coffee, so enjoyable! Thank you for taking us along this amazing journey with you.! Drive safe. Keep safe. God bless you on your next journey,😘

[@milonetzler67]

Don’t go diesel just use gas that uses the same unleaded gas from ur trucks tank. Just sips the fuel and you won’t have to buy and bring multiple fuel. I did that in y truck and it’s amazing!

[@teresap.5991]

Our Walmart carries Cabot cheese. I wouldn't say it's the world's best but it's definitely good. Some of the best cheddar cheese I've had is from Aldi and it is their aged cheddar they sell white in an 8 oz square block. Very very good cheddar. It's in with the aged cheeses not the generic everyday cheese. Olive oil is better for you anyway if it's real. California Olive ranch is a good brand and so is Aldi the extra virgin first cold press Olive oil. What a beautiful beautiful winter scene there. A picture of that would make a perfect Christmas card. On that note, have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. 🎄✝️💓‼️👍

[@edmundcano521]

No, it's the best! Beat out Wisconsin, the cheese head capital of the USA. Made in USA.

[@teresap.5991]

PS I make a butternut squash soup that you could use sweet potato for and it just has the butternut squash onion a clove of garlic and a container of chicken broth 32 oz. Or more...Simmer till all vegetables are done. I add carrot and potato to mine as well and then I use an immersion blender to blend it all up but you could use like a potato masher. Then I add some half and half or you could use cream or milk and salt and pepper and a tiny bit of nutmeg and voila you have a wonderful wintery thick, nourishing soup. You can add anything you want to change the flavor like ginger, turmeric chili powder, whatever you like.

[@godwinaustenn]

The regular propane heaters in campers do not introduce any condensation into the camper - completely dry heat as they are vented to the outside. Non vented propane heaters like the buddy do put lots of moisture into the air. Also in terms of mentioning the diesel heater - you are better off with a gasoline heater as they are cleaner burning (less maintenance) and you have the option to tie into your tundra tank !

[@jiggsjohnson7279]

Your propane furnace built into the camper will not produce moisture like the Heater Buddy because it is exhausted to the outside. I live in an RV with a propane furnace and I get zero moisture. The diesel heater idea sounds great too but if your factory furnace was working, I don't think it would produce moisture.

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

i would love to get some photos of snow...I haven't driven in snow ever tho...maybe next year, definitely cannot do it this year...thanks for sharing.

[@campbellglenn7651]

Wish i was there. Keep you warm all night!😁

[@brendajenkins3519]

Oh, yeah;Cabot is the best! Didn’t know they made made a Mac & cheese.

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

The music while cooking is awesome 👌

[@danandtab7463]

Cabot is one of my favorite brands of cheese. I buy their blocks at the store when they're BOGO, all kinds of wonderous sharpnesses of cheddar. I'm not surprised they make a good mac and cheese box. That said, the food you cook at 20:45 I am totally going to try that.

[@valeriefrench9405]

I have a beautiful van conversion Chevy express 2500 but would love a truck camper. What a magnificent place in your video. That’s a great Christmas card pic

[@barbarashirland9078]

I used microspikes to get around in Central Oregon. Forget driving. Now in southern Arizona I can enjoy the “cold.” Beautiful to see in your video. Thank you.

[@IC86]

Good winter hike and scenery. Hope you get all the kinks worked out, especially the heat.

[@williamfuller2389]

Upgraded to a 4" Brooklyn RV mattress this summer. I should have done it sooner, they're awesome. You might want to consider a Propex heater and plumb it into the camper propane system. Interior mounted so less hassle than positioning the diesel heater outside and lugging around diesel. The exhaust hose is pretty small so less of an opening to cut out. Much quieter, similar power draw. I wanted the option of using it for a rooftop tent, ground tent as well as my truck topper so I got a diesel heater. I mounted it to a tire step to keep it off the ground. I still have to lug diesel but my truck also runs on diesel so less of an inconvenience.

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

NOTE TO JONATHON... Your stove may not be the problem..... You should replace your pressure regulator as they can and do go bad.... You may also be using summer or low elevation propane which does not vaporize well in cold weather.... most stoves are not the problem..... yours actually looks quite good.....

[@davidrice6989]

Man! U nailed the best spot for snow

[@campbellglenn7651]

Hey Johnathon. Like your new mattress. Dont get too cold.

Are you going to put a diesel heater in the camper with the renovations?

[@ironwoodoverland]

Man you need a diesel heater. You can build one into a hard case for a couple hundred dollars. You could pipe it into the cab and run it on the outside. Plus you don’t need to worry about condensation!
