Corporate product shill

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

You can't argue with the product quality. We had a roll over 2 years ago in our County. A one ton hauling a Arctic Fox 990. The camper remained securely mounted to the truck thanks to the Torklift frame mounts and fast guns. Am I pushing product? Absolutely if it's saving life's. The gas leak detector could also save lives, at less then 15 bucks it is a valuable tool in any tool box. Lastly You can't argue that a back up camera isn't important on a truck camper. I know first hand its hard to see, or hear emergency vehicles when they are tail gating. I don't want my channel to feel like you are watching QVC, but i thought these were good products. I don't make a dime if someone uses the links provided. I'm no cooperate stooge, im just a guy who has wasted good money buying cheep alternatives that don't work. Hopefully I can help others avoid that mistake. Thanks for watching Jim.

[@theathjr]

Jim you hopefully have learned by now that KZbin is a business. Free swag to try out and making a video telling us what they think about the item is basically a free consumer reports review. Food for thought.

I just bought my 1st TC and I hate learning curves and spending money on things I don’t need or bad products. I really appreciate this video and the reviews! Thanks!

[@kenknowles2120]

I absolutely agree with you on the fastgun tie downs. Just like you Kenny, been there done that. I got mine a couple years ago and cannot believe I had spent all that time and money fooling around with junk. In my opinion a must.

That reverse camera is on another level! You should become an amazon affiliate, you'll get shortened links and a little commission instead of amazon keeping it all. Great informational video

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks Matt. So I'll be the first to admit I'm NOT computer savvy. I tried to setup the affiliate links...I couldn't get it to work. I'll have to ask one of my daughters to help me out. Thanks for the shout out the other night. I had a nice boost in subs the last few days!

[@TolbersCamping]

@@KennyOfAllTrades No problem, hopefully the video blows up and you get a lot more. Yeah the Amazon affiliate thing can really help bring in a little more passive income, just include links to all the stuff you use in the description of your video or if you talk about something. Helps the viewers that are interested find what you use and Amazon gives you a little cut since you sent the traffic.

[@jeffreywaychoff5506]

Hey Kenny thanks for sharing. Thanks for Cutting the Trail and sharing the good & bad of Truck Camper Life.

[@paulne1514]

Your first truck should have been a Chevy, with the Deluxe Camper Package. It comes with Frame mounted tie downs, the 4 turnbuckles, shocks between the cab and the bed, and 2 dampers (front underneath the overhang to fender in front of the cab). Heavy duty radiator, and 8 plug wiring to the bed.

I can confirm the camera works wonders, I ordered one after watching a previous video. These videos have been a fantastic resource getting started in the camper world. Great video as always Kenny!

[@memilanuk]

Glad to hear Torklift took care of you! One of our first trips out with our TC a couple years ago was on a bouncy mountain road, and we were using a 2" foam panel in the bed under the camper. Somewhere along the way, the camper slid over to one side, hard up against the wheel well, and luckily I happened to see one of my Fastguns swinging in the breeze before I lost it completely!

[@lynncleveland3323]

Hi Kenny, this was a terrific video. I have a propane detector. I bought it because our regulator actually failed and had a recall on it. Everyone should have one. I do like your rear view mirror rear camera set up. Thank for this extra video.

[@richardkoch8752]

Kenny, Thank you!!! The gas sniffer is a great item to have. I ordered one for each one of my boys and myself. Really a great price with your discount. Love your rearview mirror camera display. Great items Kenny! Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family!

Happy Thanksgiving

[@deltabravo1257]

I've had my Fastguns since 2009. I love them. I really like the classic style Fastgun handle.

[@Jamminalong]

Kenny I never hesitated when it came to Torklift tie downs. I've used them on all 3 of my truck campers. Love the back up camera and would get one if I didn't already have a Furrion. Will definitely pick up the gas monitor since we do mess with the lines when filling the tanks. Thanks for sharing!! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mandi & family! Cheers! ~M

[@jasonlong8625]

You sold me a gas sniffer today, Kenny. Thanks! That was something I never knew I needed.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Right on! It's fun to play with as well. It can even detect sewer gases.

[@whuop-wadeshumbleopinion625]

Excellent video (even though I’m late). I ordered the combustible sniffer right off. Great idea! Getting the rear view mirror camera soon. Thanks a bunch! I love product review/recommendation videos from those that really use the products (especially like the fast guns) which I bought before I even got my camper, along with the Torq-lift tie downs that mount to my frame. The whole setup works great! Take care, safe travels.

[@ericperry9590]

Wow Kenny, thanks for taking the time on Thanksgiving day for another great video. Very informative for sure. We are hoping to upgrade to a set of torklift fastguns next year and toss the turnbuckles. Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks Eric, hope you all enjoyed rhe Holiday weekend too!

[@mikemiller2933]

Torklift is definitely worth the money, I have yet to regret buying any of their products. Love the tie down systems!! I don't have the fastguns as my camper came with the happijac equivalent, which also work well. Great info, thanks for sharing!!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks Mike, I appreciate the comment.

[@jaystrainer1564]

Thanks Kenny for the informative video. You are the real deal. Just a normal Joe! I ordered the gas sniffer. On my first year with a truck camper. Fast guns weren’t cheap but they were way easy to dial in! My next purchase is some upper stable loads. Thx

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks Jay! I really appreciate the comment. You are right, I'm just a regular guy. The only difference between me and a lot of others is I capture my Saturdays and Sundays on a Gopro, then upload it to KZbin. Otherwise I'm just out there trying to survive like everybody else. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Lois!

[@rf2078]

Thanks! I had a hose go bad in the same location. The camper was only a year old and finding the exact location of the leak was a bear. Ordered one. The fastguns are great as well.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That little leak was a head scratcher. I could smell it in the camper almost better then standing outside. The gas sniffer worked like a charm though. If I hadn't recently changed the tank I would have assumed the leak was inside the camper.

[@CallaFab]

"Even if it's your own driveway". thtats right!!

[@ottocarr3688]

In reference to the back seat of your truck. I am impressed that everything is secured, one way of another. In case of very rapid deceleration or impact, all the stuff in the back seat would otherwise be flying forward.

[@FRZNTYM1]

Agree with what someone else said below that you are really making some great vids as of late especially the product reviews. Keep up the great work! Ordered a gas detector. Also use a number of Torklift products on my TC including the Fast Guns/Tie Downs and 30lb Hitch they make. Great products from a great company.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks I appreciate that. I try my best.

[@ericbarr2214]

Thank you and as always, enjoyed the video! 🙂

[@brentmcmahon8188]

I saw a guy who took his Happyjacks off after loading and putting them in his back seat storage space. He took the bottom and back of seat and put plywood down and he had no back seat at all and if your jacks set low you might want to take the off and put behind the front seats. Good ideal if you are worried about damage or tearing them off and each Jack only has 3 nuts and a power plug so if you are getting off the road this may help your self. And I hand never seen anybody do that. Keeps jacks clean and dry and safe. Happy Camping !!!

[@ABQMK2]

Great video Kenny. I already carry everything you mentioned in my Lance sportsman TC except one thing..the leak detector. Many thanks for that review and the code. It’s enroute to me now. Keep up the great work.!

Very cool. I appreciate that. I'll be honest with you, I don't do a lot of this style of videos. I am mainly a camping channel. My thing is finding remote dispersed campsites in Northern Minnesota. Every once in a while, I'll stay at established campgrounds. My videos drop every Tuesday. I work a regular job Monday through Friday and go camping on the weekends. So my style of camping may look different from the full-time Rv channels. But I'm in the woods every weekend, so you will get to see the changing of the seasons in Minnesota. Thanks for subscribing.

HI Kenny, Fred and I both really like the Mirror Dash Back Up Camera that you have. We have been toying with getting that since we first starting watching you and saw it. Fred just does not want to have to deal with running the wire. We have the jump pack, it is a great addition to any car or RV, That was really cool how Tork Lift contacted you. That was definitely a blessing. Enjoyed the video. Mary 💕 Fred

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

It's fate stepping up and making right for those last few unlucky weeks. I get a number of emails every week asking me to review products. I have turned down at least 100 in the last 6 months. It's usually some no name company pushing junk trying to get cheep advertising. I don't want to refer junk to you guys. That's way I tested the Hiboost Cell Booster all summer before putting out that video. So when Torklift contacted me I was beyond excited! They said it was the video where I got stuck in the swamp that put me on their radar. When they told me they wanted to send a new set of Fastguns my prayers were answered. The universe works in mysterious ways. I'm very thankful this Holiday.

[@TheEdelKampers]

@@KennyOfAllTrades We are so happy for you that they contacted you and offered you a new set of Fastguns. You deserve them and we are sure your videos will help that company. We appreciated that you also are particular on the products that you share. 💕

Thx Kenny. I will definitely use the promo code on the Toptes fume detector. Gonna look at the Promido camera as well. Still debating making a change from my current Furion. Keep up the good work. Hope you made it to Thanksgiving on time. 😁

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I hear the Furion is a really good camera.

[@vince9737]

Great information in this video! I have a late model Chev 3500 with the 360° camera option. However, when I remove the tailgate from the truck to put on the camper, none of the cameras work. To solve this issue, I purchased the tailgate wiring harness and camera from the GM dealership. I then installed the new camera into the bumper of my truck camper and plugged it into the truck harness. All of the cameras came back to life and I now have my 360° camera view back! I'm also a Torklift fan. Good on them for supplying you with a new set of tie-downs!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks Vince!

[@theartsunnyshow2748]

And one day when I can afford the mirror heck yeah.. when we bought our camper the first thing the wife said was torklift, don’t go cheap.

Great video!! I just stumbled across your video. I just got myself a 1997 Lance 990 legend and spent 4 weeks in it for work in cold weather. I live in Canada. Hope to do some more winter camping in it. Just took it off my truck for the first time!!!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Hay Lee, Winter camping is my favorite. The nice thing about winter is not many people are out. The bad thing is it's dark by 430, and that ok unless your trying to make videos. I made a play list of last year's winter camping adventures. I saw some reallly cool places. I usually film on Saturdays and Sundays and get a video out every Tuesday at 5pm central time. A lot of people follow along to see the changing of the seasons here in Minnesota. There probably not much diffrent then you see in Canada though. I hope you enjoy the Lance as much as I do my Arctic Fox. It's an older model as well, a 2004. These older rigs seem to hold up well though.

[@Handydam]

@@KennyOfAllTrades I haven’t done any up till this past month. Ontario doesn’t have much winter camping places. I grew up in BC and many there and only $13 a night. I bought the torque fast guns too and love them. I bought the locks right away too. I checked out the pt200 and pt199 gas sensor too thanks to you and will buy. I have a back up camera but like your set up . Hope to enjoy many years with the camper.

[@charlesb4267]

For quite a number of years my brother was using the typical turnbuckle with length of chain that the installers put on his truck at the camper dealer but they were a pain in the butt to use if taking the camper on and off but also I believe he had issues where they would slack off, the turn buckle slowly turning and I think one of the front frame mounts tweaked a bit as well as they were a goofy design and just not strong enough. Then a few years ago he finally had enough of that and bought the torklift frame mounts and the fastguns and no they do not come cheap ( I think he bought the stainless fastguns ) and is far happier with the whole system. Oh and he put clasp pins in the fastguns !

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

You are right, they are expensive. I think that's why I waited so long to get them. After running them it would be hard to switch to anything else though. I bet most of us start with old fashioned turnbuckles, or ratchet straps fastened to just about anywhere we could.

[@charlesb4267]

@@KennyOfAllTrades That reminds me of a full size camper my dad bought way back in the early 1970's when I was a kid and also bought a 1969 GMC 3/4 ton. Literally the camper dealer in Edmonton screwed on hooks that took two sheet metal screws each right onto the side of the truck box body for both the front and rear turn buckles. While its totally laughable and shocking to think of now, the fact is those hooks stayed put into that sheet metal and turnbuckles were standard fare back in those days, ratchet straps probably had not been invented yet. Now try that stunt with an aluminum Ford beer can box and see how that works out 😆

💯 They were built so much better back then. I remember doing hood slides just like Bo and Luke back in the day. Can you imagine doing that on a new car! The insurance company would probably total out the vehicle. Lol

I've upgraded to 15" pigtails, so they don't make such a tight bend when connecting to the propane tanks. I wish Northwood would use 15" pigtails instead of 12". I had one of my 1 year old pigtails start leaking. When I replaced the leaker, I ordered a second pigtail, so I now carry a spare.

[@deltabravo1257]

@@KennyOfAllTrades I really like the 992, especially the "dry bath". My camper is a base camp for my dual sport motorcycling. I get hot, sweaty and dusty while riding, so I use the shower every day. It's nice having the shower separate from everything else in the bathroom. I like the bed access better in the 811. The 992 is a little bit tight crawling into the bed, as well as accessing the wardrobe cabinets on the right side of the bed area since you have to crawl across the bed to get to them. Overall, the floor space feels about equal in the 811 and 992. I also like having an onboard generator, although I still use a portable generator at times.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

That's great info! I started watching your channel back when the 811 was getting all the upgrades. You do a great job as the admin in the Facebook forum as well. At one time I belonged to a lot of Truck Camper groups. unfortunately people can be mean, rude, condescending and opinionated. For that reason I no longer look at 90% of the forums. With that being said, your group," Arctic Fox & Wolf Creek Truck Camper Owners" is moderated very well. Everyone behaves like adults, that's nice to see.

[@newhampshirerob]

Great video Kenny! I had a similar experience happen to me in Maine. We were traveling along on a hot summer day and the AC was cranking. I looked back in the side view and saw the truck behind me pull over and thought that was strange. A little further up the road there was something in the middle of the road so I veered of to the side to go around it and when I did I saw the ambulance behind me. I immediately pulled off to the side and let it go by. The driver was pissed. I just did not see or hear it over the AC and radio. I will have to look into that camera.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Im glad it's just not me! I felt bad when it happened. You'd think the ambulance would be louder. But I think the camper sheilds the sounds. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear we all make the same mistakes.

One guy tightened them down so tight on me, he freaked me out! I had to jump in tell them how to do it properly! Gods sake glad i watched vids before i picked up the camper. So awesome Torklift, sent you a new set!! 👍🏻 That gas detector i must get one, I’ll go investigate next, as Sometimes these products are to much of a hassle to order up to canada.

So far i've been really happy with the factory heater. I see a lot of people put those diesel heaters in. This current set up has been working for twenty years. I think I'll just get into the cold weather and see how it goes.

Love my fast guns!

I agree, I've tried many different types. The fast gunscwork the best for me.

These product reviews are nothing but great for the RV community. Thanks Kenny for sharing your thoughts on these products and well deserved . From the future Happy New Year. Hi Mandi !!

[@Lumberjacksam]

Love your content buddy👍 I was wondering what you use for those diy cabinet latches? Keep up the great content.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I got those plastic latches at camping world, but I'm sure they are cheaper on Amazon. Here is a link to them. www.amazon.com/RV-Designer-H750-Interior-Hardware/dp/B002UC152I/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=CFR0E6THZN1P&keywords=plastic+camper+door+snap&qid=1685937796&sprefix=plastic+camper+door+snap%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-2

[@Mark_Joslin]

Kenny, I know this video is a few months old, but it's very useful. Thank you. I know you have your camper on your truck all the time. So easy disconnect of the camera isn't needed for your setup. I really like the camera and would like to see if I can use it on my new truck. I'll attempt to fabricate a marine grade connection in the cable. But, do you know what happens if the mirror is powered on but the camera is disconnected? Is there an easy way to shut off the display if it is hardwired to ignition power? Is the mirror usable as a mirror (no power)? It would be easy enough to connect power via an upfitter switch if needed. Thanks for your awesome channel!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks Mark! Yes, the camera is usable when you disconnect the rear camera. However, if you disconnect the rear camera, the front facing camera will still be displayed on the rearview mirror. So, you will want to cut power to it. The rearview camera display has a mirror finish, so it works the same as the original rear view mirror when it is off.

[@Mark_Joslin]

Thank you! I'll order one and give it a try.

[@randall6890]

Hey Kenny, I’ve been looking at the new Cirrus 920 truck camper and was wondering if you have any thoughts on that camper?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

I have never seen one in person. But I've watched a few tour videos of them. Their build quality looks top-notch. I've watched a few channels that had Cirrus. They don't have anything bad to say about them.

[@Jamminalong]

Hi Kenny!!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Howdy, have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

[@Josh-yh5nc]

Kenny, I love your channel and watch all your videos. Curious why you carry the jump pack for your truck, because with the diesel you probably have a second isolated battery and you can just jump off that battery.

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Good question! Unfortunately, my batteries are not isolated. I have only needed the jump pack once in a video. It was up in Itasca. The temperatures were around -30 that night. The jump pack did start the truck that day. I think I have used the jump back to start other people's vehicles more than my own. They are handy little tools to have.

[@WBWB2003]

The gas detector came to $16.51 with another clickable Amazon coupon on the product page. Thanks!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Sweet!I should have mentioned it comes with two Duracell Batteries....those sell for a couple bucks alone.

[@johndiesburg9813]

Kenny for the rear view camera did you run the wire underneath the camper and put a quick disconnect for when you take the camper off?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Yes, I did run it under the truck. The camera came from the factory with a disconnect. I put a plug on the connector and tuck it up with the trailer plug wires when the camper is disconnected.

[@mikemiller8021]

Kenny, our truck camper has a slide. So naturally it's heavier on one side. Do you maintain the same air pressure in both air bags? Or do you have more air on the slide side? What pressures do you normally maintain? Thanks Mike From S/E Indiana

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

You are right. To run perfectly level I run the bags to 35 driver side and 50 passenger. At night, I put them both up to 100 psi. That way, my head lights don't bother oncoming traffic.

[@skoffco]

Curious is how do you deal with your rear view back up camera when you take your truck camper off the truck?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

There is a disconnect plug about a foot away from the camera. I keep the camera mounted to the camper. I disconnect it and tuck the wire up under the spare tire.

[@WBWB2003]

Do you ever use your truck without the camper? If so, do you relocate the rear view camera?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Not since I started the channel. Before KZbin i did. I ordered the system with an extra camera. I mounted under the 3rd break light. When the camper came off I would disconnect the camera under the step. I then plugged in the camera under the 3rd break light. It was nice because it gave a wider feild of view the the original mirror, and I could look down into the bed of the truck while hauling stuff.

Hey Kenny my wife and I just recently discovered your YT channel and we're enjoying your videos and your positive outlook and message!. Appreciate your honest review of the TopTes PT210 gas leak detector. What do you think of the PT199 - looks similar, has good reviews on Amazon and is about 10 bucks cheaper. I would be using this on our camper and to check propane grill at home. Do you think it will accomplish the same thing as the PT210? Appreciate your honest opinion and don't pay too much attention to the "negative Nancys" out there! You know what they say opinions are like a__holes, everybody's got one!

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Thanks! I'm glad you found the channel. I looked up the PT199. It looks a lot like the PT210. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars with over 3000 reviews on Amazon. I think that is an awesome rating. I would add that to my toolbox. I really appreciate you checking out the videos!

[@OFFTHEBEATENPATH_YT]

Kenny. Question about the camera. Is it easy enough to disconnect when offloading the camper?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

It has a disconnect plug about a foot away from the camera. I tuck it up under the spare tire when the camper comes off. The camera stays on the camper.

[@OFFTHEBEATENPATH_YT]

@@KennyOfAllTrades much appreciated.

[@OFFTHEBEATENPATH_YT]

Kenny, so I purchased the unit and after running the camera cable I’ve come up about 5 plus feet short. Not exactly how short because the camper isn’t currently on the truck. I ran the cable across the top of the windshield down the front drivers side column, into the engine compartment and back along the drivers side frame. How did you run yours?

[@stuh2]

Am I to understand that there is an actual wire running form the main mirror all the way back to the rear view camera? So I have to hook up the wire every time I put the camera on the truck? the Camera is not wireless?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

Yes. There is a wire that runs from the mirror, all the way back to the camera. I have the camera permanently mounted to the camper. There is a disconnect plug about a foot away from the camera. When I take the camper off the truck, I disconnect the plug and tuck the wire under the spare tire.

[@stuh2]

@@KennyOfAllTrades Yikes! that's one more wire for me to hook up and probably forget to unhook when I take off the camper. lol. (not that I have ever done that with the Lance connector ;) lol ) But it does sound like a good product other than that. I will still consider it. Take care bud!

That torque lift looks bent. Is it?

[@KennyOfAllTrades]

It very well may be bent. I don't take it easy on this rig. I love it when guys in their jeeps show up and ask how I got the camper down the trails. This truck and camper gets me into some crazy places. I've only pulled out the camper tie once. I rebuilt it with a metal plate that's much more secure than the factory setup. The spring-loaded fastguns do work really well to take the impact.
