Back in the 50's my father built his own camping/hunting addition out of plywood on the bed of his old Chevy PU Truck. He took that rig everywhere until October of '74, then he started getting sick and passed away in May of '75. It had all the comforts you'd want. He was born on a farm in Pennsylvania in 1897, survived WWI. He was very handy in all types of projects. I enjoy seeing what folks come up with. You all stay safe and love to you from Baltimore.

Re: 2:35 - My LEER shell locks/unlocks with my key fob or the door buttons, and is openable from inside either with the fob or the single, centered, interior lever. I bought it because of those two features. As a woman often camping alone it was paramount to me to be able lock and unlock it while inside. Nice build!

[@stoneyj1a1]

Sleeping in a tent or popup is not easy. For me anyways. It's so musty and humid especially in the morning, I can't imagine doing it for more than a day or two when I go camping. How does this compare? Is it dry? Is there condensation? Do you have solar panels? How do you power that battery?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Well, I’m in Texas so pretty humid, but I’ve got a crazy amount of airflow inside. Both side windows open up completely and I’ve got 2 fans I run throughout the night. It’s not bad at all to be honest.

[@DWBJosh]

Probably one of the best looking setups I’ve seen but to be honest the bags in the “junk” drawer is seriously the best idea I’ve seen in a long time. Not only am I going to use that when I do my build but I’m probably going to use that idea at my house lol!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Lol. Thanks👍🏻👍🏻

[@Bawkr]

Cut up cardboard cereal thickness boxes and sour cream containers or other cleaned food containers. Good for the environment, for in your home or re purpose tupper ware. Yogurt cups to for right sized things. Works better to divide up drawers in a home than bags. Bag system is great for mobile use tho.

[@Bushwhacker-mb3uh]

Looks nice and comfortable. Respectfully, a couple of suggestions. Improve the chain on the S-hook for securing from the inside. Fire extinguishers, I would suggest two minimum for a vehicle that size running electronics or for any emergency. Given the times we live in I would suggest some trauma pieces to your first aid care. Get tourniquets, blood clotting products, some small tampons for holes (do your research on that one) needle to relieve a collapsed lung, etc. Have limo/blacked out tint for your camper windows. You can get someone to apply it, they’ll do it without writing you a receipt. I’ve sported limo tent on all of my vehicles because of my former uniformed profession. It’s smart. Road flares? Exterior lighting for security, emergencies, etc. Where’s a handgun, AR, or at least a quality shotgun and ammunition. Bear spray is good to have but it will not save your life. Some things, in my opinion, to consider. It’s yours and your family’s lives at stake once you leave the castle. Take a midland radio and a $20 ham radio and/or a radio with emergency channels. Remember, you may be in that vehicle when something bad may happen and no one’s coming to help. Think in those terms and you’ll make the proper additions.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks. All good suggestions, but just a secret…that holster is not there for “bear spray”.

I've got an inverter inside my truck, with protected wiring going to the inside of the bed of the truck, and installed a regular 120v outlet inside the corner, and maybe someday I may install a switchover to hook up to shore power. You have to be careful what you hook into the outlet because it is not a true sine wave inverter. Love your setup, real fancy.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Bob

[@iNowHateAtSigns]

Bob is right that some devices do not like inverters because of the imperfect waveform, but that's not what you have installed. Thats a simple "regulator" or "power supply" converting AC to DC. An inverter would take DC in (from the battery) and give you AC out (typically 120V here in US). I was particularly impressed with your clean, safe, and frankly impressive wiring job.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you Nikki😃👍🏻

I had a bed rug in my 2002 dodge pickup with a cap. Loved it, made moving furniture much easier. logs, tool, camping gear, no problem. Cleaned up easily.

Great setup, you are really good at explaining what you have done with the camper, thank you!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you!

I just got my g2 license in Canada (I can drive by myself just not on the highway yet till the full g) and I'm so excited for my full g to get a pick up and deck out the back like you. You made it so smooth and not busy. I don't at all have the expertise for that so that end part with the wiring will help. Thanks for making this short little video, it's inspiring💙

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Congrats bud👍🏻 good luck on your build👊🏻

[@ryansouthmayd2077]

Awesome build! I probably missed this, but how do you charge that battery?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I can either charge with shore power, my trucks dc outlet or a solar panel I keep in the truck.

That's the coolest simplicity for one person camper/survival set up I have seen make a beautiful hunting set up

[@davemiller8203]

You've done an amazing job on this build. And you've given me some ideas for my build, so thank you!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks Dave👍🏻

Incredible job!!! Have u considered doing a set up on the the new f-150 lighting? There’s a ton of new features that would be super helpful for this kind of adventuring!!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Lol. I wish!

[@mrks_audioengineer]

I would use the free switch for a safety exterior light. Perhaps you could secure your drawers so that they cannot open while driving... your truck is really well made! Love it! That's why I couldn't resist making these two suggestions. :)

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks! So, the free switch is now wired to some exterior lights I installed, and I built the drawers to fit very tight so they can’t open up while driving…you have to give them quite a pull to open up.

👍😍I love your set up and build. Very creative, simple & effective. I’m taking notes for ideas I want to use some day. Thank you. 🙏💝

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Nice dude. I started doing this in 1994 with a 1982 toyota pickup. Currently is set up in my 1988 GMC Sierra 4x4.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻👍🏻

I’m 1 minute into this video and can already tell you watch CrazyQuady lol

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Yessir, he was some inspiration on this. I tried to give him props when I thought if it.

[@ronintoecutter7690]

I think everything is great. However and respectfully consider the idea of fold up doors on the side of the camper. You mentioned the curtains and that’s good for privacy however if you are trying to keep the heat out, The most effective way is to keep the sunlight out. That being said, on these small doors that you could attach fairly easily, you could also install small solar panels and gas struts that would hold them up. They would also provide additional security and shelter if needed. I do not agree with putting gas bottles into a cabinet. You could have a gas leak and it could fill the entire cabin creating a bad situation.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you👍🏻
