I have the same camper, LEER 122, but it's for my GMC Sierra 1500. I got it for a very cheap price, though it was sitting for a while and infested with brown recluse spiders, the exterior looks great after a solid wash and polish. I'm redoing and fixing everything now. Got rid of all the spiders, ripped all the old carpet, cleaned and sanitized. Tomorrow, I'll be adding new carpet, got it from home depot, pretty affordable stuff. When all that is done, I'll most likely work toward building something similar to what you have. Great video!

@ConnorLee I still haven't done the carpet. It turns out they don't sell the type I wanted. The type they do have does not stretch at all. I've kinda put it off for now, but I'll do it eventually with the correct material haha. Contact cement and/or super 77 or super 90 by 3M can be used to adhere it to the shell.

@@thelazynortherngardener7607 To be honest, the carpet I intended to use with it did not work out at all. If you're planning the same project, make sure you get something that stretches, ideally without any kind of directional pattern on it. And obviously marine grade so it doesn't mold. After I gutted the old carpet and the new stuff I bought didn't work, I ended up sanding all the old adhesive off so it's just a hard fiberglass shell. It's still on my truck now, but I've been having issues with some of the older components of the shell as well as my truck, which is fairly old. I decided I wouldn't sink any more time or money into it since I'm looking to buy a nicer truck soon anyway. I also haven't made any videos. It's an unfortunate situation but I've also been incredibly busy pretty much all the time. Thanks for reaching out, I hope that answers your question.

Truck Bed Camper Build; I've watched quite a few of these over the years as I've got a 3/4 Ton, '96 Chevy LB pick-up, with a recent Leer Legend Camper Shell, and all in excellent condition. My comment is not about your build, but more about all those builds I've seen which are missing a critical component: a thin aluminum sheet that comes in a roll, like Aluminum Foil, but not found in your normal hardware store. It was shown/described on a KZbin video I saw a few years ago by a home contractor. Sorry, but that's all I can remember to help you locate it. What I found so interesting in the video was that this "Aluminum Foil" like material reduced heating costs by more than 50% when installed in homes he built! So I thought this could help tremendously camping out in winter, Alaska, and more. A well-presented video by you on this subject.

Thanks for this video. I'm finalizing design for a quick conversion camper set up in my F-150 6,5 foot bed. Based on your video, I'll put a bench box all the way forward between my side boxes, and keep the bed fill-in piece on the floor. I'm using a tri fold mattress, which will prop-up across the front like a small couch on the forward bench box and side boxes. Love your simple cubbies. For your rear facing right side box opening, I'd just add a small wood piece across the floor to keep items from sliding out, and maybe a removable bungie above that.

Very simple and looks structurally strong. I just got the same heater at Costco for $70, it came with the adapter to attach to the bigger propane tank. I am starting my build February 22nd.

Nice work. Just a thought on the passenger side cubby, I use old plastic battery boxes to hold room stuff, straps, tire chains, automotive additives, a roll up table, cat trowel and maybe a window brush scraper combo( might not be necessary down in Tennessee). On the other side I built in a scabbard for a couple telescoping awning poles, and a boy’s axe, along with extra oil, antifreeze and a full sized shovel. Fishing pole can go up in the overhead along the LH wall maybe. Food for thought, my set up isn’t as permanent as my truck gets used for everything, hauling, camping, business stuff. Keep an eye on your coolant levels, and the radiator- they sometimes leak at the tank to core seams. Good luck

You could add a bowel as a sink then a bottle with a spout. You could also make a back part that pulls out eith a door that would add more room in the back

Sink has been in my mind for a bit. Being able to clean dishes in the truck would be a game changer

This is a very smart economical built. Love the creativeness around your own. Can taste that you are satisfied and it opens the door of future convenient improvements and out door excursions. ( Camp a lot here in South Africa, sleeping in my little camper🎣 with bed extender) Good luck, it looks perfect to me.

Conner this is one heck of a conversion👍I have an 88 Chevy s10 with 6' bed and this would be perfect. I'm determined to make my bed about 18" wide slat boards that will double when pulled out. I just got a FREE High Top Leer Cover that needs painting, but has the carpet on walls so I will have some insulation and I can velcro stuff to it. It looks white but used to be gold. I think someone was sanding it to repaint. A couple that just bought a house near Hanging Rock Park had this left by last owners. I got lucky 🤗 Oh and love your attitude.

Thanks Rhonnie! Really appreciate hearing that! I’m actually repainting, adding lining, and tinting the glass. Pretty much a whole camper shell restoration. Just uploaded the first video in the series, check it out and maybe it can help you with yours or give you some ideas. Free camper is the best camper 🤟🏼

On the end of your cabinet you talked about putting a curtain or a door that opens in but that would take up storage space. I saw a video where a guy used a piece of plywood with two cabinet magnets so what would just click on and pull off. I think that's what I'm going to do

Love the setup! Brilliant use of space. All of the cars I’ve owned are small Japanese coupes, but recently I’ve been meaning to get a pickup instead, and the other day I was telling my girlfriend that it would be sick to do like a camping setup on the bed but that I had no idea how, and this is great inspiration, thanks!
