[@jimhighland8731]

Hi- Nice work! How do you keep dust out of truck bed when driving down dusty gravel roads? Seems like the weak spot on truck-bed setups.

[@JamesBeeXiong]

I use Tailgate Seal www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IPQWXZQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 doing very good job. No dust after I put it on.

[@MoutainGuyAdventures]

Awesome! I have the same truck. You have motivated me.

[@hendynv]

Thank you for the video. Well done.

[@Sirskibumsalot]

What Heat source do you use for winter camping ? ....I use a small Colman propane heater I set up on a shelf .

[@JamesBeeXiong]

I don't use any propane for heat in the truck. I just used my hunting experience to coped with the cold in the winter. As a hunter I used those little heat pad for my feet and my body, I could sit up in the tree under sub zero temp for hours. While use it the same way my sleepjng bag retain those heat pretty good. I don't have to heat the whole truck bed with a propane heater, I only need to retain the warm inside my sleeping bag for a cozy sleeping, the little heat pad do just that.

[@someguy295]

How long is your truck bed? And is the bed designed where you can take it out when you need it to use it for a truck?

[@JamesBeeXiong]

It is a 6.5 and no it is permanent installed to the bed.

[@Bullwolf1965]

What are you using for heat?

[@JamesBeeXiong]

Only sleeping bag.

[@bgrace27]

Fancy build, I am building mine with dumpster wood for free 😁

[@JamesBeeXiong]

Free work fine but not always meet my expectation.

[@1952rfb]

So a number of people are posting about leaks. I'm wondering what happens when you drive through an automatic car wash. How much does is leak? If at all? And way do most wash their pickup with a leer cap? thx Russ

[@JamesBeeXiong]

I have not see any leak sofar.

[@1952rfb]

@@JamesBeeXiong thank you

[@norafinley5216]

Ute in Australia is smaller than in America. It will taking too much space for Australian ute if I build like this.

[@jeffloucks2120]

Happen to recall the measurement floor to top?

[@Baebon6259]

what is the name of the truck cap? Leer?

[@JamesBeeXiong]

No.. It is an ARE.

[@Baebon6259]

@@JamesBeeXiong any issues with water leaking in from the rain?

[@JamesBeeXiong]

@@Baebon6259 No....It is very good only one little complaint. I think the contractor I have did not do a good job on finishing up. Now I have a very little crack at the very back (lower rear right) where the tailgate meet the topper. That is where the water drip off so no leaking inside.

[@joeuify]

Nice work, thank you for sharing!! Oh man I bet that you would love the addition of the ez lift topper system with weekender package to add to your head room!

[@JamesBeeXiong]

I am not a tall person so I am ok with the current set up.

[@PHX10100]

Nice work. Do you have a total cost?

[@JamesBeeXiong]

I think about $500.00 the main cost are those electronic stuff such as battery, charger, control panel, water pump, and the inverter.

[@jannezack]

Nice! I am building out a Ford F-150 6’6” bed. Is your water tank up by the cab or near the back. I am building a 24” x 48” drawer for under the bed which leaves about 30” square near the cab. That would be ideal for a water tank. I really like the way you did your fill and drain. Great job!

[@JamesBeeXiong]

The water tank is the front near the cab.

[@papagig]

did you use a car battery for your power source?

[@JamesBeeXiong]

No, I use an external battery.

[@mudhens4ever]

Does your truck have a 6ft or a 5 ft bed? Thanks. Love it, BTW!

[@JamesBeeXiong]

6.5 ft

[@greatpariscars]

They make video cameras now.

[@davidbrawn2828]

The only true great use of space I have seen is in these old time teardrop trailers from the 50s. You had a kitchen on the outside and the inside was nothing but a big double bed. They were 1950s but they more fit the needs of modern times because with all the crime and crazies they have now you have a nice big cozy double bed to crawl into at night with solid doors to shut and lock so you don't get murdered in your sleep.

[@h3strou8le88]

Should’ve made an actual video

[@LoveDogs___3]

Be nice video maybe if there was some noise, like *TALKING*
