LIVE: Kimbo shower and manufacturing

Here's a walk through of the most recent kimbo shower setup. Our goal is to make this shower as simple as it can be. next we go on a walk through a most recent kimbo build in our shop. Enjoy! -Mark King

[@stevenparkin6486]

Consider moving the shower to the entryway. That spot already has a floor pan with teak floor and drain holes to catch snow melt. I like your overall concept of multi-purposing; and shower-entry combo may fit. Comments? - Steve Parkin, Salt Lake, Utah

[@starfish3108]

Like that idea

[@billmoree8089]

Ever since I first saw the Kimbo, I've wondered why the shower isn't in that space near the door. That would make sense.

[@quailbird3]

This is one of the best KISS method campers I've seen! You are doing a great job! When I win the lottery I will buy one! The Lord bless you and you keep up the great ideas and give Him the glory! Your friend in Christ, Carl Covey.

[@jtr82369]

Suggestion for the storage baskets: a track system that allows the owner to move and remove the baskets as they see fit would be really cool. This way only the baskets needed would be on the wall and in the place they are best served. Also, it would allow the owner to put the baskets in the dishwasher at home.

[@kid7672]

These are incredibly well crafted campers !!! I'm saving my money for my own KIMBO as we speak !!! I'm absolutely in love with these !!!

[@kimbocamperssales8166]

Michael, We look forward to getting you into one someday. -Zach

[@DrMott]

Outstanding dedication to the highest principles of design and quality. As a sailboat guy I have to watch these Kimbo vids!

[@StressLessCamping]

This. Is. Brilliant. Pretty neat watching the progress of these campers.

[@robertrhode6104]

Mark you are the man! I like that you use your campers. I need one. Thanks Bob

[@mikeallensonntag]

This is probably the best design I've seen keeping it simple.

[@neftalivazquez8041]

can the kimbo be custom built to fit longer pkup beds :(ford 6x raptor truck?)

[@jameskoskinen6763]

I love the multi-use system that you have going on, it makes having amenities a possibility when working within the confines of a small truck space. Good work. Looking forward to picking up my kimbo soon!

[@apexclaimadjusters5816]

love to see this thinking outside the box and following the passion.

[@jipsiemune]

You are so cleaver and amazing i am gonna start saving and gathering money for a camper i love the idea of simplicity and not having water lines or water tanks on the outside or underneath i am drooling every time I watch one of your videos i love love the fire place with a little log burning in the fire place id be so cozy and at home in that camper

[@jeffro5032]

Finally found a damn camper , where they have a wood stove option!! YES! For me personally , a wood stove in either a camper / trailer ect........is a 100% MUST!

[@crankyemoji2328]

I love your camper. Unfortunately I have no money to afford it. But I have a suggestion idea and a recommendation. My recommendation would be have a hat bracket on the roof and on the back driver side for a CB antenna or ham radio antenna or both preferably. Note overhanging shrubs are always on the right side to break antennas. Something to consider or investigate on I remember more than a decade or two ago a 4 x 4 channel had a in-line heat extractor From the hot side hose going into the radiator. It was a copper device that would use a water pump to pump through the water from a 5 gallon bucket into the heat exchanger and back out to a quick disconnect under the car for a warm to hot water shower head. Ideal for washing cars or you.

[@whitepeoplergullible9241]

Maybe a copper coil incorporated into the furnace to use that heat. Then plumb it to the shower space. Maybe you could also have an inlet on the outside and inside for the water source.

[@pinay56]

There is a problem with depending in the inside door handle to close the rear door. Evetually the handle or locking mechanism will work itself loose. So why not install an interior grab handke to shut the door with enough force to close it. Submarines all have a grab bar on the interior of their hatches to close the hatch...

[@n.lyndley.9889]

Love the quality, lightweight and simple solutions. Surely you could set-up some kind of heat exchanger from the vehicle’s radiator/ cooling system? Heat your water for free when driving (separate, clean system), boiling water, insulated tank that would stay hot for ages once parked-up. If the pipes ran internally with insulation no icing up.

[@LegendsBeware]

Really awesome

[@HelpfulRebelsTV]

This is absolutely fantastic! Definitely need to get one of these my friend! I will be calling soon. Blessings:-)

[@MrBessen]

I think these are amazing! Please keep the updates coming, hopefully the wife will let me get one of these one day

[@bugsbunny7710]

That wet area would be an excellent place to serve as double duty for a toilet

[@billieprescott1]

Double dooty

[@ginacardarella]

Great you actually camp with it makes a big difference when designing, love the wood stove and your shower idea do you make these a little bigger if someone wanted to order?

[@R-K61]

Brilliant.

[@cliffmorgan31]

You NEED to make one sized for the Cyber truck! The style would compliment each other!

[@emmas1082]

Genius!!!

[@wildbillsadventuresoutdoor9276]

Awesome truck camper!! What kind wood stove you got? That's awesome little wood stove! Your hatchet looks cool 😎

[@danielchristian5541]

If you made one that filled up a 6.5 bed on a full size truck I'd be all over it!

[@mgp17316]

I love your camper design (with the rear door). As an older Engineer i like the KISS (keep It Simple, xxxx) approach. I also love your updates, changes and improvements as you go. The rear door change makes it much easier for the fat old guys like me and i love it. That door must of been hard to fabricate and seal. I also love the goal Zero power pack solution. I have been wondering why more designs do use this approach with all the different off the self solar power units and DYI types. Keep designing I love our design approach.

[@susans7091]

I really appreciate that you are using your product and continually finding ways to update it. If it is raining or there is snow on the roof when you open the door, how do you keep it going inside from that sloped roof part?

[@danflorez3072]

I love the rear door model with what appears to be a pop-up shower at the entryway. If that is an entryway pop-up shower, can you do a new video with that option and if you provide hot water tank?

[@billwhite9769]

I plan in ordering mine this summer. I plan to live in it for about five years, so it needs to be loaded.

[@agentofficerthomasa.porter107]

Mark, I served in the U.S.A.F. & Will Take A Military Shower. They Take 2 Minutes Max. Your Tank Will Warm Up With Semi Warm Water In It. 😁

[@timadams1827]

I’m saving my pennies for a kimbo camper. Gotta have one.

[@n0254777]

How much do you need to save up for one of this Kimbo?

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

The wet closet can also be used to dry hand washed clothes. You can use a 5 gallon bucket to hand wash your clothes in.

[@margemargie9891]

movie star! love the look and your velvety voice and calm demeanor. (you remind me of Steven Curtis Chapman, vocalist) oh, and great camper lol

[@razoredge3265]

I like this truck camper.

[@drew8642]

I wonder if you could just mount that front window on the side then you could just look directly out the window/skylight and stargaze as you lay in bed. Awesome design.

[@shekharmoona544]

Embassy RV has a novel solution to grey and white tanks. Where they share the same space through the use of a flexible Marine grade reservoir.

[@mobharley9789]

If you need a commissioned sales person in salt lake. Get in touch with me. I am not sure what your production capacity is but these would sell very well in this whole state! I love the camper man. I M trading my Prius in for a Tacoma with the hope of one day buying this bad boy. I'll sell for a free trailer, THIS CAMPER FITS RIGHT IN HERE. i can't stop watching these videos!,,, well done.

[@jeffpollock3345]

Are there any plans for a full size truck kimbo in the future?

[@foolishevil]

I feel like this dude might just be an evil genius 😂

[@henrykim6086]

I think the garden sprayer shower idea is kinda good but same time it is kinda dangerous idea too and time to time use the tank and the handle cylinder area can build up shower grim and dirt...etc.. it is kinda ideal sprayer with shower but seems something is missing here...

[@kobracom77]

Can you somehow make the entrance way with the drain, the shower? You could kill two birds with one stone...Awesome job on this.

[@kimbocamperssales8166]

We had initially had the shower there but found it to be too small of space to stand up fully. Thank you for the suggestion though! -Zach

[@bradfordpalmer2298]

If you cant stand, maybe you could sit in a small seat and shower off?

[@kimhorton6109]

If it was warm enough out I could more easily see me placing the shower bottle on the tailgate and showering on the ground behind the camper with a swimming suit on. Nice

[@brianschott8162]

These campers have piqued my interest, I'm very curious the insulation to support a 4 season/full time camping experience.

[@ShikokuFoodForest]

Me too! I’m up in Canada 🇨🇦.

[@drew8642]

What kind of awesome aluminum structure is the body body made of and how is it insulated?

[@danpintal1215]

Great vid. Is there a roof rack option that could support 2 kayaks or 4 paddle boards?

[@davemiller8203]

What i want to know is if this company is willing to do business in Alaska with alaskan citizens. We alaskans are running into problems more and more and are having to go out of country to get the things we need. So much for supporting amerika...

[@ericvaughn7628]

Damn I love it

[@jasontman36]

Is that Harrison Ford? ...YO!

[@mitchbrown3753]

Just get a sea to summit shower bag, boil some water and add it to cold. Easy as hell.

[@ireallyloverats]

Another good option .. just stick the one end into a bucket of warm water (bags are heavy to prop up, and may leak with time) Ivation Portable Outdoor Shower, Battery Powered - Compact Handheld Rechargeable Camping Showerhead - Pumps Water from Bucket Into Steady, Gentle Shower Stream www.amazon.com/dp/B00IFHFJXI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_BWYeDb4SAFRNS

[@drew8642]

The shower used to be available for about $130 by Zodi® Extreme SC™ but you can make yourself one.

[@scottt4081]

Winterize the water system for winter camping and use bottled water.

[@karenfranz7262]

👍

[@jayperez5290]

What brand is the metal shower tank? I need to know

[@jamesmoore9008]

Zodi Extreme

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

you should cover them with some cool wraps, Like camo or A American Flag wrap.

[@billmercado3004]

I want work for this guy

[@larrywidhelm8915]

Really like your hat. Where did you get it? Thank you.

[@TacoGrande007]

Kimbo or Kimbo Slice??

[@Taylorsumnerstar]

Is their a place to store a small generator for the airconditioner?

[@Mike-w8h7u]

Do you have plans in the future to make a unit that could safely accommodate a wood burning stove

[@mixflip]

That would be awesome!!!

[@tittybarr0]

When will side door models go back into production?

[@kimbocamperssales8166]

Travis, The side door was only on the prototype. All Kimbo models moving forward will have the rear door design. -Zach

[@luisovalenzuelajr9606]

What’s the price on the camper?

[@scottt4081]

Do you make products that will fit Rambox trucks?

[@Cheez1979]

How can I get one of these?

[@909cobra]

can we get one with only a front window and maybe a sky light

[@bobl.2213]

A pop up top version of these would sell great. This wont fit through a .typical suburban garage door opening. (height).

[@biggreentj]

doubt a popup version would fit either.

[@user-pn5fk8db9q]

Big enough for one person and if someone puts the gate up you are trapped inside windows too small to climb out

[@timschutte6924]

You would be much better off using a tankless on demand , (portable) water heater made for camping. Hooks right up to a 30 pound propane tank.

[@shekharmoona544]

I wish there was less wood because of moisture absorption.

[@DRDRE-ex6yg]

You've got to come up with a better shower stall design, your garden sprayer design is pretty sucky! Hopefully you can come up with something much better, and hopefully you'll come up with a better solution for an actual cooking stove. It would be really nice to have these luxuries!!! Thanks

[@billjones5178]

Why not just shower outside with swim suit on. Lots more space out in wilderness ?

[@erichpizer1]

open shop is South Africa you'll make so much money . My wife has a law firm and can do all your patents trademarks local registered designs IP etc. Mech Engineering man myself

[@eddietafoya4105]

The rivets are working for you?

[@kimbocamperssales8166]

Eddie, They are working great! -Zach

[@rcnsucom]

I want to buy one, not but not MRSP.

[@720Carys]

Hi Kimbo, please how It's called that "garden sprayer" on the Internet. I cannot find it...and I need it for sure :) Thanks a Lot. Martin, Europe.

[@ireallyloverats]

This is also a great option .. just put the one end in a bucket of warm water Ivation Portable Outdoor Shower, Battery Powered - Compact Handheld Rechargeable Camping Showerhead - Pumps Water from Bucket Into Steady, Gentle Shower Stream www.amazon.com/dp/B00IFHFJXI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_BWYeDb4SAFRNS

[@KyleClerico]

Check out this version of the shower: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4WrpXWPrdprhJo (At 7:38 in the video) Very similar style, but he can heat it with a sous vide cooker and pressurize with with an air compressor.

[@jamesmac4447]

Can a man order one of these black with red writing on it?

[@hotmasked1]

I will so contact you and buy your kimbo in CASH PAID IN FULL ! I just have to buy my Toyota Tacoma first lol!

[@crankyemoji2328]

I have a short bed Toyota 2018 is your camper too long.

[@kimbocamperssales8166]

It is not! The Kimbo will fit great on your short bed Tacoma with the tailgate down or off. Please feel free to email me at [e-mail] with any further questions you may have. -Zach

[@alanvetree1208]

tom brady????

[@evilldead6824]

Way to expensive

[@nedaCFilms]

Showers are overrated.

[@solanamae8622]

I dont like the shower area
