Winter Truck Camping in a Free Truck

[@OldManNewbie]

$1,500 for that amazing retro topper??? Absolute score. As a child of the 70s, Sandy is shaping up to be one of my favorite rigs you have.

Same! Accept the child of the 70s I was 80s.

Theres always something way more comforting when mav makes videos with entry/ budget equipment and cars. The super luxury builds are nice, but the humble content will always be my favorite style of camping video.

Hey mate, a good tip for old cars/trucks like that, my father taught me when the heater is busted, is to turn on the Air Conditioner on hot setting. Works like a charm if the AC works in the old girl 😊

There’s just something so aesthetically pleasing about “older” pickups. I’m a dodge guy, but any older truck, Chevy, Ford, Toyota, etc. idk if it’s just me, but they all look better then the new ones. Even a little beat up.

I like how Mav goes shopping for his food first and being able to see that. I just realized he's walking around the store with his mouth cam probably to film that for us. 😂 Thanks Mav❤

[@someguy9778]

He has a headband mount as well.

[@CoreFlux]

@@someguy9778 would work for drawing in looks as well

[@ARLGD]

I agree, it's great to see the behind-the-scenes of his camping trip and how he prepares for it. By the way, if you're looking for reliable outdoor gear and backup power solutions, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's perfect for camping and ensures uninterrupted power supply in case of emergencies. Happy adventuring!

[@ajriding]

The original channel name was" Mav Eats", as seems to be the theme through every video, and camping was just a way to showcase different eats. He gained some weight so changed it to just Mav now though

[@ricklewis8868]

Yes your right and he eats right in front of you how SICK do you watch people eat when you go somewhere with mouth open and chew like a pig boy I'm impressed wow

[@jacquelynwilliams4723]

Great to see a young guy who knows how to get great value from something the average consumer wouldn't even see. Keeps stuff out of dumps and a savvy use of money.

[@Clevelandsteamer324]

Cash for clunkers killed lots of these trucks

[@dumdumdugan1940]

Check the thermostat on that truck. If it’s blowing air but it’s not warm, it might be the thermostat. Also if the truck is running kinda cold, that’s a sign of a bad thermostat. Not hard to change on that truck

[@PotatoandPotata]

I mean...the way Mav talks to the camera. It's amazing. It makes us all feel like we are actually there. Impressive. Thank you Mav for sharing your adventures with us!

[@staceygandy2009]

Those slide in campers are awesome. They are high quality and that one has been taken care of. $1500 is a steal!

[@StrayWithMe]

If you find that the furnace isn’t keeping up with the heat loss of the canvas you could make (or have a seamstress make) a thermal cover for the canvas that snaps or Velcro’s on. Four wheel camper makes one for their slide in campers that is insulated and quilted, but something as simple as sewing some wool blankets together can help hold more heat in

[@dymalcartwright3696]

Mav @4:09 your mean switch to the right wasn't set. LOL these trucks don't fail you. Build this truck out it will be worth it!

[@Liz-lt1zn]

That Bethany camper is in supreme condition. You had to have picked it from an elderly fellow that had it garage kept. What an awesome find. 👍💯

That camper is in awesome shape! I'm betting the canvas part has been replaced. But, it has definitely been in a garage and someone really cared about their stuff. And, from experience, most of us know those old trucks and cars keep on moving! I had a 1988 Buick LeSabre. Made it through 2 So Dakota winters. Before that, it ran with the timing chain in the pan.

Hey Mav I hope you see this I wanted to say your videos are amazing a your channel has grown so much. I love how you motivate people to do what you do by showing you don't need the best things to camp like you. So I have a good idea for you to try next time you are thinking about buying a new build car you should do it with a normal sedan to show people how you don't even need a truck to explore. I have seen lots of people live out of a sedan an I know you could do it easy.

Trick with those gravy packs is.... get a small bowl, put ice cubes and a small amount of water. Slowly stir in the powder mix and add water as needed. Then throw into a pot on the stove. Works like a charm. Just takes patience and practice.

Mav, how are you doing? I wanted to let you know that I've watched you since the beginning and I still do. However, the type of camping and content you're doing in this video is what I like to see more than any other video you produced. The reason for that is because it is closer in tune to what I saw when I first started watching you and your videos. I'm glad that you've been successful and you've been growing your business if you will. But I like to see mav down to earth doing simple stuff that the vast majority of your viewers would do. Though I like to see you traveling around the planet there's no way I could afford to do that. I'm not trying to be rude. Simply saying that I appreciate your new video and hanging out with you the way it used to be. Peace out and have yourself a fantastic holiday season. I'm happy for you and your success as they say, live long and prosper. Okay enough melodrama 😁 have a good and if you could do some more of these simple ones that'd be great

[@ep5796]

Please go on Google and ask this question: What is thermodynamic law define. Since you're always out in the cold doing different things thermodynamic law governs everything you do. If you simply look this up it's a lot easier than me trying to explain it. I graduated from college in 1991 with an HVAC degree and of course thermodynamic law governs everything in HVAC. As long as you follow these laws, and they are a constant unchanging law, you will be much cooler or much warmer. On a side note, take your truck to any service center and have them change the heater core flush out the system and you will have heat in that truck easy peasy as you like to say. It's very important to have heat you never know what the world's going to throw at you and you have to be prepared for it. The external sources that you use for heat, such as electrical or mechanical through propane are not limitless. Watch your back be safe be smart that's all I'm saying. Take care of yourself

If you run30 synthetic blend, it might help quiet the engine. I’m a believer in it, run 40 in the summer 30 in the winter.
