As living in the Midwest I love the midwestern niceness when you go to small mom and pop buissnesses and you can sit there and talk to people without having to be quiet and you meet people and nobody’s angry at you for sitting at a bar area eating food talking to locals it’s so wholesome seeing mav talking to that guy in the restaurant made me think about that

[@OverlandUnderBudget]

nice mav! its incredible how much of a difference the added headroom changes the feel of the topper. Stoked for you!

[@xchick10]

I love that you have room to sit up now! Even as a weekend sometimes van camper, I rebuilt my set up after not giving myself the right amount of headroom the first time Cheers Mav!

[@EZee213]

"Your parents named you Maverick?".....LMAO! I hate to sound like your dad but please don't make picking up hitchhikers a habit. You know the dangers. I only say this because I care.

[@bootayyshakin]

Mav’s strapped. Nothing to worry about.

[@redstone5149]

Not smart at all. Just can’t do that these days.

[@bootayyshakin]

@Billy Mays i’m not a gun owner. But that makes sense. Mav’s a grown man though he can make his own decisions.

[@Animedude201]

I picked up one never again. It was 12 degrees felt bad. Lady kept getting weirder and weird ask me for s3x for money and if I didn't say I was a minor (I'm not just at that moment felt very threatened cause her hand was about to touch me) pulled over and said get out of my car and at that moment I never again did this.

Im happy i found u, ur videos are really interesting to watch. Ur manners are on point. I think ive watched most of ur vids now. Theres a saying i always say to my kids. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Because comfortable is the steal of growth. And u are so doing anything this saying means. Sending u alot of support from New Zealand x

[@crystalneel748]

That is by far the best thing you’ve done for truck camping life! I just wanted to see more of you sitting fully upright! So much better for your posture, digestion, safety... & now I don’t have to feel claustrophobic watching your videos anymore!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@davidsonkhd]

I bought a A.R.E MX series topper back in 2006 and planned the nomadic lifestyle. I have paired with rear hatched door on my 2004 F150. Life changing events happened and I ended up selling the truck. I enjoy your vids so keep on truckin. 🤙

I would be most def tint those windows for privacy 😂

[@ZombiteXD]

they are tinted but barely... like why not limo tint that?

[@joshuareyes4640]

Doesn’t he insulate it? That covers the window so he can flip up the insulation to see if anyone is outside. Tinted windows at night with light you can see the light shining through from the outside but not from the inside.

[@GoAndLive]

I thought it was a one way see through cause they were pretty dark from the outside

[@michaelpellegrino3220]

I just finished setting my truck up for camping. I put an ARE Mx topper on after watching your headroom struggles. Glad you made the change. Sitting up is awesome!

[@davidvaughn7752]

Glad to see you living your dream and enjoy life while you are healthy and young! You seem like a really nicer person! I've heard these covers called by many names: shells, canopies, bed-caps, etc. I think it is a regional thing that people call these. They did a really good job on your truck and I'm sure that you're going to enjoy it. Good luck on your travels and drive safe.
