I think you are right about the double lock. I recently went on my first trio where i slept in the back of my 2017 4runner. The first night I had the windows cracked but it got down to mid 30s and i woke up in the middle of the night, turned on the power to roll them up and think i only single clicked and put the keys in my shoe. Next morning it was totally dead. In the back of my head i remembered you saying this. I jumped it with my portable power and the next three nights i double clicked every night and no battery problems. I also remember hearing a buzzing sound like a motor running but nothing was on and i cannot for the life of me think what it was.

It seems that you really enjoyed camping in your 4Runner. I hope your Tundra is just as pleasurable or even more. I have a 3gen 4Runner that I converted into a micro camper complete with solar, refrigerator, inside bike storage and enough room to sleep comfortably. I've considered a larger vehicle but I really do love my 4Runner! There was definitely a time or two that I was hoping for a little bit more space but I made it work and I'm glad I did. It never let me down! I wish you many many many awesome adventures in your new rig!

Hey, loved this video and the racks in the back as well! I'm curious what year and model you have as my 2022 trd off road doesn't have a hatch on the trunk to get out from the inside after sleeping in it. Just wondering if there is a way to set this up without major modifications? Also you mentioned about the double lock feature and using the key in the ignition, but I have a push start. How do I lock and arm the car while I'm in it with the fob? Hopefully you have a solution, but no worries if you don't, thx!!

Unfortunately I’ve only ever used Lucid so can’t comment on a specific other brand. But get one with good reviews that splits into 4 like this. Reason is to fit my4Runner, I had to cut off one of the small sections. Being split in 4 was easy to do that. But I’ve also had many memory foam mattresses I cut with a bread knife. So if you have any memory foam mattresses you like, you can always custom cut it to size too. amzn.to/3uWbUA8

I tow with a Highlander Hybrid and set up the back in primitive fashion so I can sleep if I don't have my trailer with me. This has allowed me to go places off-road that the trailer can't manage. And when I came home for the winter, I could sleep en route after the trailer was put in storage (saved lots of money). It was really helpful to see what you were doing for storage because my sleeping space was kinda tight given my storage/cooler needs! Do you have something to block light from the windows?

I didn't have anything on the windows, as light doesn't bother me too much (from parking lots and such). I have seen a lot of videos out there of people making small curtains to cover the windows.

Jasper and Napoleon are awesome. You're not too bad yourself 😎 I'm waiting for my Rivian R1S so look forward to doing some camping. Should be interesting in an EV. Did you consider an EV before going with the Tundra?

@TailsofWanderlust 2 жыл бұрын
Congrats on the Rivian that should be amazing when it comes in! I haven't gone EV yet, as I find a lot of the remote places I go don't have charging stations. Especially for trips like Alaska, I'd be worried about finding adequate stations.

Because your truck camper weighs so little you should be ok with the Tundra or the Tacoma. They are both rated for about the same weight even though the Tundra is bigger. If you kept your racks from the Forerunner you should be able to use them in the back seat area to help with storage.

Are you keeping all the gear when you trade the 4runner in? Or would you be interested in getting rid of the bed platform? We have a 2014 4runner which is why I'm asking. Loved seeing the ideas, thanks

I think most suitable vehicle for your need is a truck if not full size than min Tacoma with roof top tent on the back. This would have saved you a lot of money and bring lot of comfort and plenty of space .. when I am saying plenty it would be enough to take care all needs.
