Hi there Vizzy, I saw your vid. I've been truck camping since the mid 80's. Here's what I've learned & I'll pass them on to you. Some of this you may already have, do, or know about. 1) Get stuff you need at a camping store for backpacking. It's small, compact, & light weight. 2)Get splash guards for your truck. It'll help keep you & your rig clean. They work. I know. 3) When parking for the night, park headlong into the wind. That way if a storm comes you won't have to worry about a side wind ripping off your camper shell. Plus, if anything comes bouncing towards the truck, since you have a slimmer profile, it might miss you. If it does hit, the front of the truck is reinforced. Also, when cooking you're in the lee & the wind will blow the smoke & odors out of your rig. 4) Use bug spray on the interior doors & windows/ screens openings to help keep bugs out. Use wasp & hornet spray around & on your tires to help keep critters out. Basically, all points of contact on the ground. 5) An inch is a lot of room. Learn how to stack & get used to sand & dirt. Use floor mats to put your shoes on too 6)Air out your sleeping area every morning or often. In an enclosed space the air gets stale. 7)Use a small fan to circulate the air in your sleeping area. This will help prevent hot & cold spots from forming & help prevent condensation & mold & mildew from forming. 8)Use a solid hooded sweatshirt. Draw the hood tight when you sleep to help encapsulate body heat. It can double as a pillow/ dirty clothes holder/ gear carrier etc. I hope this helps. Great vid, thanks for sharing. Drive safe. 🤠

Thank you for the information! Some of these recommendations I currently use, others I'll implement in the future.

Best low cost build I've seen, well done sir. 6 ft bed makes a great sleeping platform. With the price of power stations down to $200 you can live very nice in the back of a mid size PU.

Thank you! You sure can live / travel comfortably in the back of a pickup truck. I'm currently looking into some of those power bank options for the future because of their versatility and portability. If you have any experience with any specific brands, I'm open to suggestions.

@@adventureswithvizzy I have the vtoman 600x, great price, expandable to 1K, can jump start, usb/12v/inverter (psw)110. Can charge with solar, 12V or 110. Only had it a few moths and I should have got into these years ago, nice to have the power and not worry about killing the trucks battery.

I have watched many videos of fancy slide out drawers with built in stoves and sinks. I have to say this is excellent for cost, time and removability. You sir are a genius! Liked, shared and subscribed.

Nice build. I like the cutting the plywood down the middle. Did a build somewhat like yours. I had a drawer under the bed and put a SUV tent off the back. Used it for twenty years and the the truck rusted out. Good luck.

Thank you, that's neat that it lasted you 20 years! I undercoat my truck yearly to prevent the rusting.

Hi Vizzy...really like that middle spar/brace idea...I'm taking notes on lots of builds...and this layout is really fast and simple....Be interested in seeing what else comes to your design process..So, I subscribed. I am thinking I want to have leg room, so considering doing a a 3/4 build...... allowing me to sit on one side as and when needed...So, your layout but with a rear portion (left or right side) moveable to sit and cook. Having to keep scrambling over the entire layout won't work for me...I'm lucky ..I have an 8 foot bed, giving more room to achieve that....I'll be looking out for your next release

pillows?
@adventureswithvizzy9 ай бұрын
I use stuffable camping pillows. If you're doing cold weather camping, I'd recommend you don't use memory foam pillows because they can get firm and in some cases freeze.
