$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.

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.

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.

[@CoreFlux]

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

[@user-hh6ex9md4w]

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

This video felt like a classic Mav camping video.. Also I like how you got all this done in a day. Cleaned out car.drove in a storm. went to the Facebook market place seller house. Put camper into car. went to the store then found a camping spot. Cooked all in one day. I can do about 2 things a day.. Lol

[@Billt-qx5qy]

Love how fast this guy moves! Free truck to topper to grocery store to camping! Love the positive, grateful, upbeat attitude! Great video!

[@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

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

I hope Mav checked the oil, I can hear those lifters tapping from here. 😄

I have wanted to tell you for a long time how much I appreciate that you are such an awesome example of someone who can rock the camping world with no booze, smokes, nor profanity! Call me old fashioned, but those things are just so distracting and unnecessary to entertain! Thanks Mav, you’re a stand up guy!

[@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

[@rangerdanger10]

Saw you at Old Chicago tonight man. Was going to say hi but didn't want to bother you while you're having dinner. I was starstruck though! Cool to see a celebrity in person. Keep it up Mav, makes us hometown MN people proud. ✌

[@bamnguyen7903]

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 😊

[@emartin851]

What an awesome camper! Sandy handled it like the pro she is. 😊

[@Mr.yapper69]

The fact that he does all this and records all his adventures just off a phone is actually amazing. Just goes to show that you don’t need anything fancy to just start this career

[@bishyeahbish3758]

Love the vids! Just a tip. It is very common for vehicles heat to stop working when the coolant for the engine is low or has a air lock. It could be a really simple fix just check the coolant level

[@dumdumdugan1940]

That or a thermostat. I had a Jeep that was blowing cold air. Replaced the thermostat and the heat worked great

I am not only loving the new truck... I'm really loving the new slide in camper! Im all about retro, vintage and old things! ❤❤❤

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. NOT kidding. Have fun!

Maaaaan I’m jealous of that camper. That thing is fire! But it also gives me some insight as to finding a nice camper doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. 1500 for that thing is a banging deal! I’m going to have to keep my eyes open.

[@j_rainsgoat3929]

I bought a jayco songbird slide in camper for $800 several years ago and it was mint. Good deals are out there. Mine has solid side walls. Even every pop up camper was closing the campers for a thunderstorm I was chilling

[@anthonym187]

For your heat situation on that year of Ford truck you have to use the selector switch on the right and select what vents you want it to come on or the blower motor will not come on in the video it is in the off position sounds like later in the video you had it going a bit sounds like the blower motor is going out fairly easy to replace

[@ep5796]

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

You'd LOVE to go camping here in Norway 🫶🏼

I know you said you were going to get the suspension done but you also need to get the engine done because you can hear the piston in the engine knocking pretty loud😊

[@deeisme1369]

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. You get the thickness of the oil and protection of the metals with the synthetic. I have a 92 Explorer, feels like I have more compression too. I have 200198 miles original engine….she is running strong. She was my daily driver to work. The lifters aren’t tapping as much too. I use Valvoline. Change it every 4500.

[@AndrewKumler]

Agree with the above, and also sounds like she's got an exhaust leak.

[@bigd8334]

Mav for Sandy's heating issue maybe start with a new thermostat it could be stuck open causing the no heat issue. Good luck and that camper is in awesome shape for the age of it. The previous owner/owners really took care of it.

[@OverlandVini]

For a total of $1500, that a pretty sweet setup! I always wanted one of those old Fords just because they look great, never crossed my mind about making it a camping rig, great stuff!

[@andrewjackson8421]

What if you tried to insulate the canvas with some kind of light weight insulation padding on the inside. Maybe you could Rivet some snaps along the borders and the canvas, and then find some kind of insulated barrier that you could snap onto that during the winter time. Just a thought. You might make winter camping more accessible to the masses if you can come up with some kind of insulated interior gadget or kit. Very cool video though Mav. You’re quite brave to just buy a pop up camper and sleep in it the same night.

[@Arthur_Lake]

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.
