A truck camper on Arizona's Apache Trail

The Truck Camper Adventure Rig tours Arizona's Apache Trail. Music by the Allman Brothers.
Would be cool to see and hear about the cool ideas and mods you saw. What did you glean from seeing all those campers.
Lose the fucking music….it ruins you very cool video
I like the truck bed works for a camper and also use it for a work truck
Excellent truck camper and thanks for sharing sir. One thing with this model I didn’t see is a comfortable place to sit. I wish more manufacturers would delete the dinette and give us comfortable chairs instead.
😮
We had a fun time.
Thanks again for coming and supporting us.
I just watched a review on 3 truck campers and the cheapest one was 83K.😮
Yes and then the truck is another 80k. They are not inexpensive.
Gotta start somewhere. You can find cheaper and older ones for around 5k and up.
Wo..would have texted your dad about that heater 😮
@@sad754yt Yeah, he should have.
I am still here ... Been on Quartzsite since early November... This is the first winter that I have spent the whole season in the desert... I have been here several years before but this is the first time I went in 💯 percent...
Thank you for your support.
Loved doing this review and going to the rally to meet you all. Looking forward to next year!
Most excellent report. Thanks.
Thank you.
I was there for my 4th year
Thanks for supporting us over the years. We really appreciate it.
Would have been great to have you tour some of the rigs you liked!
😊 cool!
SES = Suspension Enhancement System
The person you interviewed is the CEO. The way he talks it's no wonder he knows how to make anything. If it wouldn't be for you telling him what talk about he would be lost. Very poor interview on his part.
It would of been nice if you opened the compartments on the outside
Always interesting to see people rich enough to afford a sherptek bed. The price they quoted me, I could buy a whole other truck
There are no 'benefits', If your truck is on the bump stops when loaded it's a more capable truck that's needed, sorry.
good morning, I would like to ask you how many kg your living cell weighs, thank you from Italy
I dont even own a camper but if i did you would definitely be the one i call to square everything away , you did a build a a ram 5500 with a host mammoth that was super sweet
I'm considering doing White Rim with my truck camper in Spring of next year. This is a good confidence booster.
Thanks Mike. That’s a really interesting camper and pretty light for its size. I’d like to see a Roamer sometime. That one would work better for my extended travels. Thanks again!
What does the framing and wall material consist of? Insulation factor?
There been doing these for 30+years in Japan
Ran them on our 5500 and was really happy with them, but… set up to have Liquid Spring installed in October! 👍🏻 See you in Q!
Helps with stability big time
Big time!
I have ran Trimbrens for almost 20 years on my 2500HD and love them. Completely zero maintenance, install them and forget them. I haul heavy loads almost all the time and my Timbrens are one of the best values I have ever bought and I high recommend them.
Nice! Great to here!
A comparison would have been most helpful. You say you've done them all what gives?
Well versed. Thanks!
Really cool and thought-filled design. Thanks for sharing. I spied this on Down2mobs channel: show coverage, where he complimented your truck and this bed.
I was ready to order one rite up till the point they told me that it would be late 2024 before I could get one and it would cost $19,000.00 for a truck bed. That's 4x what I paid for my c&m bed
Hi Mike and have enjoyed your vids on the rally I just bought my first truck camper and would love to be part of your rallies. Do you have a group in Arizona? I am a baby boomer that still works but can take off as I please as I own my own business and would love to be part of a group of truck campers that get together mostly in AZ and surrounding states
Thanks, Susan. I would subscribe to our weekly newsletter at truckcamperadventure.com. This will ensure that you know about all truck camper events in the Four Corners Area.
Oh no way!
Wish yawl would have opened all the compartments, is there color options,what’s it weigh,and what’s it cost.
How long does Bundutec take for a build with tweaks? I see they don't have much presence in the market and their blog hasn't been updated n over 2 years. Wonder if they're still in business here in the US.
Yes, they are still in business. They've been attending all of the Expos and Rallies including ours next week. The backlog is about 13 months.
Looks like a very well designed truck bed and camper.
We have 4 x 100ah Expion 360 batteries with 390 watts solar + a Samlex 2200 watt inverter/ charger and a Victron MPPT solar controller for our NorthernLite 8-11. The batteries and inverter were mounted in the D-shaped dinette by D&H RV of Apex, NC. We can run the 11,000 BTU AC unit for about 6 hours which comes in handy here in Florida. This set up has worked great for us for the past 3 years; the batteries cost $950/each at the time we bought them...
It's great! Isn't it?
Awesome idea!!! Makes me want a flat bed!!!
Nice vid Mike, could I ask you for a direct "what would you do" answer to a question. So we're looking at the NS LoredoSS and Bundutec Roadrunner. We're going to buy something in spring of 2024 so we've got some time yet. Here is the dilemma, I'm 6'3" tall and 240lbs. As you can imagine, when looking for truck campers, this thins the field quick. We really prefer the Roadrunner in terms of styling and amenities, but, its a bit smaller than the LoredoSS. Since you've owned both, what do you think would make the most sense for us? Thanks in advance.
I would go with the Roadrunner. Rory built one for a guy who was 6-4. That's the thing. Bundutec is willing to customize their campers, Northstar is not.
@@mellomike1962 Hey Mike, thank you so much for the direct response. i just found out today Northstar will not be building the LoredoSS which was taller and we would have to go with the SC anyhow. And, they do not "customize" per say. So I think we'll lean toward the Bund RR. I really do like that Kingstar too, but I dont like the price. But, I want to buy ONE and be DONE. Thanks for sharing your WEALTH of knowledge on this stuff, it helps a lot of people. Happy travels sir.
@@realreviews2003 Glad to help.
Aluminum front bumper?
Yes! By Buckstop.
Rear or both?
@@mikeadams2339 Buckstop Front; SherpTek Rear. Both Aluminum.
@@mellomike1962 cool
Hello Mellow Mike, Ralph and I so enjoyed the first rally. Hope to see you at one of your rallies again!
It's BLM so you can attend 🤣
... brought to yo with music from your favorite beer commercial!!!
I like the way the tiedowns are are integrated into the boxes 👍.
Ryan, can your beds work with long bed, 1 ton, dually trucks?
Yes!
I'm looking at their bumpers and would like to confirm you went with the steel bumper, not the aluminum option, correct?
Mini (Winter) Solar Tip: A boiler and all other hungry electricity consumers can be infinitely dimmed with the "5000W dimmer". Ebay €7. I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heating are throttled with me. Videos on my channel ruclips.net/video/eC2olbCBhh0/видео.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because no extreme current peaks arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices. So, with the dimmer, all internal heaters/devices can be converted into base load devices that stay almost permanently ON, drawing very little current directly from the PV. With a wattmeter / energy cost measuring device you can then measure this perfectly in order to set the dimmer optimally. A little hint (for everyone else): Energy cannot be saved. So if I want to boil my water, I always have to use the same amount of energy for one liter. Christian's method relies on a longer period of time with less power in order to be able to use the power provided by the PV as efficiently as possible - so consumption peaks are intercepted. In the end, the energy consumption should even be (slightly) higher due to the interposition of the dimmer, but it doesn't matter, since more efficient coverage by the PV system and therefore better use of the self-generated energy...........
First time I seen some real thought into a design! Congrats Ryan!
We had our utility truck bed and we needed a camper to fit it we got in touch with RV Drifter Direct man's name is John and he built me a truck bed camper that would fit down in my utility bed it is the best thing since sliced bread you have all the utility boxes to carry tools supplies even my generator I see what this man's done but if you do have a utility bed get in touch with RV Drifter and talk to John he's located in Indiana PA I'm sorry the state of Indiana we've used ours and then out through Colorado Arizona Texas and back home to Pennsylvania and it's just work great thank you
Looks like a great American made product!!!!
