Looks great. As with all things there will always be more ideas when completed. Good design. That heat/ac system you choose is fantastic. Thanks for all of the great ideas.
Thanks for being true to your word. Next question- how long did that actually take? When you want to finance your next project, let me know I would like to take this one off your hands.
I would say about 15 minutes. That would be without a motorcycle on the carrier. I would unload the motorcycle before I removed it from the truck. I'm thinking right now that I would have this camper for at least 5 years but probably will be selling it at some point.
I didn’t notice the channel name change until now, good call, it fits you. Every time I was removing my pick up camper, and that initial weight shift happened, I always said a quick prayer……but unsecured tripod jacks are an entirely different ball of wax.
@@NEILSWORLD At least you know it’s all plenty strong enough to take the load. Most campers are built like crap, I was never fully convinced that my slide in wasn’t going to cave in at the contact point.
Hello from the Netherlands . Wouldn't it be better to put a trestle under which the camper rests or even better a trailer, then the camper will remain mobile too. maybe even a matching army trailer then you can turn it into an army caravan haha. thanks for the video. Happy new year and a safe and healthy 2022 . Sincerely Hollandduck from the Netherlands
Happy New Year!! I thought some of a matching trailer but I like not pulling a trailer. The camper on the truck is perfect I only take it off for a few months when the truck is set up for plowing.
It might matter what side water drains off if you're walking under it but I'm not. The rear roof that I do walk under to get in is slanted enough so the water does not run off the side so I believe level is best for this setup.
It would take too long to deflate the tires. In the sand mode with no load on the back the tires hardly flattened at all. I would have to pull the core out of the valve and let all the air out like I have to do to get it in the shop with the camper on.

Thanks! Yes, there is always room for improvement. I really do like the mini split unit.

Thank you!!

Yeah, I'm getting pretty used to the way it moves now. 🤪

imho keep it slightly high on opposite side you want water to drain off. Even 1% slope like sewage plumbing recommends will do

Great video! On the Radio Box you sourced, did it have the jacks installed already?
No, I added them.

Have you tried dropping the jacks to snug then deflating the tires? Not sure if it’d work or save you any time… just an idea.

Ya I like your exoskeleton and the habitat jacks. Do you have a link to the jacks you used?
Wow, $600 more than I paid for them 3 years ago.

@@NEILSWORLD ya not cheap but worth it
What’s a habit like that cost? Can you reach out to me?
I custom built it myself. ruclips.net/video/-85raDQyYIQ/видео.html
What shelter is that and did it come with those Jack's?

No cross bracing?
No, I don't see the need for it.
