    I've been studying these builds for five years constantly looking for upgrades
    This is the single bestest build I've ever seen for a truck.
    This thing could easily be transferred from a larger truck to a smaller truck with very little modifications

    On top of being easy to convert back a truck to haul I like the fact that the hidden components are easy to work on if need be. By being removable you can easily repair something or add something new.

There has got to be some kind of criminal charge for having a truck camper build so awesome ! lol , I have my mini van decked out like this ; but I'm getting hooked on these truck camper shell camping build videos . I once had a pickup in the eighties with the flared Leer camper shell top . These videos make me cringe to think , I practically gave it away years ago .

    • @yury.bushev
      @yury.bushev  10 месяцев назад +2

      We think alike! I actually added a 100W flexible solar panel to the cap roof last month. The cart was originally made for a different purpose, way before the camper itself, so I'm making use of what I already have.

    • @yury.bushev
      @yury.bushev  11 месяцев назад +4

      Yes, you're exactly right! The additional section in the middle of the floor is designed to broaden the bed's size when I'm staying overnight. I'm using 75"x38" foldable mattress. The measurements are comfortable -- about 11 inches from the floor to the bed and then 39 inches from the bed to the ceiling. Even for a tall guy like me (I'm 6'2"), it's enough room to sit on the bed and work on a laptop all day without any trouble. Hope that helps!

      The camper shell is the heaviest part, weighing about 300 lb. The furniture is approximately 100 lb, and the battery is around 50 lb. So, the total weight is roughly 500 lb including water.

    • @yury.bushev
      @yury.bushev  11 месяцев назад +4

      Hey! I made a hole in the regular cap and fixed a CPC (from the brand Colder) quick-connect valved female adapter. I also have a male adapter on the pump side, which is also valved, so it doesn't leak water when they are unlinked. They are a bit pricey though; I spent around $60 on them.

    I like the way you made the platform on the bottom can I ask you a question? Did you put the slats underneath the plywood on the part that’s lower in the truck or the higher spot and what kind of wood did you use on the bottom, was it pine?

    • @yury.bushev
      @yury.bushev  4 месяца назад

      Hey there! Yes, I used pine for the wood-it's affordable and has that great natural look. I laid the slats along the entire length of the floor to accommodate the contours of the truck bed. This way, they sit flush even in the lower spots, ensuring stability without taking up too much height. Plus, this setup allows for ventilation beneath, which is super handy if any water gets in. Hope that helps!
