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.
Absolutely the most well thought out, genius truck camper design Ive seen. I like many others here have viewed many many many others and this is THE BEST !!!!. I've started building my Ram 2500 short bed out. I'd even be interested in hiring you to build the same set up as you did for your Ram. Nice job Sir 👍👍
One word; INGENUOUSNESS 🤣🤣🤣 Actually, when I saw the thumbnail, i pigeonholed what was to follow. As I watched the video. The Simplicity in Design and Video Presentation had one Word also. AWESOME!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its simple, thats why its so nice project, easy to take out and easy to modifi if you want to change something for the next trip, and a day after you can work with the truck!
Nicely done! I've been thinking of doing the same. The runner in the middle locks the side pieces in place. You can pretty much disassemble with no tools.
I've always loved that style of camper shell with the different roof-hights and variously shaped windows. Very nice conversion. I would add a camping toilet as I can't live without one (I even have one at home as I only have one bathroom, and you never know...). A little hanging space 4a few pretty dresses tucked in, and it would be perfect 4m. Happy Travels. 🙋♀️
Oh lauwd ! 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 . Then comes your video , that will send me into a jealous state of mind ! lol ...... ( dude ; you got it going on . Thanks for sharing your AWESOME build )
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! It's always a trip down memory lane to remember the rigs we used to have. Keep enjoying the build videos, and who knows? Maybe it's time for a new project for your mini van. Happy camping!
Wish I could put a tall camper shell on my truck, but then it wouldn't fit in the garage. Nice build. I dont do water in mine, but do have an air conditioner.
This is awesome. Do you have a video on how to set up and connect water pump and sink as well as the outlet. How did you get everything connected to the power generator
The roof is 3/4 fiberglass with an added cloth layer. Therefore, I used 1-1/2 inch screws for the 3/4 inch thick board, ensuring no holes were made externally.
Very nice build. I would add a solar panel on the roof to help charge your generator. One question, I love the rolling storage cart. Why isn’t it tailgate height to ease loading/unloading?
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.
i guess the extra piece of plywood you put in the middle floor is to double the bed width? im wondering ab9ut height from floor to mattress, and mattress to ceiling? Are you able to sit on bed without bumping your head? Beautiful workmanship btw!
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.
@@kenmasteren I used to charge with a 110v cord from my garage. But after getting 100w flexible solar, I can boost the charge from 40% to 100% each week, just in time for my weekly trips.
Hi I’m wondering what kind of cap setup you used on the 5 gallon water jugs to be able to just snap them into your water line, and do you have any issues with leaks?
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.
Hi Yury awesome build would you be able to measure at the end of the bed to the top of highest point of the cap roof? I have a ram as well, trying to figure out what the max height would be with a topper like yours, then adding an ez topper lift which would add an extra 17.5 inches in height when raised.
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?
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!
How did you attach the roof shelves? im not sure if i should drill into my camper shell roof. i just cut a hole in for my vent fan, it was like a weird honey comb material

This is the single bestest build I've ever seen for a truck.

... I loved your Yeti dog bowl sink!!
.
One of the nicest truck camper builds I've seen. Have you considered offering plans for other folks to build such a setup ?
I want that in my '19 Tundra, 4x4 off road, double cab. 6.5' bed !
ME TOO! FOR MY 2006 CHEVY 2500 HD, DURAMAX 4X4 6.5' BED...
Absolutely hands down the best yet
Simply perfect!

Hey, thanks! It was just something I did as a hobby. :)
I've seen quite a few builds but this one is my favorite !!
And the winner is!: your setup ❤
One word; INGENUOUSNESS
🤣🤣🤣

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. I love this and I’ve watched thousands of videos
Best DIY set up. I've ever seen..
Its simple, thats why its so nice project, easy to take out and easy to modifi if you want to change something for the next trip, and a day after you can work with the truck!
Юра, все супер продумано и аккуратно, ты очень круто1
Awesome design
My guy, I’m a craftsmen myself, and have built numerous truck builds, and have got to say, this is the most impressive one I’ve come across.
Complimenti bellissimo.😮
Nicely done! I've been thinking of doing the same. The runner in the middle locks the side pieces in place. You can pretty much disassemble with no tools.
love love love how minimal and functional this is!
Bloody impressive. You should be proud
Outstanding Build should be proud Sir!! Thanks for sure and God Bless America 🇺🇸
Wyle-e-coyote. Genius.
OUTSTANDING BUILD!
Awesome
Nice build. Enjoy, travel safely. 🙏
Looking at your house. I recon we could not xspect nothing less of you and i will add what a great job!!

AWESOME SET-UP. A LOT OF FOLKS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS BUILD FOR THEIR TRUCKS, THINK ABOUT PLANS...
Stunning! Love it!
I would pay for your plans to build that for my '19 Tundra!
Super impressed! Real smart design. Nice!
Very nice, well thought out, functional design, and original.
The nicest I've seen. Great job
Well thought out, nice job!
Well you’ve inspired me to do this with my Ram! Excellent build!
Awesome build
Excellent looking setup, man!
Howdy from Corpus Christi Texas. Outstanding 👍 👍
Surly simple, love it.
Very nice. Maybe nicest truck topper build I’ve seen.

Absolutely! I'm really happy with my TRIPTIPS Portable Foldable Toilet :-)

5 Star Studio, excellent build.
Awesome super comfy superb brilliant idea cool set up instant clean spot clear and durable, just love this
This is absolutely amazing!!
Best setup ive seen so far
Very nice design and work, along with great video presentation.

Nice ..I need to do this to my truck..if I had the plans
Great👍
Beautiful setup, nice work

Nice job! Love it 👍
Nice work!😊
Very nice setup, thanks
Nicely done!
Fantastic!
Very well organized brain
merci et bravo.
This is awesome. Do you have a video on how to set up and connect water pump and sink as well as the outlet. How did you get everything connected to the power generator
Nice work my friend…
Very good,gave me some ideas 👍
Very nice
Nice job
Very nice. How do you secure the boxes to the floor when traveling? Ty
That's easy! The boxes are quite heavy and I secure each of them to the subfloor with two screws when traveling.
@@yury.bushev Thanks !
Holly geffers Batman. 👍
How did you put that overhead shelf in? Did you drill through the cap?
The roof is 3/4 fiberglass with an added cloth layer. Therefore, I used 1-1/2 inch screws for the 3/4 inch thick board, ensuring no holes were made externally.
Sick bro.👍
Do you have a tutorial and tips and other helpful info about your sink setup for beginners?
So nice! Are you taking orders? :)
Hi, not really. It's just a hobby project 🙂
Very nice build. I would add a solar panel on the roof to help charge your generator. One question, I love the rolling storage cart. Why isn’t it tailgate height to ease loading/unloading?

What thickness plywood did you use for the major structural pieces? Thanks.
Hi. I used 3/4 inch plywood for the bed and 1/2 inch plywood for the kitchen.
Wow, it’s cool work 👍
Love the buld!! Do you have any rough plans you can share?
Pretty cool but a bit short on words!
i guess the extra piece of plywood you put in the middle floor is to double the bed width?
im wondering ab9ut height from floor to mattress, and mattress to ceiling? Are you able to sit on bed without bumping your head?

@@yury.bushev
Yes it does help!! thank you!
I'm 6'0" and figured I need 48" inside. 12 floor to butt and 36 bed to ceiling
What was used as the inlet for the diesel heater? And how was the inside duct connected to the inlet?
Is that a lot of weight for the truck? I would so love to do something like this.
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.
WHAT A FUCKING BUILD! GREAT WORK
😎👍
When you take a pothole or bump, is it okay and everything is in its exact place?
I absolutely love the water system you have there!
Are you running a 400Ah LiFePO house batther on that set up?
Thanks! It's the BLUETTI AC200MAX which has 2,048Wh (51.2V, 40Ah, LiFePO4).
Which of the many alternatives do you use to recharge that generator. and is that a 6.5' bed?@@yury.bushev

Wouldn't your cabinets fly up and around if u hit a bump super fast or off roading ?
What model stain did you use for the wood?
goods
🤯🤯🤯
What size bed is you Ram?
Thanks! That’s short bed RAM - 5-foot 7-inch
hey, I have been looking to hire someone for a build like this on a tacoma 5ft bed. do you take orders?
Hey, thanks! But no, it was just a hobby project of mine. :)
I hate videos that the person doesn’t talk.
