I had back surgery in 2006 and everytime I think of that I give the doctor who performed it a really great bow of respect...I have had no issues since or pain but the thing is that it left my bending, squatting and kneeling movements kind of..well..I can't do it like I used to. So my hat is off to you GREAT SET UP!! and I wish I could but I can't so I rather we bought a 26 foot Fifth wheel for our dream road trip of 15000 km. You are a real inspiration of ingenuity and space conservation...CHEERS TO YOU..WELL DONE!
I like the idea of the slide out for the Tacoma short bed, and you have it dialed in. I have a 3rd gen Tacoma short bed as well, but times when I would need to sleep in the back of my truck, I would need to be super stealthy at my fishing haunts to not look like I am "camping" there. I need to look like my truck is just parked and I am nowhere near it. Our coastal towns are not at all friendly to overnight parking as they see it as "camping", and required us to pay for and use an actual campground, or hotel all while not needing any of the amenities of said facilities. I'd like to be able to drive to the 1.5 to 2 hours to the coast in the evening, crash from say 10 PM to 5AM, hit the beach with the kayak, and fish all day. Then hang around the beach or a local park doing the "day camping" thing and then move into my overnight parking again at 10PM - 5AM to do all over again. Then after fishing that day, I can drive back home the 1.5 to 2 hours. Stealthy parking is my only option or get kicked out of town in the middle of the night. ALL of the campgrounds and hotels are booked solid 6-9 months out, and I cannot predict the weather conditions for safe kayak fishing out more than a week to commit to reservations. Now, I would be prone to TIG together a lightweight aluminum framed unit rather than wood so it could be stored outside when not in use, and be completely waterproof and never rot. The aluminum tubing would certainly attract condensation and would need to be foam filled after welded up to give some insulation factor, but that is doable.

This can be a functional innovation, especially for people who don't live in their vehicle for extended period (i.e., use it mostly for short excursions). When you look at the amount of money being spent to convert Sprinter vans, this conversion has the appeal of low cost and simplicity. Rather than spending $10-20K and 2-3 months on a van conversion, you can do this for a few hundred dollars and in a few days. Similarly, rather than trading in the short bed truck for a long bed model, this low-cost extension makes a short bed "sleepable." And, the extension can easily be removed when you are at home and not sleeping in the truck, whereas a conversion van has little utility when staying at home. On the other hand, if you are essentially living in the truck for extended periods in locations that experience inclement weather (i.e., you can't be outside for many hours comfortable most every day), this would be inconvenient and cramped. It also goes without saying that it is unsuitable for a two-person setup.
I have the long bed and this seems like it would be a great addition to it even though I can fit comfortably inside as is. I work for the NPS, prior USFS, and wish I had a setup like this years ago. Great to finally see this in detail. Once I find a warm workshop, I will stop by the site and pick up the plans.
Hey Nicholas, with your work for the NPS and USFS I'd be happy to send you these plans at no cost. If you wouldn't mind shooting me a message through this form (offgridbackcountryadventures.com/contact) then I'll respond with the PDF. I'd put my email address on here but the spam bots would pick it up so that's the reason for the link. Thanks for checking out the video, have a good afternoon. ~ Brian
This is super cool! I was thinking about the Ford Maverick hybrid because of its 37 mpg and pretty low starting price. But I’m 6’1 and didn’t know how to sleep in it. This extension is such a cool idea, and makes that a viable option
Very functional I live in my 30' travel trailer but have often thought of taking off without the trailer and sleep in the back of the truck. Mine is a 2002 GMC HD 4X4 and what you doing is perfect. I would love to purchase the plans for this. Thanks!

Just finished pulling a pop up camper I renovated with my 2006 dodge Dakota cross country. I've been subbed for awihle and you've been such an inspiration! I'm now working towards selling the trailer and downsizing a ton. You have the best content for it! And especially for 5' bed living. Cant wait to get back out there! Love the content
Thank you, The Life of Ant! I appreciate the kind words and am glad my videos have provided some inspiration. I'm currently in my truck topper waiting for the sun to come up at my awesome creekside campsite in the San Isabel National Forest. I hope your downsizing goes well, I too started out with too much stuff when I hit the road so I've enjoyed my experience of becoming a minimalist. The slide out extension for the 5 foot bed has worked out so well, can't believe I've been rocking this for over 4 years. Planning to do a slight remodel of my topper soon so I'll be sure to post up some videos about that. Have a great start to the week! ~ Brian

So glad I have discovered your excellent slide out extension idea, I have a shorter dual-cab canopy ute, and I like camping in it, while mine won't be exactly the same, but the whole idea of your slide in, and slide out extension box onto the tailgate is a great idea, and I will be using the same concept, Thank you.
You did a great job on that extension. I like the fact you make things work with what you already have instead of constantly changing vehicles. Maybe you and Old Man Gaylon can design your own shell now, possibly based on an AluCab/Kimbo hybrid. That would be awesome to see.
Noticed that you were reading the Empire of the Sommer moon. Wow, that book was so graphic that I had to put it down. I couldn't pick it back up for a couple of months. I'm thinking of building an ext. For my cap. Like the aluminum. Thanks for doing this video.
Thank you for the video. I was searching for a camper shell video to fit a Tundra because I was going to trade in my Tacoma. After seeing how you solved the short bed (sleeping diagonal) issue, I think I'm going to consider building an extension like you did. Appreciate you explaining everything.

I was at a job site a year ago. A guy had a camper shell with 4 actuators or whatever they call them. He did it himself. Said cast was under 200.00. It raised the camper shell up. He used it for reaching tools. I know they sell a conversion. Would be cool to raise up and have a hard side you put in place. Nice build on the camper.
Funny you say that,, I had the same idea in mind to raise my cap/shell, then insert some insulated panels, and lower it tight,,, I figure about 30" would give me a comfortable ceiling height,,

I am super curious when you close up the back at night when you are sleeping , or riding out a rainstorm, what is the condensation like inside the bed of the truck? Is there a special gadget to deal with it? Everything about this truck living is new and highly entertaining to me, but Sierra was what drew me originally to your videos so glad she is doing better. Best of luck in her next stage of treatment!
That slide out is ingenious! I got a mid sized Truck an slt Dakota n a leer top with 2 pop out windows about 8x 10”. I’m 5’ 8” I’m in the process of doing a small build . I to have a plastic bed liner that I think I’m going to cut the side walls completely out on both sides n then it will give me an extra 4-5” on each side. If I ever get to a warmer climate then northern Illinois I wouldn’t mind trying out an extension like you built. I’m a subscriber so coool to see how you handled your build kudos brother to you! Take care n keep living the dream!

Brian, how does your setup handle rain? I'm curious as to how you keep moisture from getting into the cabin area through the door, or behind the box itself. This is definitely one of the most innovative truck camping setups I've seen.
Robin Burkey thanks! I really like how this extension has worked out over the past year, makes sleeping much more comfortable. The BioLite 620 is a great solar light and small battery bank solution for my topper, I love it!
you have done a great job on the outside of the truck as far as hang out area goes. Like you said who would not want an 8 ft bed to lay in . We all do our truck toppers to suit us. You make this Tx camper so want to spend more time in the Rockies.

Hi and thanks for the video. I loved this idea so much that I purchased your plans and am beginning my customized build next wknd. What did you do to fill the gaps on the sides between the extension and bed?
Hey Rob, thanks for purchasing a copy of the design guide! I used a 4 inch foam air conditioner seal to tuck in the space between the extension and truck bed. If you have any questions s while you do your buildout then feel free to email me directly - brian@coloradobackcountryadventures.com.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I run an Airbnb business out in the country and when I can get free time from the job I like to snowboard, but sleeping in the 5 foot bed is tough for me since I’m 6 feet too. I have the same truck, I didn’t want a long bed for similar reasons, and sir what you have done here is ingenious! Like they say necessity is the mother of invention! Liked, subscribed, and most likely also buying your design plans as well. 😂 Update. Just bought the plans. $5 for them is more than reasonable! Thanks a ton. 👍🏕
Where is Sierra? Never mind. I heard you say. I live in the Texas hill country. Not much in the winter here. Hotter than hell in the summer! I would love to live where I have snowy winters!

That looks so comfy
What an awesome idea. Just ordered the plans.

Very cool
It’s great:)
Can you lock it so you can feel secure while sleeping?
I drove cross country years ago in a Nissan pickup with a cap and I would sleep in the back
It is wonderful to keep it simple and nimble
Great design

Brian, how does your setup handle rain? I'm curious as to how you keep moisture from getting into the cabin area through the door, or behind the box itself. This is definitely one of the most innovative truck camping setups I've seen.

It looks so cozy in there, it just seems scary having things out in the open at night

That’s neat
Very nice setup.
Very creative Sir
I wanna see Sierra in there with you.
That looks more comfy than my home bed :( lol
Gabriel Vazquez it’s pretty dang comfy once I’ve got it all set up!
Nice.
Great camper extension. Love the biolite 620
Robin Burkey thanks! I really like how this extension has worked out over the past year, makes sleeping much more comfortable. The BioLite 620 is a great solar light and small battery bank solution for my topper, I love it!
really clever!
I'll try to do this to my Hilux
you have done a great job on the outside of the truck as far as hang out area goes. Like you said who would not want an 8 ft bed to lay in . We all do our truck toppers to suit us. You make this Tx camper so want to spend more time in the Rockies.

Simple & complex
Cool man!
Hi and thanks for the video. I loved this idea so much that I purchased your plans and am beginning my customized build next wknd. What did you do to fill the gaps on the sides between the extension and bed?
Hey Rob, thanks for purchasing a copy of the design guide! I used a 4 inch foam air conditioner seal to tuck in the space between the extension and truck bed. If you have any questions s while you do your buildout then feel free to email me directly - brian@coloradobackcountryadventures.com.

Well thought out...great job
Great set up ..great ideas
Absolute genius!
Sick setup! 👍🏻
Looks good, I see a Tenkara sticker there. You need to do some Tenkara videos.
Daryl Hawkins good idea! I have been fishing with Tenkara for four years and love it! I’ll dial in some videos about fishing here soon.
Nice setup!
thank you!
I know this is a old video, I wanted to know where you installed the little solar panel that came with your BioLite?
amazing im inspired
no insulation on the extension? neat idea.
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I run an Airbnb business out in the country and when I can get free time from the job I like to snowboard, but sleeping in the 5 foot bed is tough for me since I’m 6 feet too. I have the same truck, I didn’t want a long bed for similar reasons, and sir what you have done here is ingenious! Like they say necessity is the mother of invention! Liked, subscribed, and most likely also buying your design plans as well. 😂
Update. Just bought the plans. $5 for them is more than reasonable! Thanks a ton. 👍🏕

I like the idea of the extension....will it leak if raining?
Good job 👍
Where is Sierra? Never mind. I heard you say. I live in the Texas hill country. Not much in the winter here. Hotter than hell in the summer! I would love to live where I have snowy winters!
Love the setup bro! Tempting to try on my tacoma

@@ottouring I now have a 5x10 cargo trailer that I converted to a RV setup. More room, easy to tow and sleep 😴 💤 in. I plan on selling it after my off grid cabin is done. Good luck, Mike in the USA 🇺🇸
Perfect!
I found you through Down2Mob (not subscribed, just recommended by RUclips over on the right hand side video feeds) and just built up a hybrid 5' Tacoma('08) bed set up. Thanks for the inspiration through your earlier videos of which I have scoured! Complete with storage bin tips from you. Great info, used your videos for most of my inspiration. Thanks for sharing and look forward to watching more!
Seth Beiden thanks for checking out my build videos, I love sharing my experiences truck camping and this setup has made things much more comfortable! Phil is awesome, I love hanging with Down2Mob!

Fine vid Brian!
You speak as if the exact same thing is possible for all trucks of all sizes and models. What's your specific truck brand and model?
NICE
