    600 bucks cheap camper, but the memories that you and Troy are gonna make are priceless. The stories him and you can tell his kids then he can tell his grandkids just keeps your memory alive. Part of leaving your legacy around for a few more generations. That my friend is priceless.

    I lived almost 2 years in a slide out camper on the back of my pickup back in the 80s. But mine was not a pop up. mine had the bathroom and all. but still, it was cold in the winter. at times you could scrape ice off the inside of the windows. lol and the propane I went through running the furnace was unreal.

    • @gord2358
      @gord2358 2 года назад +1

      .Keep Up With Speedy - In the early 70's I lived in my small home-built camper for six months in Edmonton, Canada while driving for Kleysen Transport. In the winter I used an electric heater which I plugged in behind the shop. For a shower I used the Husky truck stop where you could get a shower, a towel and a bar of soap for $1.00. I had a cooler for perishables and cooked on a Coleman stove. I also had a Coleman lantern for light. For ventilation I would crack open a side window and the roof vent a bit so as not to get asphyxiated while sleeping. lol

    You won't even know it is on there! If you don't have solar I went with portable, bluetti Max, and upgraded the house battery to a 12v/300ah chins smart. Had to ad a dc-dc charger but well worth the effort. solar panels plug into the bluetti, camper plugs into the bluetti, and everything is happy. End of the day you can take everything you bought with you if you sell it. Great set up.

    Had essentially the same setup. 08 350 crew dally on 35x12.50 tires. Also had a camper shell but after opted for a Skamper slide in pop up. Loading it in the truck was a challenge. The truck is now converted to 4 wheel on 37” tires and the dually bed has been swapped for a service bed.

Triple slides and a Ca king bed, 2 flat screens 2 recliners and well everything to travel the country in. But its a load on my Dually at 7000 lbs. Then a 20 ft boat behind it.
