So I fish bass tournaments and I have many that are hours away from home. This is what I'm planning to do to have a place to sleep for multi day tournaments away from home instead of getting a hotel room for 100 plus a night! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
A long way from tree houses and forts we built as kids with scrap wood. The feeling of freedom still remains. You did an outstanding job on this rig with craftsmanship and thought process. Its always an outstanding night when a new BWO and CrazyQuady adventure pop. Enjoy that rig to the fullest.
I'm right there with you with the idea of "less is more". I plan on using my tent as much as possible but have the option of staying in the back of my F-150 if the weather is terrible or I don't feel safe enough camping outside alone. I will watch these other videos with elaborate setups but just to find that small, little detail that I could use for my setup, like Quady's cot organizer, that was a genius idea! Awesome video 😁
Totally agree my friend, I live in new brunswick Canada and we have bears truly big bears and lots of them I use to tend a fair bit but not no more it's gotten to risky given the high bear population, Brian did an awsome job with his truck and so much safer.
I have a small off-road camper, so I'm not sure why I watched this entire video other than it was totally cool! Minimalist and efficient...well done thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is such an amazing build, I love watching the ingenuity of peoples builds but always ask myself "why" when it comes to stuffing them to the brim with features as clever as they are. The simplicity to me is what draws me to your builds.
My truck is similar. Same grey interior😀 tho I added very high quality turf to the floor of my 8ft truck bed. It ensures that the Bedrug does not get worn out and the turf is so thick it holds on to stuff that get put back there. It also insulates it. Being an 8ft box I had room to build an storage shelf at the front of the box about 18 inches deep. The shelf rest on the top ledge of the bed rail. It’s mostly used to store tools for work but doubles as storage for camping. My wife and I have used the truck to go to summer music festivals and avoid the $350 min per night hotel cost. Plus it’s fun.
I just started my build and I’m so excited I worked so hard to buy the truck now I gotta work harder to finish my build. Built my bed today and tomorrow I’m installing the storage system
This really brings into perspective to build it as you intend to use it. I'm 100% guilty of this having watched way too many videos and way too many designs of how am I going to fit everything in it when in actuality I'm like you.... 1 or 2 nights doesn't need too much or to be fancy. Great job!
I've been thinking about building a truck bed camper system. I appreciate how you "dummy'd" down some of your build ideas, ie the carpet isn't carpet. Knowing what other builders have used or changed out with what works better for areas of the overall build is so very helpful and yall express that it's perfectly OK to copy yalls ideas that work. Thank you and you'll be seeing my own video once my build is done along with upgraded air suspension kit on my 2014 F150.
This is my dream build. Don't sound defensive about your battery setup. I honestly would have less. As long as you got water and you are dry, this is a very comfortable rig that you could easily live in.
I live out of my 2014 f150 5 to 6 days a week right now, decked bed system, xxl teton cot matress, set power 45qt refer, bluetti solar generator 716 watt hours, scheels foot locker for auto tools and canned goods sitting on a rubber mat to keep from sliding around, my truck is the 5.0 supercrew 36 gal tank and 6.5 or 6.7 bed. 3 go bags 1 with clothes, 1 for shower products, the misc. in the backseat. Works well for me. Do need a higher watt hr generator and panels. Figuring 2 yrs living like this to get back where I was before SITF.
I was wandering around RUclips and came across your video. I have an F-250, same camper shell, same BedRug, and I have sketches for the same layout, only my bed will be on the driver's side because of how I sleep. We must be on the same wavelength!! I want a clean, minimalist setup. Years ago I built a teardrop that I love, but there are times I head out into the desert to join friends on our outdoor adventures and I don't need to drag along a trailer. Great video!
Just a suggestion coming from a die hard truck winter camper in Canada I have a Milwaukee M-12 fan with strong magnets and a 2*4 spring loaded grabber engineered into it The purpose for this fan is to circulate air to prevent humidity and mold in the small camper shell I even use this fan at minus 30 blowing on low near a partially open window along with my heater The fan easily runs all night on its own rechargeable battery
Love the simplicity of the build, for a good washroom idea try a hunters loo, its a 5 gallon bucket with a lid designed as a toilet seat, toilet paper fits on the carry handle, and they make custom heavy duty double sealed bags. (Best option for comfort, privacy and hygiene (numero dos only imo) considering you can rock a leak against a tree. When done, seal the bag, place it in a garbage bag with the rest of your trash, and keep it all stored in a trasharoo for the easiest convenience. Wish my Jeep was long enough to sleep in the back, but ive grown comfort with having separate sleeping accommodations, roof top tents seem great until you want to go for a quick rip for firewood or to a neat spot
OK ! Here is the deal ! I'm bringing my Tacoma over to you next Monday, I want my tuck to look exactly like yours in one week. Thats ample time for you to complete the job ! I will fly into DFW the following week to pick up my truck. You must pick me up at the airport BTW . I hope this isn't going to be any problem for you ! See you Monday afternoon ! Have a great weekend ! 🤣
Finally, someone who thinks like me. I too am a side sleeper and sleep on my right side. I see all the build outs with the bed on the left side and think nope. Anyway, great set up.
You could always put a seatbelt from the top of the rail of your truck to the bottom of your bed to keep you from Falling out of the bed like they have a big trucks
This would be perfect for me, especially since I don't need to add the bed--I have always slept on the floor at home. I've been looking at RVs, but this makes so much more sense for the kind of short hiking / climbing trips I take. Thanks for the pro tips!
I really like the K.I.S.S. principle and you definitely nailed it..... Give this a shot and it may work for you but i took out the center sliding glass in the cap to make it bigger and a bike tube blown up between the cab and the bed to keep the elements out....... I weigh 195 lbs 36 waist and i can get through it if needed. (06' Dodge Ram) Just a thought 🙂
I camp like how he does except I have a porta potty. I LOVE having a campershell with a bed/porta potty in it. When I’m tired on a road trip, my dog and I park in a parking lot and take a nap. When I go camping, I just back in and that’s it. No setting up anything. The only thing I don’t like is when I go camping I feel like I’m wasting $50 a night because all I do is park my truck in a campsite. Other than that, I love camping out of the back of my truck.
... we were separated at birth! You're a amost a clean freak like me!! From the look of your garage, to the way you keep your camping supplies contained is me all over. :)) I wish you were my neighbor- I could learn so much and have a blast. I bought a new '23 STX, so not sure when I can afford a camper shell. I carry the dream. Best wishes, Brian!
Absolutely 💯 LOVE the streamlined build! Functional without all the fussy fluff. Also, love the extra room for PIG too. She's gonna adore the new setup. Can't wait until you post a camp video in it. Bravo well done. ✔.
I liked your video SO much that I had to subscribe. I have watched so many of these videos to give me ideas for my Ranger, but they are all so crazy. Your awesome clever build is SO COOL !! I do not want a kitchen, shower, TV, toilet, etc. I just need a place to lie down on any future road trips so as to not waste money on hotels. Thank you for showing me your pickup. Cheers from Montreal, Qc.
Very nice Truck Build!! Brian I own a small Foam Fabrication company in North Carolina. You are correct about electric carving knives. For small jobs at home they are the best thing to use. I hope you enjoy your new rig!!
Hi Brian, NICE (perfect) SET UP. You also did not share that the padding on the bottom of the bed rug fits the contours of the ribbed metal floor of the truck bed making the floor real smooth, flat and comfortable. I have a bed rug in my cab height Leer topper. I also have no need for plumbing. If I want I can put a luggable loo in the truck. We are old, so we do not freeze if we were stuck and broke down in the winter I keep 2 ECWSS military Extreme Cold Weather Sleep System's (a fancy name for a sleeping bag set up rated to minus 40 below zero with proper layering) they are comfortable. We do a lot of interstate traveling to see the kids and grandkids, but we usually have our Forest River travel trailer with us. We have a 2022 Silverado, crew cab, 6 1/2' bed, Z71, with the 3.0 Duramax. I haven't done the Reflectx yet. There is a trick to improve the "R" rating on the Reflectx. Spray glue the speaker box material to it, so the material goes between the glass and the Reflectx. Velcro install it above and below the window's that will give you a slight air gap and stop conduction from the glass through the Reflectx. Would you consider building another bed and dresser set up exactly the same as yours? I would get the same Goal Zero unit and the same Lithium back up battery.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors Would you consider building another bed and dresser set up exactly the same as yours? I would get the same Goal Zero unit and the same Lithium back up battery.
I like that set up I really do. It’s a real good job. Thanks for the video. The only thing I would do different, but I would understand why you might not do it as it would put some more weight on your truck. I would’ve used a different canopy. I would’ve went with a smart cap. I like the negative pressure vent which prevents dust from building up in the back of your camper when you drive down Dusty Roads. I also like that it is marketed as weatherproof and not just weather resistant.. I like the fact it has small little windows or you can open up the entire side panels and of course it’s made from stainless steel so it’s strong and you can put a roof rack on top and store some significant weight. The downside to this is it is more expensive and it is heavier. But really enjoy the video. I like watching what people do.
Looks great! I saw someone else ask in the comments and your answer about the a/c when it gets nasty hot. Excited to see the solution when it’s needed. Plenty of room to stretch out the toes.
Thank you. One of the best builds I’ve seen for simplicity and function. Im getting ideas i want to build a setup that is easy to install and remove because i still want use my truck bed when not camping
I've just discovered your channel today Brian, and will be watching your other vids. Thanks for covering your setup! It renews my hope of doing the same/similar with my F-150. I sort of gave up after watching others YT'ers and 99% of them have either permanent or semi-permanent camper cap builds. My issue was, like you, wanting to still be able to use the bed for hauling, etc. Your system seems to make it a breeze.
I use some paracord around my topper lock levers on the inside the width of the topper & it makes it super easy to pull the topper door shut, whether you are inside or standing on the ground.
Brian… what an awesome build! I am so excited for you and I can’t wait to see all of your adventures with the new truck and camper! Enjoy brother and thanks for sharing with all of us! ❤
Simple and clean build! My only "complaint" would be the goal zero, but everyone has their preference and needs, I just think you can get better for the money. Solar battery tech has come such a long way and goal zero is the dinosaur now. As long as it works for you though that's all that matters, happy camping!
Thanks. I kinda agree on the GZ being that most of these are lead acid. This particular one is Li-Ion and still not lifepo4 though. But, the inverter on it is extremely solid and puts out a solid 120 volts at full load. I also like the 30amp dc output. I have quite a few power stations and will prob swap out soon to an Ecoflow River Pro to test out, but this is cutting it for now👍🏻
When the wife says you’re on the couch pssssh I’m goin in the truck baby 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂👍🏻
I still have my boys intact so I don't do what I'm told😁👍
I appreciated the simplicity and attention to detail. Keeping it uncomplicated keeps the stress away.
Are you from IL??
Kool
This is a very smart design for 1-2 night stays and provides safe, dry sleeping without messing with a tent, ect. Thank you.
Thanks Kenneth👍🏻
There is so many creature comforts in this, I’d love this setup! The heated blanket idea is genius!
Thanks👍🏻
A 12v car seat cover will do you for your seat and also for your bed

One of the coolest 'minimalist' builds that I have seen. Thanks for sharing.

I know. I got lazy👍🏻😂

this has to be the most simplest and most useful truck bed sleeper set up for a weekend getaway.

When you go to truck stops, see if they have wool blanks that will fit that bed. When parking that truck for a time put on a boot-lock on front tire.
Good point👍🏻👍🏻

Brian… what an awesome build! I am so excited for you and I can’t wait to see all of your adventures with the new truck and camper! Enjoy brother and thanks for sharing with all of us! ❤
Thanks so much Jay👍🏻
Most excellent build. A far cry from stuff at home & walmart. That's what I had to use. Drive safe. 🤠
Thanks👍🏻
Excellent I use pouches also for everything
Great minimalist setup
Thank you 👍🏻
Man I love what you have done with the place. Very nice and great ideas for space saving. Very cool!
Thank you👍🏻
That's the most clean camper build !!!
Thanks👍🏻
Simple and clean build! My only "complaint" would be the goal zero, but everyone has their preference and needs, I just think you can get better for the money. Solar battery tech has come such a long way and goal zero is the dinosaur now. As long as it works for you though that's all that matters, happy camping!
Thanks. I kinda agree on the GZ being that most of these are lead acid. This particular one is Li-Ion and still not lifepo4 though. But, the inverter on it is extremely solid and puts out a solid 120 volts at full load. I also like the 30amp dc output. I have quite a few power stations and will prob swap out soon to an Ecoflow River Pro to test out, but this is cutting it for now👍🏻
Thanks for the great video. I’ve got the same leer topper and I also have the bed rug in both of my trucks.
Thanks👍🏻
Really cool build. I love the locking system you came up with too
Thank you
