  • Tim's setup has everything you need and nothing you don't! Would you add anything? I loved his Lifesaver water filter so much, I decided to get one of my own. So stay tuned on a review of that, and click the link below to check out this awesome Military grade water filtration system:

    better off the direction he's gone with the insulated light shell, moreso than an overweight complicated camper, in my opinion

    Tell him that ABS is manufactured for drainage. If he rebuilds his shower with PVC (schedule 80 may be overkill but it’s for high pressure, schedule 40 will most likely work) it should hold pressure better.

    I like the mostly DYI setup. I see some similarities in mine. I am 100% disabled, and am considering doing a truck camping channel for the disabled, as there are a ton of things disabled people need to do differently. I like how your channel is growing in interesting content.

  • @michaelburroughs7494
    @michaelburroughs7494 3 года назад +9

    I had a set up similar to that. I used 1" Styrofoam to insulate and covered it with cherry wood paneling inside. It looked great, was well insulated and no rattles.

    This is one of the best set ups a person can build . I think Brian has said many times he wished he had bought the taller cap .I have moved from a truck camper to a van ,so far love it .But I have lost the lots of the off road capability

    That’s cool! We have the same topper on our truck. We pull a small Winnebago so we haven’t used it to camp in. We store our bikes back there plus a ton of other crap. It’s so much easier than climbing over the tailgate.
