    Hey Chris & Elizabeth: My wife and I have done a lot of different types of RV's over the years (VW Eurovan, pop-up tow trailer, 30' 5th wheel, 26' trailerable sailboat (for land and water!), Rav4 with backpacking tent, etc). We love the road less travelled, rarely travel on highways.... we use 80% county roads, forest roads, logging roads, etc. For us, we've realized Smaller Is Better! A pop-up truck camper on our F250 4x4 turbodiesel is our next (final??) rig. I've been watching a ton of YT videos... your style is PERFECT for the type of travel-living we do. Thanks for all the excellent ideas... outstanding!

    For windows, we installed 3010 (three feet wide by a foot tall) dual-pane sliders designed for a stand-still house.
    We mounted these at our eye-level standing inside, about eight feet above pavement.
    .
    We like the high light.
    Lower windows:
    * invite passers-by to look in
    * create ceiling shadows
    * are a convenient target for branches and jealous by-standers.

    Excellent and informative video, Chris & Elizabeth!!! I have been impressed with the set-up you chose since you imbibed on this adventure!! Honestly, I have followed you three now for quite a while and have always been impressed with the ingenuity you guys have no matter the circumstance. I've always had older vehicles (with the exception of one 1997 Dodge Truck) and because of the simpler electronics in them, tend to trust them more than new ones. Also, my old brain seems to be stuck in around 2000-2002 and new technology now seems to scare me more than excite me. Looks like you found a lovely place to ditch the Holidaze hustle and bustle but, I know you'll be on the road again to another interesting and fun destination soon. I'm really happy that you had a good Christmas and that Santa was good to you and I hope that 2024 is a year of Amazing, Fun and Hilarious Adventures and I pray for trouble free travels no matter where you roam!! Love to you both and Mona!!,....and just like Santa Claus, I'm always watching!! 👀❤

I bought a couple of foldable tables that I use if I have to be inside. they fit perfectly and fit in the under the bed storage when not in use. the two final things I need for my camper is a new outside shower and a replacement affordable 12V compressor fridge.

      Over the decades and decades ago, we had two FourWheelCampers.
      .
      Based on our experiences with those soft-siders, plus delivering RecreateVehicles manufacturers-to-dealers and dealers-to-shows, we built our ExpeditionVehicle on a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck.
      We mounted a standard P&D box -- 7.5' x 12' -- so it is 'hard-side'.
      To prep the box, I removed the rear roll-up door, then fabricated a steel wall with a steel door.
      .
      We pared our exterior set-up to pretty much zero, so we get to camp and everything is pretty much ready to use.
      Bugging-out is pretty much a matter of kicking the tires and lighting the fires.
      On two occasions, that came in handy after nearby fires got too close for comfort.
      .
      We raise and train Heelers, the herding dogs.
      They understand a certain tone of my voice if we are in potential danger, so they loaded-up and were in their kennels before the air built to release the brakes.
      We play a lot, and our emergency load-up is just another game for them.
      .
      We come from camping families, plus we traveled with caravans headed by experienced 'Wagon-Masters', so a lot of our skills are merely absorbed by osmosis... hanging out with geezers.

    Great info on everything. I hadn't heard the different system for the roof solar. If you haven't yet, led bulbs or a whole new system work great to use less juice...need to do that with a friend's tent trailer we occasionally use. I just saw a pickup at the gas station that had his traction boards with a lock on the end of two of his mounting posts. If yours aren't, you might want to add that or a cable. It's more hassle, but those things are pricey, though that was the first I noticed ones with locks on them.

I understand you guys do this full-time but I wouldn't find it enjoyable if I had to drag all that stuff with me. Also a suggestion on the shower setup I also switch to the more flexible stainless hose you may want to put an elbow bracket coming out of the force so the host doesn't stick straight out like that. I bumped into mine and broke it. I put the elbow on it and never had that problem again.

      It’s the best investment after the leaf springs 😂 The weather can really dictate if it’s an outside day on the e-bikes, motorcycle, or boat to explore where we are and workout…those are typically filming days. Or an inside day is editing and researching for the next video/location. The research takes up most of our time. Finding new places that are unique/interesting, where you can camp, where you can ride e-bikes/motorcycles, learning confusing fishing regulations, etc. There are endless rules/restrictions when it comes to outdoor recreation, so we read forums, scroll websites, and search google maps/OnX for hours.

      I lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for 9 years, as a construction worker,
      1971 thru 1980. Weather is always HOT and humid, ceptin' for maybe a month in winter. I missed the 4 seasons.I then moved to the northern California foothills (Placerville),
      In 1981, built my own house, and 43 years later, I'm in the same house. There is nowhere in the United States that has better weather than California. The political arena sucks, but we stay for the weather and the diverse beauty.. Northern Cali foothills is where it's at. No tornados, no earthquake faults, at least in my area, no deep freezes, no giant palm tree roaches and hardly ever a very windy day, because the Sierra Nevada mountains protect us from the east winds. The weather makes it a paradise. Unfortunately, Newsom, and his cronies, are doing their best to make it hard to live here, financially.

    • @CandEAdventures
      @CandEAdventures  6 месяцев назад +1

      We have had zero issues with cooling with the box in front, or the motorcycle. Ours is a manual so I can’t speak for automatic transmission temps. I think the additional storage is defiantly worth it

      That dribble is by design.
      The constant flow helps prevent one (or the other) temperature water from over-powering the carefully set comfortable shower.
      Without a dribble, as you re-start the flow, you would get a burst of the dominant temperature.
      .
      And there goes your whole fung schway.

  • @noneya61

    So I have a few questions if I may?
    - if you guys don’t use the toilet in the camper, what do you use for a toilet?
    - how is the pop top in extreme cold, presuming you’ve used it as such, and extreme heat, do you use your AC unit and what do you run it on?
    - have you ever weighed your rig loaded and empty?
    - if so What is the loaded weight?
    - what is the empty (dry) weight?
    - What is the GVWR and payload capacities of your F250?
    I’m really curious because I have a ram 2500 diesel but my payload is only 1986 pounds. My towing is 10,000 so that really kind of leaves me dead in the water as far as using a truck camper which is why I bought it to begin with.

    Quick question: I've heard many pop-ups experience loud "popping" and "flapping" canvas in high winds. Has this been an issue for you?

    • @CandEAdventures
      @CandEAdventures  21 день назад

      If the wind is fairly constant in one direction the wind noise is negligible. We have had some noisy nights though when the wind speed is gusty and turbulent. Rain is surprisingly much louder than the wind in most cases.

    • @CandEAdventures

      Not insulated at all. It’s like a convertible top. Awesome when the weathers nice but not the best choice otherwise. In hot weather you have a ton of ventilation with all the windows though and almost 360 views from inside the camper. You get a lot of noise if it’s windy also.
