  • DO NOT STORE PROPANE TANK HORIZONTALLY UNLESS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT ORIENTATION.
    This camper design was based on various ideas taken from the Internet and some of our own. Thank you Colin Leslie for the great work. Also, thanks to all those that gave us ideas.

    Man, I've been watching truck camper mods for a quite a while over the past 2 years and this has to be one of the best if not the best out there. Congrats on an awesome job

    This is the best craftsmanship I've seen on a truck storage project. Having owned many trucks with toppers, the two things I would do is 1) get rid of the clamps and bolt the topper to the truck rails using some fender washers and lock nuts, and 2) add a tail gate weatherstrip. Every truck I've owned sucks dust through the tail gate on dirt roads.

    • @crystalwing1985
      @crystalwing1985 6 лет назад

      where does the tailgate weather stip go? Does it fit between the shell and tailgate lip or vertical on the tailgate where it sits against the truck? TIA

    That's an amazingly nice build! I sure wish I had those kind of carpentry skills. I've pretty much resigned myself to a wal-mart cot and several bins for storage. Compared to that, your build is pure luxury. Enjoy!

    This is my favorite minimalist camper mod I've seen so far. Space for the essentials, but you still get to drive a low profile, normal size vehicle. Nice work!

  • @Smoothboxnailer

    Sweet set-up! Probably the best craftsmanship of any carpet/camping kit I've seen! Thanks for that..

    Just came across the video this week.
    This is really great job and we are very impressed with the functionality and the craftsmanship of your work..
    My wife and I also have a 6x12 Cargo Trailer we use for multi-use.
    And have found that the tuck away pockets make a huge difference in making things work well.
    #BeSafe take care.

    The original striped ones came with the mattresses. We later bought one queen size from Amazon because the originals were getting worn.

    Other than the propane tank, it look good. ;-)
    If that's an approved horizontal propane tank, you're ok but it's required if stored within the space it must be in an air tight box.
    It also needs to have ventilation at the lowest point (propane is heavier then air) or mount it under the bed in a box for protection from debris.

  • @CakewalkHootenanny
    @CakewalkHootenanny 2 года назад

    I also have been watching camper mod videos and I think this is the nicest build I have seen. At the end I can see an organized corner of extensive tools so I am not surprised by what you can do. Geez, it is nice. The bed must be 8 feet because those tri fold pads are a few inches over 6 feet and you had room to have that open box at the front of the bed. I would like to see it decked out with gear just to put a cherry on top of the whipped cream. Again, wow!

    Cool set up Ian. I'm looking to do something similar but geared more towards overlanding applications. You obviously have much more room with the larger bed. I have a 2017 Tacoma. I appreciate all the offered resources. Most guys don't really give away their ideas or "secrets". Safe travels.
