    After owning a Westfalia, I dreamed up this camper for my Tacoma for about $500. It has dedicated storage compartments for boards, outdoor living gear, kitchen supplies, clothes, water, food and more.

    Hi there, I saw your vid. I've been truck camping since the mid 80's. Back when rainbows were black & white. Here's what I've learned & I'll pass them on to you.
    1) Get stuff you need at a camping store for backpacking. It's small, compact, & light weight.
    2)Get splash guards for your truck. It'll help keep you & your rig clean. They work. I know.
    3) When parking for the night, park headlong into the wind. That way if a storm comes you won't have to worry about a side wind ripping off your camper shell. Plus, if anything comes bouncing towards the truck, since you have a slimmer profile, it might miss you. If it does hit, the front of the truck is reinforced.
    4) Use bug spray on the interior doors & windows/ screens openings to help keep bugs out. Use wasp & hornet spray around & on your tires to help keep critters out. Basically, all points of contact on the ground.
    5) An inch is a lot of room. Learn how to stack & get used to sand & dirt. Use floor mats to put your shoes on too
    6)Air out your sleeping area every morning or often. In an enclosed space the air gets stale & it will smell like feet & assholes. I know this from being in an 80 man berthing when I was in THE NAVY!
    7)Use a small fan to circulate the air in your sleeping area. This will help prevent hot & cold spots from forming & help prevent condensation & mold & mildew from forming.
    8)Use a solid hooded sweatshirt. Draw the hood tight when you sleep to help encapsulate body heat. It can double as a pillow/ dirty clothes holder/ gear carrier.
    I hope this helps. Great vid, thanks for sharing. Drive safe. 🤠

    Dude... I've been researching Tacoma bed camper set ups, I'm so glad i stumbled upon yours. Thanks for taking the time to upload and make the video. I currently have a roof top tent that I love, but isn't going to work for cross country travel and stealth camping. Great setup, I'll definitely take your build into thought when the time comes. Stay Fresh

    Pretty cool for a solo set up. If you do go off-road in dusty conditions you may want a bedrug system or use positive pressure. The composite Tacoma bed lets a ton of dust inside.

  • @trestenpool9045

    Those drawer slides where did you get them? How much weight can they hold and how long do they extend out? Great setup I am looking to do something similar but hard to find those slides.

  • @kenkozma9894
    @kenkozma9894 6 лет назад

    What?! No construction tools?😀
    I say that because I allways have to compromise the kind of coolness
    yours has, because I always have to figure a way to blend the two.
    You have a lot of cool ideas in that puppy.
