    Nice rig! Last spring I picked up a 96 Jayco pop up for $3500. No heater but has AC, shower and cassette toilet. Canvas and vinyl in excellent shape. Home away from home.

    Outstanding find. I like it a lot. Great escapes into the wilderness and enjoy bug outs. Crazy world out there and using this camper is a stress reliever.

    Very nice man. Great video. Man that pop up brings back memories. My family and I grew up in pop ups. Use to take them to the beach for two weeks at a pop. Right on the beach lol. Those soft sides and can a beating with the ocean breeze. They will last if you take care of them! We had a palmetto pop up! I actually would love to get one now with my wife. I’m 38 now we really want one soon. By the way remember We did that trade for flashlights and I traded you my brous blade silent solider flipper !! That was awhile ago now lol.

    Wow fantastic video good luck with the new camper looks to be a winner hopefully the heater just needed to be blown out of old propane. That was a hour seemed to be a lot less time. The stew chili looked really good was that the chain saw that you needed to get for the tree that hit your house? Glad to see that you are very safe and comfortable using it like champion hate to see some videos that are unsafe. Let us know how the heater worked out just in case it ever happens to us. Stay safe and see you on the next one Ben.

      Nice to be able to eat your chili at your dinette and to have a real bed! We have a travel trailer but we just bought a Jayco popup to get into smaller rustic spots.

    Concur. Like the idea to keep your camp set and the availability to use the truck. Could you extend the unit for a bathroom connection? How do you set the bathroom unit?

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  2 года назад

      Just a simple bucket toilet works. My daughter wouldn’t use the vault toilet at the last campground so we got a toilet and she used it just fine.

    My favorite kind of camping. Solo, new equipment, “luxury “ of the popup. Nice drawer system in the bed. Question: why use “Dawn” instead of Dr. Bronners? Hope you put away the stabilize, before you left. I’ve made that mistake.

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  2 года назад

      If dawn is good enough for animals it’s good enough for me.

    How much weight can you have on the beds as it extends outward?

  • @zero11010
    @zero11010 2 года назад +1

    Curious to hear what your fuel economy and range are when you’re towing this when it’s laden with whatever supplies you plan to really have on hand. If this is your bug out plan, that matters. 👍

    • @livingsurvival
      @livingsurvival  2 года назад +2

      Lose about 3-4mpg when towing it. It’s pretty light.

    • @zero11010
      @zero11010 2 года назад

      @@livingsurvival I’m not familiar with your truck. Is that a 20% reduction in fuel economy? So, your range on a full 21 gallons is about 330 miles give or take. Does that sound about right?
      I see roughly 23 mpg highway for your truck. That’s without weight. I’m assuming the weight you’ve got with a nearly full bed lowers that by 1-2 mpg (about 10%) and another 3-4 from the trailer. So, roughly 20% or so reduction in range.
      But, all of that may be thrown out the window because you’re using after market tires and wheels and mentioned something else about suspension that may be a lift.
      So, your fuel economy could be a bit different from the advertised 20 city and 23 highway even without the hundreds of pounds of gear in the back and also the camper plus the content within the camper.
      I’m curious about the impact of a trailer like this. I was thinking about getting one a few years ago.
      Thanks for the video. 👍

    I've had 2 propane tanks fail in a row now. Tank valve won't send the gas through. I use older tanks with higher capicty now.

    • @oldredcoonhound2182
      @oldredcoonhound2182 2 года назад +2

      The new tanks have a safety valve. If you open the tank to fast and it causes a pressure bump it will close down to a very minimal flow. Need to close the tank valve again and open slowly might be your issue
