Awesome build! Great balance of comfort and storage. I’d love to see how you attached the bed and side cubby to the truck bed
Yes, please make another video on the heater build
That is a sweet build, all the comforts of home while out exploring, living life. What is the mattress, how did you get it that perfect size?
I ordered the mattress foam from "Foam Factory" cut to my specified size. Probably not the cheapest way to do it, but sourcing and cutting mattress foam DIY sounded like far too much work vs just buying it that way IMO
Dude I’ve been searching videos for a long time trying to figure out the most modular way to do this and those sliding squares were exactly the answer! Nice job! Thank you
That's great! Glad it provided some ideas!
awesome video thank you. Once your heater reaches the temperature you set it at, does it shut down automatically and then kicks back on once the temperature drops below your set temperature?
Yes it does. It operates with a standard type thermostat. It heats to target temp, shuts off, and then kicks on again after the temp drops (I think it's 3 or 4deg below target before it turns back on... can't recall offhand)
What happen to this channel
I heard he died 🤷
@@calebplumleeoutdoors wow 😯 that's sad
It’s sweet for anything! Love it! Yes! Tell us how.
Really cool winter setup you got. I was considering a space heater to beat the canadian winter, but your propane heater looks way better. Awesome!
I'm definitely going to check that heater out. Great efficient build.
If you hooked up a battery isolator you could charge your agm battery with the truck when it’s running.
Nice build.
very cool!!
Brilliant bed set up..
They also make carpeted floor liners also,floor and sides
Yeah, for sure the carpet would be nice and maybe add a tiny bit more warmth by restricting drafts too... butbi was too cheap for that!
I hope that you still run a carbon monoxide alarm.
Carbon monoxide and propane detector fully installed!
Propane heater... not very economical. The exhaust is tucked way under the truck so exhaust can collect under the truck if there is no wind and potentially end you. That exhaust should be pointed away from the underside of the truck a little past the edge of the outside of the truck. Or you can actually buy a port hole that installs onto the outside body of your truck and you attach the exhaust to it under the truck and it makes a clean looking exhaust hole safely to the outside of your truck. Then you have the propane take right in there with you... it's just not even worth the risk. You should have went with a diesel heater.
🎶Baby I'm a firework🎶 🎆
26:40 power inverter. how long does it take to charge?
@@kyleloydmckinney yeah. There are setups to ensure you can charge via the alternator and not drain your battery... but I've been too lazy to wanna run the wires! 😅 Charging the battery via extension cord overnight works well enough for now since it's convenient for me. One night will top it off from drained
add a small fan?
A fan would be nice when its warm out, but the heater unit moves a decent amount of air itself when it's running.
9:30 "plenty of room to...'get around in' "
😉
i drilled som holes in the side lid which I use to open them. under the matras I have 3 boxes with the same system as your side box also with lids and holes to store my stuff. the big board you use to expand your bed floor is cutted in 3 peaces. one is small enough to be placed vertical and than use it as a backrest when I sit in the canopy. the other can be used as a (night)table when you need to sit inside during wet weather. that gives you the possibility to sit straight in your canopy to eat or read or doing whatever you like to do. if I need to transport something big then you still can complete your platform by completing all tree of the boards. I don't know if my explanation is a little bit clear but if you need pictures send me a message by messenger.
Since heat rises, move your outflow vent as low as possible. It will help heat the floor area and still rise to the top.
awesome heat exchanger. I have a 96gmc with mx series A.R.E cap..its a bit taller than cab and aero'd to be smooth appearing. (Reminds me of a mini w900 aerodyne LOL). You can fit amilitary sized cot, at 77 inches. ..the entire underneath can be used for storage, I have actually come to the conclusion, our 6ft 6 beds are made for standard gurneys... like medical emergency people use. Thanks for sharing.
No toilet ?
All of nature
I can't imagine pooping in such a small place... especially with a partner. I'll just lean and grunt one out the window if I get too desperate
New Subscriber here hoping to get a truck cap for my truck and doing something like this for quick on the fly camping for my dog and i , great build very pratical and useing the space great.
Thanks! It's a fun journey
so technically you can use this mod on larger buddy heater to control energy output.
if your gear is poly and nylon....its plastic fiber stuff. Crap. Next season go for Wool and natural fibers.
Ditch the propane heat. Diesel heaters are the only way to go.
come on maaan !
Valid opinion. I went propane purely for convenience and lack of smell... I can't stand sleeping with the smell of diesel if it gets on me or off gasses
Some people are willing to take a pice of carbon fiber miles beneath the ocean to prove their point you won’t even step outside in a skidoo suit in -6 American for a minute to prove yours.
Btw. Most solid set up I’ve seen yet.
Dude i get this is a year old video but its amazing. Im now getting everything i need to build mine. I have. A Z71 im gonna build like this. Thanks!!
very useful video -- I have an ARE too (w/ side doors, barn-door back doors (no tailgate) -- I like your setup and I think I'll use this as a design to use for my own topper! equally useful in this video is your report of how well this works as temp lodging -- I live in MS but have property in ND -- ca 1600 miles between these points. having something like this would almost make the cost for diesel fuel (for the truck engine) almost free (if based on possibly 5 nights motel lodging). you're right though about the Propex HS2000 -- they aren't cheap.
Yeah, that propex was brutal on the wallet, but I don't regret it thus far. It works for my specific case. Nothing wrong with diesel units either. Just different tradeoffs
@@calebplumleeoutdoors thank you!
You can hook up the battery to the truck with a selonoid. It will charge only when the ignition is on. Great build thanks 😊
Hello thanks for sharing
nice setup this is the design ive now chosen to do works great!! awesome work im about to kit out my Ford Ranger
This is a simple yet brilliant build-out. Thx for taking the time to show us. Happy Camping! 😎
I like that heater, I'd like to see how you installed it. Also, what inverter are you using?
Late response, but no inverter for me. Just running straight off a 12v agm battery and charging when I get some with an extension cord
I can't help wondering why 99% of people put the bed on the driver's side. What's wrong with putting it on the passenger side?
I plan to do the passenger side myself. I think it’s becoming more of a rinse and repeat thing with these builds. So that could be why always on the driver side.
I think if i were to pull off the side of the road and then sit on the "couch" id see out the passenger side window and might be more enjoyable. Dunno, thats my guess of having it that way.
I envision it on the passenger side. 🤷🏼♀️
@@mikemattingly5825but if you park on the side of the road in any remotely urban area, you're in grave danger at all times of some maniac sideswiping you and permanently maiming or ending you. Not worth any view if you ask me. If you literally never lay down in town, it's fine.
I always thought to put the bed on the opposite side of the fuel tank. Just too level things out as much as possible
Propane tank..and battery go outside the camper
In case of explosion they'll end up outside anyway... so will I though. Sounds chilly.
Looks great looked to see if you had any follow up videos on this set sadly you haven’t made any hopefully you will.
Ikr wanted to see a update
Ahhhh!!!! Someday!!! I'm so bad at this!!
Is it necessary to secure the shelf to the bed with brackets like you did?
Mr Buddy's are not dangerous, but they do produce moisture.
So so so much moisture!
I hope Caleb Plumlee is okay 🙏🏿
"Blacked-out" effect instead of shiny & looks like you're doing something "Shady"!?! Because Blacked-out windows....isn't Suspicious 😂😂😂 Love your videos 😋❤️😅
Lol, you make a valid point. I suppose my logic is that from a distance, "blacked-out" looks more like heavy tint than shiny aluminum does 🤷? My girlfriend and I got window knocked by a cop last summer and told to move for the evening... I should have asked that guy what would look less shady! 🤣
Get a 12 volt fan Also make a cube size A/C
I’d like very much if u could do a video on the intake and outtakes from the heater. Also could u provide details of the heaters manufacturer or distributor. Please.
Could u provide the full name of the heater please
Hi. I’m buying this week a Nissan frontier with a low camper shell so yes I’d be interested in how u sealed etc.
That propane tank should be OUTSIDE!
Not really. If it's tightened correctly. No leaks, no problem
Probably should be. I figure if it goes poorly, everything including me will be outside the cab very quickly
I thought Thule was pronounced like mule with a classic th (like the) and NOT Too-lee. I've said it wrong so many times
Hahaha... I purposely Googled it beforehand to make sure every comment wasn't someone correcting me 😅
Good simple setup mate! Need to seal those roof rack brackets up ASAP mate before the roof carpet is completely rotted and destroyed!
Ugh... yes dad lol. You're entirely right and I have still not done anything about it 😅
Who the f*ck sleeps nude, especially in the bush!
