Great Video. Thanks for the actual test. What kind of heating system did you use again? I don’t think I heard of that before. Have you tried the Mr. Buddy heater before?
What size clips did u use for the spreader pole ???
Don't tell me not to do something then show me how to do it and think I'm not gonna try it. I'm a man!!!
Nice set up !
Very nifty set up, efficient i like it
Love video, I put an auto switch that goes from engine battery, to auto on when key or engine is running, to truck bed battery to charge my remote when engine is running cost 35 to 75$. ~ say 30 amp to 50 amp or more, Amazon. Could add toggle switch instead or in line w auto switch. Easy & simple to install, never loose battery in camper this way & never drain start battery . Also an always charged battery could power a small USB outlet fan ( & phone charger) to run at night to circulate roof heat around, likely shutting thermostat down saving LP and battery not needed to run heater fan as often. FYI.
@@billjones5178 I love this idea, I've just been simply too lazy to run wires from the engine bay into the bed 😅
@@calebplumleeoutdoors take wire with you, run at truck camp after days end when you may need something to do before sleep hits you. I often get these little nuisance projects done while at a camp out! By the way. Can a 1 lb bottle of propane power this heater in an emergency, or could the 3 spares we carry for our camp gas stove be used for a road trip. Small ones filled can be bought most anywhere including Walmart
Where in ID?
I was on the N Fork of the Coeur d'Alene river in this video
Awesome Set-Up! Simple.
23:53 great job on explaining everything! I would like to know where you got the fan thank you
Great way to make one cylinder last all night!
Awesome tutorial. Definitely saving this video. Thanks for sharing
I wanted to like this heater. But, the non adjustable heat was issue. To hot for my taste. As you mentioned the bottom tank holder plastic is garbage. Then add the updated cheaper option of the green 1lb disposable tanks putting plastic bottoms vs metal all way down. This become dangerous to me. I was using my heater and the plastic \ glue gave way dropping that hot heater. Good thing I was not in a tent that would have melted. I stopped using mine in total. But, I have since moved to 1lb flame king tanks with metal all way down. But, even still yes I agree get a better tank holder still. I really like the mod you did. I may have to look into doing this so I can start using mine again of course with a new stand holder still. Man I hate that stand..Great job and thanks for sharing.
Good Job. I will be looking up the Heater.
Awesome, great mods .
Doesn't every 13-14 yr old boy dream of having this set up while stuck in class? Hahaha ..i know i did it wasnt for many, many years later i had a very similar setup. Having some time alone to reflect on ones life is very important. A man needs time to think about his direction in this life, or he will become lost and forget where he wanted to go in the first place Beautiful video brings back good memories of manliness grrrrrr..hahaha Videos like this are what UA-cam is for. Sharing creative ideas to help enrich one anothers lives. Good job on you, sir. Keep a window open..if you die in your truck, you can't post any more videos and we will all be mad at you hahahhaa
SOOOOO I could DIE... OKAY... grabs popcorn..... 🍿"Keeps watching!!
Plan on checking back in ?
Thanks for the build tour. Nice heater system. Good job sealing. I'd like to see more of how you did it. (first visit to your channel, so I will look there since it's been 2 years.) My first '92 Toyota PU had the elevated topper, which I liked, but I couldn't afford the carpet kit (which I though was just a cosmetic luxury). I found that at extreme low temps (-20 to 5 deg F)my breath condensation would form an icicle over my head and drip on me all night! No matter where you moved, it would follow you. My next truck got the carpet treatment and what a difference. You still breath condensation but it's more like diffuse frost. Since I winter camp at these temps, I had the gear. Fun to be a tele-ski bum for 2-3 weeks /year, wake up in the parking lot near the ticket booth, drop the gate and put coffee and oatmeal while still in your bag. Envy of everyone clomping by. How do you secure the windows from the inside. I sometimes used a vice grips on the tailgate window.🎿
cool.
Nice build, my thinking is how do you close up the backend when you’re ready for sleeping? Do you have to crawl over the tailgate or is there a handle to lift the tailgate up?
@danielboger9751 I just reach out and pull it up. It's not bad with my arm length and a fairly light tailgate. Probably would add a pull strap if that wasn't the case
Pimp my shanty, nice set up . Great ideas 💡
Careful saying that in Ohio... icepimp cops will kick in your shanty door
What kind of bolts ?
Which bolts do you mean?
@@calebplumleeoutdoorsthe ones coming thru the floor. Looking for some non sharp bolts to do some mounting. I don’t have a rivet gun
@anthonybobrowski1907 those are just stainless steel machine screws with stainless steel nylock nuts. I don't recall the specific size of the bolts that attach the Clam runner kits, but either #10 or 1/4-20 I believe
28:22 would love to see an install video on the heater system
Agree you do talk too much,git to it .other than that worth checking out
Lol. M'bad
Gullwing screened sliders = FANTASTIC!! XLNT build 🤙🏽👍🏽🍻
I really like that heater. I've used the diesel heaters that work good but this looks better
The propane is just more convenient for me personally
Nice
Good ideas, through out the video. Thank you.
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.
Your description is excellent. Those are great ideas too
Since heat rises, move your outflow vent as low as possible. It will help heat the floor area and still rise to the top.
I agree... the only reason I didn't put the vent lower is that it would be under the mattress when i expand the bed for 2 people
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.
