Mr Heaters Buddy Heaters are catalytic and thus cannot produce co2. A little fresh air doesn't hurt, because too little oxygen will cause it to turn off. But they are perfectly safe for inside use. People treat them like they are time bombs and if that were true there would be warning labels all over the box. They left one run for 24 hr straight in a hot tent and co2 detector never went off
You need a carbon monoxide detector not carbon dioxide detector. The former is a deadly poison gas.
That might be why it didn't go off. CO vs CO2
You're so right about sleeping on an air matress; it must transfer cold air, because it's cold to sleep on one. That's great you can sleep well in there on the foam pads.
It’s no memory foam mattress, but it sure is comfy for a truck bed haha!
That’s my all time favorite heater. I slept in my truck for a month in NY winter and that heater kept me alive. I went through three 20 lb propane tanks.
Dang! What a beast
Did you sleep with the heater on all night
I just ordered the larger size heater and also the small one and a vent hatch and a CO detector. Oh yeah and a 9.5" DVD player. I'm going on a road trip/ camping for 2 months as soon as I finish building and setting it up.
I have a 32' RV but this looks far more fun and simpler.
That’s awesome haha! I’ve been wanting to add a tv/projector to watch movies at camp! Happy camping friend! Enjoy the road trip
@@ConnorLee I use to take one offshore with me. I was WAS a commercial diver on the platforms and those movie players come in handy when you can't sleep.
Thanks so much for this video! I also have a 1st gen 01’ and I love your setup. My step-dad and I are going to build the bed up this summer based off how you have yours. Your videos are super informative and fun to watch. Thanks again! - Steve from Kansas
Thanks for watching and good luck on your build! It was a fun father son project for me and my dad. Hope you enjoy the process!
Insulate the shell with reflectex (?) and cover with boat carpet, or just use boat carpet. For condensation problem.
Ended up doing just that! Thanks!
Use wool blankets and plastic sheeting for insulation 🤠😉
@@coreychampley148 I did a few experiments on blankets.
Being a Sat. diver blankets are a thing.
It can't produce static, it must be light weight because of all our gear and the amount of it.
To cut to the chase I discovered the cheapo blankets at Walmart for $3. Something sewn together are perfect down to 20 below. I lay on one and cover with two. They are fire resistant won't create static and weigh nothing.
I buying 6 more today.
If you build a PVC frame you can make a tiny shelter inside and survive 40 below with ease.
You need to watch a video on how to properly season your cast iron....makes all the difference.
Definitely get a Porta potty. I have camped on every level and I also have a little buddy heater for my truck top camper and a pillow type insulation cut out would work for condensation
The Tacoma is awesome ! It looks really comfortable in my opinion =)
I love these Camping Videos, keep them coming ;)
Greetings Jan
Don’t have to ask me twice!
i think netting around the sides and maybe ceiling could help with storage accessibility, considering your seasonings are in an out of reach place when your cab bed is closed.
That is a dilemma. I was thinking about cutting a second hatch above the drawer to have inside access but the netting could be a move.
I like the camping setup and enjoyed the video! I'm a throwback viewer from the f30 days.
So cool to have you around OG! Thanks for watching Ryan
Great videos man! I have the same Tacoma and loving your build
An answer to the condensation issue is diesel heater. Gives dry forced air heat. The flocking makes a difference as well
I’ve thought about this. You think it’s a better option versus a buddy heater?
Your build looks awesome. The buddy heater gives out too much condensation and the Co2 it could give off is dangerous. Get yourself a Jackery Lithium Ion battery and use an electric blanket. It will be dryer and you will keep warm. Plus, you could get a low output electric heater if it was too cold for you.
I’ll definitely be trying some new heating techniques next fall when things start to cool down again. Heating blanket I’ll make sure is on the list 🤘🏼
I have a decked system and I sleep on top of that and when I wanna cook I just exit the back or sit on my pad but if I’m with my gf I’m outside because usually we’ll get our day started and sit by the fire in the am
That sounds awesome man, cool you get to get out there with your lady
looks like where I live in NC, no matter where you go, it's up hill
Great video.
I didn't want to be the one to bust 420 👍! Cast iron will last a lifetime.
Watching from Las Vegas
Thanks for popping by the channel! How are you living today?
Living great just tuning while at the office
You were watching Mrs. Doubtfire lol
Yessir hahah
Try an Alpicool 12 volt cooler good price awesome product I’m a truck driver beat up mine a bit for 3 years now works great love your videos
Ooooo I’ll check that out! Thank you!
very quality videos! you earned a new subscriber!
Thank you and welcome!
You should have done a first burn while you’re outside of the truck, just so you don’t have to inhale all the oils that are on the heater while the heater is in the box.
I did haha. Technically tried it out for the second time on camera
Hi Conner, I happened to come across your vid. I've been truck camping since the 80's. It looks like you've got a pretty good set up there. I might suggest you get a small fan to circulate the warm air in your rig. You can check out camping stores in your area, they will have what you need, but it'll be expensive. Wally World does ok. You're going to find that you will add & detract what you need as time goes on. There is no right way. There is no wrong way. There is only 1 way, YOUR WAY. Thanks for sharing, drive safe. 🤠
One love Sailor!
@@ConnorLee "Give thanks and praise to the Lord
And I will feel all right".
Hey there. I just stumbled upon your video. Not bad. I’m gonna watch a few more and probably subscribe.
Hope you do friend! Thanks for tuning and and finding us 🤘🏼
@@ConnorLee I hope to start doing truck camping myself pretty soon. I plan to build my own small camper. But for now my videos just consist of weekend warrior trailer camping.
Another good video! I may have to stop watching your videos because I’m starting to imagine myself truck camping🏕 …😂. If there’s ever a zombie apocalypse, I guess you are going to be just fine. 🤣😂. Merry Christmas!
That’s what this all is haha. Zombie apocalypse prep disguised as family friendly truck camping videos 🤫😬
@@ConnorLee 😂🤣
Really nice setup. Inspiring. New sub. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks, and welcome!
I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND LIKED AND SUBBED. THANKS FOR SHARING A GREAT VIDEO, MY NEW FRIEND...
เยี่ยม ง่าย ๆสบายๆ
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ic all you have is the back window cracked is that enough ventilation do you Crack the front window of the truck too
I’ll usually crack the back window and one screened window. That way it creates some movement. I keep an carbon monoxide detector in there with me and have never had an alarm. Use at your own risk for sure. Be safe friend!
@@ConnorLee thanks my only concern in a small area like that
Those heaters are safe indoors
Your heater is too big for your setup. Ideally you need the Mr. Heater Portable Buddy Heater. Much smaller version perfect for your truck.
Yes this thing definitely takes no time at all to heat up this little topper. Might consider downsizing on the heater since extra space is always a hot commodity in the truck bed camper! Cheers!
How tall are you? Reason i ask is i have a Taco with a 6ft bed and wanna do that, im short so i think i can pull it off
5’8” on a good day!
@@ConnorLee Guess my 5'7" will be fine!!
That a 28 bama tag?
It’s Bama, but what’s 28?
@@ConnorLee dekalb county..
Carbon monixide risk. Jesus.
Multiple windows cracked, carbon monoxide alarm, never run while sleeping. All good over here.
☃️
Hell yeah. Glad to see other doing the same.
Check out my set up too !🤘🏼

Love that stain you used, kitchen looks awesome brotha
My proboem with my truck bed build is my camper shell is short and i have a 40gallon water tank thats a bit tall so i cant sit up on my bench i have to sit on the floor lol
40 gal! Do you go on extended camping trips?
@@ConnorLee i just started living out of my truck i got a wood stove and solar and a mini flat screen tv its coming along nicely. My water tank i use for myself and my two dogs and i have a portable water heater and a portable shower. All i have left to get is one of those pull out awnings
@@ConnorLee someone stole everything from my truck today. I cant believe it
