    Such a nice young couple. I hope they're enjoying the US, and seeing and experiencing many of the things this country has to offer. Such a clever build with scrap material, so creative. I love their energy and their positive attitudes. I wish them very good luck and good fortune, good health and happiness always.

    Favorite part is it cost under $1,000, love the toiletries, you would be amazed how fast your heel can dig up dirt if someone surprisingly comes along. LO L 😂. Roof sealant in the U.S.A. you can buy in 1 gallon to to 55 gallon barrels. Apply it with a paint 3/4 inch nap roller or use a paint brush. I use black on my deer stands due to camouflaging trying to blend in with the surrounding elements. I use white for the sun reflection on my house because I live in the south and the heat and humidity is unbearable in the summer.

    I liked the shower idea. I'm not a fan of the cat hole cause I'm older . Nice couple. They got this camper done in record time. Maybe she helped a lot too. I'm surprised they don't have a dog. Great video. Thanks

    • @planman860
      @planman860 Рік тому +1

      I like the shower too. It reminds me of a couple of Bob’s other videos but I don’t recall what they used on the floor to collect the water. I’ll have to replay it to see if I hear what she said.

      @IKARIANOFFICIAL Рік тому +5

      Yeah, the more I see things like this, the more I question why our society pushes us to get a 30 year mortgage on a home that's larger than what we need, and then we work 40 hours every week for decades to live in that fancy box.

      I don't know if you have already built one by now but you can put DIY Build truck campers and you can build a camper out of a truck topper too. I just got a raised roof truck topper, used, last week and I'm fixing to start building me one. It's amazing how you can set on up! Solar heat. Water pump, fridge AC in one. I hope you have but if not I hope you do soon and go have a great time. Happy Trails my friend!

    Great interview! I like the dinette, height and the use of the vertical space with the netting. I have a bel-air shell that I can barely stand up in and I’m 5’1” ! I have 1/2 ton pickup built out with 200 W solar, 200ah batt, 1000W inverter, 40A controller, a 26 qt fridge, bucket toilet, salad bowl sink with attached/removable 6 gal fresh/grey tanks and a portable 1 burner butane gas stove. But I only have a 6’ bed.

    Very cool - the beauty of the "No Build" approach - that is the approach that we did in our van and have been more than happy with our set up! Good for others getting out and doing their own things! During our cross country road trip we saw so many people camping in trucks, vans, cars - whatever - just to get out on the road! It was so inspiring! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
