Nice. Been doing this for years. Now that I'm older, and less flexible, I'm starting on a camper shell build after the 1st. Yours is just a tad too low for my old neck. Mine will be another 6 inches taller. After decades of truck camping - including with a 9-1/2 ft camper, I've come bac around to the conclusion that this is the simplest, most effective , and most comfortable way to go. There's simply no fuss involved and you can bring everything needed to be very comfortable No build-ins keep your truck useable as designed with just a few minutes of pulling stuff out. Cabinetry and gadgetry just add weight and reduce open space. Need a warmer floor? Just a single layer of 1/4" packing foam under a 5/8th" plywood slab , maybe with a rubber/foam shop mat thrown over it will make your feet happy when it's cold.
Just discovered your video. Love it, and love your dog. Great video. I'm 72 and would love to go with you guys. Great video. Am subscribing. Can't wait to see more.
Enjoyed video! Stumbled on your channel. Nice to see someone camping with out crazy amount of gear or really expensive stuff! Work in progress... nothing wrong with that!
The blanket is beautiful!! Its so soft and big enough to cover up with!! Love it!! Thank you Dustin for the special gift!! I will cherish it always!!❤❤
Hey Dustin, I just found your channel. Great video. I just did my first truck camping video. I love your old school set up, it’s simple but perfect. Zinger dog is an awesome companion. I will make some videos with my Millie in the near future. Cheers.
Drill a small hole in top of your Coleman water jug and hang it high on outside of camper shell when parked. Pass water pump hose up and out where shell meets tailgate. Now push hose down into cooler. You have jug out of your way and the pump won't be in your way, setting on top of your corner table.
@@TonyBrown1952-m4n thank you very much and God Bless! If you can, look up my email on my yt page and shoot me an email with your address, I'll send you a sticker since you became a member!
Great Adventure Dustin! Love me some fried bologna sammiches. I got my wife a little wooden sign that has the same Bible verse on it, as your wallet, for her desk at work for Christmas.
I have not had a fried bologna sandwich in years. I’m gonna have to have some soon. I always put pepper on mine. And of course gotta have mustard. I make mine a little more crispy. I like your simple camping videos.
It looks like you and Zinger have a great time. I just ran across your videos a little while back. In this one, you mentioned you are in Missouri. I live around Fulton MO, just north of Jefferson City. It's fun to see " local" folks doing videos on UA-cam.
Hello! Love that area! Been down to sourhern Missouri mountain biking a few times. And northern Arkansas. Really loving the new camper shell! I get all my stuff used and it needs work as well. Had to put new vent in my camper after i got it. Started ina topper now im in a pop up truck camper. Zinger is fun little pup! God Bless!

You know if you would have gotten a dog with longer legs, he could have drove once in a while, I'm thinking this dog's legs are too short to reach the pedals.
Zinger ! She makes me smile when I see her. So happy to be going camping.
