    This is by far the best cab setup. This is super stealthy

    Very impressive. I am thinking of doing the same with my GMC Sierra and your setup is by far the most inclusive I've seen.

    Hey Jonnie, nice use of a small space. Good idea to have an umbrella handy when it's rainy and you need to access under the seat!

    Very space efficient. Consideration to details of comfort and color, very appealing. The challenge of sleeping in a pickup cab has been forever, you make it look appealing to try to do my own build thanks!

    We have a Nissan Titan too. I enjoyed seeing what is possible. Right now, we live in an RV and moved out of a van build. I was thinking of turning the Titan into a woman cave to grant me space from my family. I might go the no build route in case we need to use the cab for passengers.

    • @JonniesJourney

    Nice work and great ideas on your truck build! I've been watching your recent videos and now I see how you ended up liking to do van builds. Your work is beautiful. I see that you did what I keep intending to do on my reflectix window covers. Lately when I'm camping I think "I need to put a peeky flap on my window covers."

    • @JonniesJourney
      @JonniesJourney  2 роки тому +2
