There’s one thing that I love the most about your truck camper…Mason. Actually, you did an amazing job on the camper and Mason loves you so much and that speaks a ton on you as a person. Have a great week 🤗
i restored a 1989 travel trailer, gutted the inside and built it to accomodate off grid use, compost toilet, portable propane stove instead of the giant one that came stock... now i can go off grid weeks at a time, dont have to dump tanks, have more room than a normal camper, and its a fraction of the price of new campers and the quality is better. Its the way to go honestly
Where I live at is rv capital of the world we have places you can buy brand new still in packaging stuff that's just old model rv get stuff for penny's on the dollar
Wow! You’ve turned an ugly cocoon into a beautiful butterfly over time Larry! Some great work you’ve done there sir! Thank you for the tour of your casa on wheels! As always, stay safe out there…..
Larry, nice job on the counter tops and everything else! Mason reminds me of my wife’s yorkie named Mason as well. He died of cancer at 11. Best rescue dog we ever rescued.
God bless you for rescuing your dog. He probably rescued you as well. Animals are the best. So sorry for your loss. Your Mason is resting in peace and love 🥰🐶🙏💗
the dog was the best part, lol. that camper is actually really nice. roomy with lots of windows. and i love old school stuff. i'm still amazed how big it looks inside. would definitely get one if i had a pickup
You did such a great redo of the camper. It’s good you have the ability to work wherever you’re needed with the camper and 5th wheel. That’s true freedom!
On the shower pan: I saw on line some guy just totally coat his shower pan with Flex Seal and said it is working perfectly without leaks! Just a thought!
If you were in the winter time camping, a tip is to put hard in slice around your base of your camper the hard insulation with the silver backing it was keep your floors warmer in your tanks from freezing
Awesome video Larry, loved seeing how you have redone things, etc. You did outstanding. Always a pure joy to see Mason, such a dear puppy dog. Great job on everything , very interesting . Have a great week Larry & Mason. See you guys next Tuesday.
Counter is beautiful! Love the backsplash. ❤ Again, love the bathroom reno. Mason is always a favorite. 🥰 And when you stuck us in the heater/battery cabinet, my mom pointed out she's claustrophobic. 🤣😂 Fun video!
What a transformation Larry, you should feel very proud of all the hard work that you have put in to make the camper look like new! Well done!☺️ Always look forward to your videos and seeing the star of the show little Mason!❤🐶
Love seeing the work you have put into the camper. You have the skills most of us wish we had. Glad to see Mason is using his seatbelt (safety first 😉). Love the comment below “Larry of all trades” LOL. Both of you are great to watch.
Enjoyed the walk through dear. You have worked very hard to make your abode a comfortable, practical living space. I love the counter tops and table, really looks high end. It's a work in progress, you will change and tweak things as time goes on and needs evolve. I enjoy seeing what others have done. I saw Arizona is getting some rain, be careful. Stay safe and GOD bless
Hey Alice!! Hope you’re doing good? Thank you yeah I’m sure I’ll change things as time progresses. I love that kind of stuff so eventually I’ll find something I need to add or subtract from it haha. Yeah we have been getting some rain! Mason doesn’t like the rain so of course I have to carry him over to the potty spot so he doesn’t get his paws wet 😆
OMG I LOVVVVE MASON SO MUCH!!! What a sweetheart!!!! When u said "this is the bed", he looked at it and said "Yes dad, that's our bed!!" He is adorable!!!!🐩🐩🐩🐩♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You have made a nice little home for Mason and yourself such a sweet dog.nice work on the counter .Cool accent light love that, great size sleeping area.s , Hey you have all you need. Love what you have done very creative .
I am still on the truck portion of your tour and caution you to be careful with disp plastic water bottles in a hot vehicle. The bottles contains toxic chemicals that leech into the water when they are exposed to heat. Its prob better to keep them on ice in a cooler if you haul them around. :) back to the video. I bet that camper is stunning.
❤❤❤❤ love seeing your face on Tuesdays!!!! Hope all is well. Thanks for the tour around your tiny house. Have a great rest of your week. Can't wait till next week.🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Larry, The front jacks can be put on hinges so they swing forward. I made my own barrel. hinges, and the pins were removable so the jacks could be removed.
Hi Larry , you are so gifted on how you do your work , so professional, I love it , please give Mason a big hug for me , if you remember im the one that has a doggy that looks alot like your dog , same color and hair cut , and same fluffy hair on the tail....😊❤❤
We bought a used Lance squire lite 650s. It didn’t have a A/C unit although it was prepped. We bought the Dometic 11K BTU. Installed it on a 103 degree day. Smallest unit they make and it ran off of 110 and an extension core. Within 20 minutes it was down to a comfortable 78 degrees. The air coming out of the unit was 58 degrees. I turned everything on including the frig and it never tripped the breaker. They are loud but well worth the $1100. Dollar. BTW you have done a good job on the camper. Nice video too.
Good evening from Godley Texas (currently at Possum Kingdom Lake) great walk around of truck. Superb job on the interior. Looks like ribs tonight 😊 I'm not sure anyone makes a quiet AC. Thanks for sharing with us. Live life to the fullest. Stay safe and happy travels. Have you thought about buying 2 200amp batteries. Dome are made to the same dimensions as your's.
Wow Larry I had no idea how much work you have put into the ol gal. Well done my friend. I really enjoyed this video. You are a talented “larry of all trades”. Shout out to Kenny lol 👊
Pretty long subscriber. Thanks for the Napa Awning tip. I was listening to your camper tour, and when you got to the part about the extention plate for you camperjacks and why you installed them. My wife caught me saying "your preaching to the choir". I bought a older truck camper for my Tundra. However the camper was built for small trucks like a Tacoma. So, I had to have some of those extensions built too. 😂
Omg! You should design trailers for people. I just bought an old FJ Cruiser and was trying to think of how I could fix the back to sleep and what to do for storage. I want to try to camp like you lol But you could design people’s cars, vans, SUV’s I love the way you did your counters and table. Thats nicer than my house 😊 You know what I like about your stove top? I noticed a lot of stove tops in new motorhomes move the burners toward the wall. I think they do it to give more counter top room. But I always think but if I had a big pot of soup or something, the wall would be in the way. But your burners are placed in the middle so you have more room for a big pan or pot. Love how you thought everything out. Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing! ❤ I hope I can get over my anxiety enough to start camping in my FJ Cruiser!!! 🤗 You’re an inspiration!
I had a ton of anxiety too when I first started but the only way to get over it is to just do it. I still get a little anxiety but I have just learned to push past it and im always glad I did. I would love to design campers or vans or whatever. Who knows what the future will bring lol Thank you so much 😊
Nice remodel/overhaul ⭐️ I like the offset table, smart idea! Aren’t chihuahuas the loveliest companions? ☺️ I have Chichi/Westie and she’s the bees knees
Hi Larry what a great video you really are very talented you did such an awesome job fixing up the camper cabinets are so nice and the countertop with the Apoxsee is really nice great before and after videos nice little change this video was I’m looking foward and hope you do a video on how you sold your home to become a full time camper thanks for sharing Larry Be Safe out there Debbie from New Jersey 😊give Mason a hug from me ❤
I’m have one in the cabinet right newxt to the fridge so I can grab it easily from anywhere in the camper. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching 😊
@@worklessenjoylifemore Thanks for replying. I was recently reading a list of recommendations of First Responders. There were a number of recommends and some of them were for passengers to never put their feet on the dash (because air bags), a fire extinguisher in the cab, and glass break/seatbelt cutter near at hand. Cheers.
Larry 🎉awesome job you have done on your truck camper 🎉 it’s looks amazing now I hope you get time to the outside and improve on the old caulking removal but overall wow man you have done an excellent job 🎉 I’m looking forward to investing in the new Northern Lite 610 truck campers that are coming out this year. I hope You have many happy years of camping in your TC Thanks for sharing!! ❤😊
Try Optilube XPD. It’s a fuel lubricant. You will notice your motor runs quieter because it needs less fuel because of the reduced friction. My 2001 Duramax Alison k3500 gets 14.1 average on flat ground at 55-60 mph carrying 5000 lbs. Before using potent my best fuel economy was 15 mph empty. Now I get into 19 mpg empty. A light foot and a boost gauge helps there, modest speeds and this fuel lube help dramatically. Good luck.
Right out the gate you had me laughing with your video title :) All of your upgrades are brilliant and so well thought out. Those countertops and the table top look awesome. What a difference when you showed the video pre Larry upgrades. Always happy to see Mason the mascot.
Great video Larry! I love all the improvements you made. The table and counters are beautiful. And I even like the outside, it has character! Thanks for sharing. 👏👏
This video of yours popped up on my feed and decided to watch it. Really enjoyed the video, you have a great set-up and Mason is Stud, very cute 😊. New subscriber here and will tell Family and friends about your Channel. Will follow and watch your Channel, you and Mason stay safe Brother ! 2👍👍 wayyyy up !!!😀🇺🇸
Congratulations 🎉Larry awesome transformation 👏 you have done a excellent job,definitely can see you put alot of thought in the planning ,your wood work skills are stand out features ❤one last thing mason looked like a little Teddy Bear in his bed awww❤anywho thankyou for sharing Interesting ,stay safe stay alert Stay Happy ❤❤
I had that headlight airing out prob on my Sierra. I put some air shocks and a compressor in and it fixes it whenever I’m loaded. I had a Winnebago I bought used. The previous owner had used some RV sealant that was like silver putty that he seam sealed the roof seams and around the A/C. Never have had to touch it again. That Winnie is up to 21 yrs old now. Your boarded window is a cool idea. I’ll give you credit for how I use it. Something else that works is a Marine Corps sticker on the outside of your window. I was a Marine but you could use Tank Corps or Army Ranger sticker. It’s like intimidation for the weak minded criminals. Your countertops and that table look killer. Great job on that and the stove back splash.
Larry, you've done an amazing job on your camper! That counter top is on point!! You should be so proud of what you've accomplished. Always love your content! Update on my life since my lil Harley passed in Dec, I've adopted another Chihuahua, his name is Bentley. 11wks and keeps me busy ❤ Glad you're doing good missed ya 😊😉
Oh my goodness that’s so awesome to hear!! I bet Bentley is adorable!! Chihuahuas are cute but chihuahuha puppies are even cuter!! 🐶 lol Just a random fact… I used to have a cat named Bentley, and a dog named Lincoln 🤣
Love it!! Bentley, is all puppy but he's the cutest though. Already attached to me. If he can't see me he'll bark till he can see me. He goes everywhere with me even to work. I love me some Mason though!! He's adorable 😍 stay safe!
The countertop was the very last thing I did because I was quite intimidated by them! Luckily on camera you can’t see all my mistakes 🤣 up close they have a few bad spots. Ha ha ha
Looks pretty darn good I must say Larry! At least it keeps you busy, and should make you proud of your accomplishments. You're such an inspiration to others folks out there that would love to get out there and do what you're doing for yourself. That takes a lot of courage, and skill to make this all happen. Great job my friend! I really do love to watch all of your videos, and just keep on doing what you're doing okay my dear. Send you and Mason warm hugs from Lil oh me Jeni in New Mexico 😉🌶🏜
Thank you. We appreciate all you do. Some family of ours is looking to get into working at a distance and using an RV is home I think I’ll share this video with them.
I use Nomad internet and I’m currently getting things setup to do another video about it. The old video I had to delete when they upgraded to 5g I’ll have a discount code too when I post the video
Wow you know how to do everything. All those wires! If I tried that I would have an ADHD moment and would have to go lay down 😂😂 Neat that you know how to do everything!!! What a big difference than when you first bought it!!
LARRY YOU HAVE DONE A BRILLIANT JOB RENOVATING YOUR HOME I LOVE THE CAMPER ITS A BABE THAT LOOKS AFTER YOU AND MASON LOVE THE LIGHTS BET YOU HAVE SPENT SOME TIME ON DOING UP YOUR HOME LOVE THE TABLE ITS GORGEOUS M8 BECKY 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 XX
If caulk-type fiberglass seal won't work on your shower pan, you might be able to use something like liquid rubber boat sealant.... (I know nothing, I just watch a lot of van build videos....)
Attach your power inverter to the wall sideways and you might be able to get one more battery in the top if you reinforce the shelf there (maybe a simple metal L channel frame with the holes to adjust shelf height, which you put the battery on and you actually may be able to attach the inverter to it so you can get to it easier). *I looked at it again and you may be able to pull the inverter forward to attach sideways to the wall right at the cabinet opening if your wires are long enough.
Love it man. Yea I have a 96 Shadow cruiser I live in full-time.. have alot if the same things goin on as set up . Got sum really good ideas from ur set up .. definitely Kool brother man.. yea switched to a vevor diesel heater myself one of the best upgrades I did. Anyway sending nothing but positive vibes ur way
Oh my!!!! Excited to see this on Monday! 😄 Ok, side note question...Does Mason have a sombrero to go with your "party lights" 😉(🤠🌮🌵) So, random question I keep forgetting to ask: Any issues with scorpions?
Ummm wait how did you see this and comment? This video hasn’t posted yet? lol Hahaha no he doesn’t have a hat 😆 as for the scorpions they are here in AZ but in 20 years I have only seen a few and never been stung
@@worklessenjoylifemore Good to know about the scorpions. We have them here near Dallas too. I've been very close before but never stung. We also have the Red Velvet Ant who's sting is equal to a scorpion. My entire life, mostly here, I saw my first one in 2010 then many times since. They are huge & mega creepy.
@@Mamma-Tex 😯 I hear the babies are the worst. Once, when I was around 2nd grade...my mom saw one crawling on me onto of the blanket while I was sleeping. She flung it off with a hardback book then smashed it. I never woke up. The next morning she had left it on the bathroom counter. Totally freaked me out. You are a survivor, lol. 🥇
Loved the shower curtain idea 💡 I’m a BIG fluffy guy and I joke with my wife when I shower it’s like going to the car wash 🧼 I just soap walls & spin 😅….
Great set up! Thanks for sharing. Mason is very cute. I also went for the same backsplash for my 90s RV when I remodeled. I have 400W of solar and 200Ah of battery as well but I don't think I have enough battery to run my fridge, AC and TV. That is some magic going on. Or maybe my battery is old. Does your solar socket bypass the battery? Lots of inspo in this video. I need to re-do the table, it's original and terribly wonky. And the flooring needs work. Previous one I installed looks like it will last only one year of full timing. I hear your pain about taping everything for hours and painting it very quick.
Awesome I’m glad you found some inspiration on this video! My solar is completely separate from the camper wiring. The only connection I have connecting the two systems is for a plug in play charger so when the camper is plugged in then it chargers the solar batteries. I haven’t even tried to run the AC on it either, I imagine it would use up the batteries in a matter of minutes. So my solar mostly is there to power the fridge water pump, and heater. The lights run off the truck batteries.
thats a sweet overhaul, and the before clips at the end, wow, night and day difference, i can see this being a good "weekender" for when you want to go out but don't want to haul a heavy 5th wheel thats cumbersome and can be a bit of a pain to back into some spaces, as far as adding batteries, i wonder if you could add an external connection that ties into the battery setup you have, and have the extra batteries sit in boxes in the bed of the pickup you are hauling the camper with? then when the camper is off of the truck have them sit in the floor out of the way or connected inside via a high current anderson power pole setup or something similar, just an idea, sweet build all the same
no problem brother, hope it works out, i know a lot of electric forklifts use the anderson style connectors, and that's what got me thinking it may work for your setup@@worklessenjoylifemore
Hey Larry! You have done an amazing job on your truck camper. It’s really nice! You are very talented! Which do you like better the fifth wheel or the truck camper? ❣️
The truck camper 110%!! The fifth wheel has been nothing but problems!! In fact the flooring has started to separate and sag so now I’m stuck with it 🤷 I can sell it without taking a huge loss. I plan to remodel the fifth wheel some day and fix all the issues and then probably sell it. I’d like to find a pull behind that’s maybe 25’ and older like the truck camper so I can completely remodel it like how I want.
@@worklessenjoylifemore I’m so sorry you’re having those problems with your fifth wheel. You’re a very talented man and I’m sure you will get it fixed up. I hope you find the perfect pull behind. Thank you for taking us on all of your adventures. Can’t wait for the next video
I love Mason. He’s adorable.
There’s one thing that I love the most about your truck camper…Mason. Actually, you did an amazing job on the camper and Mason loves you so much and that speaks a ton on you as a person. Have a great week 🤗
Thanks so much 🙏😊
Mason is adorable!❤
Agreed!!!!❤
Oh I love Mason!!! What a good camping buddy he is!
I SAID EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!! I LOVE THAT SWEET PUP!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how this was so much more realistic than most of these tours... there's crap everywhere!
With the price of new campers today, it makes perfect sense to renovate an older one.
i restored a 1989 travel trailer, gutted the inside and built it to accomodate off grid use, compost toilet, portable propane stove instead of the giant one that came stock... now i can go off grid weeks at a time, dont have to dump tanks, have more room than a normal camper, and its a fraction of the price of new campers and the quality is better. Its the way to go honestly
Where I live at is rv capital of the world we have places you can buy brand new still in packaging stuff that's just old model rv get stuff for penny's on the dollar
@@janetholdread Nice to hear that. Where is this place?
@bantumwt lol 😆 I'd tell you but just Google rv capital of the world 🌎

Wow! You’ve turned an ugly cocoon into a beautiful butterfly over time Larry! Some great work you’ve done there sir! Thank you for the tour of your casa on wheels!
As always, stay safe out there…..
Thanks Mike! Hope you’re doing well!?

Larry, nice job on the counter tops and everything else! Mason reminds me of my wife’s yorkie named Mason as well. He died of cancer at 11. Best rescue dog we ever rescued.
Good job on the video Larry. I to like the job u did on the table and counter top. Tell Mason hi for us.
God bless you for rescuing your dog.
He probably rescued you as well. Animals are the best.
So sorry for your loss. Your Mason is resting in peace and love

What a difference from then and now. Looks so much better brightened up. 🤗
I like that little setup you got. LOVE the 90s couch cover…. Haha!! This is the best bare necessities set up I’ve ever seen.
Great renovation. Shows a lot of
Creativity and skill.
Mason- awesome!
I camp with 3 chihuahuas. One long hair white like Mason.
Great video!
Mason says “dad if your hands up, you know what it should be doing!! PET MEEEEEE😂😂😂😂”
Hahaha I wondered if anyone caught that 😆
Counter is beautiful! Love the backsplash. ❤ Again, love the bathroom reno. Mason is always a favorite. 🥰 And when you stuck us in the heater/battery cabinet, my mom pointed out she's claustrophobic. 🤣😂 Fun video!
Hahaha 😆 luckily we didn’t hang out in there very long lol

What a nice remodel. You are a very talented guy. And such a good dad to Mason.
Counter tops and your small table look great, nice job on the remodel/restore. 👍👍And what a sweet pup. 🐕

Thumbs Up. I dig it. One thing...I didn't see any fire extinguishers. May I humbly suggest...one above your bed, one in the kitchen, one in the cab.

This video of yours popped up on my feed and decided to watch it. Really enjoyed the video, you have a great set-up and Mason is Stud, very cute 😊. New subscriber here and will tell Family and friends about your Channel. Will follow and watch your Channel, you and Mason stay safe Brother ! 2👍👍 wayyyy up !!!😀🇺🇸
Hey thanks so much!! I really appreciate that 🙏😊
Love the counter tops. Amazing what plywood, stain, epoxy and talent can do. This is a great restoration/update/upgrade. Nice work! 👍🏼
Congratulations 🎉Larry awesome transformation 👏 you have done a excellent job,definitely can see you put alot of thought in the planning ,your wood work skills are stand out features ❤one last thing mason looked like a little Teddy Bear in his bed awww❤anywho thankyou for sharing Interesting ,stay safe stay alert Stay Happy ❤❤
I had that headlight airing out prob on my Sierra. I put some air shocks and a compressor in and it fixes it whenever I’m loaded. I had a Winnebago I bought used. The previous owner had used some RV sealant that was like silver putty that he seam sealed the roof seams and around the A/C. Never have had to touch it again. That Winnie is up to 21 yrs old now.
Your boarded window is a cool idea. I’ll give you credit for how I use it. Something else that works is a Marine Corps sticker on the outside of your window. I was a Marine but you could use Tank Corps or Army Ranger sticker. It’s like intimidation for the weak minded criminals.
Your countertops and that table look killer. Great job on that and the stove back splash.
This slide in has a nice layout. I've only been in the style with those awful U dining benches. Your actually feels like a home.
Larry, you've done an amazing job on your camper! That counter top is on point!! You should be so proud of what you've accomplished. Always love your content! Update on my life since my lil Harley passed in Dec, I've adopted another Chihuahua, his name is Bentley. 11wks and keeps me busy ❤
Glad you're doing good missed ya 😊😉
Oh my goodness that’s so awesome to hear!! I bet Bentley is adorable!! Chihuahuas are cute but chihuahuha puppies are even cuter!! 🐶 lol
Just a random fact… I used to have a cat named Bentley, and a dog named Lincoln 🤣
Love it!!
Bentley, is all puppy but he's the cutest though. Already attached to me. If he can't see me he'll bark till he can see me. He goes everywhere with me even to work.
I love me some Mason though!! He's adorable 😍 stay safe!
Thank you for sharing all the work that you put in on your camper brother, I am going out tent camping for a week this weekend and I can't wait
That’s awesome!! I bet you’ll have fun!! I have been wanting to do some tent camping soon so I’m sure I’ll have a video about it 😆
Thanks for watching
Your table solution is brilliant. I agree that something bigger would be too cumbersome. What you made is perfect for one person and suitable for two.
I love it so far! Thank you 😊
Awesome work man! I’m interested in the epoxy countertops. They look great! 👍👍
The countertop was the very last thing I did because I was quite intimidated by them! Luckily on camera you can’t see all my mistakes 🤣 up close they have a few bad spots. Ha ha ha
Nice job buddy ! It turned out amazing. The counters turned out beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Looks pretty darn good I must say Larry! At least it keeps you busy, and should make you proud of your accomplishments. You're such an inspiration to others folks out there that would love to get out there and do what you're doing for yourself. That takes a lot of courage, and skill to make this all happen. Great job my friend! I really do love to watch all of your videos, and just keep on doing what you're doing okay my dear. Send you and Mason warm hugs from Lil oh me Jeni in New Mexico 😉🌶🏜
Thanks so much 🙏😊
Thank you. We appreciate all you do. Some family of ours is looking to get into working at a distance and using an RV is home I think I’ll share this video with them.
Nice tour of your truck camper! Very nice! Love your sweet dog, Mason! ❤
Wow, very nice job. Nice when you know how, especially all the electric work like the solar and computer hook-ups. Enjoyed the show and tell.
I literally have a ball in there camping like that. 😊perfect!!!
I loved the outdoor shower. Mason is so cute!!! Great job on the camper! We are trying to figure out the internet thing for ours. What so u use?
I use Nomad internet and I’m currently getting things setup to do another video about it. The old video I had to delete when they upgraded to 5g
I’ll have a discount code too when I post the video
@worklessenjoylifemore awesome! Looking fwd to the video!!
This is really great. Nice work. Love Mason. I hope to see him more!

What a big difference than when you first bought it!!
Thank you 😊
Your craftsmanship is on another level dude! I love it you are talented

LARRY YOU HAVE DONE A BRILLIANT JOB RENOVATING YOUR HOME
I LOVE THE CAMPER ITS A BABE THAT LOOKS AFTER YOU AND MASON

BET YOU HAVE SPENT SOME TIME ON DOING UP YOUR HOME
LOVE THE TABLE ITS GORGEOUS M8
BECKY 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 XX
If caulk-type fiberglass seal won't work on your shower pan, you might be able to use something like liquid rubber boat sealant....
(I know nothing, I just watch a lot of van build videos....)
Attach your power inverter to the wall sideways and you might be able to get one more battery in the top if you reinforce the shelf there (maybe a simple metal L channel frame with the holes to adjust shelf height, which you put the battery on and you actually may be able to attach the inverter to it so you can get to it easier). *I looked at it again and you may be able to pull the inverter forward to attach sideways to the wall right at the cabinet opening if your wires are long enough.
Thank you for the tips!! 🙏😊
Love the counter top and table you did a great job! Great video!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great job on the remodel👍. Looks great and user friendly.
Love it man. Yea I have a 96 Shadow cruiser I live in full-time.. have alot if the same things goin on as set up . Got sum really good ideas from ur set up .. definitely Kool brother man.. yea switched to a vevor diesel heater myself one of the best upgrades I did. Anyway sending nothing but positive vibes ur way
Great job! It looks amazing and very functional. You’ve really used the space well.
Nice work on the camper another great vid always look forward to your new vids keep them coming safe travels to you and Mason
Oh my!!!! Excited to see this on Monday! 😄 Ok, side note question...Does Mason have a sombrero to go with your "party lights" 😉(🤠🌮🌵)
So, random question I keep forgetting to ask: Any issues with scorpions?
Ummm wait how did you see this and comment? This video hasn’t posted yet? lol
Hahaha no he doesn’t have a hat 😆 as for the scorpions they are here in AZ but in 20 years I have only seen a few and never been stung
@@worklessenjoylifemore Good to know about the scorpions. We have them here near Dallas too. I've been very close before but never stung. We also have the Red Velvet Ant who's sting is equal to a scorpion. My entire life, mostly here, I saw my first one in 2010 then many times since. They are huge & mega creepy.
Finally got stung after 50 years in Ft Worth. Wasnt so bad. Painful for 5 minutes.
@@Mamma-Tex 😯 I hear the babies are the worst. Once, when I was around 2nd grade...my mom saw one crawling on me onto of the blanket while I was sleeping. She flung it off with a hardback book then smashed it. I never woke up. The next morning she had left it on the bathroom counter. Totally freaked me out. You are a survivor, lol. 🥇
You did an amazing job on that truck camper. It looks really nice. Thank you for sharing!
You did a fantastic job , very nice! If I had a truck I would get one just for camping and getting away.
Thanks 😊
Loved the shower curtain idea 💡 I’m a BIG fluffy guy and I joke with my wife when I shower it’s like going to the car wash 🧼 I just soap walls & spin 😅….
Hahaha that’s hilarious 🤣
Great set up! Thanks for sharing. Mason is very cute.
I also went for the same backsplash for my 90s RV when I remodeled. I have 400W of solar and 200Ah of battery as well but I don't think I have enough battery to run my fridge, AC and TV. That is some magic going on. Or maybe my battery is old. Does your solar socket bypass the battery?
Lots of inspo in this video. I need to re-do the table, it's original and terribly wonky. And the flooring needs work. Previous one I installed looks like it will last only one year of full timing. I hear your pain about taping everything for hours and painting it very quick.
Awesome I’m glad you found some inspiration on this video! My solar is completely separate from the camper wiring. The only connection I have connecting the two systems is for a plug in play charger so when the camper is plugged in then it chargers the solar batteries. I haven’t even tried to run the AC on it either, I imagine it would use up the batteries in a matter of minutes. So my solar mostly is there to power the fridge water pump, and heater. The lights run off the truck batteries.
Beautiful job on that countertop! Wowzers.
Nicely remodeled camper. Nice little buddy.
Your camper looks great! Very homey which is important when you’re on the road full time!
thats a sweet overhaul, and the before clips at the end, wow, night and day difference, i can see this being a good "weekender" for when you want to go out but don't want to haul a heavy 5th wheel thats cumbersome and can be a bit of a pain to back into some spaces, as far as adding batteries, i wonder if you could add an external connection that ties into the battery setup you have, and have the extra batteries sit in boxes in the bed of the pickup you are hauling the camper with? then when the camper is off of the truck have them sit in the floor out of the way or connected inside via a high current anderson power pole setup or something similar, just an idea, sweet build all the same
Wow thank you for that tip!! I never thought of that!! Such a great idea! Thank you 🙏 😊
no problem brother, hope it works out, i know a lot of electric forklifts use the anderson style connectors, and that's what got me thinking it may work for your setup@@worklessenjoylifemore
A lot of improvement looks great..
Love your two dogs!!! I saw the other video with the tracker.
You did a good job brother it looks good looks comfortable good luck to you man that’s awesome
Mason reminds me of my Min pin that I lost last year after 17 years. He has that look on his face like
" just leave me alone, Bro".
Wow! From a $2,500 junker to a very cool unit. Congrats and great job.
I have been binge watching your videos this weekend! I totally wished I could do what you do!❤
New sub here.
I clicked for the camper.
I stayed for Mason. 😝
Great work! And Mason is adorable!
Amazing! I have always been curious about these truck campers so thanks for sharing. Great job all round. Best wishes.
Hey Larry! You have done an amazing job on your truck camper. It’s really nice! You are very talented! Which do you like better the fifth wheel or the truck camper? ❣️
The truck camper 110%!! The fifth wheel has been nothing but problems!! In fact the flooring has started to separate and sag so now I’m stuck with it 🤷 I can sell it without taking a huge loss.
I plan to remodel the fifth wheel some day and fix all the issues and then probably sell it. I’d like to find a pull behind that’s maybe 25’ and older like the truck camper so I can completely remodel it like how I want.
@@worklessenjoylifemore I’m so sorry you’re having those problems with your fifth wheel. You’re a very talented man and I’m sure you will get it fixed up. I hope you find the perfect pull behind. Thank you for taking us on all of your adventures. Can’t wait for the next video
