    Best build I've seen so far and it's inside a small bed. I have to say the cabinets look professionally built for a camper; they don't look home/hand made. Nice work!

    I’ve only discovered these campers recently and they are super impressive . We have very similar type campers here in Australia but they come fitted out with cupboards, etc . The fact that these are available as a “shell” is brilliant , you can customise the layout , cupboards to your own needs is fantastic. Please make these available in Australia. 🇦🇺

    I seriously doubt that anyone has "better ideas" on a build out, and you could make a fortune doing them for consumers of any of the pop top campers! I'm going to sell my 2022 Bronco BD 4 Dr w/2.3 MT as soon as a 2024 Taco Off Road w/6' bed optioned the way I want becomes available and I can snag it, and the Tune M1 is my choice (after I sell my 2023 TAG XL Boondock teardrop), and what they've done with their design and workmanship is very impressive, and at 5'4" I'll probably get the Decked drawer and not have anything to worry about as far as clearance! Thanks for this great video, Pete, and happy trails!

    Can you run the solar wire along side the lifting mechanism it'll look cleaner that way. Use a race way or stick on ziptie mount along the ceiling towards the lift mechanism. And then do the same on the side of the metal lifting arm. Leave a bit of slack near joints

    Pete, congratulations - your build out is thoughtfully done and appears very functional given the small footprint. Re: your solar install, you might want to just dress up the inside wiring vs. redoing it. Q for you: What have you done - and how well has it worked - to prevent dust penetration/accumulation inside that nicely finished interior? Good job!

    Hi Pete! My wife and are about to take the plunge into “adventure vehicles” and this is also an option we are looking at. I really like the fact your using an induction stove and the gas tank for heating. Who installed the heater? What is the model, and how has it ran so far? (I am also a CO resident if it helps). Thanks for posting!

    • @petevastyan

      The flared sides are actually really nice. Since they taper up from the bed rails and not straight out, they don’t interfere with the mirrors at all. I definitely don’t see the need for extended mirrors at all.

The cabinets are 3/4” bass wood cabinet ply with wilsonart laminate. The counter is a custom walnut and maple glue up with a bar top epoxy finish. The flooring was an LVP from floor&decor.

    Love the couple of videos with the Tune M1 camper. We are looking to buy one and have a question for you. Do you have a problem with dust in the back of the truck while traveling on dirt/gravel roads? I heard this might be a problem with the Tune M1 and would get all of the stuff very dirty. Your response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    • @petevastyan
      @petevastyan  8 місяців тому
