• Truck Bed Camper - Eas...
In this video I give an update on the camper shell and how the first 10 nights went for me. There was some good and some bad. This is the review after my first hunting trip sleeping in my camper. I slept 10 nights in a campground.
I have a LEER 180 camper top on my Ram 1500 (5'7" bed).
AND FINALLY!!!!

Tip: You installed your marine plug upside down. Cover flap should point downward, not upward.
Love the marine port idea! As someone who doesn't wanna wire in a bunch of expensive isolation/battery/inverter stuff into the back of a truck, definitely gonna be considering that if I ever want to put in power!
You have a great truck, Matt Damon
I like the shore line idea. I'm definitely doing that with mine!
Good heads up on the extra cushion, door mat, and power plug! Can’t wait for more videos.
100% best truck camping videos I’ve ever seen. This is exactly what I was looking for. Marine plug idea is amazing. Keep up the good work and good luck in the woods!
Nice video thank you for the suggestions.
I initially used a Colman folding cot that I bought at Walmart. I took the legs off and bolted the metal frame to a wooden frame to allow for more under bed storage space. The trampoline like suspension design eliminates the discomfort of a flat solid surface.
Love the marine plug!
Hey brother, I’m a little late to this video so maybe you have fixed your mattress issues already. But if not, check out buying some upholstery foam off Amazon. Comes in many different sizes. All the guys in my family are BIG dudes and we all sleep on it in deer camp and it’s just like having a mattress, don’t feel the frame under you at all. I would suggest 5 inch thick minimum. Just an idea. Keep the great products coming man!
I like the slide out tray/table under the bed. I thought about doing the same thing but with one of those plastic rubbermaid tables where the legs fold out instead. I think you would get more uses out of it as long as the containers would still fit under the bed. Nice update vid.
Simple build, probably the best I’ve seen
Gear tent is a great idea- I slide stuff under the truck and sometimes it still gets wet. I had the same problem with the foam; but, I could not find an air mattress that narrow. I ended up having to make an extension for my sleeping surface.
Take a look at the milliard memory foam mattress 4". I have one for my truck bed and absolutely love it. Can sleep 2 adults on it and never feel the hard bottom.
Outstanding! 👍🏼
Nice little setup !!
Thanks for the tips!
On my last bikepacking trip we spent a night with our tents pitched in a lean-to so we were sleeping on the wooden plank floor. Under my air mattress, under my hips, I added my small Z-seat butt pad by therma-rest. Normally, hard ground hurts my hips, so I really expected the wood floor to be an issue, but... Perfect when I slept on my side.
Make your bed wider and sleep on an angle. Pythagorean Theorem. Get a Milliard 4.5” trifold mattress. $150. Bed rugs makes it cozy for real.
Love the marine plug idea. I just drove 8k miles to michigan and back. spent a month up there fishing for smallmouth and truck camping in my tundra. My bed is 6-5 and im 6-1. Was so perfect and surprisingly warm.
