    This incredible truck camper was built to fit into the lives of Becca & Jason perfectly & it couldn't be any cooler! Adventure loving Jason lived in his Jeep when he met Becca, who decided she wanted to give life on the road a chance, but felt like they needed a bit more space. Enter their awesome truck camper, "Yld."
    Yld features a functional kitchen with a deep sink, a sliding pantry & closet, a hidden indoor shower, a California King sized bed, & an ingenious electrical system. On the roof of their camper is a wapping 2,200 watts of solar panels built using a layered, slide out, electrical system. From their epic use of space, to their massive battery system, this truck camper has it all.

    I think this is a very smart layout and efficient use of the space. They put a lot of thought into this and it really shows.
    I been building tiny homes, van homes etc for years. This is impressive, i give them props for this. Youngsters being active is also nice to see.

    Finally, people that understand that every extra pound of weight is a detriment. Extra weight leads to worse gas mileage, faster tire wear, more wear and tear on the engine which ends up costing more money. Good job guys.
    Fisher & Paykel offers a single drawer dishwasher that only uses 6.85 liters of water per cycle, Bosch's German website has several countertop, single drawer, or slim dishwashers that again use less than 8 liters for a full cycle, it is impossible to hand wash a full load of dishes with such little water and your dishes are truly sanitized.

    I love this build! I would definitely like to have an adventure vehicle like this one!! As a smart-home enthusiast I’m wondering; For your floodlights, did you connect your truck’s aux switches to an esp32, so you can also control certain things with the aux switches as well as the app? As I’d say that’s simpler when driving?

  • @vonheise
    @vonheise Рік тому +2

    Great setup with all the automation, however, most of us would want a bit more space. I always wanted to build a cabover box truck but we ended up towing a 20' camper which is great to unhook and make day trips or even tent camp if we choose. The truck has a hotspot in the computer set up so we can watch and control things from the truck.

    • @decidetheyld
      @decidetheyld Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching Kenneth! I can see how a family might want more space, but for the 2 of us and our dog this camper is perfect! We opted for the 8ft truck bed and with the tall ceilings on this camper it feels plenty roomy for us.

  • @zalleywaalley8227

    , Talking about being afraid of running out of water when you have 30 something gallons I think you said. I use a spray bottle lol a 32 ounce spray bottle one has dish soap and water in it, the other one has clean water and just a little bit of white vinegar. It’s just me but doing my dishes with those spray bottles last month lol

    • @decidetheyld
      @decidetheyld Рік тому

      So many people operate with less but with just the 2 of us with our dog we drink almost 75% of our water every week! We used to have 32 gallons in our last build and now have a 20 gallon tank with a 5 gallon backup that we rarely use!

  • @jimhopkins9675
    @jimhopkins9675 Рік тому +2

    Very impressive! Especially since you've done it on an F150 platform AND that you've really maximized your solar intake. One suggestion I have is to ditch overuse of the word "like" during your narrative; it's somewhat annoying.

    @Enjoywatchingyoutube8227 Рік тому +2

    Hi I like your camper.i am sure it's hard living in a small space and sometimes privacy is needed. I wish the best . One comment is the air draft in the front given the top is not meeting the truck top, have you thought about adding wind deflectors or maybe a slide out storage compartment to fill the gap ,I bet it would increase gas mileage. Safe travels

    I greatly admire your attention to detail in planning and executing on your build. I'm in the planning stage of my own build using the same platform, 22 F-150 RCLB HDPP. Before seeing this video, I'd not seen any using this vehicle. Great job with your new home and hope to see you on the road someday! Do you have any build videos or posts somewhere? I'm always eager to learn and improve my plan. Best Wishes! PS. Curious how your camper affected MPG.

    Very well designed for the intended purpose.
    It doesn't look like the camper is ever removed - while that would be possible, it has no jacks, for instance. Why keep the pickup box, instead of removing the box to save weight and provide more space?

    • @decidetheyld
      @decidetheyld Рік тому +2

      Thanks for watching Brian! We do have jacks for the camper actually, we just remove them when we hit the road from our home base in Wisconsin. That way we have a fully functioning vehicle to drive around when we're back for the holidays with our families. A flatbed truck camper was something we strongly considered before starting this build so definitely pros to going that route as well 👍
