I’ve watched a ton of truck camping setups, and no joke - this is one of the most practical, and well thought out setups I’ve seen. It’s clear you use the truck, and know where things should be stored for easy access and all the little comfort things - fans, lights, other necessities. Well done! Please do a video of the truck cab as well.
YAY!!! Thanks so much for the kind words!! I truly appreciate it!!! I will work on a cab video 😉
Super smart, One of the best i've seen yet. Thank you for ideas.
Keith, I agree. Dawn has her truck camper well outfitted and organized. Very practical and tidy.
@@MrRyanmcmahon You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
@@peggyboyd4215 Thank you so much!
I LOVE this! You've answered a lot of the questions I've had as far as removable storage and countertop. I can't build anything and was wondering how I could utilize something practical without having to buy a hammer. You rocked it! Love the decorations and your narration.
Thank you from every girl like me who wants a truck cap set-up but is not a carpenter. ❤
Yay!! Thanks so much Kellie for the kind words!!! I’m so glad I could help! Good luck on your set up and have fun!!
I second that! You're amazing! Beautiful and smart! Love the doggie too!
This is the CUTEST thing EVER!!!! I have different needs but this is AMAZING and of course I love your color coordination! You did such a FANTASTIC job but you already knew that! 😉
Yay!!! Thank you so much for the kind words!! I really appreciate it!! 😊
I'm so late to this party but GIRL! This is fantastic. Idk why it took so long for you to end up in my feed but I'm glad you did and I'm subbing! I LOVE your no-build build and I'm definitely going to use a lot of your ideas once I decide what vehicle I wanna get (truck or van). 😊
Yes!!! Thanks so much for the encouraging words!!! I’m glad I showed up in your feed too 😉. Keep me posted on your vehicle and good luck!! Girl u go this!!!
This is awesome! For those of us with no carpentry skills, or plans to ever aquire any, this is perfect. You have made a home.
Thank you!! Yes, exactly! I originally thought I would set it up so I could figure out what worked best, and then I would build….(have someone else build 😉) but I really like being able to change things out easily.
I have carpentry skills and still weight wise this is better
@@thegardenoffragileegos1845 A few weeks ago, I actually bought a HUSKY organizer on sale at Lowes for under $20.
This was a fantastic tour!!!! What a great set up. i am so glad to see a fellow camper and the way you have used your space!!! I love it!!! Love the color scheme!
Thanks so much!
As Bob Wells would say, you have a GREAT "no build build." This is the best I've seen. EVERYTHING has a place and is planned out. I have solar light bulbs that I bought on Amazon- they're indispensable. For those things that use batteries, I use rechargeable and have a solar battery charger.
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate it! Thanks for those tips!!
I also have solar everything possible 😂. Even have two solar power “bricks” that can charge my phone or run anything usb. They are priceless and the charge lasts a long time.
Absolutely loved this. I have a Tundra with a cap and have only seen one other converted and they insulated the walls covered them with wood etc. Don’t really want to go that route so this was perfect. Would love to see more of the truck and you actually camping. Obviously this is the first time I’ve seen your video. Waiting for more.😊
Thanks so much!! Hopefully you’ve been able to watch a few of my others!
Thank you Dawn! I'm also a truck cap camper, 68 yrs old, and love my truck and the simplicity/ease of using it for weekend getaways. I just loved your decor but even more than that the organization you've created! I've found myself constantly reorganizing before trips but thanks to your ideas that chore may be over. thanks so much for your great video and your beautiful smile.
YAY!! So glad I could help! Thanks a bunch for watching and Happy Camping!!
You can definitely tell it's been decorated, and planned out by a Lady. Very practical, and extremely homey, comfy look. Very nice build.
Thank you!!
I just came across this video & had to look because it is a woman. Yes very organized & decorated really well. Ms. Dawn you is just like me very organized. 😂 Also I have the BlendJet is it amazing. Great Job. ❤️
Hey Dawn! I am a new subscriber to your channel. I am a long-time thru hiker and new to truck camping. I really love your helpful and insightful content, but more than that, I lover your energy, strength, and willingness to “just do it!” Best of health and wishes!! 💪🏽
Thank you so much for the kind words!! I appreciate the sub, and happy truck camping!!
Many great ideas! I've been looking for a shelving setup for my truck camping setup. Your's will work perfectly. And using table runners for curtains.... love that too! Thanks for sharing.
Yay!!! Thank you for watching!!
This is great!
I’ve been 4wheeling for years and nobody needs to build anything.
Take what makes you comfortable
The main objective should be to just get out and enjoy yourself
Thank you!!
Very nicely thought out and executed. My wife and I have a 2015 Nissan Frontier and love it. We're small folks so it works for us. You have given us some great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and you’re welcome. Enjoy your camping times!
This is neatly done. Algorithm recommends your channel. And I enjoyed the tour. You are also a beautiful woman. Bless your journey. I can't do what you can because I am trap with my office work. Watching travel videos makes my heart happy at least I travelled virtually as well.
Thanks so much!! Well I’m glad it recommended my video as it makes me feel good to know I’m helping others in ways I had no idea. I hope you are able to get some time for you in the near future. Thanks again for the kind words and blessings.
Miss Dawn you did an amazing job on this! I started using my truck as a camper as I travel for shows and have definitely learned alot from your setup! Thanks so much for sharing: ))
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow! You thought of everything! What great ideas! Love it! And the colors/design of the blue/black/white in your curtains look so good with your blanket. You have great organizational skills not just thinking everything through! I'm thrilled because it's a great set-up without having to build anything - which seems daunting to me! Thanks for your video! I can't tell you how much this helped me. I would love to see 'how to' stuff, like did you cut the screens for your windows? Not sure how you put that shelf up - I just caught your video so I'll browse the rest of them to see if you addressed the 'how to'....:)
Thanks so much for the awesome comments. I totally understand what you’re saying about “how to” videos. I’ll see what I can do about that. Thanks a bunch!!
Coo shit. Most people never talk about insurance. FYI car insurance won't cover the belongings in your truck. So what do people use? I know I prob have over $15,000 worth of junk in my truck.
Hey Dawn, thanks so much for your hard work putting this vlog together!
I liked seeing all the items you use and where you got them. Stay safe out there, this is Alan, greetings from Riverside in Southern California. Good Bless you Dawn.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it!!
Good for you! You're definitely resourceful and creative an inspirational to people who would like to duplicate what you're doing I've been experimenting with heating up wax in my engine compartment so you bring it in the your sleeping bag at night to keep warm and waxes better than water because it'll stay warm all night
Thanks so much!!
Great setup! I use the cot system too....so simple and easy. Your whole setup looks a lot more cozy than mine though. Great job!
🙂Thank you so much!!
Finally! I’ve been trying to find female truck cap campers because I wanted to see their setup. You knocked it out of the park 😊
YAY!!! Thank you!!!
Phenomenal work and highly inspirational. Are you able to share where you purchased the cool lights and small fans? This is definitely camping magic!
Thank you so very much!!! I have all the info above about the little fans from Amazon. The little changing color pop lights can from the Home Store. I just found them near the check out counter.
Us men can pretty much build anything and make anything work to get by. But wow a woman’s touch on a truck bed camper! Everything is so. Neat and organized and perfect looking. You are awesome
Awwwww thanks a bunch!!!
@@DawnAdventures5678 you are very welcome. Thank you for sharing the videos and giving me some inspiration
Just discovered your channel. Great no build set up! Keep the vids coming! Good vibes all around. 🙂
Thanks so much!!!
Can you show how you secure yourself in the back. I'm wanting to use my truck like you but can figure out how to get the tail gate up and locked from the inside.
Hi! It's a amazing job! Really well done! Far away from the others in youtube. Thx for sharing your experience, i learned a lot! God Bless you and your family!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Happy camping!!
Marry me Dawn!! What a well thought out and organized setup. Impressive!!! I began watching to learn about the camper build and quickly noticed my heart had been stolen by you. You and your truck are perfect. Don't ever change. Love all the blue as it's my favorite color. What a treasure to watch you, your personality, the buildout, and the zest for life in your setup. Slate reminded me of my own K9 goofball Griffin. Wishing you safe and happy travels. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed.
Haha! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the kind words, it put a smile on my face 😊
Thank you for this video! We just ordered a Leer 122 high top for our long bed F250 and plan on using Disc O Bed cots since there are two of us. But we needed some ideas for the rest. And we needed it to come out easily to use the truck bed sometimes. Love the 3 tier cars and shelf - great way to add storage and a contertop.
You are so very welcome! Glad you got some ideas! Enjoy your topper and have fun truck camping!!
Hello Dawn. What a well done and practical video. I learned so many great and practical tips and ideas! Of course, liked and subscribed. Thank you for your time and efforts. It is very much appreciated. Please take the very best of care. Ciao Bella!
Thank you!!
Girl you got THIS!!!! i love this no building smart use of the toilet as a seat to add a function within the van.... You definitely scared me in the first half when you showed that toilet with the pellets omg lol
HAHA!!!! 😂 Thanks so much!!!
I like how everything matches and isn't cluttered!😮😊❤
Thanks a bunch!!
Thank you this is a well done video. One of the most practical truck cab set up I've seen. You gave me some ideas for mine.
Awesome! Thanks so much!!
I want to thank you for the ideas I am going to use in my truck 2008 titan. The shelf idea and the cot with 2 supports over the wheel well. If your ever in or near vegas let me know I woukd like to meet you
I’m so glad I could help! Happy camping!
Informative video! I’m not a camper, but I recently started watching truck camper videos. You did a great job with the colors inside the truck. Be blessed!
Thank you so much!!

👍👍💪🙂👍👍
What a great set-up. I don't believe you forgot a thing. Lots of great little gadgets, I never knew I needed.
Haha!!! Thanks a bunch!!!
Incredibly well thought out. Appreciate you showing this
Thanks so much!!!
The pellets for the toilet is a genius idea. I use a bucket like that too but have needed something to help combat the odors.
Thank you!!
😍love the colors... and using dewalt and husky..very clean looking...
Fabulous 👏👏👏
Thank you!!!
This is great! very nice setup. I believe I have the same cot in my truck. I ended up having to lower mine a bit so that I could sit on it comfortably and still have headspace. Thanks for sharing!
I love this cot!! Smart on lowering it!!! Happy camping and thanks for watching!!
Thank you mam I really enjoyed your tutorial. I learnt some things. Amen God bless you.
You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice. I used a similar approach for my Tacoma based "cap camper". Plastic storage bins and a small shelf along the passenger side. Organized, neat, weather/bug/vermin proof.
The Roll-a-Cot is the way to go...in the heat it breathes...I used a Thermarest pad on mine, then my bed bag. Very comfortable.
Having a simple tarp/canopy rig is nice to have...gives you some shade/rain shelter and a place to stand up in some degree of shelter. A 8x12' tarp and two extendable poles is easy to rig and store. The 8' side goes over your cap, secured by the corner grommets to your rear wheel fender area with bungee cords. Place and stake the poles out and your're done.
Safe travels!
Thanks! Gotta love the cot! Just a little tight when Slade wants to stretch out! Haha! I have 2 awnings and a 10x10 room that zips on. So it makes things very spacious. Enjoy your travels as well!! Happy Camping!
Your camping setup is awesome!!! Enjoy it pretty lady!!! Much love from Bronston, Kentucky 😊
Thanks so much!
Very nice!!! Love it!!! Great ideas for lighting, the curtains and all the velcro and bungie ideas. Love it!!! Veru encouraging for I have never try to do any tools. 😊
Yay! Thanks a bunch!!
Superb video. Most helpful. Thank you. I've been rewatching it as I do my own truck setup...having Dawn demonstrate it is a bonus. Beautiful woman.
Thanks so much!!! I hope you enjoy your truck!!
Very nice setup. We have the same truck, I’m stealing some ideas from you 😎
Thanks so much!! I look forward to seeing what all you do!
Very impressed! You really put some thought into this! Kudos! Come do mine, 2019 F150 SPORT w/ 5.5 bed topped with a standard cab high shell!
Thanks a bunch!! Maybe I need to start a side business haha
Wow, you are way organized. I wish I could be this way in my house let alone a vehicle. You have given me some great ideas. The bungee cord paper towel holder is cool. Thanks.
Hey, I wish I was this organized in my house too 😉. Glad you found some good ideas. Love my bungee chords!! Haha
You got it figured out got your camping going on Happy Trails Thanks 🙏🏼 God Speed
Thank you!!
Hi Dawn. It is so great to see another female truck camper. Your set up is wonderful, i like how you showed there are other possibilities without a huge construction project.
Thank you so much!!
First of all, I've watched this video like 10 times and I've watched all your other camping videos too. They're my favorite truck camping videos and I can't wait to see more! I wanted to ask you about the screens on your windoors. I bought the same thing but different brand and the velcro that's attached to the screen is the Loop side, not the Hook side. Was it the same for the brand you bought? Did you attach the sitcky hook side around your windoors on the inside of the truck cap? Or were you able to just attach the screen right to the carpet inside the cap? I have that too but since the loop side is on the screen, it doesn't adhere to the carpet. I'm planning on borrowing many of your ideas. So original and practical, fun and cute! You go girl!
Thanks so much!!! My screen didn’t have any Velcro attached. I need to dbl check to see what I did. Someone asked if I would do “how to” videos, so maybe i can do the screen one.
Love this video VJust got a truck shell camper. Can’t wait to fix it upYour ideals are great!! But where do I keep your clothes and where could I find a cot that goes over wheel wells! Loved watching u show so much of utilization…Also love your dog❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you!! When I camp in the fall or colder months, I put an extra stash of clothes and jackets etc in a big duffel bag that’s plastic (to make sure it stays dry) and I put it under the cot. My “just in case” bag. Haha! The cot I have has been sold out on Amazon. 😔. Glad I could help! Happy camping!
New subscriber. Great video.

Thanks so much!!
Dawn, your truck camper is ADORABLE!! You have totally inspired me to do something similar in my Tundra! I love how you have made a darling little comfortable and designer home away from home. Happy Camping.
YAY! Thanks so much for the kind words! I hope you have fun in your Tundra. Keep me posted!
of all the GUY TRUCK camper builds this lady beats them all bc she still has use of her truck and does not have all that build-in and wiring...
WooHoo!! Thank you!!
Dawn I love your setup, and using alot of your ideas to make my cap comfortable. As you mentioned, want to setup something that is easy to take out when you need to use the truck of your bed and set back up when going camping. Thanks for your video and ideas!
You are so welcome! Glad you got some ideas!
Thank you so much once again for this video. I watched this a couple months ago now I'm manifesting this within the next month!!!!
YES!!! Excited for you!
I would like to know how long do your camping last per session? 👊💥💕
I would not show everything in my camp gear arsenal that is for sure. I hope she has safety precautions in place.
It depends. Mainly on the weather. Yep, I have safety precautions in place
First time I’ve come across you. You have some great, simple ideas that I’m going to borrow from you. Thank you!
Awesome!! Thank you!
Wow, someone who is obsessed with lights and lighting as I am. Must be a name for people like us, like illuminaddicts.
Haha! Yes! We are Illuminaddicts!💡
I would like to know can you live in your truck year round?
I have a truck like your and I want to live in my truck because I am homeless. Can you go into more detail on how you did your truck please?
I’m sure some people live in their truck year round. I do not. Good Luck!
I wish you'd have shown the outside and cab, and also where do u keep your clothes, footwear, etc ??
I’m planning on doing a cab video. But my extra clothes and footwear stay in a tub, well now a bag under the cot.
You did great Gurl!!! Wondering how tall you are? I’m thinking of keeping my truck now and doing that. I was thinking of getting a van but now I love your idea!! Thanks for sharing and INSPIRING!!!!
The husky system is amazing!!😮❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!
You are beautiful sis and I loved the tour and your good ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much sis!! I appreciate it!
Wow,another way to use pine pellets! I normally use them in my chicken coop but this is a great idea. Going dispersed camping with my daughter in a couple of weeks. Going to be sleeping in the cabin of my ford f150. Thanks for the video!
They really do the trick!!! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great trip with your daughter!
I love your curtain border. You gave me such a beautiful idea
Thanks a bunch! Cute ribbon and fabric glue 😉
You have a nice layout in your truck. I look forward to following your page! 👍
Thanks so much!! I appreciate it!
I have been watching truck camper setups for over a year.... Probably well over a 100 different people.... And everybody has their own style obviously..... It is a proven fact that while men come up with good ideas and they know how to put things together..... It is generally a woman that comes up with the finesse to make it look good and efficient.......
So I would have to say that this is the nicest setup I have seen yet..
And you could see very clearly that that was not feces in the bottom of the portable toilet... At 1st glance it looked more like dry corn...
You sound southern....plus the expression, "y'all "..... what state are you from??
Thank you for the video young lady..
Awwwww thank you so very much for the kind words! I truly appreciate it! I’m from the Bluegrass State! KY!
@@DawnAdventures5678
Definitely south
Im from New Orleans......
Live in Wyoming now
Love everything about this non build build! It’s brilliant. ❤️
Thank you so very much!!
Some great ideas, less complicated than many wood-based builds.
Thank you!!!
Sapphire of solitude?😂
Love it!!!
What a marvelous & practical build. Thank you for giving me some excellent ideas for my setup.💎
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
I’ve watched a lot of camping/van life/trailer/overlanding videos, and the stuff that you’ve done with your truck is amazing. You’ve done stuff that I don’t think I’ve seen other people do but makes so much sense (e.g. the magnetic screens for the windows!!! I use that for my back door but on your truck/camper is genius, and I love the different lights you use including the colored lights). It all makes so much sense and looks so neat and cozy.
Also, the carpeting on the inside is genius. It keeps things quiet but also can be used for the Velcro - genius.
Please make more videos!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Great job, I use the camp time roll-a-cot in the back of my Tacoma too
Saw this pop up on the FB page
Very well thought out 👍🏻
Thanks a bunch!!!
Aloha Dawn! Love your content…looking at getting started. Could you list brand and model of your camper shell cap? I like the extra head room. Can’t believe how much these cost but willing to bite the bullet…possibly also the cot, SIZE AND WHERE YOU BOUGHT UT. Thank you so much! Best of luck and stay safe!
Are you in your backyard but not a full time truck life gal ?
Correct. I’m not full time.
Your little truck set up looks great so nice and neat too and I LOVE YOUR LIGHT/SIGN that is beyond adorable....can I also give a shout out to any & all ladies camping or road tripping on their own woohoo God bless you and stay safe.
Yay!! Thanks so much!!!
Very useful and practical information. No build is so right now. Check out Tim y'all. Coolest guy in van life. So creative with budget ideas. Awesome!! MobangFoYoBucks channel. 🥰
Those remote controlled LED strip lights, battery power or???? I want them for sure. I bought some motion sensor soft light for closets that I think will be good for seeing. They can be turned on by switch or motion. But I like the colors for chilling
Wow, this is the best truck set up I've seen so far....awesome job
Yay!! Thank you!!
Cute, practical, and cozy camper on wheels. Very nice modular build that can be removed for truck use anytime. Its also lightweight so easy for a woman to move around. Great job, gal! Nice to see women go solo camping. Happy travels.
Thank you so very much!!
Dawn thank you, I am retired on a budget. This will work for me. My late wife threatened to call 911 if I picked a screwdriver on anything sharp. I like to travel and this would work out great 👍
Yay! You are so very welcome!!! Haha! Well make sure not to pick up anything sharp!! Good luck on your set up and keep me posted!
I'm just now seeing this video, I love your truck setup!
Thanks so much!!
My vehicle is a hot mess compared to this!!! Nice area how are you keeping the jackery dry and humidity free??
Thank you! I don’t keep the jackery in my truck when I’m not camping, so I haven’t had any issues
@@DawnAdventures5678 what about when you are camping? Do u just leave it in the back of the truck and keep it cool/dry somehow?
Hey Mrs Dawn ❤️ I just stumbled across you and I am happy I did ❤️ you're so beautiful and I loved your video ❤️ I'm considering living In a vehicle so this was a Little inspiration for me ❤️ 🙏 can't hardly afford bills and rent anymore. It's literally draining me and I am a single black woman nearly making ends meet. I make enough to pay a bill and rent and pay to go right back to work and I'm broke right after I get my check. The cost of living is horrific 🙏 so I am trying to come up with a way that I can live on little to none and save my $ for expenses I really need. So thank you for this video sweet mama 😀 ❤️ much love to you from the Carolinas ❤️ you sound country like me ❤️
Nice, informative video. Well done! Thanks, I appreciate it.
Thank you for watching!
Very cool, thorough. I never thought to cover magnets in duct tape! Great idea, thank you.
You’re welcome! Duct tape for the win!!
Love this. You just changed my mind about building cabinets!
Ha! Thank you! Hopefully I helped make things a little easier 😉
This is a great life style if you can earn an income from home.
Yep. I’m not a full timer.
I’m loving this! Wish I had a 6’ bed on my truck instead of 5’. (Tacoma OR with ARE MX top.) And you’re correct - you can never have too many flashlights. 😁😁
Thank you so much!! Crazy how 1 extra foot can make a huge difference! I think I’ve added a light or two since this video 😂
I loved it! ❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️
YAY! Thank you!
Hello Dawn, in my opinion it would be great if you could do a video with everything you take in the bins and such so we can ensure we don't forget something. Great video thanks!
Beautiful no build
Would you show your other campers as well? Which is your favorite?
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Dawn's truck-camper is the fairest of them all! Seriously, of all the build and no-build truck-campers i've seen on youtube, yours blows them all away.
YAY!!! Thanks so much!!!
What an awesome setup! I will be using this for my truck. Thanks!!
Thank you!! Glad I could help!
I'm planning my set up now and don't want a permanent build. Yours is an excellent set up. I plan on copying many of your ideas. Great job!
YAY! Thanks so much!! I’d love to see it you get it done!!
Love your mom build these are some of my favorite rigs builds to watch because those fancy build outs are not in my budget and your build out is very nice to look at and looks comfy and homey
Thank you!!!
I've seen those little trays on wheels at the 99 cent store...but look kind of cheap...but strong..
