Vagabond Drifter Truck Bed Tiny Home Tour - Solo Female Traveler
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 гру 2021
- This episode of my tiny home on wheels tour is of my Vagabond Drifter camper and the homemade buildout in the truck bed. Living as a solo female traveler, this walk around reveals my unique home that makes life on the road a reality.
I forgot to mention in the video that I have a portable cassette toilet that is stashed away in the driver-side bench. I can pull that out and use within the confines of the camper if needs be.

As always, thank you so much for watching! 🤘🏻 Leave a comment if you liked this video.
cool set up got a 2022 pro4x king cab wondering would it fit ...and price of set up ,,look forward see more of your adventures.
One of the coolest Bed camper setups ive seen on youtube for sure!
im 100% taking some inspiration from this build, thanks for showing
Simple but effective builds are my favorite, it requires creativity to make it best work
Anyone not inspired by you is hopeless. Amazing
Kind words! Thank you. ❤️
I love your build out! I may consider having a foldout extension of the couch for stealth camping or for having a guest whenever I get a truck camper one day!
This is the best second gen Tacoma build out I’ve ever seen! Great job on everything, truly badass!!🤙🤙
Cheers from B.C. Canada .Had my 82 sr5 toyota for 13 years.
Love it, thanks for your episode, very inspiring, appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!
A super unique build and yay to the women that do truck bed/cap camping.
Thanks Stephanie
Nice vid Cristin. I was pleasantly surprised to see Vagabond's are made in Benicia... my alma-mater. Go Panthers... Class of 1975 :)
Nice Set up!! This is one of the best I've seen in a Tacoma.
Very homey, I like the cushion covers and the grey stain wood.
Pine Valley Mountain looks cool in the background.
Looks like a sweet setup... looking to do the same or similar on my truck.
Awesome setup
That thing is awesome! Nice work and great videos!
I want that camper, that thing is freaking cool.....nice job on the build
Thank you!
@@BadassBrunette of course
Thanks for sharing. Happy for you. Please stay safe.
Such a good walkaround:). Great job. Safe travels
Awesome setup! Love the truck
Excellent work.
Really like how it all goes together.
Be safe out there, please.
Great build and a better inspiration. Thanks for your commitment and example.
You are indeed an inspiring woman.. Great job !
Thank you kindly! Cheers!
Love the Drifter. Can't wait to get mine .
What a great Build !! That is a really nice space to live! I have a 2001 4Runner I'd like to make into a small camper but it would be cramped. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome build, thanks for sharing! Your design is the most versatile and efficient I’ve ever seen.
You have a cool set up, thanks for sharing it. This is a thoughtful set up and sounds like your supper stoked to be in it. That is just awesome.
Thanks for watching Annie!
Great video! We are getting an AT Overland Atlas in two weeks and I love how you built out the back of your Taco. I think I'll be watching this vid a few times to copy your ideas for my Taco. So many folks build so much into the back that there isn't any place to "live". It looks to me like you found the sweet spot to store your things and live comfortably. Thanks for sharing! (I liked and subscribed)
Legend, great video. Looking good!
You should be proud of your home on wheels. Thanks
Awesome setup! Enjoy the journey. I’ve just started mine and I’m loving getting out more with my truck tent
1st time seeing your channel...love it and love the tour 😎
Like the Wander sign
This looks amazing! So glad that you are able to travel and do the things you love!
Thanks so much ❤
Fun video, very well covered and built. Bravo! Thanks for some great inspiration. Take care and be well. Love the the build. I gave the same little stool to my sister, and she loves it too. short people rule!
Great, informative videos. I'm getting ready to switch to a truck and it's good to see a wedge camper that seems practical in a 5' bed. While I'd prefer a 6 footer/access cab there are just a few available whereas the bigger cab shorter bed seems much more more common. I'd probably opt for storage in the back seat area of the bigger cab but that's easy to do.
Your build is so clean, great inspo for when I ultimately redo ours. And someday we’ll eventually get our Drifter so it’s so exciting to remember why we’re waiting!
The wait is the worst part. Excited for you guys to get yours!
Hey instead of a van perhaps an aliner trailer, they collapse are maneuverable. Would massively expand your living space while being more affordable then a van. Short enough to get into national parks. That's the combo I'm considering
Great, well thought out design/build.
Sweet setup, so functional and helped us with a few upgrades for our camper we were curious about
Stoked to hear it helped!
Cristin this is a rad build! Thanks for sharing your creativity. So many ideas!!!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment Lori!
Nice cozy space!
Классно придумано и отлично исполнено! Молодцы!
LOVE IT!!! Nicely done!
Thanks for the tour and inspiration!
Thanks for watching!
I'd say this is the best set up I've for this type of platform. You've really made your own and it looks awesome. I have a 2012 Tacoma and would LOVE to have it set up just like yours.
Thank you so much for sharing. :)
Thanks for the comment Bernard!
Hi, I am a Partly Handicapped 63 year old Artist from India, lovely Build your Camper van , I wish I make it and travel a lot , god bless you and enjoy ( liked and subscribe )
You did an outstanding job of doing a walk around ... You have a very nice set up ! Thanks for sharing !
Awesome video I can’t wait to do something similar with my truck! I really love that you put your tall shelves toward the cab of the truck as opposed to the tail. Makes a lot more sense!
Thanks for the comment! Yeah those taller ones sit nicely under the sleeping platform, so when the tent is open it feels just a tad more open.
Sick setup!
That was a really well thought through set up. I don’t follow this type of content but I enjoyed the walk through. It was simple yet very functional. Good job.
Thanks for taking time to watch it and leave a comment!
I like that, been watching different videos for ideas for setting up the back of my pick up truck 2001 Silverado Z 71, I love this set up that is awesome. I did subscribe like to learn more appreciate you sharing happy New Year’s Eve to you and happy camping
That's an awesome setup!
Great setup. I've got a tip regarding your LED strip lighting that you might find useful.
If you attached the lighting strips with the self-sticking tape that the strips usually come with, you'll probably find the strips coming loose with changes in temperature, vibration, etc.. The permanent cure is to attach the strips with CA glue (Amazon or Home Depot - get the type with the accelerator). I used this method for my shop lights after they fell down a couple of times and it solved my problems. Good luck.
Thanks for the tip! So far I've been pretty fortunate and in the couple of years those have been up there they haven't come detached yet. But if they ever do, I'll be sure to refer to this tip!
Awesome, I’ve been waiting for this video. I love it.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.
Great walk around. You made a lot of great improvements on your rig!
Thanks for watching!
So cool very inspired from your video 🤙🏾
Love the table, your truck is awesome
Woooo!!! So awesome.
Thanks!!
Yay part 2
Well done!
This is badass, lol. I want to do something with my single cab ram 1500 classic. I’ll figure something out, I really like the mat thing on the back and the rug and cushion covers.
Impressive build!
Nice, enjoy your personality
Great video!
Hi Cristin, I love your build and how cozy you’ve made it feel. We got our Drifter last June and are finally able to ditch the temporary plastic bins and build it out. I’d love to know the width of your aisle down the middle of the cabinets. I’m working on the plans now and I’m trying to decide how wide the aisle should be. It’s a tough balance of having storage space but not wanting to cramp the aisle too much. I’ve been enjoying all your videos! Thanks so much!
Nice layout and great tour.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome build/interior! Inspiration for my rig.🙌 I actually live right across the road from that spot, and there are some great dirt bike trails there🤫. Awesome rig!🤙🏽
You and the truck 😍
Sweet rig, keep putting out sick content! Got a great thing going and your channel could be big
Adding to this - would love a video in detail about the cabinet and drawer system and how you built it. I know you said a friend helped you, but any info and extra detail on your design/build process would be amazing. I'm about to have a topper just like yours and this looks like the perfect way to build out the bed for utility and livability.
Big Fan, keep it up !
Beautiful build!!!! I just built our cabinets/benches out of the same stuff. I am not sure why more people aren't using these connectors and aluminum?? Such a simple way to build and though more expensive than wood, it is so much lighter and less expensive than the 8020 stuff. Anyway, great build and video!! 🤙
Very nice rig and setup.
Just came across your channel, I wish you much success and viewer growth! I’m jealous of your traveling life! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much Chris! Cheers!
Fantastic build! You thought of everything 👍😎 Quite impressed! Enjoy your travels! B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Awesome build! I’ll eventually have a build out like this one day :)
Awesome build ! I’ve loved seeing your Instagram and never followed your UA-cam until now, I’ve been missing out !
Thanks for joining me on the UA-cam side! 🤘🏻
Nice setup...
Awesome truck, cool person 😎 👌
What a great camper and build. Highly functional and it even looks nice. I agree about locking from the inside. Of course someone could get in if they really want to but the commotion would wake you up and give you enough time to protect yourself. How are you keeping your food cold?
I have that very stool and love it. Great looking truck
Agreed! That little step stool is the BEST. Comes in handy all the time.
Very cool video
Very cool set up! I’m trying to get my first truck/ camper by hopefully mid next year. I won’t go as hard as yours, I’ll on,y do weekend camping. But this gives me some cool vibes to aspire.
Super nice set up !
Thanks Angel!
Really like your build. A place to sleep, sit & work, cook. What else do you need?? And the security is definitely a nice feature. Well done!
Love your setups. I hope to someday soon do as you have done.
Live it up!
Eduardo
Very nice
I also have a Renogy system, 600 watts, and 2× 100 amp Lithium batteries... However I did upgrade to the - 50 amp DC - DC charge controller which will allow you to charge the batteries while running your truck... idling or driving... it will change between solar & alternator and will keep your truck battery full....covers those cloudy stormy days...
Love the build. Looking at doing something similar to my access cab. I am building a little at time.
Nothing wrong with taking the build slow. That way you can dial in exactly what you want over time.
Nice vid
Great build Cristin! Thanks for sharing! Looks like Vagabond truck campers, like many other outfitters, are 12 + months out! 😔 Stay safe! Cheers! 👍🏻🍻🇺🇸
Yesssss!!!
just wandered across your channel and LOVE it- kudos for links etc... go get yourself a CO detector to go with that heater tho!!!! Like just suck it up and do it... like on boats, you never know when some weird backdraft gets created that blows back inside and becomes a "content limiting event" :)
This is exactly what I’ve drawn up on a notepad. Thanks for sharing!! Really gives me a better idea in terms of approach and priorities. Do you have links for the tubing and connectors? Those are perfect!
Loved the walk around , but was curious about the cab of the truck and what you have installed in there, or maybe you covered that in part 1. Looking good as always.
Hey Kiddo! Great build! :)
Thanks Greg!
This is what I've been looking for! One of the best, if not the best, DIY build. Is there a build video/blog? I'm def doing this to my truck. Thanks for sharing
This tour is amazing! #RIGSWEDIG
I see your patch from Ouray Colorado!! 😀 👍
Great video…LOVE your tiny home! What a cool lifestyle! Makes me want to hit the road. One question…what do you do for a living?
Nice design and well thought out. Any changes you would add/make since living in it?
Loved the build, I just bought a new 2023 Tacoma 5 inch bed and your set up is perfect. Where did you get the 1 inch aluminum tubing and that we connectors from. Also did you Video that install?
