    This is a video one in a series of videos I will be doing to improve my truck camping set up. This video covers the basic build of the platform and storage drawers. I am by no means a professional at wood working, or anything for that matter. LOL In addition I built this with basically two tools, a battery powered 4.5 inch circular saw, and a drill. In the following videos I will not only be upgrading the set up to have power, water, and other amenities, but I will also be camping in it, possibly living in it. If you enjoy this content, please consider subscribing to the channel and following my Instagram where you will get the inside scoop on what's happening in my life.

    Well that was chaotic 😊👍🏽
    Draw up a plan, measure twice and cut once.

    You should do a explorer overhead console to go with the seats you put in. Your explanation on the wiring for the seats is extremely helpful and I would love to see you do the overhead console.

      @DoinitwithDoug  4 роки тому +1

      I live in Colorado where materials are crazy pricey, but I spent about $250 on the build. I bought everything new though, so if you can source some wood and maybe some carpet I bet you could do it pretty cheap. Thanks for watching Charles.
