    The trifecta of great truck camper videos is Dispersed Camper Man, Kenny of All Trades, and Work Less, Travel More. You guys are the ones I love watching the most, after seeing literally everything else over the past two years as I dream of retirement. Thank you so much.

      Absolutely, Lance makes a great camper! I watch other fulltime UA-camrs and I get a little jealous of all the traveling they do. At least my channel shows that even working a regular 45 hour a week job there's still time to travel in the truck camper.

    I understand the background noise thing too. And every camper I always put these multi led lights up somewhere too, like the warmth atmosphere they create and soft light. But i’m not understanding how your hooking them up for power, n ya the simple stuff goes over my head I keep looking for complexity. I could bomb-bard you with questions…..😬
    And I think you know now Lol, i’m the most pathetic cook on planet earth so keep cooking eh! What is so funny is I love noodles and have never thought of using a splash screen as a strainer. That was a ‘da’! moment for me alright, lol. Your orange pan looks like a gotham pan? If so i got the noodle pot a couple years ago, tis my fav, super light comes with a glass lid for straining and a snap to clean out too. Never seen that salad stuff before am gonna see if I can find it. 🍻

    • @KennyOfAllTrades
      @KennyOfAllTrades  2 роки тому +1

      The led lights are powered off a 120 Volt circuit. I used the inverter I placed in the bedroom closet that powers the TV. That way I don't have to be plugged into shore power or running my generator in order to have the lights on.

    Hey Kenny, wanted to reach out to you and let you know my wife and I are from Maine and we are enjoying the videos, we just bought a truck camper last year for the sole purpose of boondocking in the great Maine woods. We have been sitting here in the living room watching on TV. so we decided to go back to your first episode after randomly watching a couple. We enjoyed episode 3 and 4 when Mandy was with you, hoping we were going to meet her.
    Keep up the great journeys, and we'll see you down the road.

So far Mandi has chosen to stay out of the videos. She is able to travel with me 20% of the time, I have snuck her reflection into a few videos. Maybe one day she will change her mind. She tells me the UA-cam channel is my thing. I hope you guys enjoy the truck camper as much as Mandi and I do. Safe travels!
