Hotshot Stuff
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2020
This channel is geared towards stuff in the hotshot truck world, mainly the power unit itself and things dealing with it. It will focus on different things that I do or use as well as how I save money out on the road!
There will also be videos about my home life on our small acreage in Missouri, as well as some hunting, fishing, and photography trips as I travel around the country. I hope there is some useful information for you!

Best Hotshot Pickup Sleeper Air Conditioning Setup! Save $$$ and stop idling when off duty!
How’s it holding up, I just ordered one for my 870. Ran into the same problem I had to order the 8mm
Thanks for watching! The sights have held up well with no issues. I have fired it a few times doing ammo testing and did carry it during last spring turkey season. And I’ll use it again this year!
You use a Generator! You never have an issue with heat or AC!! The questions everyone want to know is how to run Heat and AC with BATTERIES!!! And we know now it is a lot of Battery power to do that.
Good idea
I want to see how you made your bed brother
@@sleepisoulja i basically took out the back seat for maximum room. Slid the front seats as far forward as possible. Then measured out the area for the total length and width. I put the seats in the operating position and re measured for the main bunk platform. I used 2x2 pine and built a frame for the bunk to make the top of the bunk even with the bottom of the door windows. I added a second bunk piece secure with hinges that folds up when the front seats are in operation position and folds down when they are slid forward. Covered the deck with glued down outdoor carpet. Added some 2x2 cross bracing for strength to the frame underneath. Bought a piece of foam rubber (I would recommend 4” extra firm) and cut it to fifth the platform, splitting it where the two deck pieces joined so the mattress can fold up with the deck when driving. My wife helped me make a sheet that fit both pieces of mattress. Good luck sir!
I just let my truck idle. Am I really wasting that much? Silverado 2500 6.0. I let it idle for days sometimes weeks
If your truck has a 6.0 that’s a gasoline engine I believe? Just be sure your doing your oil changes off your hour meter and not miles.
Thanks so much
Thank you, im about to do this temporarily. 2500 miles and the ac i have doesnt push hard. So i am going to do this process. Ty ty
Good to hear and good luck with the install. Let me know how it works out for you.
All I can say is that , Very Good video and the part about moving the sights the wrong way on the elevation Many people make the same mistake so easy to do. I would say you have a great pattern , I love my Fieldmaster same gun as you have just a fancy name when Remington came back after their financial issues. Rugged, reliable and barrels are cheap . I purchased a slug barrel 18 1/2smooth bore , very accurate with Foster .725 slugs . Imagine what Tungsten turkey loads would do in your gun 50 yards no problems with 9'sj.I am also happy with my patterns using the Modified Rem Choke and my reloads. Nothing like patterning.
@@curtiseggemeyer5681 thanks Sir!
I would consider looking into a few lithium batteries with a DC to DC charger then the truck will charge it because your driving a lot so it will charge fully then at night you can use up all the batteries if your doing this a lot it would save you money in the long run
Really creative setup. Nice job.
I'd rather idle my truck It's got to be quieter than that. Generator roaring all night.
Nice, I run this same Spitfire 1X on my Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol 12ga.
They are a solid optic for sure!
They don’t make anything more factory for this?
how about just get a camper for the ruck bed.
Can’t do, hauled 5th wheel trailers.
Did that do anything? I have the same truck, but a 2500. My fan comes on randomly. Dealer said they couldn’t replicate the issue so we changed out the clutch-did the same thing. I changed my air filter back to own and that seemed to have helped a little, but now it’s back to running a lot. I was running 192-195, now I get up to 204 sometimes until it cools down.
Cleaning the radiator did help some, I also took it to the dealership and had them do a complete cooling system flush.
That might work okay inside but I don't think I'd use it outside too much dirt out here
great setup! on a very hot night how many gallons of fuel would you use?
Depending on the generator but mine would burn a gallon in about 7 hours if it was real hot and humid. The generator will shut off and I just sleep till the alarm goes off. Other option is to turn up the thermostat when it’s really hot to get more run time. My last option is To idle the truck if it’s too hot to sleep when the generator shuts off
Did you think about having the barrel bent?
Un scrocco bruttissimo
It looks like that red dot is mounted to high! How do you keep your cheek on the stock and still see through the red dot ? Just my opinion.
Like any scope they do set up higher than using the bead on the barrel. I have this optic as low as it will mount. With this shotgun I can keep my jaw on the stock when shooting. One other thing I have done is to tape a piece of water pipe foam insulation on top of the stock, and then put the cheek cover as seen on this gun.
Dude I could have made this 10X easier for you. Hopefully you changed everything by now. Have an AC set up for the summer and a diesel heater for the winter. Takes me 5 min or less to set up. I use a 2k generator for the AC and the heater is powered off a 12v batter.
Hey. How are you liking your those. I’m in the same boat in that my gun shoot way to the right and low. Considered buying a red dot but ain’t got the money rn. Was wondering how you liked them and how they compared to a normal beed
I’ll be sighting it in next week and I can let you know. I will try and get a video up next week.
Brlliant 👍
Wow, to have an actual operator show you around would be cool. Not many of those guys around anymore.There never was all that many to start with. Nice film
Thanks! His name is David (Big Dave) Kimrey and he is my dad. The young boy is his great grandson Clayton. We traveled to Brutus that day with my Son Inlaw, his father, and Clayton to see Brutus and my dad. It was a good day!
Good to hear that you like the sights. I will be getting mine dialed in soon!
I put this sight on my 935. I really like it, Def not a wing shooting sight, but with the pinpoint alignment the sight gives, there should be no wing shooting there after the first shot 😂
Why would you advertise your location?
Well the area is already pretty well known and somewhat large. Also I didn’t give my exact location, and most hunters aren’t going to be willing to pack in and sleep on the ground to turkey hunt. With that being said I would probably take just about anyone hunting who asked me lol. Thanks for watching and good luck!
great video
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!!
Nice job!😀
go buy a semi truck with a sleeper. will be much better.
Hey cooper from clayton
I can't find a straightforward answer to the question of is it legal to sleep in the hotshot truck when it doesn't meet DOT standards... are you marking off duty or sleeping berth?
Off duty.
Anyone use a window unit?
I have actually seen guys use them in either side or rear glass. You would have to set it up each night though
@@hotshotstuff8080 I wouldn't mind. I'm toasting out here in Texas. Truck be smelling like smoked brisket.
@@jroyfishing that’s too bad! Can you idle the truck and use the air until you can get something setup
Just an idea but why not use the AC you already have for the truck? Connect a motor to the compressor so you don't have to run it of course and use the generator to power it or just upgrade to a bigger alternator.
Might be a good idea but I wouldn’t even begin to know how to do that.
How you gonna connect and what motor to the A/C compressor of truck when it's still connected to the truck motor? How you gonna control that system when truck is off? How you gonna control the a/c controls of the truck and the fan to blow it through the vents?
How many turkey gobbles are in the video? I know how many I heard…
No where near as many as the raw unedited videos have lol. They were plagued with constant gobbling! We had as many as 6 different gobblers around us while filming that morning.
Nice truck!!!
Love watching your videos
Thanks! Glad you like them
Time you spend all the money to set all this up, might as well just let your truck idle. Diesel isn’t that expensive. This just isn’t practice money nor time wise. Smh
I guess it just depends on one’s bank account. You will burn 5 gal diesel a night idling verses 1 gallon gas in a generator. That’s around $15 per night saving on fuel cost. Now take that 28 days a month $15x28=$420 per month. Now take $420x12=$5040 per year savings on fuel cost alone, not to mention saving on diesel engine maintenance(which if your idling should be done on engine hours and not mileage). I spent around $700 for everything to setup the air and heat with generator, which has lasting over 2 years now. So for discussion let’s say you buy a new generator and air unit every year and see how much is left; $5040-$700=$4340. Now let’s say you run your truck 5 years before replacing it. $4340x5=$21,700.00 over the life of the truck, not counting extra engine maintenance and wear and tear. I’m not sure about others but I’ll take that all day every day!
@@hotshotstuff8080 These company drivers have NO idea how to use their brain
just brilliant. I'd love to see the bed platform setup as well
Great video , I’m driving a 2019 Ram 2500 with a gooseneck, I’m trying to build a bed but I’m 6’7” tall , can you help me build my bed by giving me the dimension or can you make a video ?
Wow 6’7 is tall! To be honest I’m not sure my setup will work for you unless you have a mega cab. I have seen some of the taller people take out the front passenger’s and rear seat, and build a bunk from glovebox to rear of cab. I would suggest measuring the distance before you build it to see if you can stretch out in that space. I will be home this weekend for a few days and will try to do another video on my sleeper, hopefully you can at least get some ideas!
Rout the exhaust to your oil pan. No need for a plug in heater.
That might work lol!
Thanks for the education. Gave me some ideas for my truck!
Check out zero breeze much smaller unit
I researched that thing and it’s too expensive! Especially for what it is, it doesn’t even have a thermostat on it to keep the temperature constant and it won’t cool a cab down.
I dont think somepeople realize that your never supposed to cover the vents on a single hose AC and a single hose AC creates a vacuum inside the room or a car its not a good option.
I have been using it for years, what are the issues?
@@hotshotstuff8080 It creates a Vacuum inside any closed space it is placed in. Because it uses the air inside to cool off its condenser and most importantly it contains equipment that gets hot and can get dangerous if it overheats.
Don't those AC sweet water,? just wondering because I have a similar one in My room and I had to connect a tube to a empty water jug
My unit does have a small reservoir with a drain however it has never needed drained.
Nice....sweet dreams...
U have a window at the back so just get a window air conditioner, 4000-5000btu should be more than enough, & have two 100ah Lifepo4 battery and 1000w pure sine inverter should be enough, it would be cheaper than running on gas generator as these carb engines are not the most efficient even with inverter ones they consume a lot of unnecessary fuel when running under 50% load. Also get an extra alternator in the truck with a temparature controlled voltage regulator cus Lifepo4 have lower internal resistance than leadacid and will cook the alternator at idle by pulling too much current, 2x100ah Lifepo4 should get u going easily for 4-8hrs on a 5000btu ac. And the batteries will charge when u drive around or charge it at where u rest..u can get those inverters that have builtin chargers i recommend meanwell , i have similar setup and meanwell inverter for more than 10yrs the only maintenance i do is cleaning them every month as they are exposed to outside air and run 24x7 almost so they accumulate a lot of dust and too much dust can cause issues with overheating or they can absorb moisture and become conductive.
Have you looked at a Chinese espar for the winter?
Looks like it takes too long to set up and take down no thanks
So the air conditioner stays in the pickup after it is installed, only need to start generator and plug it in daily. Takes 3 minutes to setup the entire sleeper daily.
That’s pretty great man. Not only is this gonna save me a bunch of fuel in my c15 cat it’ll plug right into my existing 3000watt inverter if my cab ac goes down. I love redundancy
Glad to hear that! Thanks and good luck!
