Mav exciting! I luv giveaways
Where are you interning ? Are you in med school ?
Cut some holes in top of the night stand big enough to hold soda cans .
why didnt you add the links to the items
Mav you need to drive down to The Alabama gulf coast to do some big bull red fishing bro.
Look at how far you've gotten! You should come back and watch this, all the places you've been and you've inspired me to go out more! Lot's of love from NH!
Ditch the cot an put a piece 3/4IN Plywood on the bed rails then just put a piece of foam down for padding then you have plenty of storage under and a place to sleep up top
We chugged our beer every time you touched your hair
HeHeHe.....I'm drunk now
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh no shit lmao
Imma play this game next time I'm drinking lmao

Always bring a fully charged jump box and a tire air compressor that can run of the lighter plug in the truck if you are parking somewhere remote. Flat tire or dead battery are very common thing to wake up to in cold weather.
How to spend $100 on two things and add another $300 in everything else equipment from your house.
Josh Vines That would be $107.94
You are a decent human being for placing the cart in the cart corral.
I lived comfortably in a van for 3 1/2 months this past summer/ fall. What an experience, You're going to love it Mav!
I love a basic truck cap camper build. I started into RVing the same way and may end-up back under a truck cap as its by far the stealthiest way to urban camp and the most versatile for backwoods boodocking. Insulated blackout curtains and a carpet on the truck bed will both insulate, deaden the outside sound and give you privacy. These improvements will add immensely to the "livability" of your truck cap camping. Camp on!!
Where do you get those insulated black out curtains?
How it all began...nice.
Wow, I lost count on the journeys I went on with you Mav and happen to stumble across this beginning. Amazing, living the dream for sure, truly inspiring!
Integrating what you already have is a key part to making it affordable. Love to see your roots and the beginnings of “Mav” 🕉
I saw one guy stick bubble wrap on his windows....people cant see in but the bubble wrap lets light in. Just cut some strips of bubble wrap to cover all your windows and when not in use, tuck it up under your cargo net.
Those propane heaters release a lot of water vapor when they operate, also curtains or other window coverings help with insulation.
Love going back and seeing where it all started!! I just upgraded my setup at the end of 2023!! I do not miss the $750 setup ( toper included in that price!) but it got me out all over the country so i wont complain about it!
$100 at Cabela's? What's that, 3 candy bars?

Just wanted to say how nice it is to see someone so cheery and full of life :) Your smile is contagious in a good way!
Liked your video. My pickup is similar. I have a camper shell with a bit more raised roof and the same type of carpet for the camper shell and the bottom of the truck bed. My pickup is a Chevy Silverado and I found I had two places for a battery (for the truck battery and one other), so I added a deep cell battery in the empty place under the hood, and had it wired up so that it recharges the deep cell battery when driving on the road, but is separate from the truck battery so that the truck battery doesn't become depleted. In the back I had had DC cables extended from the front deep cell battery to the camper shell area and I have an inverter there. I have a inside portable A/C that I have vented to the sliding window between the camper shell and the cab of the truck and a generator that I can place on a platform in the back (from the back hitch) to power it. Exhaust hot air is vented in the space between the camper shell and the cab of the truck. This has worked out by having the back of the camper nice and cool. I live in Florida so keeping cool is more important than keep warm (except it get's cold around New Years). I know, it isn't much. I came from Michigan so I do know cold and snow. Just some ideas. If you're interested in the dual battery setup, I should have the link I used to set everything up.
And this is where the adventure began!
Just plugged in to watch your throw back vid. It’s astonishing of far you have come Mav!! You’re videos inspired me brotha🤙
Keep on truckin$}
those buddy heaters have internal sensors to shut them off , they are designed for indoor use
still, safety is good. things break
Wow shocked seeing it started like this great work where your trucks at now fully equipped
Don't get me wrong, but I really want to "lay into" an old friend of yours right about now, and you're absolutely correct, I have no right. But I finally figured out a few things, I'm not a psychic. Instead of being mean to a moreorless clueless individual, all glitz and glamour, that one... I'll just tell you Mav. If you guys come on here, and you take us on trips, teach us things, show us places we might never get to go, and for those of us who are finding ourselves so very much alone at the late stages of life, your company and your commentaries are like having a real friend. This is a time in our Country of great change, great sorrows, and great new innovations, new hope! It is the most pivotal time in the History of our World! But sometimes we need a freakin' break, eh? I'll watch you catch and cook some large sea insects, and I'll go to Mexico with you and dream of living such a life, and I tell you in all honesty, I have dreamed of your beautiful Minnesota for at least four years now, but I'm a native Texan, and your long cold winters would probably take me out the first season! lol... So I hope you get it, just erase this after you read it. I'm a person who sews too. You know what a seam ripper is. Thanks Mav, for being truly authentic, and kind to your followers. Your clothing line is the total BOMB too. I wish I had it all, and I will gladly share your videos, and your merch anytime. Rock on little Bro, hope your back is ok, and you're staying off the board this season.
Alabama red fish - those southern girls will love you honey!!!
Alabama red fish - those southern girls will love you honey!!! The father is on your side, little buddy, and he's holding a beer.
Use a 5 gallon bucket cut out sides for air flow and but a used heater core in it. Connect hoses to truck heater
I’ve been binge watching your videos for like 3 hours now and I think I’m in love now
Be sure you get yourself a good first aid kit!
I think you should take that truck and catch a bass in all 48 States. In the process you can cross paths with AP or SBFISHING.
Honestly that is an amazing idea .... I bet he would double or triple his subs doing that
Got more or less the same camper and bed liner on my Z71 but I like using the reclining seats in the cab for sleeping. Heat and AC work fine and entertainment system and lights are readily available. Only thing I might want is a blanket if it's below freezing to extend the time between firing up the truck for more heat but usually I camp when it's around 50 degrees at night.
Didn’t have nothing watch so went to the bottom of the lists 🤣🤣
Mav you were so happy doing this episode it was contagious. It was a great beginning. You managed your money well.
You need the Styrofoam board you can get big sheets of it at the home depot , you can cut it with a razor knife and put it up over your windows in the camper...will give you privacy and insulation...its called starafoam it's used in building houses.works good I use it in my rv.
Anyone else notice from this and other videos how small of steps Mav takes? Haha, great vid man! Keep up the good work!
lol its funny because I have long strides when im not filming #fearofthecam
15:53- "wow this lights kinda harsh eh?". Damn Minnesotans ARE like Canadians :)
Moisture is a by-product of propane combustion. If you get to the point you can afford it, buy a chinese diesel air heater in a cabinet.
For the record hot air rises. Heat goes to cold. You should get enough venting from 1 of those windows, do a test with your co detector. Enjoy
Edit: a little reflectix over the windows will give privacy and aid in insulating windows.
Put a small fan in there. Move the warm air around.
Thanks Wayne! ill look into getting one. My heater has a small fan in it, but it would be nice to mount one on the roof to push the heat down.
@@mav Get a ceiling fan. LOL
Any small fan should do, as long as it pushes the air around.
Tent fan from Walmart also has a light.
RoadTrippin' You're gonna love it Mav!!
I love videos of people doing nomad things out of their vehicles. Great video Mav and great quality, just subbed! 🤙🏻👍🏻
Wasn’t sure about doing this myself but now that i see you loving every minute of it, you inspired me to just go for it! Been watching all your videos! Hope your channel keeps growing! Great work man!
If you can manage to fit a small fire place and some wood you could heat bigger rocks up and place them in a pan or something and that will keep the area nice and warm.
Get an electric heater so you can keep it on for along time without dying like propane
It’s crazy how much your accent has left from you traveling everywhere
Holy smokes shoulda bought a hat to hold your hair back while you were at it
I was thinking the same thing!! HaHaHa
Well done, Mav! This is exactly the info I was seeking: a budget truck camping build for winter. Very inspiring. Will make my way through your related vids in coming days. My fave items this video were the cot, Big Buddy and carbon monoxide detector. Bright blessings!
I am inspired. I think I am going to try something like this in my 1994 Chevy.
Hey there! First time subscriber and camper/hiker I have a 2002 Ford F-150 and I liked your setup and you gave me some good ideas for my truck! Thank you 😊 and can’t wait till the next video! This is Big Boy Frank from Texas peace out ✌🏼
Frank Simental thanks frank! Glad you got some ideas from the video.
You'll probably want to cover up the windows..Just for privacy and I think it would feel more comfortable
Awesome video, I would however recommend lining your truck bed with carpet.
what about taking a hacksaw to the cots leg, driver side so it rests on the wheel well...
Interesting going back to see your OG setup
mavs my spirt animal.
stop doing peyote in mexico
Is this the first video camping in truck if so this is awesome love the videos Mav !!
I thought $100 was going to be cheapo! Then you priced the cots and I knew you’d underestimated the costs involved when camping out. Bike packing is my thing and it’s a money pit! It really is. Of course you can go cheap and cheerful, but you’ll almost certainly end up cold and uncomfortable and quite possibly failing? Give yourself the best chance, I say. Which simply means buying quality gear and no gimmicks! A good vid again Mav, thank you I have enjoyed it.
This video really shows how its not about the joruney, its about the adventure
I only 3 year younger mav knew how far he would get
God bless your young limbs, because I can't be jumping up in the back of a truck like that, I need a van or mini van
So funny to see the truck so fresh after everything it’s been through now !
Go to steez auto styling in elk river and have him tint your topper, he could do limo tint and nobody would be able to see in and you still will be able to see out! It will also make it darker in there for sleeping!
Very cool quick set up. I was thinking of doing something similar to my Subaru Forester. For those short term over night stays at a fishing spot.
You might want to try a small dehumidifier. That would cut down the condensation.
I did almost the same thing with my truck. Works well in spring and summer when you're towing a boat and sleeping at boat launches. Not so much in the winter because I need to put my gear in the truck. Plus you'll freeze your balls off.
Hi young man you are very entertaining I’m older person I love ❤️ to fish but with this Corona I barely get out got a lot of health problems hope you are not someone that don’t like African Americans I really like your style you ROCK & smart & go getter 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
U need more subs man ur so under appreciated and U make great content
Thanks for the love dude, I appreciate it!
Always thinking of safety MaV, great to see how you started. Stay safe Mav, you’re always busy, i learned a lot from your future videos, and some now. Thank you “ 🙏 “
put a small fan on top of the nightstand should help with condensation and the hot air rising
The origin story of "NOMAD"
Nice Jaws poster, 1975!
add a cooler for more of those sock beers and add carabiner clips to the cargo netting to hang things.
You need to get an adapter to refill those bottles with that 20lb bottle back there
Well butter my buns and call me a buscuit! I live in Blaine!!
Looks pretty cozy in there mister!
Thanks mister!
Peric buys a 100k camper. You spend $100 and have a decent place to crash. Good work buddy!
I was thinking the same thing 😂
LOL! funny
Opolar makes an awesome little fan. Pretty cheap on ebay. Put a rechargeable battery in it plus you buy one of those small pocket sized solar power cells and you can hook it up with the usb cord. The cell I have will run that fan for 3 days straight, 72hrs straight still had 1/2 power left, on low to circulate your heat plus 3' away it is silent. I also have 2 of those LED lanterns that are advertised as tactical quality, on TV they also sell the flashlights they break out of the ice block, and they will last a real good amount of time too and are about the same size as your refreshment. Get some Reflectix, spelling?, from ACE and velcro it to your windows. Will help insulate. To make those a bit more homie feeling use some 3m spray glue to put some fabric on the Reflectix and make them look more like a curtain. You know, cute kittens, butterflies, deer tracks or even Oregon Ducks.
Mav you bring such positivity in your video, i rarely fish but i always enjoy when i do. I have been following you sense you were on apbass. Glad to see you making your own content now. Keep up the good work and keep slaying the big fish
Thanks for the love! Hope that you love the videos to come.
I think you should have bought a twin size memory foam topper, cut in half, placed one on top of the other, rolled with sleeping bag on top and secure with bungees for sleeping. I know Cabellas wouldn’t have that but they are awesome.
Get a haircut! Just kidding. Nice video and good luck with the winter camping.
Nice truck man, my first time watching your videos and I have to say, good job haha
Great video. You can get a couple of DampRid at Walmart to help with the moisture.
Good suggestion now why didn't I think of that ? Cause your smarter then this old fart LOL !!
Ditch the cott, make a fancy sleeping pad/mat. More head room.
Watching from roseville Minnesota! Love the truck camper!
I think a small fan would help with the condensation. I bought a Ryobi one at home Depot. Runs off of their batteries. On low it'll run all night.
You sir inspired me to get a truck, and I finally got one now I gotta save to grab gear for it
What a goober
Watching in White Bear Lake! Keep up the great work, love the videos!
Nice job for now ,you’ll figure it out ,
Get a pop button light and stick it to the top of your nightstand. Those things are great. I have about 5. Use them every time I go camping.
I think i might even have a couple of those laying around!
Mav I’m telling you those are killer. They are super bright and CHEAP!!! If they break who cares.
Cabela’s is where you go to finger bang items and then order them much cheaper from Amazon or elsewhere.
James Ingram they are 30% more on every item
Im gonna watch all of your videos
Can’t wait for some camping vids
Try crab fishing in Pacifica California on the pier.. It's like right below San Francisco.
Lay a layer of insulation in the bed then a sheet of plywood over it will help you stay warmer and your bed will not slide as bad
Should've gone with a $15 twin air mattress from wally world! Lol
They always get punctures sooner or later.
haha. hindsight, but shoulda bought all the propane and a $15 air matress... I/m a musician and know that! love the channel bro
see you at the blues on the Chippewa
Go to Kohl's, or wherever, and get yourself some of that egg carton type memory foam, cut to size, and throw it on your cot. That will help soften it up so you can sleep better. Cots tend to be hard. Another option would be a small air mattress or a Terma-A-Rest pad for on top of the cot.
Yeah, I think a new pad will be a good investment in the long run... going to take a trip with the setup how it is now, i know there will be things I want to change along the way.
If you sleep better you fish better because you feel better. Free advice from an old fart. lol
I've watched a couple of youtube videos about winter camping in a truck topper setup like this and condensation was a major problem. Something for you to consider as you do your build. Point being,, do some research.
Cover the inside of the camper's windows with ground cover cloth/mat used by gardeners to prevent weeds growing... You will be able to see out, but those outside cannot see in...
the night stand is perfect
Man so crazy seeing this. You’re over a million subs now!
Also, get a fire extinguisher away from the back bed
thats probably a must
Just got a camper for my truck, ready to to do something similar to this
The Bon Jovi look 🤛
Canadian tour in the Fx4!
