Ha this is exactly why I did this to my truck also me and the family love camping but usually only get about a 2 day stay at a site so dragging the camper out prepping it set up and take down of all the blocking for 2 days was getting excessive so this year I am going to transform my truck into a 3 day stay camper lol. Thanks for sharing with us btw!
Looks like a good time. I'm saving up for a 2000 or so Dodge Dakota this summer I can put a shell on the back and go travel, fish and camp in with my dog. I live in Oregon but I would love to see a lot of other states. Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California, Washington, Alaska and even Canada. LOTS of traveling lol.
Super helpful plug on the mattress! I cut an old free mattress to fit my Colorado for a month long cross country camping trip. I love how you did the ledges on the sides too!
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Kristopher Charles I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Nice setup, thanks. I've dome something similar with my F150 and ARE shell. I like the windoors on mine to get access from the sides. I'm using plastic tubs underneath but your drawers look a lot better.
A sleep bed waste lot of space unless for convinence of one night short time stay . If you need long stay for more days in future, you should make it two modes, one is transportation mode ,a compack mode, another is living mode. That means when you in long stay , you push most container out from truck to get more living space. A transportation mode transform into living mode by a slider. And you can get a long bed by design . A back door tent or cover can extend living space.
That is pretty much the same set up I have. Where did you get the mattress? That is the only thing I was missing. I was in the same area as you. Try out Blue Lakes south of Breck.
Great video. I'm thinking of getting a camper shell for my RAM with the 5'7" bed rather than a tonneau cover but I've been hesitant because I'm six feet tall and the bed is not. How tall are you and is it fairly comfortable to sleep diagonally in there?
Thanks! I’m 6’2 and also had the 5’7 bed. Sleeping solo was comfortable diagonally but ended up changing setups since we travel together. Sleeping two was rather crammed. Hope this helps!

Definitely recommend the setup! We found an older pop up camper but otherwise would still be camping under the truck shell

They’ve worked out great so far! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Good video . Nice , simple build.
A.R.E. Nice topper !
Awesome fixing to get a camper an enjoy life
You say short bed. Does that mean the really short one or the 6’4” truck bed?

@Kristopher Charles it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
@Deshawn Ahmir glad I could help :)
Have you seen the Camper Top Tent by DAC, Inc. It’s reasonably priced and adds extra length to the truck bed while providing ventilation and privacy.
Yes, I have been debating on one of those
Looks great
Thanks Kevin! It was a great setup

Have you looked at our Camper Top Tent by DAC, Inc for the back of your truck? It adds length your truck bed plus ventilation and privacy.
What's the length of your truck bed?
I was thinking the same thing...i have a short bed too and im 5'10" so how do u sleep in there if u are tall?
@@CarlasCorner62 l;m 5'2 so l'm good. when l was car camping in my little Nissin Micra it's the letter S or the side \ lol but it works
Nice and basic, it is always nice if you can sit up straight at least.
What size bed everyone is asking lol?

Simple is best! Allot like my set up!
Good to see you're back. And congrats on graduating college!
정말 멋진 트럭캠핑이네요⭐️
Where did you purchase your mattress from?
That is pretty much the same set up I have. Where did you get the mattress? That is the only thing I was missing. I was in the same area as you. Try out Blue Lakes south of Breck.
BTW, I'm going back out mid September and always looking for good areas to camp/fish.

my question is how do u stay cool in there?
Plug in fan probably
Short bed is just 5.7"
I have a canyon with a short bed... im almost 6ft tall... is this possible in a short bed?
I’m 6’2 and would have been comfortable enough solo, but with tho it made sleeping rather difficult
The 16 people who disliked this must have miserable lives....
Agreed they probably live in their parents basement and watch TH-cam all day whilst consuming 30 McDonald’s cheeseburgers and 20 bars of chocolate
@@dirtbiker1745 😂😂😂still wearing masks
How tall are you?
6’2
Is this a 5.5 truck bed.
Yes, 5’7 short bed
How does this do in colder/warmer temperatures?
Buddy heater works great 👍
We used a buddy heater for a quick heat blast but definitely had some moisture issues with it
Nive var
Thanks for watching!
Title says Short Bed. How tall are you?
6’2, I have to sleep at an angle in the bed but it works
Living Large Camping thank you. I’m 6’3 but I think I’m gonna try it. Much cheaper that roof top tents. Thanks again.
@@LivingLargeCamping nice! Im 5'11 , picking up a canopy for my shortbed in an hour! Stoked
My Tacoma short bed is 5'. I'd have to hang my legs over the tailgate!
Just need to paint the 2×4s
Why

Too heavy
