    They make a pass over solenoid that is easy to install it will charge your battery in the back while driving and when you shut the truck off it separates the truck from the back battery. Solenoid runs about $40.00 bucks and works great.

      That’s essentially what I have now, the solar only charges the power bank and the AC is switched live so shuts off when the truck stops running.

    This is probably my favorite setup of the dozens of videos I've seen so far. Don't usually comment, but wanted to say well done! I love how easily this can be converted from camper to daily driver as most others are much more complicated. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Nice, I tore out my back seat and turned it into a kitchen. If its raining, I can cook through the window of topper, or in the front seat. I've had to battle alot of rain storms in the past. I have a matress that flips up in the back for more room. I haul 2 Mt. Bikes with me and one is an ebike, having it inside is a must.

      @Adam Swords I hear ya, but I usually cook off tailgate unless it's raining. Just bought a rear awning, so maybe I won't have to cook inside.

    I must admit, when you first bought the truck and said you were getting rid of the camper van, I was a bit gutted. But after seeing how you have converted the truck, I'm really impressed, and I can see why you did it. I love that it really doesn't have anything that's not necessary, and everything pulls out ready to use so easily and slides away just as easily once you are done with it. I really like it. I want it. 😂

    This is the best setup ive seen and ive been watching videos trying to design something for the same purpose. The comfort of knowing im prepared. I love it. Awesome work. Only thing ill do different is mounting my topper on an electric powered track system built into the bedrails of truck box so that i can raise my topper about 16 inches straight up providing more room between the bed and ceiling because nobody likes to be limited to strictly sideways action.

    • @AdamSwords

    Very nice design and build Adam! You were VERY fortunate to have someone with Chris’s talent, expertise and experience to make your ideas become a reality. Among carpenters there are relatively few who are are master craftsmen that can turn an idea into a reality without detailed plans, starting from scratch with a hand drawn sketch or an image of what you have in mind. You have a lot of very good ideas and concept of what you were after but my hat is also off to Chris. The workmanship in your build is not possible without a lot of experience and the necessary tools accumulated over time.

    Ha! "DOWN to 70°" and still toastie. That's all perspective I guess. At 70, that's like an oven on High for me. I'm actually pondering how to have A/C for the times it's up to 70. More so, I'll have a Buddy Heater for when its below about 40°. I'll definitely be sleeping in my truck bed when it's down to 20 for sure. Maybe 10.
    Actually if it's much above 70° without A/C, I'll either sleep in the cab with the engine running and A/C or might opt for a hotel at that point.
    Thanks for sharing your box layout. That's a really nice kitchen setup.

    Love the setup. My Suburban is set up,similarly. Same idea. I can literally leave for a couple of weeks and as long as I have fuel and can find water, I’m good to go. Still wanting to put a couple of panels, a power station, and a fridge . I avoid canned food. With the extreme conditions in a vehicle, you have a better chance of the seals going bad, so lots of Mountain House. There’s fishing gear, as well as ammo and a spare mag for every gun I have…so WEEKS, as long as I have fuel and water. I even keep two 20oz flasks of bourbon wrapped up in a few blankets and set upright in a corner. Hey…survival does not have to be hard.

    Great setup and good job to the builder . I have a tool drawer system that I built for my van, I used 3/4 plywood finish grade for all of it, the top slides in and out with routered edges to accept plywood to slide in and out, the drawers are 19 inches high and 2 feet wide by 6 foot deep, I have 2 drawers that slide in and out, the top slide holds the drawers from tipping out, all I used was furniture paste wax , the drawers are fit tight , inside the drawers I have wooden trays that slide on the top of drawers, they each weight 4 or 500 hundred pounds and I can easily pull them in and out, so don't be afraid to anyone that wants to build a drawer system that is wood on wood, with paste wax, my van has side doors that open up so if I need to get at the back of the drawers I open the back doors slide the top out and get what I need out of the side doors, for the front drawers I cut I hand hold out to stick my hand in to see slide drawers in and out, I love it and I would build it bigger and not be afraid, over time the wood slides better and better. I used glue and kreg pocket jig and screws to assemble box and drawers.

    Real nice setup man! I have to say that being a pepper has nothing to do with being angry or paranoid. It's nothing more than what you're doing... being prepared for whatever may come your way. Also, I would add freeze dried meals to your pantry to add a few more days, just in case. Also, water purification would be a must have. The other must have would be a firearm of some type. Shotgun, pistol or rifle.

    I want to second "callecoxxx"s comment. You can tell the effort and trial-n-error that went into creating the most efficient setup with the smallest possible footprint and keeping it modular. You said it perfectly..."I love the fact that I've been able to do something so impressive while being so unintrusive". It takes more time to figure out what you 'DONT' need, than what you 'DO' need.

    Excellent storage layout and excellent workmanship. You've given me some great ideas.
    There seems to be a consensus in videos I have watched that 4" mattress foam is quite comfortable. As well, I think I will opt for a high rise truck cap, or a lower storage drawer profile. My wife is quite claustrophobic so I need as much headroom as possible for sleeping. As well, when we hit the road I think I will remove the two rear passenger seats to maximize storage space in the cab.

    • @AdamSwords
      @AdamSwords  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’d do your testing at home with the mattress. Some of the prison mattresses these guys sleep on are beyond me. I slept on the 6” memory foam tri-fold bamboo mattress before I added the topper and I found that my hips, elbows, shoulders - anywhere with the most pressure would start to ache during the night. Once I added the topper - it’s in the top 3 comfiest mattresses I’ve ever had.
      You wouldn’t want to go any slimmer for the drawer height either, so I recommend getting the extra height topper.

      @@AdamSwords Thanks for the feedback. I have a Toyota Tacoma, so have even less space to play with. I have camped my entire life (now in my late 60s) and most of that time I was sleeping on a 1 1/2" inflatable mattress so my thought process is that
      a) every inch counts,
      b) my wife is claustrophobic,
      c) from a camping point of view, 4" of foam sounds luxurious to me, and
      d) everything is a compromise.
      As well, I have a sailboat, and the berths are all 3" foam and it is almost enough for sleeping comfort,, but I do feel a few pressure points.
      However, to your point, I will test the mattress first. In the end, the body will have the last say. 😊

    I love that truck! Everything is simply clever, great used space and a beautiful shell around. I probably would go for a little more headspace and think of an opportunity to go to the toilet or shower to really make sure camping in the wilderness for a couple of days is possible without feeling uncomfortable.

    I think that if you close it completely and sleep in it, you can breathe all the oxygen if you do not get up for something. Also in the summer you can get a lot of bugs inside because there is nothing to stop them getting in and even if you open a little bit of a window the mosquitoes will be happy about it. You can get a portable black shower bag. You didn't show if you have a table and somewhere to sit and something to keep you shade.

    It’s such a sweet build. If I were you, I’d look at an aftermarket fuel tank. Several companies make extended capacity tanks that fit in place of the OEM tank and significantly increase capacity (I’ve seen up to about 75gal). It’s nice to be able to survive 5 days, but you need to be able to get somewhere safe AND make it back.

    I'm not sure if you already are a firearms owner Adam but a nice edition for prepping/off the grid/SHTF would be a ruger 10/22 take down. Not only for defensive purposes but to harvest small game as well. From what I understand the 10/22 is legal in CA

    Dammit dammit dammit. I've been doing my homework on these builds and I started watching this video. I almost turned it off thinking "good god not another dumb full drawer pull out truck camper build." The one's Ive seen so far were either poorly built, looked plain and cheap, or simply useless.
    Adam, you and your builder completely nailed this. You actually put a lot of thought into this and designed a lot of functionality to the build. And as someone with OCD as well, I really appreciate all of this. I'm going to build a 30" single bunk and a 10-12" side cabinet, but I may have to do something like what you did with the full drawer pull out.
    Congrats on a fantastic build. I especially love the slide out partitions that actually stack together in the back of the drawer. Mastery of an idea. And the cutlery and utenisl kits are a must have!
