Awesome thx.

How would you ship the mattress it back, if You don't like it ?
It folds down so you can fit larger items up there that you couldn't fit in the small holes
That was my uncle’s camper. He’s very meticulous with his things and keeps everything in good shape. Glad to see it’s going to a good home. Enjoy and safe travels!
I was gonna say it looked like it came from a good conscientious owner. Lucky find!
You did a very nice thing and got a bigger camper. Thank God it'll more luxurious camper. So that's gonna make camping a lot more enjoyable.
You are a liar that was my cousins camper. He doesn’t have any nephews he was an only child. You just made all that up for likes. You are weird.
Dude I knew you would bounce back! But a diesel and a Northern lite?? Hell yeah my dude!!!
Yew! 🤙
@@JonathanYentch buy a Toyota hybrid truck or a Ford fully electric truck!!
8:04 I just visited Oregon and we had our CRM friend take us on that road to meet some decedents of that land. They would fish that river for Salmon, which would not only feed their people but they also made money. Until the government decided to build a hydro dam that completely ruined the natural fishing habitat. One descendent had a story where his entire family grew up fishing on that lake and as he grew from a very young age he was so excited to start fishing. When he became of age, the dam was built and he was not longer able to fish there. There is so much that is going on that we would never know unless these stories were told.
P.S. The decedents told the story 1000x better.
I was about to say, your lady would really appreciate that bathroom.
Love this camper! Congratulations! Tessa is so right about the bathroom, can't wait to see her enjoying the new camper!
Ms rod
That folding down cabinet is a kids bunk. Love the truck and camper!
Congratulations on the new rig. Love the interior. Looks like it is going to meet your needs a lot better. Thanks for showing us your new rig. Can't wait to see Tessa in upcoming videos.
Almost every time I come back to this channel there's a different camper. This one is definitely beautiful and it sounds like its going to fit your needs. Congratulations.
As an owner of a 2004 Diesel fired truck, you will soon learn about Maintenance. One thing I can say is when you jump into stuff you go head first. I will be watching just to see how you do with this new rig. I just hop you don't do what you did to the last camper. Happy Camping!!
I have to agree!!! He was in over his head with a Toyota and small Bigfoot camper. These 7.3’s will go a long time with the proper maintenance. Without it, I can see this project getting canabalized and scrapped!
1 ton 7.3 you can't go wrong. Mine is a 97 crew cab 7.3 💪 💪 💪
Hopefully you're 6.0 will cooperate 🤞🏽🙏🏽😉👋🏽🙂💯💯
@budman1964 well you bought a 6.slow so what did you expect. Simple Google search will tell you run away from those
This is a GREAT set up!! Love the interior! Also the fold down cabinets are an extra bed for a kid or smaller adult prbly a 150lb weight rating! I’m so happy for you this is gonna be an awesome adventure rig!!!
I would say that is for storage. I was thinking perfect spot for a firearm or fishing gear while traveling.
That extra bed originally came with a pad that was around 2 inches thick. It was split in 2 and either folded or was 2 pieces. Plus there was probably a thin piece of plywood to go over the cabinet door while in bed mode. I've seen them in trailers too.
Maybe the cat.
My boyfriend used to sleep up there as a kid in his family camper
Great choice. 🎉 I bought ny Dodge DRW Turbo Deisel before my camper.
I figured on a Lance or Arctic Fox, used. Start with a good quality new and still be attractive in used sales.
Never looked back. That DRW never came close to payload.
Flat towed my Jeep too
Due to age and ortho issues, have a Class C
The Blue Best is my daily driver now
Sold camper to a young family. They are having a blast with it.
Feel safe in it even driving in Vegas.
Stat: every third driver impaired or driving carelessly. Per sad statistics.
This guy is so dedicated, he's had so many different vehicles and setups since he first moved out of his apartment.
A very solid upgrade! I had an 01 F250 with the 7.3 and those things are bulletproof. Million miles+ easy when well taken care. New camper is a big step up too!
Yeah I wish it had continued for several more years. The 6.0 that replaced it is a terrible motor. I would like to get a 7.3 Excursion but the price tag even with them being 20+ years old is crazy. That's if you can even find one being sold.
For sure 7.3 best 👍🏽👌🏽🙂💯💯💯
It's awesome! Looking forward to seeing Tessa out with you and your cat of course! Can't wait to see the up coming Adventures for you all.
YES!!! This is what this channel needed. Congratulations on this amazing set up.
Awesome dude. Glad you found a complete rig that is solid and meets your needs. So looking forward to your adventures. ❤❤❤
this whole rig seems like it fits you and your lifestyle so much better, love to see your truck camper journey!
This is a really nice camper. Well, I can tell you, there may come a time when you love that bathroom. I will share a little story about a time i went with my parents (I was about 15 at the time) on a two week camping trip to Canada (we would go 4-5 times a year for about 15 years.) Anyway, we camped at a lake about 60 miles from thunder bay, Ontario. Basically, out in the middle of no where in an 8ft camper. And I got sick with the stomach flu. Needless to say, I LOVED that bathroom. I learned something about myself, anytime i go camping I bring practically my own personal pharmacy and I won't go camping unless The motorhome/motorcoach has a bathroom. lol Don't knock the bathroom. :D Enjoy your nice camper!!
WOW, 😮 it is GORGEOUS, looks IMMACULATE, and I must admit, I think with all that you've been through, NO ONE DESERVES it MORE than YOU do. I ABSOLUTELY love it. I agree with Tessa, and I'm glad she's going to be more a part of it.
It really looks GOOD and you shouldn't have to do much of anything to renovate, just minor touches to personalize it. I love the color scheme, love the size/SPACE, it's extremely cozy.
You have just about everything anybody could possibly want in a shell or an RV, and in my opinion, you could live out of it if you had two, obviously the past owner did.
CONGRATULATIONS, ❤ the truck. ❤ the camper and adore you ❤😂🎉
Yay Jonathan!! I'm so excited for you! The cabinets above the dinette are a fold down bunk bed for a SMALL child. Watch the weight on that. As for the east/west bed well it's great for single people but when your spouse/GF comes with you then a north/south is more convenient as to not be climbing over each other. Tessa is going to LOVE having a bathroom and you may like it too, eventually. Don't feel discouraged if you need to do repairs on the truck. It is older you know? LoL!! Also you seemed quick to start the truck but I'm going to assume you are aware of letting the glow plugs warm up first. I always wait for the beeping to quit before starting my F450 even if the plugs are warm and the light on the dash doesn't come on because I don't want to get in the habit of rushing it. It's funny you mention the color scheme because those colors are coming back around again LoL!! Anyway, like I said I'm very happy for you and can't wait for your kitchen cooking show in the new TC! Cheers! ~M
Ps... Please keep your videos at least 50% or more about the TC whether it be driving it, cooking in it, chatting in it, showing the camp spot for the night/weekend, sleeping in it... you get my drift. 😃
Oh and I forgot to mention.. Get that combo to the scales. You'll be very surprised how heavy it really is.
Top drawer choice.... F350 is a great choice.... it has the power to get you where you want to go.... I know nothing about the coach but Im sure it will suit your needs well.... I really love the sleeping berth..... Im sure it will work well for your enterprise.... Please consider keeping your camper in a covered storage or an indoor store....Your rig will last 5 times longer.... >>>> Put Temp Gauges for the transmission.... it will save you from the possibility of transmission overheat
Great News man!!! Happy for you and me to live vicariously through your adventures!!!
Solid truck, GREAT engine, nice camper. All great choices. Looking forward to your continuing journey, and proud to be a Patreon.
Appreciate the support!! 🙌
I am so happy for you!!! I am glad you were able to find a build that works for you. Good luck!!
Great to see your “bounce back” Buddy. You’re genuine humility and gratitude in the way you share your adventures is very refreshing. Congrats on your new rig.
I'm happy for you...im excited to see all the new adventures you and Tessa are going to go on! Have fun!
I’m so glad you got yourself a new camper & truck. It’s good to see you back out on the road!!!
That bathroom... that's so nice for hanging up wet items from rain and snow. Also great for rinsing out items that get dirty/wet using it as a clothes drying room.
As a 2002 7.3 and NorthernLite owner- Congratulations!!
Also have the torklift fast gun tiedowns…get some locks to replace the Clevis pins…they are expensive to replace when they walk off
Also- check your cab roof to cab over clearance…looks tight. I added two layers of 3/4” pressure treated plywood to the truck bed and a thin rubber bed mat. NorthernLite specifically says not to use horse stall mats.
Check out the torklift stable-loads…made a world of difference to eliminate side to side sway without modifying suspension or adding airbags.
I am so stoked for you! I’m glad you’ve got your joy in the journey back! 👍👍
Fantastic looking camper bro!! Definitely looks well cared for. I’ll be looking forward to see your adventures in this new rig. Congrats man!! 🎉🎉
Congratulations Jonathan! I absolutely love the interior and layout. What a great upgrade. And having a bathroom is another added bonus. So happy for you! You definitely deserve this. Happy Trails. 😊
Congratulations Jonathan! I am happy for you! I hope you have many amazing adventures with your new camper! The cabinet folds down to make a bunk for a child to sleep but also works for extra storage. Safe travels!
Love your new camping rig Jonathan! I go on camping adventures vicariously through your videos and I especially enjoy being inside your cozy warm and dry camper while it’s freezing cold and snowing or raining outside, cheers!
Happy that you have a new camping rig. Hope you have years of happy, safe fun with it.
How great! I'm really happy and excited for you and Tessa and your future pets! I really liked the camper. It looks wonderful and i look forward to your new adventures. Well Done!
CONGRATULATIONS!! It's so awesome. You deserve this. 👍👍
Nice rig! I'm glad things are working out with the new set up. Stove, frig, and bathroom are a bonus. Looking forward to future videos.
Wow! Really stoked to see the adventures you will go on with this setup
I'm so happy for you, Congratulations on finding just the perfect camper/truck setup. I really like the interior colors and touches as well. So glad that you're not facing another remodel instead of having the outdoor adventures that you love. Looking forward to seeing Tessa again. Take care and God bless.
Awesome!!! I'm so happy for you. Let the adventures begin!
Wow, what a gorgeous new-to-you rig! Looking forward to the adventures you'll be able to undertake with your new set-up.
Dude! Nice find and definitely a good choice on going with the the extra space and bathroom! It's nice finding people that take pride in what they own and when they sell it you get to see the care that they had while owning it. 😊
This is a really sweet camper! Congratulations. I think the greatest aspect of it is that it can serve many purposes. Quick weekend trips, long trips, multi weather trips, all in comfort with conveniences. It can serve as a home when needed. You did good!!!!
LOVE IT!!! Congratulations Jonathan very happy for you!!!
As much as I was enjoying your build project and I will miss that, I am extremely happy for you. Get out there, enjoy life and your new home. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Alright congratulations I love your new home!! I've been wondering what your plans would be. So nice to see your back can't wait to see what's next for your new setup!! Look forward to more travels.
So so happy for you Jonathan. The camper looks so much nicer! The Bigfoot was just practice. That cabinet is probably for golf clubs. I’m glad for you. Safe travels❤
The fold down is a child's bunk.
Unless it was removed, there should be a plywood plank that slides forward over the doors to make a platform, and then there is usually cushions stored in there.
Depending on the rig, they have a weight limit of 125-150 pounds (hence them only being for kids) but it's means to be a stowaway bunk for kids.
Excited to follow your new adventure. We also have a 2000 F350 7.3L diesel LB but with the crew cab style body. I bought it new back in 2000 and I thought I would replace it eventually but the truck has been a beast and the engine has been so reliable, it hard to give it up. We also have a Northern Lite truck camper but the 10.2 size and the year that we bought it was 2002 (new). Definite 4 season camper and zero problems with it, even after so many years. We even have the Torklift tie down system but with regular chain connections. Enjoy your new adventure just remember to check the height of your setup for those trips on side roads.
Congratulations on the new rigs and your setup. Looks great, looks like the camper was well taken care of and will last you many years. Can't wait till you get back out there and allow us to ride shotgun.
Congratulations Jonathan, i told you before you don’t have to explain anything to anyone but yourself, as long as your happy and it sounds like Tessa is also. Look forward to you new adventures.
Thanks for sharing your excitement and new rig.
We’ll look forward to seeing you take us camping with you !!
I am looking forward to watching your adventures with the new set-up. I'm so happy that you can enjoy the outdoors again. I could tell that the renovations on the other camper was taking a toll on you,and listening to the constant barking. I'm unable to take a vacation due to many difficult circumstances, so watching your videos is like taking a mini vacation. Have fun!
❤ I’m excited to see your new adventures! Have a great week.
So happy for you. Keep on trucking!
I like the green plaid, wood accent, and green Formica table. The colors give it a vintage charm that’s cozy and neat.
Looking forward to coming along on your future adventures in the new rig. Best wishes for happy camping.
I can’t wait to see looooong trips in this! You bit the bullet here and I think it’ll pay off Johnny! Congrats!
Congratulations! Love that 90’s decor. The luxury of a interior washroom!
Yesss!!! So happy and excited for you!!! Here is to long trips and comfort 🥂
We’ll done! I took out the fridge on my camper after seeing your slide out build and replaced w (2) 12v freezers w sliders on top of each
I'm happy for you! You seem happier, more confident, and more inspired. Go out on some adventures soon!
That is a nice camper to be 24 years old. It was well maintained by previous owners. Great to see you will be back on the road doing what you enjoy.
I LOVE the plaid couches, it makes it very warm, homey, and peaceful.
Good job Jonathan! I was hoping that you would go this direction. I think this is a great decision. Look forward to seeing all the places and adventures that this new rig will take you!
So happy for you and I’m looking forward to more adventures
Johnathan, so happy to see you got a new camper, now hopefully we can watch you and Tessa enjoy more adventure together, buddy the only tools I wanna see in your hands are cooking tools..please no renovations for a very long time....✌️peace
So glad you found something that you are happy with and I am glad you are going to use it as is for now. You need to relax and enjoy it for awhile before starting any projects. It looks very comfy. Many years ago (like the 1970s, ) my late husband and I had a similar rig and we loved it. We both had heavy duty jobs and this was our way to unwind on the weekends. Hope you enjoy yours as much. Looking forward to seeing what your first adventure will be. 😊
So glad you're keeping the plaid!! It's a beautiful rig. Hope you get all the use out of it that you hoped for!
Congratulations on your new truck and camper, they are both very nice. 😊
This rig is perfect dude! Now just be happy with it!! I started eye-rolling at all the upgrades you already want to do. This is like the 4th truck and 3rd camper you’ve bought since I’ve subscribed 😂 They were all decent rigs too. This seemingly materialistic fixation you have on a rig defeats the whole purpose of camping, being outdoors, and as you put it, “beating the status quo.” Just try being happy with what you got, it’s the best one yet, and it doesn’t NEED any upgrading.
P.S - I think that whole panel folded down in case what your storing doesn’t fit through the smaller cabinet doors. 🤙🏼
Very cool Jonathan! I am so happy to hear Tessa will be joining you on your latest adventures. I am so glad you were able to upgrade! Good luck with your new rig!!
Congratulations on the new rig & setup, that’s actually something we are looking at. Two adults & 2 pups. Keep on Trucking ✌🏼
Way to go, Jonathan. Looking forward to the camping and cooking videos.
Beautiful set up. Know prepare for a winter Alaska trip...
Wonderful choice! I appreciate your showing us a sneak peek at the rig and all the great adventures to come with increasing frequency and excitement as you let us into your life's excursions!
🎉🎉 Congratulations I'm so happy for you ♥️ love the plaid 🎉🎉
Congratulations! I’m glad you went this way because you spent way tooooo much time and money on the last one!🥰
First and foremost congrats on the new setup. It’s nice you have more space and amenities especially when traveling as a couple. I’ve been watching you for a couple years and I’m a little sad to see you move away from the minimalist chill vibes your earlier videos captured and see you go down the path of generic outdoor TH-camr, but I’ve heard this platform is tough, and you’ve mentioned your struggles with viewership. I hope that the channel keeps growing and you don’t feel weighed down by all the stuff. Excited to see your next adventures. ✌️
Yes... he has a right to earn money and do things his way.
Congratulations! It’s just great! I’m happy for you!
Good pick for a full time live in rig , love ya and you never give up , you're the man...
Congrats! I can’t wait for more adventures! I hope this setup lasts you a very long time!
That camper and truck combo is slick. Ready to see you doing some camping 🏕️ and trout fishing 🎣. PLEASE 🙏 NO MORE REBUILDS 😂😂😂😂
Congratulations Johnathon! I think it is perfect for you as it made you smile! Be well and enjoy
Congratulations! Awesome new rig. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Nice looking set up Jonathan! Looking forward to the new series :)
Your new adventures are always great to watch!!👍🍁🍁
Congratulations Jonathan, I am really happy that you have that beautiful rig! You really deserve something good especially after your past bad experience. So go out there & live life/beat the status quo. Have a beautiful day!! Illinois, USA
So rad to see another evolution of your rig! Really appreciated hearing your perspectives on evaluating smaller trucks/campers vs. what you landed on with the Northern Lite. Can't wait to see more adventures! I"m picturing skis and snowboards drying in the bathroom!
Back in the game baby!!!! Will be fun to see Tessa along too! Love it -congrats!!🍾
I was bummed to see the Bigfoot go, but this is epic! Love the choices. 7.3 is awesome and so many upgrade options. Basically anything in a 2008-2016 super duty will bolt right on and has a wiring harness to make it compatible, mirrors seats etc. Super excited for you.
GAME CHANGER. Congrats on the new setup, looks like a TON of fun. Can't wait to see the new adventures. Thanks for sharing
I like it a lot! The whole setup looks much better. Now you can get back to the fun adventures! Happy for you and all of us.
Very cool rig. I'm very happy you're back in the camper game. It was also great to hear you and Tessa are still a thing. We haven't seen her in a year or so and I've been afraid to ask, in case things had hit the skids. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to your new adventures!! Now get back to fly fishing :D
So happy for you Jonathan!! The new truck and new rig are great and looking forward to seeing your new adventures ahead with the possibility of a dog, your kitty, and Tess who is totally cool am totally looking forward to this! Good move getting something that she will enjoy as well! I always take my family into consideration when I upgrade my rig. Have fun out there and it doesn’t matter what other people think, do what you’re doing for you not for us!
Looking good! Nice it doesn't need much for upgrades. Now you can enjoy camping and traveling and relax.
Now THATS what I’m talkin about! Congratulations I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to see your adventures!🎉
Northern Lite is probably the best camper out there, great choice!
I'm so happy for you!!! That camper looks as though it'll be perfect for you (and your girlfriend)Can't wait to see your adventures!!
Good to see you back on the road again looking forward to what you have in-store for us in your next video
