Thanks so much for tuning in! If you can help me get my channel out of this growing stage by giving it a like! If you or anyone you know wants to fish in the southern part of California, feel free to reach out to my email in the description!
Your wasted space on top of the cab roof might be a place to mount a solar panel. That's what I'd do with it. You mention the rust on your truck. I have an 03 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton similar to your F-150. Last Saturday the tailgate hinges rusted out on it so I no longer have a tailgate on my truck. Point being, do whatever you can now to slow or halt the rust on your truck. I'm no auto body man so I can't tell you. Keep the underside washed is all I can suggest. Keep your tailgate hinges cleaned and lubed. You've got the rig pretty well put together and thought out. Last we saw you, you were muskie fishing Lake of The Woods. Now you're in the Nevada desert. You sure get around. Good for you.
You can spray Wd-40 on light rust or areas you think could rust in the future. There are also shops that will still spray your underbody with used motor oil, this is quite effective although it sounds crude. In general the only kind of rust you really need to worry about is from road salt. If you have to drive in the salt, clean your car afterwards very well. And don't let the salt sit on it for more than a few days. Be sure to clean the undercarriage as best you can, don't just spray the outside.
Well packed but waaaayyy to-many shoes & clothes, heads up, instead of TP rolls use baby wipes for toilet paper, big pack = 100 sheets, moisturized, work great, saves mucho space. Cut dish washing way down by throwing everything away but a camp cooking set that nests, 2- Stainless steel coffee cups with lids, get a pressure cooker & Dutch oven, (Teflon) use paper towels & alcohol spray bottle to wash them, (no water & soap , my most hated chore was/is washing dishes, a big time waster & boring) make sure all cooking vessel are teflon, they clean up very well & very quickly, no water or time wasted. Your 2 pullout drawers are being under utilized by wasting a lot of space, with again, too many clothes, lol, I get 90% of my possession in those 2 drawers, pairing down & organizing will get you lean & more usable space, take the time to think of a place for every item, keep them there （ a place for everything & everything in it place, is a good rule of thumb) make 6 meals that you like & are simple & easy to make , mix them with no cook, no prep fruit & /or vege’s or no need to be fridged ( packaged tuna= no cook, eggs last a week unfridged) , eat raw, fresh every day, cuts down on prep & cooking. Shalom!
I think those interlocking foam gym mats would have been a better option than the turf. I figure they can serve several functions in addition to a surface cover. The foam mats could offer some extra insulation for the cold, extra cushion for comfort, and you can also use them as seating on the ground if your sitting outside. There are probably several more things things the mats could do, but I like the idea of versatility in the items that I carry. Space is limited so make sure your everything in your kit does more than one thing.
My running team actually was in Mojave Desert this past May as we joined a Speed Project which is a relay running from LA to Las Vegas. We slept couple hours in our SUV in Mojave desert. The experience was epic.
An idea for your trash solution is this thing called a "trasharoo." Look it up on amazon. Its basically a giant trash bag that you can wrap around your tailgate and put trash in. Its marketed to be wrapped around spare tires on jeeps and things but I've seen plenty of people put them on their tailgates and i even have one on the hatch of my tahoe. They're very useful for camping and keeping trash out of your vehicle.
For the extra space, rain water collection system. Would be great if you know it is going to rain, make use of all that water. Or, gun rack, get yourself a trusty shotgun or hunting rifle it you can, never know when it will be useful.
Mav. The space on the back you could mount a pelican box. They are water tight and they have a lock and you can add padlocks. Store dry goods and clothes to free up space. I took the back seat out if my Jeep and did that with one that was issued to me in the Army.
You could add a nice 6ft awning on the side of the cap that's bare. Fairly cheap on Ebay depending on which you choose.....and 15 minute installation. Great for rainy days, or to hide from the sun. or cook out of the weather.
I just bought a Jeep Compass latitude and plan on camping out of it every now n then. Can't wait. My Silverado 1500 with a leer topper has been great as well.
It's nostalgic for me seeing someone getting the "car dwelling" bug. I lived in an Xterra and later a VW Van for 540 days in California and loved every minute of it. If you end up in Berkeley, CA I can give a lowkey spot to stay in the truck ;)
I appreciate your humbleness and offer of help and experience! Not many would be so forth coming within all the competition on youtube! Keep TRUCKING and on with the good content! Much love bruh!
Solar Panels and work on that rusted pane. You could get that Raptor bed liner spray from Amazon to spray under your truck and lower quarter panels. A good DIY and affordable after you repair that rust and hole. Do it soon before it gets worse. I lived in Chicago years ago and the winter along with that road salt eat up any unprotected metal.
Some others have mentioned throwing solar panels on top which is a great idea, you could probably get 2 up there. Why not think about extending your shower line to 12' as it looks like you've got at least 2' up front & maybe even add another; 24 gallons would be a great set up & allow to even rinse off the back of the truck when you're all dusted up & want to cook.
That'd be 200lbs of water in the roof. I wouldnt want to drive around with that much weight up that high and I'm guessing the topper isn't even rated to carry that much.
I would suggest a rooftop cargo box for storage and solar panels. Keep two spray bottles for washing dishes. One with soapy water to wash and one clean for rinsing. You will use way less water.
I build a super simple, super easy platform that takes up the whole supercrew backseat if you are interested in seeing pictures. With this, you can fit things nice and tidy underneath, as well as above. basically just eliminates stacking stuff on top of eachother.
Get two 30 volt 60 panel that are rated 230 watt but put out about 180 watts each. They are 3.5'x5.5' which would make a square 5.5'x7' just the right size to cover the cap. Wire them in series and mppt to batteries. Go to a welding shop and get them to put two battery shelves connected to the main frame, there is a lot of wasted space under that truck bed and this would keep the weight of the four batteries low. Think of flooded 6 volt golf cart so it would be 12 volts on each size wired in parallel and series. Trojan T105 is rated 225 wh so you would have 450 wh which is overkill but batteries should be same brand and age so they are balanced and using just 20% of capacity is better than using 80%. You also have back up for the few cloudy days. So much power you could get a $100 32" LED TV that uses about 30 watts and be able to watch all the porn you want or maybe just the world going to hell in a hand bag. 4 batteries $170 each with core charge 2 panels used should be cheap but match them $100 each. MPPT controller $40. You have everything else. Good luck to you.
I hope you also have at least one spare tire, a hydraulic jack and a tire plug kit. The tire plug kit has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. That forward space on the roof would be a great spot for a second tire. Great videos and safe travels!
If you're planning on going to San Diego I recommend getting in touch with Rodney Marquez he is a local youtuber who slays Socal fish and has plenty of contacts to get you out on tuna
Love the drawers. Before you pulled the out, that’s what I thought would make sense to have a lot of space. Just saw your 1st video today, and I’ll be watching more of your videos. Loved the wine for the special lady 😏 lol safe travels
Im sure i watched this long ago but i poped up so why not again!! Been watching a ton of videos on builds, before i filmed my build video. Thanks for the inspiration over the years
Hey Mav, I have pretty close to the same buildout in my truck and one issue I ran into was my water jug. It was identical to yours but one day heading into the mountains for some camping, it exploded! Then I had 7 gallons of water making a pond in the back floorboard of my truck. Luckily it was summer and it dried quick, but definitely something for you to watch out for!
Thanks for explaining/showing how the drawer sliders work, I'd assumed they where on giant drawer runners (I'm a Furniture Designer Maker, so these things interest me, longest runners I've used are 750mm) John fi Scotland 😀 Keep on trucking 😃
Damn good set up man! I built the same drawer system in the back of mine. Unfortunately, an old lady pulled out in front of me and totaled my truck :( Hoping to finally replace it and be back up and running soon! If you're ever exploring New Mexico, I'd love to show you around. Take care!
MavI live in a salt country and what we do to protect our vehicles underneath and stop the rusting is we take and use bar chain oil that you use in a chainsaw and spray the undercarriage and each fall will spray it all down and that stops the rust from Foreman and after you do it for a bit it starts building up a layer so the salt can't get into anything and it it also gets into all the nooks and crannies and and it just stays there it doesn't drip off and it's a cheap way of you know keeping it from rusting now that piece that's rusted out that is a I'm trying to think the name it's called a rear cap and it doesn't take a whole lot to put a new one on you can order them from RockAuto and if you can find somebody that has a welder even a cheap welder you can take and replace that yourself just a thought
I do a lot of fly fishing in San Diego in the summers , check out all the lagoons close to all the beaches for Halibut next time your out there ....I get them on the fly in there .The color Orange works best for me with my bait fish patterns I tie .... also Shrimp , crab fly patterns .... have fun , be safe and tight lines !
Enjoy Cal. Desert used to live there many years ago, and miss 10pm 85 degrees in flip flops. Lots of off road spots on South side of Joshua Tree Nat. Park as well as inside. Depending on route back east can hit London Bridge in Lake Havasu , Az - Enjoy the trip and take pics of well..nearly everything.
I’m driving a 2009 Toyota Tacoma that I’m planning to set up. It is a regular cab and since it’s a smaller truck i can imagine it being harder to live out of and a little more uncomfortable to camp in but I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for the inspiration bro 🙏🏼
Auto body shops might take care of the rust. Otherwise cheapest solution is bondo and white spray paint. Also you could get the underside of the truck sprayed with raptor liner or bed liner since you travel so much
It's so cool following along with your trips, big fan. I'd say with the front section mount a solar panel or some sort of shallow storage system to hold extra gear. Or mount a 36" Blackstone griddle up there lol
If you’re in Washington State and are able to cross the border into Vancouver, reply back and I’ll get you out for some salmon and trout fishing. ( catch, cook, smoke and can. All in the same trip. )
You should look into getting a solar panel battery charger for your battery, just to make sure the battery is charged without needing to run your truck. Keep on trucking!
Just bought a Ram 1500 and I am in love with your setup I am going to do something similar to yours and love that you made the video... Funny thing is too... I named it the White Knight. Keep on truckin mav!~
Surprised you don't have an awning yet. Have you ever thought about making some DIY Mosquito screens for the truck bed windows just to allow fresh air in? As for the shower situation there are cheap privacy shower tents at Walmart, Academy or really any other outdoor store.
Im sure you have fixed it by now....but if not check your roof brake light and see if it is letting water in to rust the cab corners. This is a problem with all trucks. and many years not just fords.
Great video Mav. I'm going to be retiring soon and I want to do something like you're doing now. I will pull a trailer behind it to hold my Pelican Bass Raider. Getting a lot of great ideas from you. Thanks! Keep the videos coming. You're awesome!
I have an ‘05 Ford F-150 king ranch 4wd. Have had nothing but trouble with it. Has 5.4 triton which I’ve read a lot of bad reviews on, motor replaced at 120k, and still having issues. Not a happy Ford owner, will be my last Ford for sure.
If you are on the book of faces, join f-series overland. I have a similar setup to you on my 2012. I'm just a weekend warrior as well. You can get all sorts of idea's and see some cool rigs.
I lived out of my mustang for 3 months with three cats during the beginning of the year. It was interesting to say the least. Always had dry and canned food gallon or two of water. And would fish if I didn't wanna buy any meat mainly chicken sometimes beef or eat out. Pretty much everything you're doing out of the f-150. Either I'd stealth camp or go to actual camp sites. Should of documented it but didn't even think about it at the time. I may do it again soon just minus bring my cats, lol
Thanks for the great video on how you setup your truck which is giving me some ideas on now to setup my F-150 also. I am in Northern Nevada and have fished Pyramid Lake
Thanks so much for tuning in!

Hey! I love your truck bro! and i think i saw you in my city
I live in ventura ca.
Maybe i just confused it
How do you even make money off these videos? Hope you get big
Skid marked under wear
My vjina exploded
Bro you need to put a roof mounted tent on that unused space over the cab

I second the solar panel
MsPrincesspaulina I agree good call, solar panel all the way!
@big country 460 & @BEARDEDYAKER: Thanks.

Dan Roy yeah he definitely went overboard on the clothes
Eat raw eggs?
So jealous of your life, wish I could do what I love for a living as you do...
Wear a condom. Lol
You can if you never worry about money.
I live out of my car and save like $800 a month.
Dark Star King not worth it lol
u have to prioritize life over money. it’s that simple yet so hard in the world we live in.

It's nostalgic for me seeing someone getting the "car dwelling" bug. I lived in an Xterra and later a VW Van for 540 days in California and loved every minute of it. If you end up in Berkeley, CA I can give a lowkey spot to stay in the truck ;)
Looking at this old video really shows how much your set up has changed it’s so cool!

I have a 1998 F150 and I'm inspired by you bro.
I might get me a camper and do a similar setup like yours.
Take care and please keep us entertained.
Just got a 97 f250 think I’m gonna do the same. Gonna save up for some add on’s to try and get the mpg to around 18-19

You should add a solar panel on the top
You should put a light bar on the roof rack so when ur back there you can see what ur doin at night and put one on the front for when ur out at night
You should make a video on how you made the shower tube.
This really make me want to do this to my bronco.
So cool keep up the good work
I would suggest a rooftop cargo box for storage and solar panels. Keep two spray bottles for washing dishes. One with soapy water to wash and one clean for rinsing. You will use way less water.
Put solar panels on the roof and maybe a flood lights
I know this was a yr ago but I love the astroturf!
I build a super simple, super easy platform that takes up the whole supercrew backseat if you are interested in seeing pictures. With this, you can fit things nice and tidy underneath, as well as above. basically just eliminates stacking stuff on top of eachother.
Let’s see it !
@@mav I DM'd you the pics on IG. I can get you the measurements if you decide to build
Get two 30 volt 60 panel that are rated 230 watt but put out about 180 watts each. They are 3.5'x5.5' which would make a square 5.5'x7' just the right size to cover the cap.

Spray down the tools you use around the beach with wd-40 when you’re done it will help prevent rust
Also just keep them clean. (Never been around the ocean with a shovel). But even in dirt and mud. Just wash them off and dry them. You’ll be good.
“Me and the special lady”

Sooo crazy how much you've changed homie lol. Growing up in front of millions of people 💪🤘🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
I’m driving a 2009 Toyota Tacoma that I’m planning to set up. It is a regular cab and since it’s a smaller truck i can imagine it being harder to live out of and a little more uncomfortable to camp in but I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for the inspiration bro 🙏🏼

I want to do the Truck Life but Im 6'1 and I dnt think I can fit comfortably in the Bed of the Truck🍻
You can get away with a 6 foot bed will just have to sleep crooked or always be bending if you sleep straight
Im 6’4” and i just sleep catty corner in mine...works well
might be late on this video but u can hook up, solar panel for your battery etc, while u drive u can power up
It's so cool following along with your trips, big fan. I'd say with the front section mount a solar panel or some sort of shallow storage system to hold extra gear. Or mount a 36" Blackstone griddle up there lol
You should do another update now you’ve finished your first year!
Use Thompson's water seal, the thin stuff. This will turn rusty metal black. In a month spray another coat, never rust again.
Yeah I love the long pullout drawers. I'll have those no matter which rig I end up with truck or van
going fly fishin? grab a flannel. got me dying man
Foreign staffing companies now control all hiring in the US. Have you ever considered what would happen to you if you lost your vehicle?
You should have some self defense weapon in your truck 🤙🏿and also a Big LED lights on top would be nice during night.
hmm, I guess you want to add good protection for your truck. hmm go ahead and take a brush guard or off-road bumper. I liked the camper truck.
The artificial turf is my favourite part bro.
If you’re in Washington State and are able to cross the border into Vancouver, reply back and I’ll get you out for some salmon and trout fishing. ( catch, cook, smoke and can.
All in the same trip. )
Turf is the move
Thanks for showing the truck answered a lot of questions I had
My only truck ever f150 brother, love my 95!
Subbed
Maybe add a solar panel to the front roof rack, to charge the rear battery.
Awesome set up...Great video...Has everything you need...You can always change things up later if you need too . Enjoy the experience...
I envy your life. Live it up while your young Mav.
Love the turf! Looks nicer!
Where is your ham and cb radios? What do you do for medical gear? What do you use for self defense?
So I stumbled across your channel, I have went back to your older videos to see how it all started. Very cool! Best of luck!
The turf looks nice, no arguing there, but I think you would’ve gotten better insulation for cold weather conditions if you had used carpeting.
You should look into getting a solar panel battery charger for your battery, just to make sure the battery is charged without needing to run your truck. Keep on trucking!
You could mount a box with recovery gear/tools/etc on the empty space up top.
The turf is unique man, but really awesome! Loving the videos!
Such a sick setup, awesome way to be enjoying the country
Dude! I love the shower idea.
I dig the astro turf!
A tow strap wouldn’t be a bad piece of equipment to have! Keep up the good work man, good high quality videos!
The turf is wavy 💰
Love the Astro turf and that’s gonna be some salty wood
awesome setup, lots of good ideas!
Putting that f150 to full use
Just bought a Ram 1500 and I am in love with your setup I am going to do something similar to yours and love that you made the video... Funny thing is too... I named it the White Knight. Keep on truckin mav!~
Surprised you don't have an awning yet. Have you ever thought about making some DIY Mosquito screens for the truck bed windows just to allow fresh air in? As for the shower situation there are cheap privacy shower tents at Walmart, Academy or really any other outdoor store.
Im sure you have fixed it by now....but if not check your roof brake light and see if it is letting water in to rust the cab corners. This is a problem with all trucks. and many years not just fords.
I was wondering if you guys split since you’ve become a vagabond. Pretty awesome that she’s got the van house too!
Great video Mav. I'm going to be retiring soon and I want to do something like you're doing now. I will pull a trailer behind it to hold my Pelican Bass Raider. Getting a lot of great ideas from you. Thanks! Keep the videos coming. You're awesome!
Cool setup. I see that u need an Awning on the passenger side so u can sit under to eat or drink to relax in hot or raining weather etc
MAV! Dude, you need to get a kayak start doing kayak vids get a light weight Native Slayer 10.5 2 piece pedal drive and stick that bad boy on top!!
Get a fuel tank or something for your water that will free open your back seat for other storage!
If u ever acknowledge or read this please link the vid or do a video of ur refrigerator battery wire setup
I would put a solar panel or 2 up there
I have an ‘05 Ford F-150 king ranch 4wd. Have had nothing but trouble with it. Has 5.4 triton which I’ve read a lot of bad reviews on, motor replaced at 120k, and still having issues. Not a happy Ford owner, will be my last Ford for sure.
You could get solar panels so that you don’t have to use the battery of your car for powe
If you are on the book of faces, join f-series overland. I have a similar setup to you on my 2012. I'm just a weekend warrior as well. You can get all sorts of idea's and see some cool rigs.
I lived out of my mustang for 3 months with three cats during the beginning of the year. It was interesting to say the least. Always had dry and canned food gallon or two of water. And would fish if I didn't wanna buy any meat mainly chicken sometimes beef or eat out. Pretty much everything you're doing out of the f-150. Either I'd stealth camp or go to actual camp sites. Should of documented it but didn't even think about it at the time. I may do it again soon just minus bring my cats, lol
Thanks for the great video on how you setup your truck which is giving me some ideas on now to setup
my F-150 also. I am in Northern Nevada and have fished Pyramid Lake
Put a solar panel on the empty space up top!!!
Hey MAV, I sent something for your kitchen. Should be arriving later this week. Enjoy!
You should get a rooftop tent so you can free up a bunch of space
I love your channel, I'm going to go camping soon with my dogs, your ideas are great!!! I can't go fishing because I'm allergic to fish😟😬
So you’re out in the dessert with almost empty water container and gas jugs empty? 😳
He has a Ford, he had very little to worry about
Solar panels on the roof. Someone beat me to it but I'm sure it would be a great help to your battery charging situation. Liking your videos a lot.
