I love you so very much and I’m so proud of all you’ve accomplished and very happy that you’ve been able to do & see so much in this world ❤ My heart is always with you wherever you go. Love Always Mom❤💕😘
Way to go mom! ❤
WOW! Very very beautiful! Blown away!
Fantastic simple and efficient layout, love the bed space and headroom. I applaud your guts and courage adopting that lifestyle as a single woman and am extremely envious.
We're looking to build a camper in Thailand, and I want to incorporate a similar layout as it lends itself to a drop-down rear deck with extendable outdoor kitchen and seating at the rear. Most removable campers here slide into a pickup enclosure and do not facilitate a midway door in the side which, as with your set up, improves the layout considerably.
I'd love to see a video on the coupling set up showing the base flatbed structure and the connecting accommodation pod and tanks base.
You note the bed space size but what is the length of your lower level living space please?
I'm also curious to know where your spare wheel lives.
I would suggest considering a cab access hatch behind your bed steps as another security measure. We'd want that for our dogs to be able to pass in and out.
Wishing you the best of luck and fortune in your travels and your TH-cam endeavours, you certainly deserve it.
Beautiful honey. I love your tour of your flatbed truck and camper. I love every part and your explanation of all you showed. Love you. ❤❤❤❤
That was incredible- thanks Jen. 🎉
Oh yah great climbing in that park, enjoy
A good, detailed video of your well thought out rig. thanks
Awesome setup!
Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it!
Best truck camper on YT hands down.! Love this rig..! Glamp on Girl, glamp on.!
Wow thanks Jake!! I am truly in love with this rig! I can't wait to see the new ones they come out with!!
This is a great product video. DIY at it's best.
On my telephone, I can adjust the playback speed of TH-cam videos.
On any video longer than six minutes, I often watch at 1.25x or faster.
.
Part-way through your tour, I verified my playback speed was 'normal'.
For some reason... I was sure I set you at 2x.
Great tour, excellent content, superb graphics, and several thousand words at somewhere around 200mph.
Whew!
LOL that would be the New Yorker in me. :-) I like to do most things fast, including talking hehe
And there, my friends, is a top-shelf rig tour; a thorough, interesting, and nicely paced walk-through by a person who knows their sh!t. The videography and editing doesn't get any better than that, either. Brava!
thank you!!!!!!
Like I said nice rig, and nice channel. Ok now I can say I have seen all your videos. You are a very talented soul. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
This video is extraordinarily well-written and edited:
* different camera elevations
* sweeps
* pull-ins and -outs
* graphics, such as the overlay of the jack attachments
* thorough, zero extraneous flub
* narration over 'B' roll.
.
We operate a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon.
We share the acreage with a couple-three dozen other workkampers in various versions of home-built rigs and RecreateVehicles.
Each viewer remarks on the professional quality of this video.
.
Your product easily earns TheLargeMarge SealOfApproval.
Appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for giving us a tour of your rig! I felt all the details were covered nice and through. Your videos are very well put together I would be interested to see your video equipment rundown. Looking forward to more videos!
I love the detail of this tour and the explanation of everything you have for your purposes. Really well done and really inspiring for customizing any camper.
Thank you for watching, and I really appreciate the positive feedback!
Good for you, you know what you want to do and go for it,. Stay safe and enjoy life.
Your channel is doing so great I love it. Your experience and knowledge is amazing. A true professional and a beautiful person.
good to see a new vid hope that bills player gets better, you are looking great girl, cheers
Thanks Bill! Go Bills
@@GirlGoneGlamping hey they had a great season, im stuck with the commanders but new owner on the way who knows..cheers
Lindsay, wise good girl to get out and see America, especially the west. I'm from New York state and love the American west. The solidude and the mountains are absolutely gorgeous.
Make nature your home. I'm glad you did it at a young age. I'm now 70 and am just doing it at my ol age. Every day is the first day of the rest of my life.
I'm beginning with a 30' trailer but I want to build a home on my 4X4 Dodge 2500 truck bed to live in far off the road. I bought land in four western states, Oregon, California, Colorado and western Texas to live and camp on. I need a land foot print to call home off the grid. I'll rotate to all four places. I have Florida land but it's to wild down here, gotta get out, sell the land.💫
Absolutely wonderful video!
Following...🏞😉
Just found your channel. Very nice video production, that took alot of time to put together. I'm curious if you've thought about patenting the parts your dad fabricated, or starting up a specialty van/RV fabrication biz. Love your rig.
Thanks! No plans at the moment to start any other side projects, but I do wish the manufacturer would make a similar step on their new builds. Thanks for watching!
Thumbs up for mom’s comment and of course your camper build. 😊
Awesome..thank you for sharing
Ngl really cool truck always thought about doing something like that for long summer vacations with a Ford F-350 I’d also want it to be a Dually to do a little more extra weight but also keep the ability of four wheel drive always been my dream to do that over the bed of the truck or own a trailer and just hit the road and have a good time glad to see other people share the experience I wanna live and enjoy it gives me a lot of hope only being 19 my self tho I have a way to go until I can
Love your video keep them coming.
Thanks for being patient, more to come!!!
Great tour, thanks!
Cheers!
Freight biz been crazy since last upload🧐. Have no fear recession coming next year. I predict more and more frequent videos. This one was very well put together & had a pro production feel. Nice. Travel safe and enjoy the winter.
I was going through my subscribed list a while ago and wondered if life "or worse" got in the way of youtube and just now realized you posted a video a month ago, good thing I had not unsubscribed after all !. I like how you gave a lot of detailed and technical information that a lot of owners would miss or not have a clue about. I had no idea that there was a specialty camper manufacturer in Red Deer, ( I farm up in the Grande Prairie area ) and I see their more elaborate campers are insanely expensive as are any of these type of roamer type campers. As you pointed out all the rear suspension modifications, this reminds me all too well of my brothers one ton dually crew cab with a slide in camper. Although the camper has no slide outs, its still heavy and in fact ready for the road its 13500 or more depending on water and crap thrown in and the GVW is 13000 for the truck. He had to add two leaves per side, also had airbags installed and that's a whole other topic, then after some years of stressful summer holiday driving installed stableload wedges as it was a scary unit driving in much of a side wind or going around curves and that helped some, then I convinced him to spend the bucks on larger aftermarket anti sway bars both front and rear ( his ford comes with both from the factory ) and finally after all of that the truck handles decent in some fairly adverse weather conditions. I am only guessing that the 12200 puts you a bit over your GVW given the single rear tire situation ?. You may have seen the one ton dodge dually photos circulating around the internet lately as per the frame having cracked and left him stranded at the side of the road in Mexico, that camper he has is one insanely stupid heavy unit with three slide outs and packed with gear and water in the tanks it would have been way over the trucks GVW and finally the frame said NO MORE !. The unit you have plus all the additions you've done to it, that is one fantastic equipped unit.
@Charles,
Are you referring to the EarthRoamer on the 5500 chassis?
That rig is substantially stouter than this pick-up truck.
.
Pro Tip from long-time Mexico travelers:
* be aware of the 'dead cops', the vernacular for the absurd vehicle-slowing mounds of pavement -- or steel 'helmets' -- across some roads.
Those 'dead cops' are often steep enough and high enough to ruin your suspension and wheels... or break your frame.
@@largemarge1603 I was more referring to specialty campers such as hers or also from that same company designed for a 1 ton truck that have the full width flat bottom theme ( not designed to slide into the back of a typical box type pickup ) but which I believe are also geared around a 1 ton that require no separate flat deck but the whole unit is built/mounted onto the truck and has the lower compartments as part of the camper so it becomes what I will off hand refer to as a "smallish medium roamer". If you have ever watched Tim and Kelsey who did the whole Panamerican highway, they had what I would refer to as a mini roamer ( made by Maltec in Europe I believe ) onto a Toytota landcruiser they modify, again very expensive for what is there but also compact and capable off road. Then the big roamers $$$, huge and heavy and some have very large tires and some on Unimogs or that type of vehicle. Well beyond the price range the average person could ever easily afford to own.
I've never heard of these mounds of pavement or steel embedded into the pavement, is this something they have installed in the last 40 years or less ?. The reason I ask is that I've never been to Mexico but my dad was back in the mid 80's on a trip with a caravan tour type company and my dads fifth wheel was constantly falling apart suspension wise, was never made for the crap road sections they have down there ( which really is no different then the main Alaska Highway in sections ! )
Hi there, thanks for watching and sticking around! I am slightly over my GVWR, but have upgraded all necessary components to be sure that the rig can handle it. Cheers!
Pacifico Beer!
A Belgin-Brazil owned Anheuser-Busch beer!
I was surprised about being off grid! Indicates highly efficient usage of the converted power.
Good eye!! Always like to have a cold beer on hand! :-)
@@GirlGoneGlamping Especially when watching Mafia football!
Even have a "Spoken" mug to remind everybody about your fanaticism.
Great updated Truck Tour , I'm glad to see you're still thriving ! ~peace~

Love your set up! Thanks for sharing and Go Bills!
Thanks for watching! Go Bills!!
Take care on all your tours 😎
A very nice setup. A good practical concise video well made.
Appreciate the feedback!
Great video 😊
Pickles and Bills Mafia Gear in an OEV!!!! :) It’s a pretty amazing rig!
haha you know me too well!!
Nice 👍
Nice camper, 320W on the roof is a good, solution also for hot water and A/C. How much did it cost? Imagine, Your Dad did lots of work to improve the electrical parts and other hardware. Sorry not to call You by name. You are really good and a nice person. Good luck. And just for curiosity: what do You do for living?
I have 3, 330 watt panels, so 990watts of solar. It's for sale, $175k All in, $150K for just the camper. Thanks!
Where do you like to ski and camp? I spent a month at Tiger Run in Breckenridge last winter and am heading to Park City this winter. Only have a week planned currently and going late March so I can go south to visit Utah parks during the shoulder season when they are not so busy. Would like to include some more skiing earlier in March so interested in suggestions. Thanks.
HI there, winter camping is a hard one, a lot of places close in the winter, or are blocked by all the snow. Unfortunately it's a lot of walmart, and cracker barrel etc parking during the snowiest times.
Great tour! Keep up the good work! Would be interesting to know how long the overall camper is 🤔
cheers
25ft is the length from my brush guard to the rear ladder!
Curious why change to this camper rig over the earthroamer? Aren't earthroamers more capable, bigger & secure with the integrated shell with passthrough verses a "camper" that sits on a tray? Thanks.
@WHI,
Although built on a 5500 for greater GVWR, that capacity is absorbed by the heavier quarters.
.
BTB,
Are you familiar with the EarthRoamer weld-in reinforcement for the rear frame?
Apparently, used as intended, the rear over-hang -- behind the axle -- creates an unexpected stress.
The frames break.
.
That is a problem in Mexico with inattentive drivers crashing over their traffic-slowing devices attached to the road -- 'dead cops' in the local lingo.
The earthroamer was just a rental. And I really like that the camper is removable, better on taxes and for resale value. IMO
More ski videos - please. Taos opened today.
It's about that time of year!!! Hope you have a great season!
Wooo💥💥💥Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate you watching!!
Have you ever had a leak in your rig? It looks virtually impossible with the minimal roof penetrations.
👏👏👏
Wao, this is the best unit I have seen. How much is the cost of the unit as is?
I bought mine pre-pandemic and have about $180k invested in the total rig (truck/camper/systems)
Lindsey, are you back??
🔥🔥
Weird that you get millions of views on tiny homes post of the same thing and so few here.
They have a lot more subscribers.
hey beautiful could i contact you sometime off of here? would love to get to know you better!
@fig,
I have three dogs.
Few could compete with them...
