Hi All!! I have posted another one if your interested give it a watch!! >>>> th-cam.com/video/949SWiSWc7A/w-d-xo.html
That's a super simple set up. I couldn't imagine not being able to fully sit up, but you got the outdoors to enjoy
How do you get open and close the back while your in it?
What kind of roof rack is that? Is it removable.
And the best parts:
1) When you want to drive for an errand or day trip, minimal hassle, unlike a rooftop tent
2) If you arrive after dark, you're already set up
3) Most of your gear stays locked in the truck, even for short trips
4) You're not on the ground
5) Hard shell beats fabric/poles in the wind and rain
Great work!
lot of people go way overboard , you made it nice and simple
Dude!!! Hands down THE easiest camper sleeper set up!!!!!! Everyone else makes it so damn complicated!!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment!
“Yeah, it’s sturdy enough for extra curricular activities, that’s all I’m going to say.” Lol
😂😂
Maybe a 2X6 in the middle??
Thank you!!! I had to sift through so much “van conversion” nonsense to find this perfect simple video! This gives me such hope. ✌🏻
Thanks! Good luck on your build!
Well they are living out their van for months at a time so it’s not nonsense but good luck on your built
I just helped my grandpa with his build. He has a 1985-1989 Chevy and we have two beds which are 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. Then we have a table with a mini stove a sink and food. We have a tv and some lights that are battery powered. Overall it’s really nice and I hope you finished your build.
Ikr!! I had giving up but then I got on and this popped up in my feed and I immediately clicked it and got I need. The best truck bed setup ever!
That middle floor truss could be blocked in like you did with the bed slats , and you wouldn't have to screw it in at all, just add the blocks on the bottom-side of the slats and it's a done deal, but all in all it's a pretty sweet set-up, just throwing my two-cents in , might work, might not, you'd find out in the middle of the night if it collapsed , Ha,ha,ha !!!
haha, That actually a great idea! I may do that next time I set it up. Thanks for your two cents!
Love that. Simple, and you can take it out and be a "truck" again. Great video...thanks!!!!
Exactly! Thanks for the comment
I had no clue Tom Brady did wood work and camped. Thats pretty neat!
just made this exact setup after watching this for my 2015 Ram 1500 with the 6'4 Bed, If any of you watching this have a 2009-2019 Ram with a 6'4 bed, these are the measurements for the wood you need.
- For the Two Wheel well pieces that will be two 2x4's 70 1/2 inch
- For the horizontal bed slots that will be 5 1x6's 66 inch
- For the 4 towers on all corners that will be four 2x4's 10 inch tall
- For the two pieces of plywood that go over the slots for the bedframe that will be two sections each one cut 33 inches wide by 70 1/2 inches long
- Reflectix is found in insulation at Home depot, while your having the wood cut Grab two Rolls and some reflectix aluminum tape, that will be enough to cover all the ply wood and some extra left over.
- For the mattress I got a full size queen mattress that measured 60x80 and it fits nice and tight and i got to slam the tailgate shut to smush it in but I have the added convenience of a full size mattress, if you dont want to go this route just grab some foam at home depot or a 4 inch queen mattress topper.
follow this and everything will fit perfect :)
Would these measurements fit 2005 f-150 6.5’ bed?
Thank you so much for this! 🙌
Budget Shooter thank you for posting this information. It is very helpful. I believe the only thing you left out was the 1x10” support which should also be 70 1/2 inches. The drawers don’t have to be as exact.
Hey Budget Shooter, do you have a bed liner in the truck? I was just leaving for Lowes when I saw your post, trying to figure if I need to adjust 1/2 and inch...
Mark Hankinson I have the factory spray in bed liner on my truck, not the plastic tub style bedliner. Not sure if any adjustments need to be made
At long last I have found a setup that makes sense! I don't want all the "you bute" stuff everyone promotes. Keep it simple!
👌
I am preparing my mind to blown away. I love it dude your video is the best!!!!!
Perfect suggestions. Getting the truck set up for a Arizona winter camping trip
Easy, cheap, simple......what's not to love. Great job man, and nice video, thanks!
Simple, clean, and efficient!! Thanks for posting, man!!
Easiest set up i have seen great job
Brilliant. Could have saved myself a lot of money and heartburn if I’d seen this 3 years ago. Super job.
That’s awesome, add Labs it always a perfect day
This is a great video, definitely gonna copy your setup. It’s gold
Great work! I like that its simple and perfectly functional. Well done.
This is absolutely inspiring. Thank you.
Really like the simplicity of the under bed drawer. Simple does whats needed and inexpensive! KISS principal at its finest!
Thank you sir!
Agree with you , people don't realize the more wood you have the more weight you have to lug around as well, i know this as a friend of mine years ago made big ass cupboards , draws and other storage every where and the poor van struggled lol.
Love it! Simple, practical and effective!
Glad you Like it!!
Love the drawer idea
Best setup I've seen. Great job my friend!
Lmfaooo “uhhh, yeah. It is. That’s all I’m gonna say”
He obviously knows from experience 😂
I knew I liked you when I saw how much you love your dogs!
Liking the Velcro curtains. 👍
This videos encouraged me to build my own! CANT wait to test it out now
Very interesting well organized camping car.. cool I want to remodel my mini van as well
this is soo amazing...I loved it..😍😍
Great job! So simple yet super ingenious!
Simple yet clever! 👍 Thanks for sharing!
After years of different configurations I have the same setup pretty much, drawers, softopper, roofrack. Works for me. I agree about the yeti cooler.
Thanks so much for this! I’m going to do pretty much this exact frame. Never built anything before but you definitely make it sound easy enough. Greatly appreciated for the step by step rundown you do!
Super easy to do!Good luck on your build!
Thanks for setup!! I will follow exactly!! Excellent!!
Well done sir! Love the simplicity!
WOW, nice build and setup. Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot!
nice, that was very simple and looks like i could build it even with little carpenter skills, i love it. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment, Forsure you could build it with very basic tools and skills. Good luck if you decide too!
Thank you for this . I just started mine today. Having a bit of trouble over the wheel wells but have no doubt it will be great. Ty for sharing and it’s the perfect idea.
Brilliant setup dude! I've been watching a bunch of videos to get some ideas, and yours is my favorite. Simple, easy, and it works! Thanks for the tips! 👌👍
The best bed platform I've seen yet! And I've been watching every one I can find. I wanted a slat bed rather than a solid sheet of plywood.This is brilliant! Efficient, lighter, fast to set up. Thank you for sharing it!
He stole the idea from mav th-cam.com/channels/L_BZpt0J9Kqwy6YPWr30ow.html
I swear you make me feel like I could actually do this.... Awesome.... Genius set-up
You can!! So simple. Do it up! 👍👍
This was awesome! Best simple bed build I have seen. Great video👍.
Awesome job Brady
Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve been looking at builds for about a month now and you had my same truck and cap set up. I ended up using 6 - 2x4s instead of the 5 - 1x6s. The only other real differences I had was that I have a spray in liner and not a plastic so some of the curvatures are different. I’m debating on doing a headliner on my cap but at this point I don’t think it’s necessary. But anyways thank you so much for your wonderful videos!
I also wanted to add that I ended up building this with only a Skilsaw and some deck screws and my entire Home Depot bill came out to $105. Way cheaper than buying a small travel camper and I can travel stealth still!
It looks good dude, super simple great job
Thanks bro!
This channel deserves more followers.
EXACTLY what I want for my truck and you make it look so easy!! Thank you
I had a similar camper unit back in the 80's but it was one piece insert so it was heavy and hard to store.
Thank you, this has been so helpful. My wife and I have been camping throughout our home state California for several years, but now have a Chevy Silverado and want to do more road trips in it. This is the perfect tutorial for utilizing space in an organized and comfortable way.
So glad it helped! Thanks for watching. Enjoy your road trips!
Holy shit, thank you for making this! Your system is so simple and lightweight. Love it!
Brilliant and super easy setup with boards!
That reminds me of my two girls sleeping with me and taking over the bed, sure miss them.
Back Off Ummm... care to elaborate?
No speak inglês. 😓
👏👏👏 very good my friend!
Good luck! 😂😂😂
From Brasil- Paraná- Curitiba.
Been trying to figure something out for my own truck, this is going to be perfect! Awesome video!
Great ideas. Thank you for posting... So helpful.
Perfect simple setup man! This is exactly what I'm looking to do with my recent truck purchase. Thanks for putting the guy together 👍 I think when I build mine I might try to do it without screws, if possible... to make it easy to break down for if I want to get wood chips and such
Glad you liked it man. Right on! Good luck on your build!
That is the best simple set up I've seen in a long time .....your still able to use your truck for other things as well....nice job .love your set up.
Thanks a lot! 🍻
Great minimalist build! It’s all you need. Thanks for the video.
Best set up I’ve seen thus far thank u
Always a good safety precaution to carry a 5gal gas can along with your water
Brady - I completed the build this weekend, but painted everything and added a drawer on the right side. Thanks for the instruction and design - very helpful!!
Awesome! Glad to hear that. Happy camping!
is there anyway you can help me out and give me dimensions of the bomber that I'll need and the cuts I will probably end up living in my truck with a next couple months, and it would be helpful
@@Kurogane_666 I’ll hav stop get out and measure ur own truck, every truck is different
I love this setup
This is awesome! I love that cargo basket too! Enjoy the adventures..
Man this exactly what i couldnt think of. Ive been super over thinking this whole thing and didnt want to mount anything to the bed permanently. You get a sub from me
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
I've been looking to do the same thing and your setup was the easiest. Kudos for the Reflectix idea. I'm critical of the Yeti coolers tho. NOTHING justifies the price, they are for the well heeled Glampers who are now pushing the poor guy out of camp sites all over America. The price is outrageous. They only last 1 day longer than your 5day Coleman which with proper care should last decades. And two are affordable, one for drinks that open frequently and one for food that gets opened at mealtime. Then you will have money leftover to pay admission fees for campsites and tourist attractions along the way. THX for the video.
Excellent idea on the Coleman solution!
I like the simplicity of it. Most I've seen are way too complicated. Everything you need, nothing you don't. Good job.
Thank you! Glad you liked it
Simple and just what I wanted to see thanks
Just became a new sub.
Excelent! Loved it! 👏👏👏👏👏
LaCocinadera was
Good designs are simple. Love it
Great setup, quick and easy thanks!
I'm gonna steal your pullout shelf idea. Great idea! Because inevitably you will want whatever is in the container furthest back.
😂😂 this is very true! Dont do what I did in this video. Always keep the food bin closest to the tailgate not the furthest back. Haha
This is a slick setup man. Thanks for sharing! You would be hard pressed to find a better removable set up!
Thanks a lot John!
good idea
Now I know what to do with the lumber in the loft of my storage barn.
Awesome man!! So simple and practical! Great vid cheers!👍🏻
How easy or difficult would it be to make a pass through from the camper into the cab? I'd love to be able to go full time with a truck rather than an RV or trailer but I have to have access to the drivers seat from the interior. How would you pull that off? Would you make a video of it maybe?
Love the video - thank you! I have a couple questions if you have time:
1) If I want my platform to be higher (about 18 inches high) how would you go about putting in the spine that runs from front to back down the middle of bed? Would you cut plywood and run it and, if so, how would you secure the the plywood support? Or could you totally skip having that ridge spine down the middle if you used thicker slats?
2) Since it will be so high, would you use 4x4s at each of the four corners to avoid it seeming unsteady on stilts? I won't be able to use the wheel wells for supports since it will be higher than those.
Any ideas greatly appreciated, and thanks for posting the video!
Bobby Axelrod
Excellent tips - thanks very much!
Did you do it?
How did it turn out??
No nonsense, simple and great. I love it.
Pretty slick set up!
You should come to ssm ontario and help me build mine!!!!
Like your setup and love the dogs, they sure remember how much fun they have camping. Is that a Leer campershell ? Thanks.
Thanks a lot! Yes it is the 100xq with roof racks. I wouldnt recommend it tho. Back door leaks which has caused the latches the sieze up and not work correctly. And for the price you pay for it, it is unacceptable. It looks good for a truck cap but that's about it.
@@BradyHommel had same problem with my leer on a frontier, some water still got in. thinking about going A.R.E with high top on my tacoma.
@@michaelm4514 high top would definetly be convenient for camping like this! 👍
Dude! You’re awesome!
OUTSTANDING!
I don’t get lifting the heaviest items (ice chest, water jug) onto the roof. Why not put them in the back seat or on top of the bed?
They can’t go on the back seat because that is probably where the dogs ride, but yeah you could just set it on the bed while driving until you get to the camp site
Same thoughts here!
Instead of having to screw the board to the middle support, couldn't you use a wooden or metal pin/peg/dowel to drop into pre drilled hole? Just a thought
That is a great idea!
@@BradyHommel for the middle support in my set up I used plywood. This allowed me to custom fit the center support with proud ends that are high enough to hug the front and back cross boards. I then screwed some jibs on these cross boards to make a pseudo mortise and tenon joint. No screws are needed to set up and tare down
Good set man, great idea!!
Nice and simple bed frame setup! Thanks for sharing bro!
I gonna have to call up Yeti and complain that you threw 1 of there yeti on the ground lol just kidding..
Haha 😂

To go from fewer than 1k subscribers to 2.8k in 3 months is fantastic! Wish I could do that! I suppose all it takes is a great video like yours and asking people to subscribe. Any suggestions?
Any you are correct: that is SIMPLE and DOES fill the need! Good Job, Brady!
liked and subbed. great vid. tfs
Great information. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Mr Hommel for an easy setup. I do not have a canopy yet, but the bed/storage setup looks easy enough to do at my age. I love camping, and after my last couple of solo campouts, I'm looking seriously into something in my truck bed. I have a Dodge Dakota, so will need to make a few adjustments. Keep up the great work. 🙂
Awesome work
I’m on acid watching this
Lucky you, I'm just here normally. Fml, lol
How are you feeling? 😂
jose mora lol well I was feeling amazing then. Not so great right now lol
Enjoyed this
Great simple solution. Thanks
"Extra circular activities" 😭
I'm talking like.. REALLY round ones.
real nice, simple layout
thanks
Great video and set up!! Thanks!
Good minimalist build! Shalom!
