- After spending my first night sleeping in the back seat of my Ford F150, I have learned a few simple things that can be done to improve comfort and the overall usability of the cab as a sleeping space. This should be helpful as I'm preparing to spend 4-5 nights in the truck soon!

When I was on the road a lot I had a great advantage sleeping in the truck…. I’m only 5’4” it was the perfect length😂
I don't know if anyone has told you yet but I appreciate all the effort you have been putting into this 30/30 project! I have really been enjoying the daily content brother! Keep it up, you are almost there!!!!
Good ideas! Anybody interested in sleeping in the back of the pickup should look up Roadie truck door tents. They allow you to have the windows open and screen in place.
Hey Trip, look into the hack to drop the back of those back seats. Lots of unused space behind that driver side back seat. Very easy mod you can do yourself.
Love this video. I have a 2015 f150. I use a $10 twin size intex air mattress from walmart, close about a foot and a half of it between the side of the seat and the door and air it up pretty firm. I have two bags I place on each side of the floor board and sleep very comfortably. Works great.
Going to have to start living in my truck for about a year thanks for this helps a lot
Trip, have you seen those inflatable "L" shaped mattresses designed to go On Top of the seat in the back of the truck so you can still use the under seat storage, and have all the room of the cab to sleep on
This was great. I made a wire like that right after watching...it will hang all my clothes for a weekend and I think it will keep the cab darker. Brilliant!
You gotta spend the 160 bucks on a full truck sunshade kit, by weather tech Greatest investment for the truck
Hi, just idea , i made long time a go a base and it’s works great. You can make a base bed top with plywood and legs which can go across from the back corner from the driver side. Going on the top of the passenger seat. You laid down the passenger seat and you have more space to sleep and you can storage stuff under the plywood top
When I saw that pink donut for sure you would put it under the mat to make it recline but under your knees is good sometimes I do that when something in the hammock
Truck stop showers help when your trying to save money on hotels if there is a truck stop close by. As a driver we get them free with 50 gal of fuel , easily doable in a day , to pay for them they average about $10 but some are as cheap as $5
Gotcha, thanks for the tip!
The shoe hanger bags cut down would give you lots more storage options.
Keep um comin' Trip!
Great idea
I seen an air mattress that's made for the back seats of a truck, but I think it's to be used with the seats down
I’ve slept in my back seat several nights on fishing adventures and it was just ok but after a long trip out west I found myself searching for hotel rooms so I bought a cap for my truck. I’m 6ft and the truck is just too narrow for comfort. Thankfully my bed is 6’6”.
Yeah I feel you Christopher. Hopefully I'll get a cap soon!
I’ve been thinking about sleeping in the cab of my 150 for a fly fishing/camping road trips. Some good ideas. Thanks.
keep looking for a camper shell and build a rig like MAV, you had the Toyota set up pretty good.
With all due respect, I would honestly rather find one tree and stretch my hammock between there and the back of my truck! I don't ever sleep well away from home but much worse in the truck lol. You should patent the Trip Clip lol👍
Hi Trip,
Love your videos!!!!
I realize u have expanded your repertoire beyond paddling. Still, I am hoping you will make a video on the following subject. I have looked on the internet for any videos on paddling Upstream on an incoming tide without success. I want to learn where the most efficient route going upstream is as well as where in the river the water is moving Upstream while the current is moving Downstream. Is it on the inside bends or is it on the riverbed below the surface water, etc?
Thank you,
Tina
Enjoying your videos brother. Maybe check out the thermarest pillows. You roll them up and can put in dry sack easily.
The knee thing was a legit idea.
Oh yea ;)
Thank you 😊
great video. looking for size fitting mattest for better solution after purchasing F150
I don't know of one....
Trip better to hang clothes on left side so don’t block visibility on right side doing passing and lane changing. Just saying
Why not take the front passenger seat
take all that out
Use wire hangers, and you can twist the hook so the clothes will be flush with the door.
That's a good thought...... Thanks!
awesome video once again Trip!!!!!!!!
Why don't you get a locking tool chest for the back of your truck?
I rarely do this sort of thing so didn't feel the need to. Now I have a fiberglass shell on her 🤙
What kind of truck do you own? I just bought a F150 and wonder if it’s the same size as yours.
Canadians call it a box. 'Mericans call it a (truck)bed
I do good bit of traveling for my school and I was thinking about staying in my vehicle overnight but I’m concerned about getting to hot. What are you going to do for ac?
Right now, temps are still low at night. When it does get hot, I have a small fan I'll plug into my battery bank 👍
Is that the 5.5ft or 6.5 ft box??
5.5”..... will still be able to make some sleeping arrangements work back there 👍
I done truck camping or VAN CAMPING for years. Organizing is all ways a problem. That is why being minimalist is best when staying in a vehicle
Hi trip first
Thanks for being quick! 😜🤙🤙🤙
I'm 6'1", but I'm a side sleeper so my legs are always bent. I've slept very comfortably in the rear seat area of an F150.
lap top cable lock
Huh? Not sure what you are referring too.
How tall are you
Telemarketers all you have to do is waste their time and be super annoying to them get their number so you can call them back in a little bit call them back 60 times and they put you on the do not call list. I’ve obviously been on it for years because I always mess with them and they never call me back and they don’t call me no more.
How tall are you?
About 5'8"
How about a truck tent! Gives you more sleeping space! 😊
A truck tent isn't quite as stealth.... I do want to get a camper shell though. That would be just as well and not stand out quite as much.
At least turn the engien on and keep the ac running bro. Don't sleep in the truck without ac running.
Shoot..... I'm not going to waste that fuel lol
Just buy a slide in truck camper
👋😎👍
🏊♂️😃
totally uncomfortable
make it utilitarian...more useful...
Lol
There ya go!
Why don’t you just buy a fold up futon and a pillow. Hangers?you must be an office worker
Hey man how tall are you??
Just under 5'8" 👍
@@TripSmith nice! Thanks
