- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Come along with me as I test out my new truck camper bed build as well as try out my air conditioning setup with the Wave 2! Also, some kayaking after adding a roof rack to my camper shell, which is an awesome addition. I used a canopy to stay out of the rain and cooked over the coals with the dutch oven. This was a fun test run with all the new things I have added to make this summers camping trips a bit more enjoyable!

Be sure to drill some holes in the plywood under your mattress for air flow; don’t want any mold on your mattress. Been binging your videos lately, keep up the great work! Glad the algorithm brought me here.
Thank you!
Wow, fishing and kayaking, you're living the dream! Nice upgrades!
Such a great experience :) thanks! 👍
yes, A/C is so necessary in the South. Like the new set up.
I agree! Glad you like it 👍
Make 6' bedded mid and small sized Trucks great again !!!!
Very relaxing video.
Your setup is okay and will be better from trip to trip. All what you need, w/o unuseful things. Not to expensive, okay the powerstation and air conditioner maybe.
To put your kajak on and off the roof rack you should install a kajak roller or loadassist. It`s easy to handle.
Thank you and I'm glad you found it relaxing! I appreciate the kayak loading ideas as well!!
Dylan I just love your laid back attitude in all your videos. Really enjoy the content. thanks for taking us along on these camping adventures. Best of luck with the portable air conditioner this summer and that it keeps you cool, like you are. :)
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm very glad you enjoy the content. I'm hoping to stay cool this summer. We'll find out! :) 👍
Bro, love your ingenuity and the simple yet functional setup you have here. Definitely motivates me brother.
Thank you, and I'm glad you like it 👍I hope this pushes you to get your setup complete and get out there! Just have fun with it!!
This was a great share, Dylan. I love your improvements. Thanks for the trip in the kayak.
Thank you, Sharon! Glad you enjoyed :)
Dylan your truck setup looks really awesome. You did a great job on it. I really enjoyed your video it was relaxing to watch. Thanks for bringing us along with you. Take be safe buddy.
Thanks buddy! I'm glad you enjoyed it and you take care as well 👍
BTW, Dylan, Happy Memorial Day! I hope you and your family have a safe and fun holiday!
Happy Memorial Day to you as well! Stay safe and remember those who served for us!
Hello Dylan, I like the new setup! It keeps getting better and better. Having that a/c will help for sure. I can't wait to get my kayak out again. Glad the rain held off for you to cook, dinner looked delicious. You sure have a lot more green around ya than I do in my area. I enjoyed this and I will see you on the next adventure. Have a wonderful day my friend.
I'm glad you liked it, my friend! Kayaking is so fun and a great activity for camp, no doubt! Have a great day as well :)
You could cool your truck down better if you took the intake hose out of the door and just let it suck the air from inside your truck instead of from the outside....just a thought.
That is a nice A/C setup
Thanks, John! 👍
So soothing!! I really enjoy your video
So glad you enjoyed! :)
NICE SETUP
Thank you!
I like your rig man and that air is cool. I have built 2, a van and a truck and looking forward to my 3rd soon. Camping this way is fun !
Thank you! It's definitely fun 👍
Nice set up and bed. Perfect
Thank you!
Gday Dylan. Love that setup and clever idea with the inspection ports for the AC! New sub.
Thank you! I appreciate it 👍
That is one beautiful setup! I just bought a 2019 taco last week and I’m going to definitely be installing a softopper to camp out in soon!
Wish I could do a more elaborate setup like this, but being honest with myself, my truck is gonna spend way more time just being a pickup truck than being a camper lol. Maybe someday 😭
Great rig!
The Softopper definitely sounds like the best fit for you! I think you will enjoy it! Thanks for watching 👍
Hey Dylan, great to see you back! Looks like you got it going on with the truck setup. Good thing you've the a/c in there. You will need it for sure if you plan on doing any camping this summer! I don't know about where you're at but here in Texas it gets hotter than you know what lol ! Nice camping spot too. It looked like it might have been a little bit of a mosquito heaven there. Hopefully it wasn't. Enjoyed watching, looking forward to the next one! 👍
The AC will definitely help! The heat gets unbearable here in Kentucky as well, and the humidity can make it miserable at times, haha! Mosquitos are out in full force as well, unfortunately. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Absolutely love the new setup Dylan, great job!
Thank you!
Beautiful campsite, Dylan! You have been busy. I think you do love to have something to build or rig-up. Keep improving, Bud.
Thanks for coming along Ernest! I appreciate you!! 👍
Nice setup
Thanks! 👍
Nice setup Dylan! Everything is coming along nicely. 😊
Thank you Justin! :)
Looks like you had a great time . Enjoy my friend
It was great! Thank you!
great video and great kayaking and camping!! have a good day and week. god bless
Thank you so much!!
@@DylanDelong your welcome
@@DylanDelong I shared this video and tagged you on my community page!!
Awesome video man!!
Thank you!!
Really Nice Truck Setup Very well put together Thank you for a great video you always have the best soft drinks
Thank you very much!
Great setup. Neat, tidy and functional. On an unrelated note, your editing and visual storytelling are really good. You have one of the most satisfying camping channels I've come across. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! I'm trying to improve and learning with each video. I really appreciate it :)
Nice set up man 👍
Thank you! 👍
Nice A/C setup. I have the same camper shell and the same kayak! was just looking around at truck campers with a/c and found ya, TH-cam Search is getting scary
Thank you! That's awesome! 👍
Get in touch with Crazy Quady.. :)
That would be awesome 👍 :)
That burn technique is really cool - me I’d burn the whole board. The upgrades are really good, I’m hearing a really 🥵 summer again!! Take care.
I'm glad you liked the burnt wood look! It's definitely going to be a hot one for sure!! Take care as well 👍
Setup looks amazing
Thanks!! 👍
Wow. So much to love in this vid hon. What a gorgeous spot. Great upgrades to the truck, the bed looks awesome. Love the additions of the canopy & kayak adding to the layers of great content.
I may not have mentioned to you before that I live and travel in my van here in Australia . So I do understand how essential it is to keep a vehicle cool in high temps to be comfortable. I love watching you grow in every way on this journey. Keep them coming mate xx
Thanks for following the journey Leith! You're support is greatly appreciated. That's so cool that you travel in your van! Hope you have some safe and awesome trips in the future :)
Nice video nice bed with pull out drawer 😎👍
Thank you! 👍 :)
Awesome, as always, Dylan. I love that campsite. Right on the water, just awesome, and you can put your kayak in right from your site. It's just awesome.
I just love love love the new setup. The bed is amazing, right when you opened the door I noticed it before you even said anything about it, I was like "that bed rocks" it's totally awesome love how you burned it. You did an excellent job on it. It's just genius, the drawer, and the lift up lid for storage. Fantastic.
You can keep extra blankets never know when you may need them and you can put your heater in there electric and the buddy heater for the cold months, summer time put your fans in there or a hot plate or crock pot/slow cooker, you know all kinds of stuff, lol. I'm sure you already know what you're going to put in there, lol.
I was just giving a few suggestions just to remind you.
Let me just say the air conditioner is GENIUS! Now you're gonna be so comfortable, no more sweating your butt off. Maybe you can do more camping now, woo-hoo, maybe once a week. Oh yeah, that would be awesome awesome AWESOMENESS!
The drone footage was beautiful. That campground and the whole area is gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures and for all the hard work and time you put into these awesome videos. You're the man. Stay awesome.
KEEP ADVENTURING
GOD BLESS YOU
🤗HUGS🤗
Thank you very much for all the kind words and great ideas for storage! They are much appreciated!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the new additions and the AC. Hopefully more consistent content soon :) 👍👍
well done on the new set up !!!!!
Thank you!! 👍
I think that mattress needs to be thicker for the best comfort.
I agree! I'm going to add a quarter inch memory foam topper to see how that does 👍
Very nice, as always.
Thank you!
Dylan your editing has gotten so good! Glad to see your progress and make more videos. Keep up doin you!
Thank you! Trying to improve each video 👍
Hey like when you surprised all of us with your upgrades. Like what you did with the wood for the bed looks great & the over lap for the bed (Smart) & the draw.Everything in the video was great. Thanks for Sharing
I'm glad you liked all the upgrades, Cheryl! Thanks for coming along :) 👍
Wow Dylan, you have been busy! Truck setup looks fantastic man! Great job!
Thanks Gunnar! Really appreciate it!
Hey D! Another great video. Luv the upgrades. It's starting to look like a tiny home. 😉 Thanks for taking the time with the on point editing and taking us kayaking. You are such chill dude and it comes thru in your vids. You're one of my faves. Have a great week. 👍
Hey! Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the editing 👍You're very kind. Have a great week as well :)
Great video once again! Very peaceful and soothing thank you
Thanks you so much!!
I like that air conditioning. Smart idea. Does this mean more videos over the summer? Sweet!
Thank you! Absolutely!! 👍
Living in TN, I feel ya man on that air conditioner being a must in the setup. Went out for a trip cpl days ago and the humidity was miserable. Setup looks good man, like the burn effects on the bed frame. Stay safe and good adventures man. ✌
Definitely is very helpful with the AC! Thank you and stay safe as well :) 👍
You are a total legend Dylan!
Thanks!
Hello Dylan I really like your setup in the back of your truck very 😎 thanks for sharing beautiful truck have a great week here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Glad you liked it Mike! Thanks for coming along! 👍
Great video, Dylan. I really like what you've done with the truck. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the upgrades 👍
You’re getting spoiled buddy. Air conditioning, kayak, awesome truck. Lol. I’m just jealous !!!
I agree!! Very thankful to have these opportunities 👍:)
Nice video editing in this one. And what a beautiful area to camp in. I like your new set-up. That extra room is really nice. Next time, you need to catch a fish or two.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree, a fish or two would be great 👍
Glad I watched this video. Very relaxing. Love the set up and the a/c is amazing!
I'm glad you enjoyed watching and the new additions to the camper! 👍
Great new additions to the truck set-up especially the AC. I wish you would have picked cup that blue floating thing in the water. It's our job to keep these places clean. See you next time!!
Thanks very much! 👍
All is good, it was someone's fishing net they had connected to the pool noodle, they were checking it every few hours while I was there.
@@DylanDelong oh bud sorry I thought it was trash!!
@AmericaBound no problem! 👍
@@DylanDelong It's funny how we all interpret things differently that we see. When I saw the blue pool noodle, I thought you put it in the water so you could find your campsite when you paddled back. lol
Great upgrades Dylan, great spot . Might want to put some fine mesh over your intake and venting tubes to keep the bugs from clogging up the inside of your ac unit
Thanks, John! Great idea, I have considered doing that as well very soon. Thanks for the ideas 👍
Another great video keep them coming brother !
Love your new setup and AC that’s awesome 👍🏻👊🏻💯
Thanks! 👍 The AC was a game changer for sure!
You keep improving your set up. Good video.
Thank you! :)
Awesome video Dylan! Keep the content coming!
Thanks! I appreciate you guys :)
Great video, as always! Thanks Dylan.
Thanks very much Dan!
Very nice setup! I might have to try an A/C like that. It get so humid and unbearable in the summer around here. Thanks for the great idea!
Thank you! If you can, I'd definitely recommend it! The humidity is nearly unbearable and the A/C fixed that for sure 👍:)
Love this channel !
I'm in the process of looking at Tacoma's & you always give me a lot of ideas for it, going the camping route.
Glad you like it! That's awesome, I hope you have some awesome adventures in your future setup! :)
They’re having a gun and knife show at Jenny Wiley on June 14 and 15. They also have survival gear and classes. Thought you would like to know. Mike Franklin
Thanks, Mike!
Your awesome!
Thank you!
Nice setup I wonder how the ecoflow AC unit would work in my expedite van ? Right now I have a 5,000 BTU window AC unit mounted to the rear door works good on super hot days It doesn't look the best but hey it keeps me cool while I'm waiting in between loads I'm powering it with a 3500 watt predator generator
I would say it would work well in your van, especially using the generator to run it! But if you're happy with the window AC setup and it works well for you, definitely keep it 👍
I’d love to give you company sometime when you go camping.
May I ask why you didn’t put part of your canopy over the rear of your truck topper? That way in case of rain you don’t get wet when entering and exiting your truck bed.
‘
Also where did you find the bed topper with the full rear door?
We live in north central Washington state in the mountains.
When we ( my buddy and I) go camping, where we go, we don’t need an A/C, rather we generally need heat. And yes we’ve got that covered.
I’m happy that you have A/C for your camping.
Both of our trucks are 23 Tacoma TRD’s , double cab, 6’ beds.
My friend has an Alumi-cap for his truck. He also has a Dr Decker in the bed of his truck.
I haul our Queen mattress (that fits on top of his bed deck over the wheel wells).
I haul the sleeping bags, cooking utensils, plates, freeze dried food, snacks, etc. Lanterns, solar panels, generator, fishing gear, etc.
He hauls our backpacks, pillows, etc.
Our wives don’t like to rough it as much as we do, so it works out well for he and myself.
Our wives idea of “roughing it” is in a Holiday Inn.
He’s kind to me because he’s in his late 20s and I’m pushing 60, so he slows down for me.
He’s a great friend and though there’s over 30 years difference in age, our interests are the same.
I’ve got the years of experience and he shows me new easier ways of doing things.
Great new setup and some good carpentry. A.C. a cool idea! I've been wanting a kayak for a while, what brand did you get? It'll come in handy for you.
Thank you!! It's Lifetime brand got it from Walmart years ago but it works great!
Your intake or fresh air tube needs more separation from exhaust tube. You don't want to pull hot air back thru a/c . Self defeating the purpose. Good luck.
Worked great! Thanks 👍
Great Looking Set up. that campsite looks very cool. i just recently got a cheaper version of that portable AC and havnt got to try it yet. Couldnt you just have the one hot air outtake run outside by itself and the fresh air intake inside ? i been thinking about that with my truck .
Thank you! I have heard people running the AC that way but also heard it will work better, running both the hot air out and pulling the fresh air inside. I'm not sure, but I can say that it worked very well so far running it this way 👍
love the new additions! How was the bed?
Going to try adding a quarter inch memory foam topper to see if that helps for side sleeping 👍
Love the videos man! Do you fly your drone that slow or just slow the shot down in your editing? Cheers 🍻
I'm so glad you enjoy! Just flying the drone slow 👍Cheers ☕️
What Camara did you use for video? Or any suggestions on what to use for recording. Thanks
@@Rowen170 DJI Osmo Action 4! Prefer this over the GoPro 👍
Nice A/C unit.. How long is your kayak?
Thanks! 10ft Kayak 👍
Hey Dylan, I was just wondering if your truck is the 4cyl engine or the V6
Hey Adam, my truck has the V6. Thanks for watching 👍
Do you have an 8 foot bed?
@daltonkennedy5488 6 foot bed
@@DylanDelongwhat’s your honest opinion on the eco wave 2? I heard that the heat won’t really work below 40 degrees. But my main concern while camping is AC. I’m not too worried about heating the truck bed cause I’ll just go with a diesel heater.
In my opinion, the Wave 2 is worth it just for the AC alone! It cools the truck bed down nicely when set up properly. As for heat, I haven't used it enough in the winter yet. I prefer my buddy heater and a heavy sleeping bag.
I noticed that you had your intake outside… wanna try to have the intake inside so it can re-circulate the cold air instead of the outside warm air?
@daltonkennedy5488 I have thought about trying this, but so far, I haven't had any issue. It gets plenty cool inside with this method!
Wow. Your set up gets better each video. Good work! Look forward to the next adventure. Thanks for taking us along
Thanks very much! I appreciate you coming along :)
