- In a previous video I point out things about my truck camper I didn't like. Now I'm fixing them by rebuilding part of my set up.

I build sterling silver jewelry. I have hammers, little anvils, and other sorts of things I bang on while tinkering with a bit of silver or sometimes gold. Only the little torches make it to festivals and markets - it's a rule of my insurance folks. I use stamps I use from time to time, but they seem to get lost so easily. I have many pairs of pliers, but all are used regularly, and for those I use most I have a favorite brand. Those have the tips sanded to suit my purposes for that pair. Most recently I've started offering permanent jewelry. That's done with a very small TIG welder - lots of fun! Oh so many more things to list, but come see me at a festival and I'm happy to talk about it more.
Nice improvements.
More space. Very nice.
Very nice build. This looks along the lines of what ide like to do. Simple, but nice. Nothing too crazy or fancy that actually ends up making things more cramped and harder for yourself instead of actually improving you're everyday living quality.
Too late for my build, but one thing I'd change is to put the power center within reach of the back of the truck. Many times I'm standing at the back and need to go inside just to turn something on. Much better to be able to do it from the back rather than the front. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the build.
Thanks for watching.

Looking good, very functional
Thanks. One of the key features of this build that I don't think most people talk about is the width of the isle-way between the bunk and the counter/shelf. Gotta make sure you have enough room to get down on your knees and be able to turn around without getting you lower legs stuck. It's a real thing... Try turning around with the space is just barely wide enough and get jammed up. No fun at all. This build corrects that. I spend at least a couple of nights a month on the road so sleep in my truck, and during the fall I spent an entire month living in it. This build works.
Thanks for watching.

@@designsbykent I agree, especially when trying to use Pee bottle😁.
Wish my cap was carpeted so I could use those velcro bungee nets.
I think I'd recommend putting carpet in any that don't have it, or at least doing so if you plan to use it for camping. The bungee nets are nice, but more the carpet is supposed to help with condensation. That's something I don't really have trouble with even when I'm all closed up inside. I also suspect it helps with insulation and sound suppression. I recommend adding it if you can.
