Great to see you two working together on this camper. Everything you have done to this camper was first class. No shortcuts. Do it right the first time approach. Well done!!
We love our Froli Sleep System that came standard in our NuCamp T@B 400. I honestly didn't see what the big deal about it was until we slept on it. What a difference it makes!
@Travels with Delaney we haven't slept on it yet but will for the first time this weekend. We'll also be using our Northern Lite for the first time. Let's pray all goes well :-) See you soon!
Hi we saw your video on the Froli system. We order it and installed it , what a great nite sleep we got . Also customer service at Froli was awesome .Thank you so much . Barb and Ed Nelson
@Barbara Nelson I'm so glad that this video has helped someone. That's what we like to hear. It's also great to hear that their customer service was good to you. These systems aren't cheap but if you can afford them, we agree that they can make all the difference. Thanks for watching and safe travels! 😁
Dean May I'm sorry that we didn't get to chat more but it was nice to see you guys as always. If we don't see you before, hopefully we will see you in January or in May 👍 Good luck with your renovations.
Cute and informative video, guys! The Froli Sleep System is definitely on the wish list - you sure made it look comfy! Here's to many, many great nights of good sleep! Safe and happy travels you two ~💜
The mattress and Froli system look really interesting. You two have been working really hard on the improvements to your new camper. It's time for you to get out and enjoy yourselves some. Time is getting tight for good camping weather. We're going on what will probably be the last one for us up here for the year. We have to get ready for the long New England winter. Get out, have fun and enjoy. Kim and Vinny in CT
We have the froli system in our TAB 400 and like it. If you guys need a stop off around South Boston, VA let me know. I have a full hook up site at my house. Its been fun watching the progress of this Northern Lite.
Condensation is a result of warm humid air contacting a cool or cold surface. Since the cab over has only a certain "R" value, wouldn't it be better to just add a vapor barrier insulating foam sheet under the mattress? Say, a 1.5" foam sheet with a 7 "R" value. Less cost, less height increase, no screwing down, and it addresses the problem head-on?
It was nice to meet you today, thanks for mentioning the Falling For Fiberglass Rally we enjoyed it! Met some nice folks and got to see two different versions of Casita. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! John, Kelly & Dusty Milligan Knoxville, TN @ifyouhaveanegg
It was so nice to meet you too!! Thank you for stopping by and saying hello and thanks for coming to the rally. I hope you got to see some cool egg campers 👍😁
Same thing happens on our boat. Providing air flow helps. I installed a solar vent fan in the head and we leave the door open while we sleep. That exhaust fan along with cracking a window/hatch provides air movement.
@lizdc1 we are looking forward to using it. Not only does it seem to be comfortable, hopefully it will alleviate any moisture issues that might be prone to a truck camper. Thanks for watching!
Diesel heater will not make water and even blow it out the exhaust pipe. I use my diesel heat just in case I run out of propane and I ran a fuel line from 60 gal fuel tank from my Dodge 5.9 diesel and it works great. I met a old guy that ran heater hoses from his motor back to his truck camper to keep it warm in cold weather with quick connects and when dropping the caper unhook the lines and hook them back to gather . He ran the coolant threw a trans mission cooler with fan and it did a great job and only if you winter camp or go out west to Elk hunt and that’s where we ran in to him at Jackson Hole Wy .
I didn't know about this product. Going to have to look into that if and when I do get my truck camper someday. The new Northern Lights have the ventilation and the cabinets in the side. To blow air underneath the mattress. I know at the beginning of the video you said you were thinking about doing something like that. I think that might be a good idea.
Thanks! That 15 off really helped. Just ordered the Queen for our 22fb Airstream. Hoping we can attach some of the elements (separately) to the top of the access hatch under the mattress so easy access is still possible to the trailer's front wiring harness, etc. below.
@outcast1 thank you! They do seem to be very well made, we're interested to see how they wear in time. We'll do a video later to check in about them. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. After several years, do you still use the Froli system? If not, what did you go to and why? What do you think of the mattress? We have a mid-level Temper-pedicure and are trying to figure out the mattress question for the TC. Always enjoy your videos and how well you two get along. Keep them coming!
Looking forward to see how your TC experience goes compared to you travel trailer...seems to me boon docking and convenience will go to the TC. You've done a lot of work to her so I hope it pays off for you.
All of them do that are on platforms . And especially if there is a window at the head of the bedBe sure to always check inside of those cabinets from time to time because moisture builds up in them especially since they are under windows .
@Freelander thanks for the advice, we definitely do check in our new one. We usually keep the cabinets open in between trips so that no moisture is trapped there. Thanks for watching!
I love it guys. You made me start laughing. We put a box mattress in our camper, had same experience. Look forward to seeing you guys. The bed system is pretty cool. Look at the system. Did you purchase 2 sets to cover the 60 by 80 space?
@Steve Miller, yes, it takes 2 sets of them to cover the queen size. They're kind of expensive but I really think it's going to save us from mildew and that is the goal :-)
If you're interested in getting one, call Elke at Nickle at 843-972-9500 and mention Roses15 for a 15% discount on one :-) We'll check back in on a later video to show how it is working for us so stay tuned.
Roses - did you sell your camper with the Froli system or transfer it to the new Northern Lite? I'm wondering how it is working out for y'all, assuming you still have it.
Hi Arthur Womach, We still have our 05 Northern Lite and are planning to move the Froli to our new camper. We really like the Froli and feel like it does a great job with ventilation and comfort. Thanks for watching!
@Travels and Travails: Enduring Adventure you need ventilation because of the way the mattress sits on the cabover area. It creates moisture. A system like the Froli helps to prevent any mildew from building up there because it allows air flow. Thank you for watching! ~Carla
If you do cut slots along the sides next to the Froli, could you put computer fans I the side boxes to pull air through the foot area? That could pull air through, as you travel. Just shut them of at night, if the noise is a problem or use the for white noise. Just a thought. BTW, where did you end up hiding that body? 😂
Lol, that mattress was very cumbersome for sure!! That type of fan is exactly what Todd was thinking about putting there. There is actually a pretty big gap on the sides between the mattress and the side so we are thinking that we may not need vents or fans but we will wait and see. Thank you for watching!!
@joseph ryan it has made the hard, firm mattress that we bought soooo much more comfortable. We will be moving it to our new camper and doing a 6 month review on it really soon.
@Harold Gatlin, the queen size kit sells for $398, which is actually 2 basic Bed in the Box kits ($199 ea.) 12 elements per row, 10 rows across. Sometimes the double kit ($319) with an additional 12 pack ($42) also fits. This would be 12 elements by 9 elements across.

@Eskil Neilson thank you, Todd is really good about doing things right the first time so they'll last. Thank you for watching! ~Carla
Holey Froli ,,,,😂. I laughed so hard watching you guys unwrapping that sausage 🌭 hahaha 😂
Keep up the good work,,, stay safe 👍

Thanks for the video. You both seem like very nice people. Cheers!
Thanks for the RV tip,can you show us how to remove the mattress from the box again. I didn't quite get that. LOL Happy camping.
@Roy Vannoy I'm not doing that again, it was a workout. Thanks for watching! Happy camping to you.

Have this in the T@b 400 and love it. Nice set up. I think you will be so glad you got this system.
@Liz Childers I agree with you. I think we're going to be very happy with it. Thank you for watching!
We have the froli system in our TAB 400 and like it. If you guys need a stop off around South Boston, VA let me know. I have a full hook up site at my house. Its been fun watching the progress of this Northern Lite.
@Don Collie thank you so much for the offer, we may take you up on that someday :-) Thank you so much for watching! ~Carla
Hey Don, are you on boondockers welcome?

Love that Fender tee shirt!
That was an easy task! Happy for you guys!

This is like unwrapping a sausage, hope I dont have to take it back. I'm still laughing, you guys are characters.
Steve, thank you and thanks for watching!
New subscriber here from BC, Canada and loving your videos!!
Awesome thanks for watching and subscribing!
Perfect!! 👌 sleep well 😃
You guys rock love your videos!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
@WithoutChase thank you. We appreciate the positive comments immensely :-) Thank you for watching!
Thanks! That 15 off really helped. Just ordered the Queen for our 22fb Airstream. Hoping we can attach some of the elements (separately) to the top of the access hatch under the mattress so easy access is still possible to the trailer's front wiring harness, etc. below.
We're glad the discount helped. Hope you love yours like we do ours. Thanks for watching!
Looks well made , by the way loved the clapper ending made me laugh.
@outcast1 thank you! They do seem to be very well made, we're interested to see how they wear in time. We'll do a video later to check in about them. Thanks for watching!
When installing this type of sleep system how many adult beverages are consumed. LOL
As usual very informative. 👊👍😎
Thanks @Bird Man!
Looks great! Great job. Thank yoy
Carol Madge thank you!

We so hope to get this system for our bed in our Lance, but it lifts up, so I hope we can put it in.
Love it, good job!
MommaFaye
Thanks for the test and your conclusion :-)
Looking forward to see how your TC experience goes compared to you travel trailer...seems to me boon docking and convenience will go to the TC. You've done a lot of work to her so I hope it pays off for you.
@K M we do plan to do a video of the comparison at some point so stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching!
awesomeness system nice mattress too ✌🚐🛵

Hi Arthur Womach, We still have our 05 Northern Lite and are planning to move the Froli to our new camper. We really like the Froli and feel like it does a great job with ventilation and comfort. Thanks for watching!
That was a brand new camper. What problems could you have with a brand new truck camper?
Nothing wrong with it, just different needs. Thanks for watching!
Why the Star statement? Not the travel one? Just curious
Star system not statement. LOL
Oh just a sec. Weight? Higher set up more vent room. Ah I see
9:54 Big up
Why do you need the ventilation?
@Travels and Travails: Enduring Adventure you need ventilation because of the way the mattress sits on the cabover area. It creates moisture. A system like the Froli helps to prevent any mildew from building up there because it allows air flow. Thank you for watching! ~Carla
Did you go back and add any of the red firming clips?
No we never added the red clips and we have used it in 8 different campers. Love the Froli. Thanks for watching!
If you do cut slots along the sides next to the Froli, could you put computer fans I the side boxes to pull air through the foot area? That could pull air through, as you travel. Just shut them of at night, if the noise is a problem or use the for white noise. Just a thought. BTW, where did you end up hiding that body? 😂

Runaway Roses Tell Todd, I said “Great minds.....” 😂
How comfortable has the froli system with that mattress ?
@joseph ryan it has made the hard, firm mattress that we bought soooo much more comfortable. We will be moving it to our new camper and doing a 6 month review on it really soon.
Do you think it could be removed and put into another trailer if you traded to another trailer or is it now permanent?
@Susan Elwell it definitely could be moved. In fact, if we ever get another truck camper, we'll move this to it. Thank you for watching! ~Carla
👍
Washer overload maybe?
cdlLady54 Marengo 😁 I thought so too but it I think it will keep it from slipping around under the mattress. -Carla
How do you make the bed?
Very carefully :-) No just kidding, it is a little work but I still think it's easier than our Casita. Thank you for watching! ~Carla
Do you put locks on your fast gun fasteners?
Yes we do. Thanks for watching!
What's the price tag on a queen bed system.
Hi Harold - They have different systems, but I believe the basic 'Star' Froli System runs about $200.
@Stacey Forrest thanks for helping out!
@Harold Gatlin, the queen size kit sells for $398, which is actually 2 basic Bed in the Box kits ($199 ea.) 12 elements per row, 10 rows across.
Sometimes the double kit ($319) with an additional 12 pack ($42) also fits. This would be 12 elements by 9 elements across.

very expensive ... I will go with the Ravenwolf Marine Den-Dry System for $129
