- WELCOME! To the first episode of Truck Camping California, the first part of our 12 day journey through California, camping in our Go Fast Camper v2 on our Nissan Frontier and Exploring through Lake Tahoe, Sacramento, Wine Country and the Pacific Coast Highway! This first episode of the series is all about Lake Tahoe, this is the first time we’ve ever been here so we were stoked to check it out and we weren’t disappointed! The views of the water were amazing and the tall trees made us miss Home in Alaska.
The temps were cool in Lake Tahoe, they were unseasonable cold for this time of year (first night it was about 60 F and the second night it dipped into the 30s F).

Thanks so much for leaving the links to the places you visited! So many TH-camrs fail to do these subtle things that make a huge difference!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏽
HAHA "Downward doggin' it". What was the verdict on the bacon cheddar burger they recommended? Very cool light!! Wow! You weren't kidding on the 'scenic' comment. Beautiful!! And this is just Episode 1 - Yay!
We LOVED their bacon cheddar burger, definitely a good recommendation from Rallys! Thanks for watching!!
Good times
One of our favorite trips to date!
Wow. Lake Tahoe looks absolutely remarkable! Can’t wait for the next episode.
Such a great area, we didnt spend enough time there! Thanks for watching Stephen! Appreciate it
Wow that’s a solid new light! Going to look into it.
They have been a great addition to the setup, pretty much the only light I use at camp now lol Affiliate link here if you want to check it out: Readylight Gen2: alnk.to/7M9f5EN
Burgers looking good
Man those burgers from Ralleys were so good, 2 patties for $10 but so worth it lol
Beautiful and inspirational. America the Beautiful at it's best.
Definitely! The water and the trees out there are unreal, thanks for watching Bob!
I've been wanting to go up to Tahoe, get out of this Vegas heat a little bit. Aiming for September, hopefully after the busy season but before it gets too cold.
Nice! I think that would be a good time to go, we definitely plan on doing a seperate trip just to hit Tahoe again and stay a few days since the drive is long, trying to make it worth out time lol Thanks for watching man!
Thanks for the view, and l love the big trees
After living in the desert for 2 years, we loved hearing the wind through the trees. Thanks for watching Michael!
Stunning Lake Tahoe, we’ve been there but never tried camping, so will definitely try camping out next time. Thanks for this awesome video.
Such a great area! We loved camping among the tall trees :) if you guys do go camping out there make sure to book early it gets filled quick! Thanks for watching Ivy and Den! Cheers!
Love the camping spots! So nice between the trees and a lot of privacy.
Agreed! Such a good time, we will definitely be back! Thanks for watching!
Highkey watching your camping videos for the camping, and cooking ASMR. 😂 Awesome stuff!
Lol nice! That’s exactly what I love about other camping videos is the ASMR lol Thanks for watching Milaana!
Love the vids dude keep em coming! Own a 2016 frontier and am especially interested in seeing how you maximize the limited cab space
Thanks Rob! Love hearing from other Frontier owners! We definitely made the most of the cab and 5' bed space during this trip lol The GFC definitely helped make this trip more comfortable
Loving you guys adventure ☺️👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching Selene!
New sub. Liked 🙏👍😎
Glad you found the channel! Thanks for the sub!
Saw you put your food box in the bear can. How about the Dometic? Do you feel like that's safe inside your truck in bear country? I used to live in Mammoth Lakes and have had two separate cars get broken into by bears. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Dometic and wondering if it's smell proof!
Hey Jimmy! I felt pretty safe with it in the truck, especially since we were in a campground surrounded by other campers I didnt worry about it. I lived in Alaska all my life and we always kept our coolers (non Dometic) in our vehicles, I've heard of bears breaking into cars for food but between the Dometic's thick/insulated walls and then the walls of truck I don't think it puts off that much of a smell (I wouldnt call the Dometic Smell proof per say but Im not worried about it.) What I always keep in mind too is if a bear did come up to the truck, we'd just sound off the truck alarm (we always know where our keys are in the GFC) and that should scare them away pretty quick.
Hey great video. Have you had any problems with your locks on your sleeper? They changed them to spring pin..
Thanks! And I haven't had any issues with the locks on my camper. Do you have issues with yours not unlocking or locking properly?
@@Kadenventures I'm picking up the camper Memorial day week Sept 8. I see they change from locks to a pop out spring pin but I live in Long beach,Ca and worry about tweekers...
@@irishnomad9993 congrats on the install date! I’ve seen a few pics of the updated lock but honestly know nothing about them, do these spring pins no longer lock?
@@Kadenventures Ya they said they had to many locks not opening. So they decided to do the spring pin no lock though..
@@irishnomad9993 that’s lame but honestly I don’t really use my tent lock too often it’s pretty hidden most folks don’t really know how to open it and it’s pretty apparent if they did (the tent would just be up lol) just be sure to lock the side panels and the back panel and tailgate, I think if someone tried to do that they’d assume the tent may be locked as well
I need a link to that cool electric water spout you put on the 5 gallon bottle of water
Hey Zach! Here ya go: amzn.to/3Q3ciFc
This thing has been awesome, I've charged it once before this trip and its been working great! One touch on and one touch off, way easier than the blue water jug we normally use.
Hey Zach, one thing i forgot to mention with this 5 Gal water jug spout, make sure to buy one of these tops so the water spout has something stable to hold onto, I noticed when we had the spout on without this top it leaked on rough roads: amzn.to/3zS8IZt
What's your favorite thing to do when parked
We like to relax, drink beer lol hang out & chat, we have a football and a few games we bring with us to camp now days too (Uno, paddle ball, cards, nurf bad mitten lol). Small stuff that will easily pack down.
hey brother, can you kindly tell me what backseat dog hammock you have there?
Hey John! We bought this one a while back so i'm not sure if its still on Amazon but here is something similar (we wanted that front pouch for storage and the ability to zip/unzip the side seat which this one has amzn.to/3cUtcrn
