Below Freezing? No Problem! Here's How This Slide-In Truck Camper Handles The Winter Weather! 

Man we love this truck!!!!!

I love reading the comments from the these people who have no idea. This is a wilderness setup, strong frame, minimal creature comforts, lightweight, and you will get into places that no tall hard side camper, trailer or 5th wheel will ever go; thank god. It’s not a party house, it’s a camper to live out of not in. I agree, they are pricey for what visible value there is but the true value is intrinsic in that it will give you the freedom that a normal RV will not. Have you ever pulled into a campsite that you though was serene and quiet only to be invaded by party people in huge 5th wheels and trailers blasting their music and screaming. With this camper you can escape all that to quiet, peace, nature, and some great fishing spots. And by the way, there is a year waiting list for one as we speak. I wonder why. And good luck finding a used one for sale.

Congrats to Marlon on his new Chevy. He writes, "It was because of you guys that me and my wife decided to get a 2021 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 Trail Boss (with the 6.2L of course). I get the fact that there are other trucks out there with more technology, and considered more luxurious, but for me and my family this truck ticked enough boxes to fit perfect in our driveway. Thank you once again fellas, and keep the great content coming." You are most welcome, that's one badass midnight black Silverado.

Went straight to the comments and not disappointed. 🤣

People will always balk at the price. Some people see value in this, some don't. This truck / camper combo is awesome.

When you figure out how to “polish out” a dent let us all know!😄

$70,000 truck and $30,000 camper...to have to still go pee in the woods, and shower with the neighbors. Maybe I have my priorities off, but that seems excessive to not have these basic amenities. I can get a $90,000 cabin in the mountains and a $10,000 Mitsubishi Mirage and still have $95,000 equity 2 years later. Oh, and a place to poop that I don’t fear a scorpion stinging my giblets.

This truck build just gets better and better!

You showed nothing on how warm it stays or spending anytime in cold weather. You talked truck features. Go spend a week in minus 10 and let me know how the hot water and furnace work. How were the condensation issues? Use it and report back.

For $31,000 I could just get a whole entire 5th wheel lol

For that price you might as well get a lifted 4x4 E-150 van with a bed, stove, fridge, and toilet in the back.

31 grand for no toilet. Too much.

I got excited, I thought you were going to be snow camping.. BOO

Great job Andre

The WRT is such a great challenge for TCs especially hardsides!

Cost as much as my 30ft toy hauler. That’s crazy. Looks nice.

Nice! But I have to admit that the cost shocks me.

Love winter camping trips 😍

russians with their tea and honey i married one and that is a must have in the house

Growing up we started out with Skamper pop up truck campers. The last one we had was either a 10'or12' with a bathroom & shower,air,heat,a very nice truck camper. I didn't want my Dad to trade it but he did for a Skamper pull trailer pop up,it was nice but having a ski boat it wasn't a good idea,then it was another vehicle to pull the boat a real pain in my ass if my parents weren't going for the weekend or wen going to TN for the weekend or week.My Dad would not admit it until several years later that the best camper was the decked out truck Skamper and said he wished he had kept it to this day. I told him then & now,that was a move I never understood

Different people have different application concerns- this seems a good choice,if u need to get a canoe on and off the roof. !

That's where small generator comes in handy with Xtra gas . Running on low hooked to shore power charge batteries and run a electric heater or whatever.

I really like my '17 Hawk, so much better than a RTT. Many things you kinda scratch your head at that FWC doesn't do a better/different job on, but the overall units do seem to hold up well with off-road use, other than branches and the thin siding.

I'm glad you are happy with it but I'll stick with a traditional camper shell. I don't think camping and extreme off roading really go together. Too many compromises to both activities. But it's nice to know there is something available for the folks that want to try this. I'd keep an eye on the used marketplace. Some big discounts buying used.

Comfortable camping is a rich man's hobby

are these reviews or advertisements? how much is TFL compensated for these from 4 wheel camper?

Whatever the content is, there is always a great music to accompany ...

I really like this truck. I’d like to see an actual winter overnight trip episode. The price made me gasp though lol. I have zero experience with these but it seems like it’s option list if fighting with the likes of Ferrari for most expensive relative to starting price lol

I was not expecting a 30k price tag

Love You TFL

Ive slept in a pop-up camper. I did a three day ice fishing tournament in one. The furnace has to be cranking on high the entire time just so you don't freeze to death. The side walls get soaked with condensation... They're miserable.

31k? Oh man

in Canada its already getting dark gloomy days

Now that's a sweet rig! You could sleep overnight when the Defender breaks down 🤣

I love the hawk! Just couldn't afford one lol. A 10k Tennessee truck campers fits budgets better.

I love TFL, but wasn’t a fan of the constant/only close ups in this video. Was hard to really get a big picture of the campers layout. When all there were was closeups of every part. Would have been nice if we got more wide shots (even though it’s close quarters) to see what the camper actually looks like. It was hard to tell where anything was, with one shot to the next with not context/visual of what area of the camper we were looking at. Just my thoughts. I always enjoy watching, non the less!

That outro was classic Andre!

That has me convinced now to get a Toyota Tundra 4x4. Not too easy on the trails I see. Otherwise, I do like the Ford F250. And get is scratched for some character and memories.

I feel like most people are unaware of this, but I personally prefer to run my solar panels at 24v (2x 12v panels), then the charge controller bumps it down to 12v. You only harvest half of the watt energy, but this setup will ensure the solar panels work in even the most cloudy of weather (even snow). A person could even have parallel and series adaptors and swap them out on the fly, depending on the weather. My solar setup works 100%, even in weather like this.

Two thumbs up for the Justin Wilson t-shirt!

A "proper campground" doesn't have shore power. It also doesn't have neighbors, unless they are wild animals.

A little late in the season now, but it would have been nice to get some videos of you guys using the tents and the camper.

Nice commercial, hope you were paid well. Seen the Project M?

Great setup- thanks for the review

The only reason I subscribed to your channel is I noticed you use a Broncos cup am a huge Broncos fan

This is why people buy retired ambulances and make them into campers It’s almost every time cheaper and you can have a bed, kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower, ooh and a couch

I think down deep Andre wants this rig.

Dp Come to Fort Mac and survive -40 for a few months in a camper

I don't know about polish... But duplicolor touch up paints are awesome

Awesome Andre:)

Great stuff!

Wish we had the trucks over here in the uk , and the cold weather to go with it , love the informative content

Just seems a bit expensive for what you get. I love these but am not willing to pay what they ask. It’s a box on your truck. Would love to see what the cost to manufacture actually is...

Where's the part about the slide in camper handling the winter weather?

That’s a really cool camper, it just seems a little expensive for what you get. For $31,000 you can get a regular truck camper with air-conditioning a black and gray and freshwater tanks a wet shower etc. etc. etc. I would think the real advantage is in gas savings because of the low profile

So what happens if it snows overnight while the top is extended up? Will the weight of the snow slowly push the struts down or is there a lock out bar of some type?

True glamping: having an indoor place to shower and use the bathroom in a heated space

More videos on how well the camper functions for over landing and 4 wheeling

An super cab long box would be my choice

Thanks !

Привет! Я один раз давно аспирантка по русской литературе! Мне жал-плохой грамматик. I will spare you any more, don’t even remember the right stuff!! I’m planning on putting together a lightweight version of what youve got. Maybe you’d have a little advice for me. I’m getting a F150 lightning. I’m one of those who wants my own amenities. I want a composting toilet, I already use one, I don’t want a black water tank. I plan to go electric. I live in a tiny house using an induction burner, so thats what I will use, a flash electric water heater, electric heating (if needed-with two big dogs I pretty much don’t even need it), and I think all that will save weight and complexity. I’m kind of looking for a shell to finish. Advice?

Could you guys do a cheap fullsize overland video?

How difficult is it to access the low point drains to drain the water to winterize your camper in between your winter camping trips? Also, it would be interesting to see after spending a weekend in there during the winter how bad the condensation gets on the inside.

$31k for that? I'll definitely pass. Thanks for showing it though.

Thats the camper i want ...

1:20 you guys are brave

Thats sweet

You don't have to be rich to camp comfortable...I'm living proof of that...but comfy is good...

Awesome 😍🔥

Since this is a truck camper vs a trailor u pull. U don't need 2 pay 4 more insurance, or xtra license plate, or tag fee?

7:10 crazy year 😅

Nice truck fords are good I've got 2 ford

How about some comments about living in the camper. Room to sit and sleep. Maybe 5 things you really like and 5 things you really don’t like. PS 5 things you wish you had.

I barely got a full comprehensive look at the interior. Couldn’t piece it together to see how it actually looks ...

pop up campers are for specific areas, they dont do well in dust, extreme heat, extreme cold and I live in 2 of those areas...I do like 4wheel been to the factory a couple of times decent product with limited useage areas..

So what happens when it snows 12" in the night? Will that top collapse on the sleeping couple ? Did I hear correctly that the table was nearly $1200

Andre, Is this camper exclusively low voltage power? Or does it have the ability to run off 120V when you are connected to shore power?

Who installed the camper/electrical, fourwheel or a specific company. Really thinking of installing this on my 2012 f150. Great videos!!!

Good morning, I would like to ask you for information, how much is the height in cm from street level to the roof, naturally with the roof closed Thank you.

Can ya Upgrade the Chevy

nice camper!!

Making a hot drink out of the water from your water heater is the worst idea ever.

How does the insulated cover for the soft top keep out heat in the summer?

You should install a heat detector instead of a smoke detector in the camper that way you won't have to remove it everytime you need to cook something

My 2021 palomino was $17,000 out the door with everything power roof lift by 4 powered jacks to include shower toilet wet bath and to be honest I thought I was being ripped off ..... I'm not.

That looks comfy and all but thats WAYY to big for my cup of tea

I thought you would take it out in the cold and test it. Odd

Morning Andre. We need you today of all days 😍 I thought this truck was on the way out! You selling the camper with the truck?

People are shocked about the fully tricked out off-road teardrops for 30k but everybody seems good with this for the same price. I’d rather have a light small teardrop and pull it with my 4Runner.

GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!

Would a half ton truck handle a camper like this? Or is it that much more worthwhile to go ¾ ton?

When they sold the truck what happened to the camper

So the one time you made minimum effort to actually camp with this 30k camper the topper wouldn't pop because of snowflakes?

Where do you sleep in that thing

30k, too much $$$

Seems cramped and cold. How often do you use it in the winter

I really like the camper. I have a question. Does the DOT, out west, require hazmat placards on a vehicle? (I realize you have a minute amount on board.)

Me laughs in Earthroamer.

Oh come on guys ..have to be guided down road!!!...

hows the wind noise inside during a proper snow windstorm?
