Truck camper Q&A !! 

Thanks Taylor!....This Q&A was a lot of fun! Each of your videos are new and different. Whatever you decide, we are here for you. I’m sure you will take this opportunity that you have created and run with it! Thanks for sharing and including us in your pursuit to happiness. Which in return has inspired many of us... Win Win! Always looking forward for the next update!

I like how happy you are 😄 no drama 😜 you are an inspiration! Love your videos 🙂

thx for being so open with yore lifestyle helps a lot.

I love your honesty and openness to share the real facts about your RV life style. Subscribed today my friend. Enjoy and I think you are an inspiration to most of us as far as "living the dream". Safe travels..

My wife and I spent 2 months this winter on the Washington coast with 2 ten pound dogs and a 50 pound border collie in a small Northwood 850 Wolf Creek camper. It really went quite well.

Thx. so much Taylor for all that you share with us, you’re enjoyable to watch! Great Qn’A.

I am new to your channel Taylor. This explains my comment a full year later! I really appreciate your honesty and generosity. Your videos are a good balance between information and entertainment. The philosophical dimension is a nice bonus. We truly get the feeling you are genuine and you really enjoy your life. Let us know if you ever come out east (Montreal) for a coffee! Cheers

Taylor, you have inspired me to go out and live my dream as well. Thank you and GOD Bless you.

Taylor, great vids its so refreshing to see positivity in youtube!

Taylor you are such a straight forward honest guy. It is a pleasure to watch your videos. I hope to see you on the road sometime. I think it will start for me around the first part of March. My Truck Camper is being finished by the factory right now. Having a few extras put on like Solar. Can't wait. Stay well & happy.

Thanks for being open and transparent - all part of sharing the experience.

Your channel is amazing. Between you and Gone with the Wynn's I've learned A LOT about RVing

Great Q&A Taylor....thanks for sharing. Another great video. Always gets me back in the mood to get the RV out with the family. Just looking for a break in my schedule so the family and I can enjoy the travel trailer again.

I saw on an Arctic Fox dealer that on the slide out you can have it replaced with a "sofa" that has a long 2 post table in front of it. I really liked that.

Thank you for answering the questions and sharing your adventures. You seem like a really nice guy. Wishing you the best. Hugs and Safe Travels, MommaFaye

We just got our truck and camper, and really enjoy watching your vidz! We are learnin a lot from ya

You ought to monetize this channel! I don’t think it will hurt your viewership. People are just used to ads by now. You have enough subs to make a few extra bucks. Plus your channel will only keep growing with the type of content you’re putting out. Thanks for doing what ya do Taylor, and maybe we’ll see you out there when we get our truck camper!

Taylor, good info.! "Boy, you got it goin' on!" Can't wait 4 the "Boat Ride"!!!

Ahhhh. Always find myself smiling by the end of your videos. You have a strong and calming vibe about you. The calm is strong with this one. Have you thought of Patreon? I'll just leave it for you to check out. I really like the look of the truck and camper separate. Glad you gave us a shot of that. Different perspective. I admire your honesty and baring so much of your personal life. 👍 I've never written or commented as the case may be, on any channel like I do yours. Glad you're open to the experience. I'm having a BLAST! "Canadian Wilderness Boondocking" Thats your campfire talk/seminar at RTR 2019. Keeps notes of free places especially. 😏 If you ever offer logo t-shirt sales, ouuu or even better-hoodies, consider me signed up first. Have a wonderful evening/day. Embracing more each day I can be living that Dream. Thanks Taylor!! 😀 🚐💨 (geez, no good rv emoji haha)

Thanx for this video.It's inspiring and uplifting..I tell you my expenses are way up more and I am stuck in this mortar and sticks abode.You give me a lot of idea everytime I watch your vids.I took an early retirement and I am planning for the next stage of my life. My advise to you,keep living the DREAM !

Great video, the Dually looks Amazing in the thumbnail, as I mentioned before the dually reg cabs are the best looking of all trucks, it’s the reg cabs that sell for top dollar (the older ones) due to the cool factor! Keep up the good work, once you monetize it will help with next winter travels.

Another awesome video! Excited to see instagram photos! I think that snapchat would be a great platform for updates and snippets of your travels. Also don’t be afraid to monetize your channel. You definitely deserve it, with the quality of your videos, and I know I would be fine with ads if it allowed you to travel more, and create even better videos! Keep up the good work!

Taylor.. GREAT JOB on this Q&A..you kept in moving at the perfect pace. You got through more questions and gave more great information in a reasonable period of time than anyone in this RU-vid sphere that I have seen. It is great that you watched Gone With the Wynns..they are about the best video producers out there. Notice they do not do any music open..they just get to it...which is great. Their shooting and editing is great, but most importantly their storytelling is great..and so is yours. I am an 8 time Emmy award winning journalist with my own production company, and I really love your energy, honesty, and real storytelling ability. Don't get a cat..and for god sakes not a rabbit. Rabbits are great, but require lots of care to be taken care of right. Most people have no clue how much work it takes to give a rabbit the right food, and care...Leaving a pet in that camper for 14 hours a day while you are working would really suck for the animal..you are too nice to do that. Plus the hot girl in your future might not like the pet..don't do it. You are great..keep up the great work my friend!

On the social media front, I'm partial to Facebook. Can do pictures, seems easier to communicate, and there's facebook live video. That's my vote. Also, thank you for being so open, and sharing the details of your experience.

I love how he puts his THIS IS MY HAPPY PLACE sign back on the wall, barely looking, and it's as level as it could be if he measured it with a ruler. Nailed it! (The magic of video editing?)

Time to monetize! Patreon. You've earned it! I'm hooked and look forward to you videos.

🇬🇧Thanks for sharing your life story, it’s very interesting. If I was 20 something years younger I would snatch you up Taylor, lol 😂 you’re 😎 awesome. Safe and happy travels! 😘

Great Q&A, love the video's. We had a truck camper when I was 16, then I got a class A and then a 5th wheel. I liked the 5th wheel the best. Being a truck driver I have no problem pulling or backing it into a spot, lol 4 1/2 million miles 26 + years.

Now I understand why you stay on Vancouver Island over the rainy dreary winter - unemployment insurance. On the subject of electric blankets, they make heated mattress pads that are designed to be slept on, not under. A better option than sleeping on top of an electric blanket. Bill, Lance 825, Ford F250 diesel. Living my dream.

I love your long term goals with the boat idea! Facebook is easy. Snap chat would be fun too. Do both? My question is about the weather. It always seems fairly nice in the winter, does it ever freeze? I thought Canada was cold in the winter... I could deal with the rain over this 6 degree f temps here in Minnesota! Love the channel! Jon

Just discovered your videos and I am loving them. I travel for work and am gone at least 8 months a year. I HATE paying rent for my apt when I'm never there. So now I've decided this lifestyle would work GREAT from me! Your set-up seems perfect for me except for one thing. I want to bring my motorcycle along with me so that I can ride when I get the chance. I know you can also tow with this set-up but I'm wondering how much this would limit where you boondocked. Thanks for the videos and all the info!

I work for CP Rail for the crews since i was 19 and im 33 now, and stumbleing across how awesome truck campers are makes the experiance 10x more awesome, Paid to travel, work, and live in a RV, i did a apartment but i barely saw it, So an RV works :)

Good stuff man. I’m really shocked $3500 a month though, would never of guessed that much for your set up. Keep up the good work buddy awesome as always!

Love your videos! You are so real

So cool. I was a tour bus driver for 15 years out of manitoba. I've been everywhere man! Lol I met my lovely wife doing it too! 22 years ago.

Love your plans for the future

Please come to NC!!!!!.Love your videos.You are a scream.Be safe my friend.

Thank you for another great TC vid. My husband & I own a DBL slider, have used it a few times locally, traveled to TN.and stayed in a relatives yard about 3 wks,, on the road is where we want to be.. traveling the US , Likely Nova Scotia this summer to see a friend.can't wait. Husband is retired, I drive school bus and need health ins., so it will be a while yet. Where do you drive tours ? We were in Alaska as tourist and the bus tour folks were the best!

I think what you are doing is awesome, I have the truck just deciding on the truck camper Please please keep up the videos

" That's how I self taught myself" had me laughing. You sounded like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.

Hey Taylor... sooo much to say: Judging by the way you’re addressing finances, seems that many have wondered if what you’re doing is wise and/or responsible, ie: your mom, others close to you etc., and what I would say to that is this: As a parent of two step children, (millennials of this age group), so many of today’s youth lack motivation, drive, inspiration and are completely lost, smoke dope, party their lives away and freeload off parents and others, that what this young man has chosen for himself, his confidence in himself, will be his rock solid foundation for success in whatever path he chooses going forward. (Just love the viewer that commented in Yoda speak!🤣🤣🤣) Thanks for being so open as to costs. If one does the math, you’re still talking about 40k/year which is substantial, and I think will cause many to ponder practical feasibility of replicating this lifestyle. Also, if you’re pulling in 40k/yr part-timing, then we’re gonna start thinking about what we could own if we worked full time; the house, the car, the toys, the property tax, the bills, the indebtedness, etc; note the obvious stated exchange of trade-offs😆 I think many of us live vicariously through your channel but lack the conviction and resolve in committing to something like this; a fear of the unknown and a trade-off in creature comforts. Your plans for the future are truly amazing should you see it through. I probably speak for many of us in confirming how we will follow your life on into this seaward endeavor with (in the style of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror) antici.... pation 😂 As to monetization; seems many of us would happily sit through ads to ensure your success. Don’t feel for a moment you’re selling out, as one viewer put it, “you’ve eared it”! You are developing content that we all enjoy. As to a go-fund style campaign, I’d advise against it; it has an air of free-loading to it and would work against your “branding”, and let’s face it, you’re gonna have to recognize that you’re developing a brand. Create a logo my friend and I’ll be the second guy out there to buy one of your shirts! My apologies over being long winded, but as a parent of an amazing daughter and perpetual inner artist, I have a deep admiration for what you are doing. Keep on keepin’ on my friend; follow your conviction and let no one detract from it💪🏽

Good video buddy , I'm sure you inspired a few people for sure!

Just keep doing RU-vid and Instagram would be the best addition. Plus, thanks for answering my question.

Taylor, I love your videos. I am a 67 year old female and I bought my brother's 1998 Lance 900 and a new 2017 Dodge Ram. I love traveling in my rig. This summer I will be in Montana.

Instagram and Facebook for sure. Also set up a Patreon account so people "fans" can support you in small ways. I love your videos. I've decided next year I am doing a camper, and you are the only youtuber I have found that lives in a truck camper. So thanks for all the information!

Funny I had the same plan to live abroad a sailboat ⛵️ but I bought a rv to learn more about maintaining/repairing things and seeing what works

such a interesting person you r,your life,your experience. I love it.

You should include road footage on your highway travels. it is relaxing to watch

Cool guy brotha! Love your videos! Huge fan!

Thanks for the explanation on your lifestyle change.

Love the Idea I can pull my boat in South Florida

For bed sheet, use thing called "bed sheet clip". This is life saver. It will hold your bedsheet in place. Its really cheap and google it you can buy it at walmart for less than 10 bucks.

Your a bloody legend I have the exact same outlook on life as you 👌

You have an interesting positive outlook on life. And it is to your credit that you know what you want and what you don't want out of life, the RV, the boat later, etc. Unfortunately, many people, if not most, don't really know what they want out of life, they just sort of drift along and don't want to expend the energy or risk to make their life what they want it to be. And then one day after having a home or two and a couple jobs, kids, they retire. And they don't have a clue how to really live because they never learned how to live when younger. Life sort of beats them up and they are just glad to be retired and maybe travel a little or move to a warmer climate or near the kids. Keep doing what you love so someday when you decide to retire you already know how to live. Many don't.

Another awesome video! I’d love to see snap chats! Stay safe

I live in Vegas let me know if you come over before then! Happy Camping!

Very cool Q&A,...Instagram is best!

Loved watching Gone with the Wynn's! Just think when you buy your boat next you can watch there boating video's ;). If it was just me I would buy a class b, some of them are so expensive tho!!! A lot of new brands on the market which will hopefully drop the prices. Everyone is going smaller. I like Hymer Activ because of the front dining, the price and quality. Will be looking at truck campers come spring cause we have the truck already, checked out the Wolf Creek at the RV show last week which is part of the Artic Fox lineup. love the craftsmanship :). Keep up the awesome work Taylor and stay dry.

Thanks for answering my question start a patron page I see a lot of you tubers doing it I think that would help.

About making your bed... start at the back corner(s) and pull toward you in front. Works for me! )

I'm doing it on $1000 a month in Las Vegas in my truck and travel trailer, so much fun!!

I just subscribed to your channel. Very entertaining and informative. I truck camp also and Boondock but not full time. Have you ever considered solar? I have it on my camper and I love it for Boondocking. I don't have to annoy people with my generator

Enjoy your contrarian lifestyle, plus the forethought to what's down the road in the next few years. stay safe !

Warranty's are crap. They never fix anything anyways. So you better start out with a decent RV because you are going to be making all the repairs.

Good job. You are willing to talk about things that other Van dwellers and Nomadics won't mention. The one thing that people like Bob Wells (cheap RV living) won't tell people is: what do you do if you outlive you current rig. They say that it will cost about $500 a month to live the nomadic life but, don't tell people that they need to save to replace their rig in X number of years. If you are looking to get into a sailboat then look on Yahoo Groups for a group called "origamiboats". It's all about steel boats built and designed by Brent Swain. There are several centred around Comox. He could pull together a deck and hull in about two weeks and then the owner finishes out the interior, rigging, and systems themselves. Now I think Brent has retired, but there are others on the island that still build these boats. It would get you on the water a lot cheaper and you would be safe from deadhead logs.

Thank you for answering my fridge question. For the warranty issues with your camper, did you have to return to the factory or the dealer you purchased the camper from? Thanks again. You're videos are very entertaining and full of good info.

Damn Taylor.you the man.just keep it going.

Great Video!

Excelente q&a!!! Im following you on Instagram!!

Thanks for being so honest

I definitely think Snapchat and Instagram would be a great addition to your channel

Hey Taylor, check out in Richmond, BC! Boat Yard on Shelter Island. They give away free boats! no joke!

You should monetize your videos...

Great 1st Q & A video....you're being honest. Heres a video editing question......do you try and edit your videos to a certain timeframe? ie; video time is anywhere between 12 and 14 minutes long.

I might comment as the vid is in progress...so forgive if I have multiple entries. As an electronics tech...I urge you not to use rice. Just open as much of the device as you can, let it dry, you can flush with isopropyl alcohol and use a fan or hair dryer without the heat to blow it dry. Alcohol mixes with the water and dissipates it quickly. Electronics getting wet doesn't hurt anything...unless the power is on.. On the drone there are gears and water can damage that section, you might need to open that section and flush it out then lubricate per the factory specs. Rice has miniature threads and bits that can get under and around electronic components and eventually gather more dust and debris to blanket components and cause them to overheat or just be difficult to clean. If you suspect an electronic device has water intrusion...keep it powered off, remove any power source and give it time to properly dry...days...with a fan on it...or flush it with compressed air for a while. BTW, is that a DJI phantom ? 3? Oh, almost forgot.. the rice and its tiny debris issues...can get into the camera bearings or between plates and cause issues...

I just found your channel and I enjoy your videos. You've mentioned the various jobs you've had. You also mentioned your costs for the vehicle. And you have given an outline of future plans with your life. What I haven't heard was anything about college or a trade school. Do you have any college completed and if not, have you ever considered going to college?

I'm not so sure a B type camper would be as ideal as what you have now, a go any where, 4 wheel drive, high stance rig with plenty of clearance for back country trails. Getting stuck on a beach would ground a B class. You also have the option of removing the camper and leaving it on site. I like the idea of a reg cab to reduce overall length to a minimum---cheaper on ferries, better turn radius for those tight U-turns and great when parking in cities. If major work or traffic accident should disable the truck for a while, you can still live in the camper.

Hey as one of your subscribers BEFORE you get too famous for us, I would like to camp with you at the RTR next year! I haven’t been yet but can’t wait to see what it’s like.I also have a truck camper and I’m not crazy! HAHA

Taylor hows the working out doing? keep moving forward even if you dont make you goal.

kinda following the Wynns. nothing wrong there, would love to do what theyre doing as well!!

finally, waiting for ur vid till 2AM lol

I just discovered your channel. You’re leaving the dream man! How do you get your mail while you’re traveling?

My vote is on instagram. As for short clips and stuff, instagram has that too, instagram stories (temporary showing - 24h only) or just upload a clip into the normal feed. Instagram is the way to go for simple interface and sharing great photos (and short clips too). You can reply to comments there also. And direct/private message is also available.

Another good one, no bloopers?, I was able to take my dog ( the talking one) lol, only when cooked with those shrums, lmao, with me every where, we lived in camps alot of the year,

You you need a 1 ton or 3500 truck to haul that camper or could a 3/4 or 2500 do the job?

Nice Q&A session Taylor! When I first started watching RV videos on youtube I also watched Gone with the Wynns, but stopped after they went to the boat. Boat living doesn't really interest me, so I hope you continue to do the RV thing for a long time my friend!

Don't forget about emergency fund. A must have.

Hey Taylor, I’m a total newbie when it comes to Truck Camping. so I’m sorry if my questions are maybe too easy for you to answer 😉 I’m wondering how do you get rid of black and grey water tank content when you’re not staying on campgrounds. I’m also asking myself how and where do you refill you fresh water tank. Thanks for your help. Btw i want to leave you a big thumbs up to your lifestyle, the decision you made “to do what your want to do” and of course on your channel. I sat the last hours in front of my tv together with my wife and we were dreaming about our future 😉 Take Care

Taylor. I have a couple questions. First, what do you do for entertainment? I haven’t seen a satellite dish on top, which I wouldn’t do either. Why pay all that. Do you do Netflix, amazon prime video or anything else? Second, why did you purchase a gas powered truck instead of diesel? It seems to me with the camper on it diesel would better mileage. Also will last longer in the long run.

Man i can say off the bat that yours and mine personality matches a lot. I find a lot of me in your life style for me you are kind of living the life i want to live at certain point of time. You do make all the choice i would have made if i would have been on your shoes. When you spoke of locking your self up and think of life u just struck a chord with me. I am from india and i can totaly relate to what you are saying sad thing is rv life is not that main stream here in india so its difficult for me to find an rv or even any information related to that but i so feel that i would love to do that at some point of time.

How does your truck handle going down steep hills with the camper? Is pretty bad on hills that are wet or snow covered. I'm leaning toward buying a dually and putting a heavy camper on it to do some boondocking during the winter, but I'm concerned about how it will handle snowy conditions.

I'm trying to decide between Class B and truck camper. The one advantage I can see for the truck camper is you can get into the off road and rough area much better than a class B. Thoughts?

So boat life after damn your a true adventurer I suggest maybe at least a tiny home on that land though

Wobble stoppers for your front jacks.

Time for a new Drone. Check out the release of DJI's Mavic AIR. Incredible! And it wouldn't take up near as much room as your old one.

i want to do work camping an learn how to get into u tubing! how much does all the video gear cost? an show us what gear u use! im looking a lance! or should i go artic fox? your thoughts

You should also look for support in things you do . Like the camper brand , maybe an outdoor brand , even gopro or Dji About having a pet . You should reconsider the cat choice . A winter dog like a aussie collier could be a great company plus an addition to your videos Most small/mid dogs will do great in a small space . The dog and will appreciate a hike on the woods together You have an amazing channel .

Instagram works! Keep up the videos!

to prevent theft of your rv you can install some gps trackers

Have you seen technomadia channel the boat they have is the best set up and they make that same layout all the way back to 88-2002 bayliner
