Truck Camper Tour / Arctic Fox / Tips Tricks and Modifications 

Somebody sponsor this guy! Great Content!

I think your rig is perfect and I enjoy all your videos.

Greetings from Algeria I watch your videos with my family 👪 thank you for the good content 😊

Great walk around of the camper😁

Very nice, gotta love those steps though !👍

I love these, always something I’ve missed. This time I’m stealing your drip rail trim idea. Thanks again!!

Thanks for the tour and another one of your "jam-packed-full-of-good-ideas" video. I am going to watch this gem again to get all the little details of the tips you have put in your rig. I also now understand why you are likely just "a little" over the GVWR of your truck as you hinted in an earlier video! :) Great Job !!

Hi Kenny, We really enjoyed the tour of your camper. We feel like we walked down memory lane with you as we have seen all those awesome videos. Fred and I really like how you have updated your camper and made it your own. You certainly have made it a very comfortable home away from home. Have a wonderful week. Mary 💕 Fred. PS hoping Jackery sends you a test model, now that would be awesome.

When cutting glass, you score what you want straight and not chipped. So you always score the glass side, good choice in the video!

Just found your channel and found your content informative, fun and refreshing! Thinking of buying a truck camper in the next year and this channel gave me so much information! Thank You!

W❤️W! That’s Awesome! Cheers for more exciting and incredible adventures!🥂❤️✨

I simply just love your set up.

Man you have so much room and stuff in there! Really nice 👍🏽

Great video Kenny! You’ve given me several ideas. Love the added gutter strips, I’m stealing that one and the additional usb and 12v power ports, yep going to do those also. Thanks for all your hard work and time putting these videos out!

Nice walk around and some great mods. Happy travels!

So many great upgrades to the camper. Thanks for the tour.

You have truly made the camper your own Kenny with all the upgrades. So many great ideas. Thanks for sharing Kenny!

Great improvement on your camper I have been doing alot on my camper too always enjoy your videos

Love the videos. Thank you for taking the time to show the updates to your rig. I'd like to add the drip edge to ours. Do you have a link or info on the drip edge you used? Since yours has been on for several years it would be great to get the same kind.

this is fantastic -

Geez I envy your handiness. 🍻🍻

Really do love the new stairs, that table on the back to is so nice looks very handy. Love the microwave to keep critters out. That was a hoot, angry wasps, very happy that wasps are not that big lol. Your videos are Always Fun and Lots of Information... Can't believe how much Snow you have... Cheers

Nice upgrades, Kenny. I agree with you about the possibility of solar upgrades. They’re super nice but really expensive. Since we don’t full time in our truck camper I think we’ve got enough to work for our application. Have a great remainder of the week!

Thanks for sharing. I can see why you head out for the weekend. Enjoy !

awesome camper! lots of work put into it! saw your video where you got stuck close to your home earlier this morning…i’m a mom of two boys/young men…i had flashbacks. lol. one thing they could always do…find that one spot they shouldn’t have tried to drive through. lol. 😂😅❤

Hi Kenny :) nice video explaining all the upgrades. I love your USB installs..very handy. I do use solar in the campers. I went with portable panels (120w ea) and 2 different size lifePo4 batteries..of Bluetti..don't bother with Jackery because they don't last near long as Bluetti for the money. LifePo4 Batts recharge like 2500-3000 times vs Jackery lithium style only 500 or so. Unfortunately, they are more expensive but WORTH IT in long run and I love the portability of this system. I even use it in my home daily to save on electric bill. Save your overtime and don't bother with the cheap ones. Your vids are super fun-- I look forward to your next!

Thanks for the tour!

Very nice! We are still weekend warriors and any weeks Scotty gets for vacation throughout the year. A truck camper is still high on our list for full time adventures in a few years.

Love your portable cabin! Seems massive compared to my setup 😂

Glad to see a new walk through with new upgrades! Maybe a "Camping in a blizzard" video next week? hint hint. 🥶

Love the Arctic Fox, one day my husband and I will have to get one. Always wanted to travel the country that way,. Love your videos and the cooking segments too!

Kenny! Have been watching your videos for months since I discovered your channel! You inspired me to get an artic fox, just picked up a 2004 990 earlier this month. Still my have my old camper but will be selling soon, good old 01 Elk Horn 9T.. and a 1979 10ft Western Wilderness before that. In my Elkhorn and now in the Artic Fox (came without the generator) I installed an 8k diesel heater in the generator compartment. I have the duct coming inside by the door to vent 1 and it splits off and runs through the floor storage compartment to the 2nd vent on the other end ( 3" hole on each end of the compartment 😳) . Thinking about putting a plywood shelf on top of the tube running inside of the storage to put some storage above. I should make a video of it, haven't seen many instals for campers on youtube. Keep up the great videos! Always look forward to your uploads.

Nice work and great rig! Because you are so handy, you should try making your own power supply with a battery box and a lithium battery.

Nice video as usual. Curious why you said you might not go the "slide out" route if you were to go with another camper.

Cool setup..

Kenny, your videos are always so entertaining and full of great content. Your editing is next level and by far one of the best on RU-vid!. Looking forward to your next adventures, stay safe and maybe one day, see you down the road!

Kenny you know I love your vids and am happy you take the time to Make them, I love your rig and I almost bought one! what stopped me was the stairs on the back you use to get in and out so I went ahead and bought the 96 Tioga knowing how much I had to do to fix it up!(labor of Love ) Then you installed THE STEPS,,,LOL Now I'm just sick, My RV is my retirement wagon which is coming up soon. Just wish I'd have seen the stair replacement sooner Awesome ! Safe travels my friend!

That was a great tour. Always enjoy when you talk about the camper and the truck. Even when you add something such as an accessory or have a repair to make. Always cool to see what you're up to as most of us or maybe all who are into this know there's more to it than just heading out. One thing that makes camping fun is seeing all the different things people do and how they do it.

What a good video of all of your upgrades. I've forgotten how many that you have done. You've inspired me to do some upgrades on our 2020 AF 811. It is so much fun personalizing the camper for our needs. By the way, our camper came generator ready so we don't have the Onan in our. The previous owner gave us a Honda 2200i generator. It is so quiet!

Love The Arctic Fox Campers!

🎉Awesome video Kenny thanks for sharing all your upgrades again 🎉you’re awesome 🎉 man

Another splendid there Kenny! I think I’ve seen all your prior mod videos, but don’t recall your inverter/converter mod; so was nice to learn another new tidbit to put into my memory bank for the future. All you need now it to come up with some sort of mod to remind you of two things: Booster down Steps up 😊 Can’t wait to see what next weeks vid holds for us, is it next Tuesday yet? 😁 As always, stay safe out there….. P.S. Watch a recent vid of Mav ice fishing in MN a couple to three weeks ago. He didn’t catch anything…so you’re not alone 😝 😆 😂

Nice work, thanks for sharing!! All of your upgrades are well thought out!!! We have done many similar upgrades to our 811, with a couple minor differences. In most of our previous builds I installed a large inverter and transfer switch to power the entire unit, similar to what you have done. For the AF I chose a much smaller 1000w pure sine inverter and wired dedicated plugs to the bunk area under the TV and to the kitchen. I will be wiring one more to the rear of the camper as well. We found this setup to be more than enough for our 110 needs, and much easier on the power consumption. As far as Solar goes, it doesn't have to be expensive. You already have a good start to a system that would be more than ample for your needs. Keep an eye on CL, Marketplace etc, there is often good deals to be had on new or used panels. Depending on the size of your charge controller you can simply add an extra panel or two. If your existing panel uses 10AWG wire and MC4 connectors you can simply buy or build a couple Y connectors and extensions to add panels. An average 30amp PWM controller will generally handle around 400w, a 20a will handle around 250w. Of course each controller is different... I have used both PWM and MPPT controllers on systems 400w and under, and there isn't much difference in the amount of power that can be harvested from a small system, especially with the style of camping you do and location of the panels. Yes, this is a controversial subject, so others will probably disagree. We are currently running two panels with a total of 370w and a 30a PWM controller. During the summer we very seldom have to run the gen or plug in. Of course this is highly dependant on the amount of sun due to trees, clouds etc.. For the most part solar is hit or miss for the winter months for us in BC.. Like you, we use quiet generator in these times, instead of the noisy onboard Onan... As far as other upgrades go, one of my top exterior upgrades was a slide topper, as it keeps everything off the slide roof!!! I especially hated clearing snow and ice off of it! I really like that the slide roof is always dry when we pull it in during wet weather camping.

Awesome rig, thanks for the camper tour!

We enjoyed the video as always. Stay safe!

Just discovered your channel last week, my hubby and I really love it! Would love to do what you are doing. The upgrades make your camper look new, couldn't believe how old it is. Really loved the video where the Beavers were stalking you.

We're not full-timers either YET, but hope to be in 2 or 3 months! ;-) Do you ever want to go full-time? Cutting that piece out does make a big difference. The mods and upgrades never seem to be done! ;-) Love the bedroom storage! Love the mirror in the fridge idea! Nice tour and nice camper! 💙Terry and Terri

I like your mod to take away the part of the dinette. I want the 1140 dry bath with the 76” roll-over lounge. Then you can get in with the slide in easy.

Fantastic video thank you!!

Lithium batteries don’t do well in temps below freezing anyway, so good decision!

Good to live in there, avoid property taxes and the rest of the bills........great stuff

Two weeks not on the road. Sometimes you just need to recharge your personal batteries as well

Enjoyed again Kenny

i watch your videos now that i’m not always with you. yay! miss you and hanna:(

Thanks for your by the way how long u had the predator inventor does it run good for all your needs keep videos coming

Another great informative video! I was wondering about the inverter being so close to a water source though and that sink leaking? Look forward to seeing another video of yours Thank You!

Great look around Kenny. Those new sleds sound Crazy. I've had a Goal Zero 500x for a couple years and love it. I use it to power a 12v frig for extra food storage. We like dry camping and staying out, with less trips to town. Headed to Big Bend TX. right now and still couldn't shake the snow.

I enjoyed your walk around. I have a 2018 arctic fox 811. I have added more solar so now have about 570 watts and 2 Battleborn batteries.

Your videos are always D 💥 Mr K. Always gives me ideas and I remember when you just started the channel. You've definitely come a long way. Look for to videos of you exploring other parts of the US and here Canada in Future😉

Morning Kenny I hope u have a bless day and always pray for ur protection in the street pps becareful Gbu I love your channel I m new here lol be safe and Gbu 💜🤗👍🚚 😉😇 ☕🍲

Look into Bluetti power. I have the AC 200 Max. 6144 of unhooked power with my two B230 batteries added. I also have 600W of flex RichSolar portable panels. I added the Bodega 60Qt duel zone 12V fridge with two back up batteries for it as well. The whole works was under 6 Grand. You get the most bang for the buck with Bluetti.

Awesome sir

Man…I sure am getting a lot of roll over subs from your channel! So thanks for that buddy. Pretty crazy to see how YT finally threw u a bone and you’ve appeased the algorithmic gods! Also, I really need to pick your brain on that charging system you have from your alternator. It doesn’t look like a DC to DC charger and that’s pretty neat. Guess with AGM batteries, and a small bank at that, it’s not necessary to have one? I’m currently trying to figure out how to hook up a LIFEPO4 battleborn 270ah to mine and using a dc2dc charger, since it seems the most practical given my circumstances. But…man…still haven’t bit the bullet cause it’s so dang expensive.

Most excellent video, so much good and useful info! I've collected magnets for years from various places we've travelled, they add up fast. We hope to have our TC maybe by mid to late summer, many of the things you've done we'll keep in mind, they're so useful! We've already bought the rear view mirror camera based on your review, but haven't installed it yet and plan to add the Torklift steps right away. Do you have any kind of moisture barrier under your mattress? We're thinking of Froli, but will need to see what room we have. You've mentioned your mattress is very comfortable, is that the stock mattress, or did you replace it? Have you had any problems with moisture buildup, especially in winter? As always, enjoyed the video and we'll see ya next week!

Very nice

I am thinking about removing my refrigerator and putting in a 12-volt compressor. There is a direct replacement from norcold

Love the videos. I keep telling myself " Soon as I retire". I might have to just pull the trigger and get a camper for weekend camping. It will be a Northwood. Can you really shower in there? Looks cramped. Im 6'3" and 350#

I feel like solar may turn out to be a disappointment for your application. I have a 6 kwh (500 ah @ 12v) battery bank with 525 watts of solar and 720 watts (60 amp @ 12v) DC-DC charging capability. I rarely drain by battery past 50% without driving for two days. Then when I do drive most of my charging comes from the DC-DC charger. The solar has only payed off when I've been parked for multiple days with good sun. You park in some places where solar charing might not be ideal and in a weekend where you move campsites, it sounds like you have the alternator capacity to charge up your batteries. Just something to keep in mind that solar isn't also the solution and not to get caught up in solar package deals with things you don't need.

👍✌️

I missed last week

❤❤❤❤❤

The antenna that came with your Weboost system is just as you pointed out, not much good unless your device is right next to it. For this reason, I bought a Weboost wall-mounted antenna that covers the room within around 12 feet of it. I can now sit on the couch, dinette, or recliner and get a good signal.

I suppose one could mount it in the compartment but it is a pull start so it may be a knuckle buster!

Hey Kenny, where did you get the rain gutter things for the windows? LOVE the vids! Just got my first truck camper.!!

Kenny the camper needs washed lmao

Nice tour. Which mattress are you using for your bed? Is it full size or queen? Thank you.

Kenny just saw your video and your idea of the drip rail was a great idea. I did that as well and it works great. I also saw Down by the rivers comment about installing lithium battery system. Have him check out Explorist life -diy he has great videos for do-it-yourselfers.

Im curious about your truck on if you have a small lift on it and how it handles with the camper

How do you deal with condensation in the closets and under your matress? Thanks

Would like to chat more about campers off line if possible

Nice videos, speaking comes out only left speaker?

Can you share where you got the gutter trim?

Hey, are you using the factory mattress? Or has that been upgraded as well?

Would you ever consider going with a gas three-quarter ton or 1 ton truck instead of the diesel?

I wish I could afford a camper.
