Looks like a good time. I'm saving up for a 2000 or so Dodge Dakota this summer I can put a shell on the back and go travel, fish and camp in with my dog. I live in Oregon but I would love to see a lot of other states. Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California, Washington, Alaska and even Canada. LOTS of traveling lol.
Super helpful plug on the mattress! I cut an old free mattress to fit my Colorado for a month long cross country camping trip. I love how you did the ledges on the sides too!
Ha this is exactly why I did this to my truck also me and the family love camping but usually only get about a 2 day stay at a site so dragging the camper out prepping it set up and take down of all the blocking for 2 days was getting excessive so this year I am going to transform my truck into a 3 day stay camper lol. Thanks for sharing with us btw!
Nice setup, thanks. I've dome something similar with my F150 and ARE shell. I like the windoors on mine to get access from the sides. I'm using plastic tubs underneath but your drawers look a lot better.
Great video. I'm thinking of getting a camper shell for my RAM with the 5'7" bed rather than a tonneau cover but I've been hesitant because I'm six feet tall and the bed is not. How tall are you and is it fairly comfortable to sleep diagonally in there?
Thanks! I’m 6’2 and also had the 5’7 bed. Sleeping solo was comfortable diagonally but ended up changing setups since we travel together. Sleeping two was rather crammed. Hope this helps!
That is pretty much the same set up I have. Where did you get the mattress? That is the only thing I was missing. I was in the same area as you. Try out Blue Lakes south of Breck.
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Kristopher Charles I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
A sleep bed waste lot of space unless for convinence of one night short time stay . If you need long stay for more days in future, you should make it two modes, one is transportation mode ,a compack mode, another is living mode. That means when you in long stay , you push most container out from truck to get more living space. A transportation mode transform into living mode by a slider. And you can get a long bed by design . A back door tent or cover can extend living space.
