Truck Cap Camper Build (Part 2) MASSIVE 7ft SLIDE-OUT! 

Brilliant job! One of the easiest, pull out kitchen, truck bed videos, to follow I've watched so far. I've now got a really good idea how to make my own. Thanks for posting

This thing is sick. I’m really want to do this when I get a truck, and this is great inspiration!

I think you did a great job, easy, simple, and usable.

FIRST of all THANK YOU!!! for sharing the how to step by step and don't do the speedy gonzales type of video like many idiots do in UTUBE when do not want to share knowledge...SECOND ...I learned so much from this video.. so I .thank you again!!!

Definitely want to do this in my blazer that I got last year… coincidentally, I’m Yarmouth Maine. Thanks for the great video.

Like the build. As an RV tech myself, I think of a few things that some people may not. Like the space between the bed sides and the frame rails. Some models of trucks have the perfect amount of room to mount a battery tray, box and then a deep cycle battery to run things. Then possibly stick a propane tank on the other side if you want. A class B conversion van that's factory built by an RV company can give lots of inspiration. If you use that in winter, a small tent stove that you can put the exhaust out the window for heat is an option. Also, if you're able to run dual batteries in the truck under the hood, get the tray and install a deep cycle battery instead and then use an RV trombette solenoid to isolate it. It will click on to charge the battery when the truck is running and then off when parked to keep from draining the starting battery. Plus they usually come with an "emergency start" button which will allow you to boost the truck using the deep cycle battery.

Wow just what I’ve been looking for, been watching different videos to get different ideas for in the bed of my 2001 Silverado Z 71. I like that set up, appreciate you sharing. I’ll be following for more ideas love that design that is awesome

Wouldn't change a thing. Awesome rig!!

thank you for great video keep up good work, I love camping fishing and do thing out door .

Awsome job looks great and functional

Awesome! Thank you for sharing

Really cool build! Thanks for sharing!

Looks great man. Makes me think I’d like to do something with my truck similar

Dude this thing looks strong as heck. I want to do a very similar build, but I am going to try to make the bed top hinged so I can access storage from within the cab. Great video man thank you.

Absolutely beautiful

Awesome build! Jealous of that drawer!!

ive got the decked system in my tundra and i love it but theres a bit of wasted space. youve utilized the wasted space and the customized compartments are nice. nice work

Great job I am thinking doing to my truck great video ty for the tips

Appreciate this video man! I have been brainstorming something similar to this and this video helped a lot

Nicely done ! Great job !

Great job! I like it all.

This is awesome and exactly what I’m looking to build .. Thank you 😊👍🏽🇦🇺

That turned out pretty sharp! 👍... nicely done!!

Sick man. I like it a lot.

Outstanding brother!!!

Awesome job 👏 👍 🙌

good job buddy coming out nice

I do the same thing. When it comes to trying to think ahead. We’re all human

Nice work, dude!!

Nice work!

Mainers getting things done

My house don’t even have that nice of flooring! 😂 sweet build man! I’m planning to going this route! Just got one of the big piece’s need for my build which is a sweet ARE camper shell! Hopefully will be uploading some vids on here soon!

Excellent!

Nice, just giving me an idea to do mine as well. Like that slot below the pillow for the 9 mil….

Nice job!!!!!

Great stuff

Nice build!!!!!!!

Wow that's cool man

this was awesome and inspiring

Smart man love the video

Keep it going

Wish I had a good skill like that way cool man

Great video. I think I still would have used the aluminum shelf toy built for the cooker and used the space you have for the cooker as more storage or even a pull out sink if that makes sense. It looks amazing man. Very nice build.

Great job!!!

Like it a lot wish I could something like that

Love your build, What about paint the inside tail gate with the same product you use on the top. Enjoy your toy.

Ps...great build! Nothing wrong with winging it a bit. Also, Kregs Pocket Hole Jig makes short work of all the joinery

Wicked build! Not sure if you've done this yet, but have you thought about adding bed side stiffeners to prevent your bed sides from flexing and cracking under the weight of your cap and gear on top?

nice !

Good build! B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

Nice

Super nice

Dang a 13 plus year old mattress, now that’s getting your money worth 👍🏾

Nice build. I need a wider bed as I am a wider person.

"Holy smokes Cathy!!"

Makes me wish I had a 6’ bed

That’s is a really narrow bed box hope you have weighted more decision on your sleeping comfort than storage on the remaining space

Maybe I'll build a drawer on my next one. I bet you replaced that mattress by now. I'm running 4 inches thick. Mine's about same height, but my knees and arms bump the window or the curtain on my window so I slid a cut piece of corrugated plastic down the side that comes up about 6 inches above the bedrail. Now I'm figuring out how to seal the gate so dust stops and cold air from the gate top corner. I use my bed more for drunk nights at friends then fishing so far...

After all these videos i figure by the time i get it built summer will be over so i like a few rubber made containers heater some water and a mattress .....equals more time doing what i really want to do which is having my line in the water.

I see around 6:50 the supervisors on hand!😂

Hello there, I enjoy your channel very much! Question: Do you build platform beds with drawers for fee? I'd be interested in having one made just like this one but removable as I'll use my truck for more than camping. I have a 2014 F-150 SuperCab with 78" truck bed.

Maybe build one more pull out drawer for the other side so you could put a bigger bed maybe

Just a thought, you could make a “top” over the pull out drawer that can provide a removable flat surface that could if you wanted double as a table.

For tour cutting board slide out, did you use 2 pieces of 3/4 " plywood ?

6:38 I see the foremen is doing her job. lol

How’s everything so far? Been following your built. Have you had any problems on your truck bed? I’ve seen few guy’s installed bed stiffeners to support the weight

At 16:45.......lol, my thoughts exactly!!!!!

Hello & great video ;) What thickness plywood are you using please !! & is there a lightweight plywood you can buy to save weight ? Thank you from Gary ;)

9mm? Pft! Put a 10mm in there so you can take care of bears, too.

The Alumasteel is so soft and scratches and dents so easily. I wouldn’t recommend cutting on it.

So. How much weight was the new floor, sliding drawer and bed ?

Great build! I would consider screwing a nylon cutting board instead of stainless surface.

How many inches wide is your bed platform (at its widest)? Thanks!

👍🇨🇱🗿 me gustó mucho. Saludos

Hi Really nice job. Where did you get those drawer slides ? Really nice design. I’m gonna try to do something similar

nice build. what did you do to prevent leaks between cap and truck bed

Great job, but why o why didnt you go with a stepped cap? be nice to be able to sit up at night : )

Did you have to add some sort of a gasket around your tailgate to keep everything from getting dusty on backroads?

Really really like this build. The thing that bugs me most about these slide out builds though is that I would add adjustable leg supports at the end just to help it not put so much pressure on everything. I know you got the big bad ass locking slides but being me I'd put some thing there. Never know when someone might lean on it and you hear a big crack.

Is the floor sheet 1/2 in ply?

It's really nice! Where does the GF sleep though?

How do I get this done to my truck??

On your base board did you mounted to the bed? Or its just laying on top of the bed and you just use the drawers weight to secure it?

The final piece slide out. Which brand do you use?

😤😠😡 Boom boom boom Slow down the intro.... I was taking extreme notes🥺 I mean extreme. I don't have the depth but this is awesome🥺 space and what I want to see. Pull out under rail and then (smack) slide underneath stainless steel table under the draw pull out🤯😱. Not thing on your level. Plus the storage space is close to what I wanna do but water bottles and and a pump water system is gonna be there for me just not sure how good the pump is yet. Oh the stove to burn as well. So that made me take more space in the rear of my truck. Wow🤯😱🤔🤨👍😫😁👏👏 good step up. May I copy?

Here’s a question? I want locking full extend drawer slides, couldn’t you use 4 slides, 2 next to each other to double the weight capacity?

What size plywood are you using for the drawers 1/2"?

How are those drawer slides holding out? Also, where are they made? Thanks for the content!

How's your gas mileage hauling this thing? Would you change the drawers to 1/2" ply or the flooring to something thinner? Really solid build but I'm thinking you could have saved a ton of weight, no?

That’s a Decked drawer system at 10% the price!

I've never heard them called sex screws.... If you want to look them up and find them they're called Chicago screws
