Jackery Explorer 1000 (Affilate Link) - www.jackery.com?aff=83
Rebuilding this SUV Overlanding Camper into Luc's new full time home. Before this 4x4 FJ cruiser was rebuild Luc had lived inside for over a year. Through that experience living off grid in the truck camper, Luc decided that he wanted to start a rebuild. This truck bed camper has a bed room, tons of under storage, triple slide kitchen, closet, and a full Jackery Explorer 1000.

I would recommend drilling vent holes for the Jackery. Nice set up

The ingenuity that went into this build is just amazing. Beautiful results.

That was both a very interesting and inspiring video. Interesting to watch the absolute maximum efficiency being made out of a small space. Inspiring to watch individuals in their 20's, 30's, and 50's all working together towards a common goal.

@paulsehstedt6275 3 жыл бұрын

Nicely done, but you need to secure your books and the Jackery. The latter need ventilation too. Good luck!

This reminds me of the Flintstone episode where Fred and Barney were converting Fred's FlintMobile into a camper. Of course they used slate and tanned hides instead of plywood.

Use the gap by the wheel wells for your window covers for night and privacy/stealth and add a bungee or a belt to stop the books from flying off the shelf when you put on the brakes

FYI, when you buy your sheeting, just stain it as a 4 x 8 sheet that way when you get done and you’re ready to finish your final product are you have to do is touch up staining

Would you happen to have the plans for this build? I think it’s perfect and would like to build this in my FJ. Perhaps a “floor plan” on a different website?

@tjortaraja Ай бұрын

Amazing. Just a couple of tweaks and it would be perfect. If the door was on the other side you could add a drop table and possible a holder for a collapsible sink bucket. Also if the cooler was on a slide that dropped down so you can see in and access easily this would be the next upgrade I would work on.

I want to see how the sleeping set up looks with him in it. Pretty neat but I was wondering how he could fit. Does he fold forward the front seat entirely or how does this work? On camera the length looked relatively small. Or maybe it’s just me anxious and itching being nearly 6 feet

Your Jackery unit is going to overheat Stuck inside that box. You can’t block the airflow on its side. It’s going to fail on you a lot sooner installing it inside that box

@grizzbuck 3 жыл бұрын

I have to agree about the possible overheating concerns. I'd suggest some design of cutouts on each side of the Jackery with louvered venting or screen covers. With as innovative as you two are, I'm sure you'll come up with a great solution.

@freedomdove 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. He should cut holes in the plywood or something for ventilation.

@theshadow7205 3 жыл бұрын

It’s a sweet build, Just trying to save him a powerless night down the road and possibly having to purchase another unit. That would suck. I just know in my experience anything with with a fan and louvers needs to be vented. Whether it’s a fridge , Power supply, even a hairdryer.

It really depends on what he's using it for. It won't get very hot at all charging with that panel. And if he's rarely drawing 100w from it for more than 30 seconds, heat won't be an issue.
