You are so wrong

You're wrong, I'm right!

Ah what a small world! Erik & Christina were AWESOME and we can't wait to run into them again!

I think they are going to be VERY happy with it on their adventures!

It was very cool to see the craftsmanship and engineering up close!

Thanks! They love it!

Wow those sound awesome! We also have a bunch of welded seams so we'll cross our fingers with ya... 😂

They were wonderful people and we hope to run into them again soon!

Thanks so much Jeremey! It was fun to check out the Kimbo and see how someone else tackled some of the common problems with typical campers.

So toasty!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for watching!

I think the Kimbo is a great solution for a lot of people! Especially people who aren't crazy and can't dedicate 3 months of their lives to building something 😂

Thank you!

We were so stoked to be able to see one in person!

It sure felt like we were caught in a story time book!

Thanks Dwayne!

Yes very different intended uses!

Stoked on life!

Yes they are very unique and it was so cool being able to see one in person! We can't wait to see how Erik & Christina customize it to their own needs. We're from California so the snow is still a bit of a novelty to us. We'll see how we feel after a few months of it! 😂

Yes we were very impressed with the craftsmanship!

Hi Tony! The double pane is awesome! We are super impressed with how well insulated they are in this cold weather.

Yes they are very unique!

Gotcha good! 😂

I said the same thing! Me kickin' it at 5' 8" LOL.

That really shocked me!!!

Thank you so much! It was very cool being able to check one out in person.

@@AmbitionStrikes if we ever meet you are welcome to do a tour of my self made flatbed camper! I’m based in Los Angeles.

@@Gilibob13 We would love to do a rig tour of it!!

@@AmbitionStrikes anytime!

It comes in handy when painting... 🙈

Thank you!

Or a Renogy solar and battery system! 🙌🏻

They are awesome! So simple, lightweight and functional.

Thank you Henry!

They are one of the simplest designs we’ve seen on the market, and we love it!!

Very different campers with very different intended uses! We were a bit envious of how simple the Kimbo was, because ours is definitely higher maintenance!

Exact same decision I’m facing right now!

@@confettihunterminus1 Me too!

@Steve great stuff. I am also lening toward the Scout but now with the new Toyota Tundra coming out, I have a new dilemma...is it going to be the Yoho for the Tacoma or the Olympia for the new Tundra? Anyway, the wife and I will seat down and run things ovrr again to see what's best suited our needs before putting a down payment on one. All the best to you on your decision. Happy camping and stay safe.

I'm a full timer so my opinion is a bit different. I went with the kimbo. It isn't finished being built yet, bit I can't wait. I chose the kimbo because it is so modular. Being full time you need every inch of space to act as 3 inches of space. I have figured out how to get in a shower space, a composting toilet (cassette toilets are smelly), and storage for all my stuff. Kimbo truly gives a better canvas to create a space from. If I was going out on weekends, and week long trips, the scout would be a good option. I just couldn't go that way, and oddly a huge turn off for me on the scout was air circulation. After living in a regular size cargo van, you realize how important it is to keep out condensation. The scout has a dinky little fan that barely does anything. It would make for hot summer nights and wet walled winters.

I'm very curious to see some long term reviews of the new 7.3 gas Fords! We aren't brand loyal at all and have owned something from just about every manufacturer. I'm super happy with our Ram but Eric's Tremor is an awesome truck too!

@@AmbitionStrikes that’s how I feel also I guess you can’t go wrong lol dodge Ford Chevy. Love your Chanel

Thanks so much for subscribing to our adventures Thomas!

Just like us they have made quite a few compromises and worked their butts off to make their dreams happen!

Thank you so much Marcel!

Yes a larger version for a full size truck would be rad!!

There really isn't a one fits all solution when it comes to "who makes the best camper" but I do believe the Kimbo is an excellent solution for the weekend warrior who enjoys well designed simplicity!

That is so awesome! Are you full time or more of a weekend warrior?

@@AmbitionStrikes I take trips anywhere from a few days to a month or so. I’ve been to New Orleans, Yosemite, death Valley, Yellowstone and the grand Tetons, Mount Baker, Grand Canyon and a few other places. I’d like to put a portal hole in the side without a window, like they do in the boats. I just like the idea of having windows on every side, so I can see what’s around me. I suggest it you get some bungee cords for your baskets or some other kind of covering, if you go off road you’re going to find the floor flooded with all kinds of stuff from the baskets. I also have made a board across the front of the bed, so that my stuff doesn’t slide off the bed onto the floor. I just use a clamp to fasten it where the shelves are. I like the idea of your tarp covering your solar panel and top of your roof.

Very different intended uses! We were a bit envious of how light and compact their set up was, especially for off-roading!

@@AmbitionStrikes Don't you think the 4 jacks would get hung up going off road?........ the out side of the box is nice but lacks a lot on the inside and little function but that's me......................so in the back of your mines are you planing your next one?

They are very different, but thanks for the compliment Steve!

Also add a solar panel on each of the 45 degree panels of the roof to add cheap wattage no matter which side faces the sun

That is an excellent idea!

My vacuum is always squeaky clean... but that just speaks to my clean freak nature 😂

@@AmbitionStrikes 😁😁

I love how the vacuum by the bedding is the one thing that JH has to comment on. 😂

It heated up inside super quickly! I am also curious to see how long the propane tank lasts!

I’m not sure! You may be able to email Kimbo and buy directly?

@@AmbitionStrikes I'll check with them. Wire baskets like that are super handy. I have a few in the house, truck and trailer.

Been researching Kimbo and the wire baskets are a not too expensive option from Kimbo; part of their design ethos.

Thank you Mark!

Riley really is a wealth of knowledge!

I think as long as the roof vent is left cracked it should be fine!

The heater chimney is both an intake and exhaust so there is no condensation

So much snow! At night during our trip it was in the low teens, except for one night where it hit -7! Erik & Christina said that the heater was easily able to keep up in the cold weather.

Every rig has it's drawbacks. This one is light, compact, and super simple. Great weekender.

@@AmbitionStrikes Yours is a super glamping rig, the Kinbo is a survival glamping rig.

It’s rated R5. But the propane heater heats a small place quick!

More important than R-value is the effective R-value. You need to take into consideration the amount of thermal bridging and in the Kimbo there is very minimal. The fireplace was easily able to keep us toasty warm while inside.

This was filmed in February of 2021

He plans to add a somewhat large enclosed trailer to the set up!

Riley's Mom can tell you about all of the things he has taken apart as a child... 😂

@@AmbitionStrikes - I am sure the list is LONG, indeed.

I think the Earthroamer's have central vacuum... that is such a neat idea! With two dogs and Riley I definitely end up vacuuming out the camper a few times a day!

oh, like a velvet on the valls. so what are those windows?? wish i knew about them before i bought mine.. actually, maybe i dont wish i knew! know what i mean lol

mountain biking, dirtbiking, rock climbing... thats my neck of the woods ;)

It’s important to carry a tiny hand broom and dust pan, keeps the floor clean. The windows are double pane.

@@benjones8977 what brand are those windows? Yea used broom for awhile but I’m in Colorado and the dust is bad. With the dust on everything, the dog hair and pine needles I just want to get it all up quickly. And my dog sheds a lot

And indoor bathroom for full time living was definitely a must for us!

Yes the jacks are easily removable! After smacking a jack and damaging a Lance camper we owned we got in the habit of taking them off before any long trip. The cool thing about making them so wide is the ease of loading/unloading from the truck. We had a cabover for awhile with narrow jacks that meant you had to back up perfectly centered with less than an inch to spare.

@@AmbitionStrikes Why did you chose this over the lance 650?

The windows are from Tern Overland!

Stoked on life!

Yes! He was temporarily using a wood platform until his custom drawer slides arrived!

We have taken several showers outside this winter in ours and it has been great! Showering inside of a small camper really is a last resort option for most.

25k

We received 8’ of snow in 2 days so Eric put the tarp on to shed snow (Riley spent the entire time shoveling our roof and we will definitely do the same next time).

It was rad being able to check out the new Tremor package in person! 35" tires, a lift, rear locker, upgraded shocks, and trail control as factory options (with a factory warranty) really means Ford is stepping up their game!

They are the same windows we have in our camper. You can either slide the blind up, the screen down or split them open. It is awesome!

Riley said his best guess is somewhere between .100 and .125

The snow falls off the slippery tarp, instead of having to shovel it off!

I don't even want to know how many hours Riley has into welding our camper... 😂

Yup!

@@AmbitionStrikes damn overachievers!

Yup! 😂

We are huge fans of truck campers because you can always take the camper out and have a normal truck. Much more practical than a dedicated RV. It’s all about work hard, play hard. We’re all gonna die someday so might as well go on epic adventures while you can.

There are certainly different options for different people!

We have met quite a few people who choose not put a bathroom in their camper for simplicity!

They are very different, but thank you Arthur!

Very different vehicles intended for very different uses. Speaking from experience theirs is way lower maintenance than ours!

@@AmbitionStrikes and yours is lower maintenance than mine..... Is your ram a 3500 or 2500?

Campers are tough for tall people, that's part of why we built our own!

Thanks for watching Billy!

We have seen so many truck campers on our trips! Especially in the snowmobile, ski and mountain bike parking lots.
