Lol. By the way, you are truly one of the coolest son-in-laws! :)

She is suppose to be released from the hospital today. :) If you think of any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are always looking for new video ideas. :) Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍. We really are happy with it! She will be released from the hospital today. :)

Very cool! We love making new friends from Europe! Thanks for watching. :)

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. :)

Thanks for watching! We really love living in our tiny space. To us less really is more!

I agree, Great Video for sure

Thanks so much! We also say that what works for one person (or couple) may not work for another. We are enjoying it though. :) Shalane is suppose to be getting out of the hospital today. :)

Thanks so much for your comment. :) We will try to share more on our tiny space living as we think of things that people would like to know.

Thanks so much! I am not even close to being the editor that Shalane ie but I appreciate it. :) Thanks for your prayers!

Thanks 👍! Yes, the bathroom is a tight fit. lol Shalane is suppose to be released from the hospital today. I will let her know that you were asking about her. Thanks again! :)

I actually prefer a bathhouse in an RV park but we boondock so much that I do use the shower a lot. :) Thanks for watching. :)

Great point! I actually have purchased a small pump that can be ran by my drill. In something that small I really like for most of my devices to have at least 2 functions. :) Shalane is finally feeling better. :) Thanks Steve!

You and me both! Referring to both Magen and the recovery. ;) We have talked a lot about trying van life, but the truck camper we can take off if we stay a long time in one place. That will free up just driving the truck. With a van, you are always having to move your 'house' with no chance to remove your home. That is the only reason why we chose a truck camper. ;)

Thanks so much for your prayers. Today she is feeling a little bit better. Hopefully soon she will be back at full strength. :) We hope everyone will be able to get out and enjoy some camping soon. :)

Thanks for the tips!

Shalane is feeling much better. Thanks! :)

The bathroom actually already has a shower curtain along the inside of the door. We like the privacy that a solid door provides, but the curtain is certainly adequate. Thanks for the idea. :)

Thanks for well wishes for Shalane. She is suppose to be released from the hospital today. :) Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks 👍! An hour is too long to get it into the truck. :/ It was my first time doing so. I sure how it gets faster the more I do it. I will streamline the process hopefully. I will always try to give a honest review. Hopefully, Shalane will be better soon to give her take on it. Thanks for your support of our channel! Enjoy Reno. :)

Glad it was helpful! We do really enjoy it! It gets us to many places that we would have to skip if we were in our old bumper pull. Thanks for watching! :)

Yes, life is all about choices. We love living in our tiny space so much. Thanks so much for watching! Hope to meet you soon!

An easier way to fill up your water tank is to carry a garden hose with you if you're in a campground or somewhere where you can hook up a garden hose to water but the garden hose in there and just let it run slow until it starts to run over it's a whole lot easier and trying to lift that 6 gallon jug up there every time and I hope your wife gets well real soon

Thanks Amy! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We love to help.

It is not for everyone, that is for sure. :) It certainly is much better than sleeping in a tent. ;) We love it because it allows us to stop anywhere a normal truck would be able to stop. Pulling a camper, or getting a larger motorhome does limit where you can stop sometimes. Thanks for being such a loyal follower of our channel. :)

I think it's cute and cozy ..I don't mean anything bad about it just I myself couldn't lol..and yes way way better than a tent💕💕

I hope so too. Glad to have been able to show you your first truck camper. It is amazing how much we can put into a tiny space. :) Thanks for watching!

She is much better now. :) Thanks so much for your concern. :) Let us know if you have any questions. We would love to help.

Thanks for the suggestion. Another viewer had pointed out the same thing. I went with a cordless drill and special attachment. It made it so much easier and saved me over a thousand dollars. :) We made a video of it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a92Ee5ye18WXl40.html If money wasn't really a factor, I would have jumped on the electric jacks though.

Shalane is feeling a little better everyday now. It is a slow recovery but at least she is getting better. Thanks for watching! :)

Thank you! Will do!

We once spent a whole summer camping out of a camper shell. Yes, you are right, this is almost like glamping compared to that. lol ;) Thanks for watching.

Great idea!!! My wife just mentioned doing the same thing a couple of days ago. It sure would make things easier. Thanks! 👏😀👍

Or put up a shower curtain to cover those things.

So happy when we get to help our friends! So many wonderful people have helped in our journeys. :)

Thanks for your suggestion of the brass elbow. I like it a lot. If the little 6 inch piece of hose doesn't work like I think it should that will be my next option. By the way, we think you two are AWESOME! I will let Shalane know that you are thinking about her. Thanks! :)

Thanks for the tip and for watching!

Thanks for the ideas! I always appreciate helpful feedback. Thanks for watching!

Good luck on your search. Hopefully, this video helped in some way to make the search easier. :) Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I will let her know that you are thinking of her! :)

Tim! It is great to hear from you again. 5 months without WiFi has got to be some kind of record in today's world. I agree that COVID pushed JCP over the edge. I doubt there will be a need for workampers anymore at JCP. I hope I am wrong but I would be surprised. Thanks for stopping by!

Glad it was helpful! We are going to release our budget video about living full time in this truck camper on Tuesday. I hope you will be able to watch. :) Thanks for watching!

@@GrassRootsLiving Looking forward to it !

Great idea! The feet came with the purchase of the cutting board over the stove top. Surprisingly, it fit perfectly over the range top with the feet extended out to it furthest setting. Thanks for watching and for your idea. :) I will put a link for the cutting board in the description.

No problem! Thanks for watching! We will do another video soon on the truck camper. :)

Thanks for the great ideas. The water indicator that just sticks to the outside the tank, does it have an alarm or something? If not, wouldn't I still have to open up the compartment to see the depth of the water? too funny about the too tall thing. ;) Plans are still unsure due to the slow reopening of America and my wife recovery. :/ Thanks again!

@@GrassRootsLiving There is electronics that allow you to see the level without opening things up. All bigger RV's have them. If you just search "water tank monitor" on amazon you will see a complete list of all kinds and prices. Take care.

Someone else mentioned the same thing. I now have a backup in case the 6 inch hose doesn't work like I think it will. Thanks for the idea and for watching! :)

Tell me about it. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. :)

No, I wouldn't consider it a 4 season, unless you lived or traveled in a warm climate for the winter like Florida or south Texas.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I will have to check it out. :)

Thanks for the idea. I already bought a little pump that is powered by my drill. As I get older, I will probably go that route. As it is, I just consider it good exercise. lol ;) Thanks again.

​I just saw this - looks interesting: shoppemarleys.com/products/hand-electric-drill-drive-self-priming-water-transfer-pump?fbclid=IwAR3FUraNQnt_Eawr3E4G6xbQL_ZKVzrC8DscTTpK0vh2Bu3h34C3eUYSetE

We were quite happy with the quality of our Travel Lite truck camper. We would probably still be in it but after living 15 months full time in it, we felt like we needed a little more space as there were 2 of us. :)

Shalane's sister is recording it. Thanks so much for your kind words. It is greatly appreciated! :)

Sorry about getting back to you so late. Here is the link to their website: www.mattressinsider.com/mattress-condensation-prevention.html I am not an affiliate of the company. They quote it at $9.99 a linear foot. A queen size bed would need 10 linear feet so it would be about $99.99 with free shipping. Hope this helps. :)

No, it just drains to the side of the truck. Only the shower drains to the gray tank. Thanks for watching.

You are correct! The kitchen water drains outside into a 6 gallon jug that we bought and put there. The gray tank only drains the shower water. :) Let me know if you have any other questions.

@@GrassRootsLiving Thank you for the info...Enjoy the journeys...and create more videos

Sorry we are slow getting around to comments sometimes. Yes, you are correct on both gallon amounts. :)

Here is the link to the cutting board: amzn.to/30zODVH I think you will find the cutting board to be very helpful. It goes on a little snug at first but loosens up over time. Thanks for watching. We just did a follow up 6-month update that you might want to check out. :)

@@GrassRootsLiving Oh perfect! Thank you so much, i am ordering it now. You guys are so cute and awesome, I hope to live out of my 2020 770RSL in the future with my special lady. Inspiring!! One more question, I removed my microwave too, but I need to find the right size mesh netting for the covering, did u find your online or make your own?

Yes, we found it easier to do it that way. It is a very, very small truck camper with a very small shower. There wouldn't have been a lot of space to move around in the shower, if we left the toilet in there. Thanks for the question and for watching. :)

The tailgate was removed to save on weight. :)

@@GrassRootsLiving Thank you. :)

Thanks so much for your kind words. You have some great questions. My Ford F-250 has a 8 ft bed. I saw that the 2021 770R has a flushing toilet. I don't really know if I like it or not. We use a lug-a-loo with pine pellets and it works great for us. I wonder if it would have enough room and if it would drastically increase the weight. We have never been turned away from an RV Park but we rarely ever stay in one. Less than 5% of the year do we pay for a place with hookups. I have heard that 1000 trails is not friendly to truck campers, but I have not looked into because that kind of 'camping' is not for us. One word of caution, my F-250 has a payload of 2,300 lbs. By the time, we put the camper (1400 lbs) two people (300 lbs) and (500 lbs of stuff in the cab and camper) I am just under our payload capacity. I once looked into buying a Tundra. I believe a Tundra has a payload capacity of about 1600 lbs. Although I don't know for sure, I would definitely look into it. You may need a bigger truck payload to haul it safely. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. :)

@@GrassRootsLiving Thanks for the reply! My Tundra's payload isn't the greatest and it does look like any truck camper attached would push it near the limits. I was already thinking of deleting the microwave, fridge (currently own a 12v fridge) and no AC. In the truck, removal of unneeded passenger seats to reduce weight. Back to the drawing board for me. An upgrade to an F-250 Superduty might ultimately be the path I take in the future. Shame because my Tundra is already paid off but a truck camper setup/4x4 van matches my travel style (offgrid in national forest or BLM land). The Tundra has also been such a reliable vehicle.

@@tansadventure I certainly understand. As I said, I looked into a Tundra before I bought the F-250. It looks like a great truck, just not what I need to haul around a truck camper up mountain passes. I do like your future travel plans. Perhaps one day we will run into you off grid in some national forest. :)

@@GrassRootsLiving how do you like your attachments to the truck?

Thanks I will let her know that you are thinking of her. We do use the Luggable Lou when we are boondocking. When we are staying at an RV Park while workamping, we generally will use the restrooms provided by the employer as much as we can. Thanks for watching! :)

Here is the link to their website: www.mattressinsider.com/mattress-condensation-prevention.html I am not an affiliate of the company. They quote it at $9.99 a linear foot. A queen size bed would need 10 linear feet so it would be about $99.99 with free shipping. Hope this helps. :)

I am about 6 foot tall. The little container that we built to hold are shoes is directly under the A/C. If it was not there I would fit under the A/C with no problems. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful! I did check out your rebuild and it was AMAZING!!! We live in ours full time and do a lot of boondocking so we love the 3 way refrigerator, the wet bath, and the fact that it all slides into the truck bed without any overhang. Thanks so much for your comment!

Yes helps a ton thank you. I’m ordering tonight.

@@GrassRootsLiving how does this compare to the froli system?

We loved this truck camper because it is so light and it has a indoor shower. However, I don't know if a Tundra would work. If you take the dry weight of the camper and add to it the contents of your trip, there is a real chance that it would exceed the carrying capacity of a Tundra. I don't know for sure, but I would definitely want to check. They say to add 500 pounds of your own personal belongings to the dry weight of the camper. That would make it about 1900 lbs. The 2021 Tundra, for example, has a carry capacity of 1500 to 1730 pounds on flat ground with no wind. Climbing a mountain in it into a head wind would really stress the engine. Something to think about. Thanks for watching!

@@GrassRootsLiving I don't see why Toyota doesn't make a bigger truck to compete with Ford,GMC,and the dodge ram.

We got our truck camper at a dealership in Omaha, NE. We toured our first truck camper in Reno, NV. The dealerships that carry this brand of truck camper are scattered around the country. Also, websites like rvt.com and rvtrader.com will have them as well. Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for your help! I will have to check out the weight! I will go over now and check out your channel. :) Thanks again for stopping by!

I bought an adapter that I can use with my little drill. I still can only do one jack at a time as oppose to the electric jacks that I had on my popup truck camper that could do all 4 at once. My drill is too small to actually raise the truck but it makes dropping the jacks sooooo much easier. Thanks for the idea and for watching. :)

@@GrassRootsLiving its a lot better than cranking it up/down by hand. I'd prefer to save the $1000 it cost or more and buy a decent drill to power up and down. I have a Milwaukee drill with 2 batteries lots of power.

What model number is your Milwaukee drill? I want to get one but I want it to be the right one.

@@GrassRootsLiving all check that in the morning right now I'm camping in my truck Cap camper

Actually, the dry weight on this truck camper is surprisingly low at just under 1400 lbs.. We have not had a single problem with it and have driven it thousands of miles. I do agree that if I would have gone with the smallest Lance truck camper, I would have had to go to frame-mounted tiedowns. Thanks for your comment. We love getting input from the community at large.

Yes, we still are buds. Why did you lose 200 subs?

@@GrassRootsLiving yes, I have gotten back 25 so far

Of course!! Thanks for watching. I will go check on your channel now. :)

@@GrassRootsLiving thank-you very much for the tour. this answer a lot of my questions . I like the 770R . with my 1/2 ton truck 1700lb payload , do you think my truck can handle it ??? is your truck a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton ?

LOL, I should have said that! Thanks for watching!
