So refreshing to see an actual affordable rig with genuine people doing it for the adventure and not 100k$+ rigs acting resourceful and off the grid when they sleep half the month in their homes LOL and really only do it for the perfect instagram pictures.

Thank you for this video! I loved full time in my RV for three years now but we have never been able to fix her enough to be mobile (she had a lot of water damage when we got her) now we are trying to downsize to a cab over camper like yours because of budget and seeing how you organized helped give me a sense of what types of storage I needed to refigure for my families needs. I hope to one day be traveling too!

Crohn’s disease? That's great news! My naturopath turned me on to a new medication by a company called Tesseract. There's this weird stuff that your body makes from fiber. Your colon uses it as a fuel that it uses both to heal and do it's job. It's called Butryic acid. Up till now they haven't been able to put it in a capsule since people would barf it up. They figured out a way to make it time release recently and man what a difference it's made for me. I have a different problem from yours but once of my cancer medications causes much the same symptoms as Crohn’s disease. I take 600mg a day. The blood stopped. This is a vast improvement.

I have an older Lance 945 Squire camper on a 1997 F250 HD with the Legendary 7.3 Power Stroke as well!! A truly incredible engine and truck! I like leaving the inverter accessible like you did... but instead of running wires throughout, I wired my inverter straight to the electric box so all of the outlets around the camper - inside and out - are energized. I also have to get something under my mattress as well. That was a super idea and cost effective too - I had mold under my mattress as well. Love your channel!

27:30 2003, we built our latest ExpeditionVehicle. I fabricated a metal bed frame over our flip-top crates storage. The mattress lays on 'expanded' metal, similar to stout window-screen. For ventilation -- irregardless of weather or season -- we open windows on opposing walls. To reduce interior humidity, we cook and shower outside. Summers are up rough logger tracks to remote mountain lakes, winters on isolated Baja beaches. If the weather turns too wet too long, our caravan can usually agree to move.

You guys have really nailed it. Your tour was very informative, thorough and really demonstrated what it is like to seriously live full time in a camper. Many touches most people would never probably think of, the roll-up bathroom door, the wooden grid under the bed to prevent mold, the subway tile in the kitchen, etc. Every square inch is utilized. Excellent presentation and thanks for your effort and for the references where to purchase your upgrades. Thank you for mentioning the price point of your rig, it's a good baseline when we go shopping to know there are some great bargains available. Also, the nod to Ikea was helpful (they should sponsor you!). Ikea may want to create a section just for RVers, they would make a fortune. Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing your tiny home with us. We use the space above our bedroom windows to hang our hats. We also use the ceiling to hang our fishing rods. We have a fifth wheel but making our bed is difficult too. Just last year I had an happy accident. I was too tired to make the bed so I just folded the sheet and comforter then layed it across the bottom. I layed the decorative throw across it then tossed the sham pillows in place. When I looked back I realized it looked just as pretty as if I had struggled to make it. So now.. that's all I do. So much easier. Don't know why it too me so long to figure that one out. Lol. Happy travels.

Suggestions or idea's ? my goodness no. I am in awe of how co-ordinated and beautifully you have used every space available. Things aren't just put in space to get them out of the way, on the contrary you have things in spaces where you need them for ease of access. Your tour was complete and informative and I can't think of anything you missed. I love the removal of the bathroom door and the roll-up bambo curtain. I have had an old motorhome, 2 5th wheels and now a pull behind travel trailer I live in full time. I traveled from N.J. to Arizona back in the 80's in a truck camper my 1rst wife owned, and it did great. I have seen the winds of Wyoming, Colorado and the Dakota's and figured it could be scary with a truck camper being so top heavy and narrow based. This is where I would figure a dually would give more stability. Have you and Chris ever experienced heavy wind issues? Super nice video and great job. I was riveted to the video from start to finish. Best of wishes to you both for a super future. After my wife of 21 yrs passed away, I sold our home and land in northern Vermont and have lived in my travel trailer ever since. 10 yrs to date. Presently set up in RV resort outside of Tampa.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out! Sorry for your loss, but glad you're making the best of the nomadic nature! We had some really rough wind coming across the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma. And again in central Wyoming outside of Lander. The truck held up well and we don't know whether the dually would have helped or not. We just went slow and steady and kept an eye on the weather before driving into winds that we knew we could not handle.

You'll enjoy owning a truck camper if you can get used to small spaces. We learned over 3 years how to get the most out of ours. But every truck camper (and truck camper owner) is different so you'll find what works for you. We have a whole section on our website about learning how to live in a truck camper. Feel free to check it out and let us know if you end up with any specific questions we may be able to help you with!

Very thorough! Thank you! I’m currently entertaining to my dream thoughts and reading about RV Life. What kinds I may want and things. I’m 22 years old and finishing up college. My career can be remote 🤷‍♀️ and I haven’t found a need to stay in one place yet... and I love travel.... so oddly it makes sense to try to look into this lifestyle. Ty for the content! 💕

@CalledToWander 3 жыл бұрын

Glad it was helpful! Like most things in life, the choice in an RV is a function of what you want vs. what you can afford. For us the TC was a great starter RV because we've been able to use the truck by itself as our primary vehicle in many instances, and it was the right size and right budget. If you haven't already, it's probably worth investing in some weekend rentals of a few different types of RVs. Try to "stress test" them by putting yourself in situations where you learn the strengths and limitations of each. For example, how much water can you store and how much do you actually use on a daily basis, etc. Hope you find what you are looking for and let us know how it goes!

Okay, you guys need to give lessons on how to do a tour video of a camper. Very informative, just a good quality video. I truly mean that. Great job😊. We love love love your decor choices, especially your tile and your idea of using wood like wallpaper is very cool, you guys have a beautiful home.❤️ I'm definitely going to take your advice on your storage solutions with our truck camper, very helpful. However your solution, when it comes to your bathroom door, absolutely blew my mind🤯. That is my biggest complaint when it comes to our brand new truck camper. That door drives me nuts. It's always in the way, it's a huge inconvenience. So, as soon as I get done writing you this message, I'm getting on Ikea and ordering one immediately.😂 Even though our camper is new, I also believe I'm going to take your advice. To take a little time living with our truck camper, but eventually making it our own. Maybe painting, definitely adding our own personal touches. And oh Chris, your cabinet door edition for your old microwave cabinet is absolutely gorgeous. I ordered our camper, with no microwave, can't see myself ever using one. We love the addition of the metal work in your cabinet door, it gives your kitchen a lot of character. Great job. Actually, great job to both of you. You both have created a beautiful home.❤️ Thank you for the great video, and thank you for the helpful inspiration. Safe travels to you both, and we're looking forward to seeing you next video.😁

We LOVE our truck camper! But like all things, purpose is important. We like the mobility and the fact we get a lot of bang for our buck when it comes to space. The backsplash is a simple way to really brighten the kitchen and make it feel more like "home" (even though they aren't expensive at all!). Thanks for watching and reaching out!

Thanks! We had never thought of one either as they are so rare in Florida, but once we toured one in person it blew us away! You'll have to sell your wife on the lifestyle and take her on a tour of a few of them. Plus show her how to make the camper her own and all of the beautiful places you can go with the freedom of the truck camper. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!
