Duuude, U just created a whole new meaning to van lifers! Not to mention you're still not done with it! The skills are superb man, along w/cleanliness, & an eloquent look about it too!👍🏾💯

I'm not saying I'm copying all your builds, but I'm copying all your builds. lol straight 🔥

"I like to build living spaces in weird places" has to be the best tagline I've ever heard for these videos. Slap that on a fuckin' tee shirt ASAP.

He is so blessed he got skills, love his videos.

This young man is so talented. He builds the coolest living spaces.

I love how you willing to disassemble after a built to improve your creation.

This is definitely my KZfaq crush! A man that’s smart, funny, and can build things 🤩😍 he’s so blessed I love his videos

That looks like an upscale rifle box for a Range Rover. It would look great in a luxury oriented Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

Wow Dual you all got a lot of rain in your neck of the woods …. I totally enjoy and understand all of your build growing up my dad did all the construction in the house we lived in and my late husband was a general contractor so keep them coming totally great and thank you

Wow this is great cause we get the Melanin Aqua Man🧜🏿‍♂️ in the beginning and The HULK 🏋🏿‍♂️ at the end so both in one video🤣😅😂 This formate of your vlogs is great because we don't wait too long between vlogs and we see quicker progress each week on job series. See you next week 👍🏾🌟

You are so generous to provide the plans for free after all the time and effort you put into developing this build. I hope people donate to help with your future projects. You’ve come a long way since those first van builds and I thought those were pretty ingenious.

You are an absolute beast when it comes to this stuff. I wish I had half of your talent!

You'd be a millionaire building these in Colorado. This is next level creativity.

The fact that you got in that truck with your feet soaking wet like that snatched my soul. I could never

You make some of the coolest stuff. Great quality video to watch and learn also. Thanks for being my Teacher.

I'm from Colorado and we have great camping spots

I love watching talented people use their skills. You made this build look so easy and effortless. Great video.

This is so impressive! From the RV to this setup, these videos have literally been *chef kiss*. Someone on an earlier video suggested a collab with Mav in the future and I totally agree.

This video is so timely as I'm about to embark on a month long road trip. So glad to see you're into truck camper conversions too. You're definitely my go-to person on KZfaq when it comes to any type of vehicle conversion. Thank you! Edit: I signed up for the Skillshare using your code. This is so awesome! My birthday is next month so this is like an early birthday present to me. Thanks again!

That kitchen draw is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for for my build, just couldn’t get my brain to process how to physically do it. So much thanks for the detailed look man!

So happy you are getting sponsored! You should, you’re doing great work! Thank you for sharing your plans with us

You are so creative. Enjoy watching you build things. Keep up the Great work! Peace and Blessings always.....

Design is outstanding. Simplicity, functionality and light weight. Absolutely terrific.

100% support this new format! Love seeing your techniques and the tools you use. Unfortunately for my wallet, now I need to buy a clamp-on straight edge and a big ol forstner bit.

Love the telescoping drawer. So simple, but so functional. Well, done! I'll be using that design feature down the road.

Beautiful craftsmanship! Such talent! God's continued blessings, Alex!

Super talented!!! And generous showing your skills and your plans! That’s how people get blessed brother..

Yep, the broken up videos are great. More to look forward to. More to get excited about seeing how you one up yourself in the next one!

I've watched hundreds of builds, dude you've got superb building/design skills. Also the way you've edited your video made watching it appealing. Kudos and keep it up!

I thought I wanted to build a camper in my truck's shell. Now I just want to watch you do it

I've noticed others who are confronting the negative responses you know you are going to get ahead of time. Way to go! Nice build! Dang, I miss my truck! lol

Dude your work is just getting better and better. Love it and thanks for sharing!

You make Just the sickest stuff. Looks so mint

I can't believe you built that whole truck camper shell, outstanding! Very impressive. You do great work. So generous of you to share your knowledge and plans with others, thank you! The truck bed/kitchen/storage space looks fantastic, just wow! I'm really glad you use real oil stains and oil based Poly not that water Poly and ghastly gel stains, yuck. The storage bins on either side are very well made. I'll share my refinishing tips with you that took me many years to fine tune: I do a lot of wood refinishing and furniture restoration. Don't use spray Varathane Poly. You pay much more, for much less, inhale very toxic fumes, and the finish quality is terrible. Polyurethane must not get bubbles. In the spray type, you inject bubbles thru spraying. As it dries, the bubbles burst forming tiny rough craters on surface. Now you have to sand down. All wrong. When you use the canned Poly, turn upside down night before, then stir once opened, and tap can to remove bubbles. You have this option with the can that you don't have with the spray. I would also never use a sponge brush, awful things with no feathering control. Brush every time with a bristle brush only. Any cheap brush will do. Dilute your Oil based Satin Interior Clear Polyurethane with 50:50 Mineral Spirits or Paint Thinner in a glass jar. Use a bristle brush (cheap one small size) to spread. Pour out a bit of the thinned poly in a tuna can and paint generously all over, not so much on vertical sides. After 10 mins, wipe or smear the poly with paper towels all over, picking up excess and any drips, Its more of a smear than wipe. The idea is not to leave on any thick coating but a fine film instead, and smearing any drips that start forming. Poly must not be tacky but still wet when you do this. Now let dry. Apply 2 more coats same way. When you thin out your Poly, it soaks into the wood fast and does not just sit on top like a thick ugly finish. The wood hardens, end grain seals off, and each successive coat layer gives depth but still keeps the touch and feel of the wood. Very different from one thick layer first time. Never do that. This process will yield a hand rubbed finish to your woodwork. I also like to lightly torch the wood first using a propane torch. For pine, it gives a beautiful soft shading to wood. But on most woods torching also brings the wood oils to the surface as a natural sealer and water repellent layer. Then I like to heavily coat all over with Boiled Linseed Oil (not any other kind or form). This conditions dry wood and gives a golden hue. I dry 1-2 days then start my poly coats. The finer the furniture, the thinner the poly. You can go down to Poly 40:60 Spirits at the lowest. The finer the end result. For fine furniture, I rub in the oil with 400 - 600 grit sandpaper so it polishes wood surface. After you poly and wax, wow! Feels like satin under your hands. very silky to the touch. This is a nice end finish to fine woods. The music - natural sounds are best. Music continues to overload the senses and irritate this viewer. Remember that musical tastes are generational and you appeal to a broader public with no music, and a narrower public with your enforced choice of music. Music is very personal, so you are in effect, forcing people to hear your choices of music if they come to see your builds. Same as if I came to see your workshop and commission a build and you were playing loud rock music and refused to turn it off. Not smart. Photography and videos attract people who like 'visuals'. These folks may not be musically inclined at all. Imagine if I created a DIY channel that only played high-pitched soprano opera arias. Imagine guys watching that build and being forced to endure that music. Get it? Think like that and your channel will grow much faster. On the other hand, you probably won't read this or care. Unsubscribed. I can't take this music anymore.

Love these revision videos. Nice to hear you review what you liked, what you want to adjust and see you redo the project with the new information.

You are constantly improving. That Hulk Hogan ending was priceless. Keep innovating and keep kicking ass!

Lately I've been loving the videos man. Keep it up.

I like this build, I’ve seen so many that only use half the bed (width) but the under storage allows the full wide bed. Great work

That is awesome work!!! I've been looking at doing something similar to my F150 as well. Going to research more on this idea for sure. Also, a tailgate assist may help you out when you are in the back and want to drop your tailgate. That way you can just open it and let it go and the strut will bring your tailgate down for you.

We're building a drawer system in our Liberty for trail use. Your ideas have been really helpful. I really like the idea of the folding couch as a lounge area in addition to the rooftop tent. Won't fit in our current build, but definitely keeping it in mind for the future. The stain on your drawers turned out gorgeous!

Been waiting 💯🔥 and all tht water crazy lol. Btw me personally i like when you break the vids up like you did with the rv. 1day bathroom then next day floor stuff like tht i like to see the whole process 🔥💯🖤.

The storage underneath is better than some store bought beds with storage...Very clever indeed 😀😀😀

10:41 "As I slide in and give you continuous contact" I'll go home... that jazz coming in just surprised me... felt all smooth for a continuous moment...

You are very talented!! Beautiful build!

Nice build. Regarding the bed; is it possible just to add an retractable extender , so when camping you could sleep in full bed mode?

Awesome vid…so enjoy how you’ve grown your KZfaq. Enjoy what you love & people will watch…looking forward to the next vid!

Also something to combat condensation from the weather. But definitely you are on the right path. With all of your builds

Well done man! Only thing is those two 90 degree metal edges on the back look dangerous. Definitely will hit your head there or scratch yourself. Other than that, looks amazing well dont brother!

Well...you can rent your RV out as "on the water" now lol

Respect 🤜🏽🤛🏽 I am a general contractor and a weekend vanlifer. You my friend did some of the cleanest work I’ve seen!! Awesome cinematography as well!! Looking forward to more awesome videos!!

Love watching your videos and the remodelling/building of these trucks/campers.I'm in my70s,this is more entertaining than most of the people and things I see on KZfaq.

This is nice.. Simple & easy for any unplanned camping or for just a short trip. You don't have to put too much work on setting your tent. Just park the vehicle & start your activities.

Genius layout, meticulous construction, esthetically pleasing. 🌺

Very cool, although a long bed truck would be ideal for a conversation like this. But very cool to see you turn a daily driver into a stylish camper!

Far more entertaining like this!! Keep it up. Love to just chill and watch these!

You should build trailers for other people and take video of it at the same time. You have a god given talent to do amazing things! I wanna see bigger builds from you Mr😁 Get it done!!

So cool! That turned out so awesome. Enjoy your trip to Colorado.

All you need is a team to train and leave a legacy, maybe grandkids or family who can adopt that passion God have you.

I love how far your skills have come. I would love to see more aluminum fabrication.

I remember when he was just starting the you tube channel.. I knew he will make it huge .. this guy have a great talent.. quality, craftsmanship, attention to detail.. congratulations!!🤙🤙🤙🤙

Excellent build. Thanks for sharing. You are a master of your craft. Very inspirational.

This project looking sick DualEx got all the skills 🐐 camper restorer

slide out cutting board to stove top slide out. BRILLIANT!!

God bless u Dualex May the Lord continue to keep u!!!!

To me, how you build these things are magic! Loved your videos! I've seen like 3 of them now. Hehe. Nice! Keep going!

You have a talent, keep it up. Nice to see true DIY artists on here.

I love seeing your videos from start to finish,I have lots of time,just like when you watch a movie you want to see all of the movie not half,keep up the great videos.👍🏾

WHOA!! Glad I stayed till the end!! Lighting another ciggy.

Nice Hulk move at the end!

Great build. Enjoying the extra vids.

Such an inspiration… By watching your vids i Upgraded my RV so much

I’ve heard of living off the grid but a camper in the middle of a “lake” takes it to a new level. Lol 😝. Great work!

Hoping you vlog a trip in this!! The whole thing is genius! The drawer system, with countertop, storage...so smart!!

Great idea, love the build. Lumber prices are ridiculously high right now.

Amazing skills! Officially addicted to your videos!!!

the cook drawer extension is genius. great build

I enjoy watching him build things. He is so creative in everything do he do.

Hopefully in the near future Ryobi or DeWalt become a sponsor of the channel.

Your craftsmanship is number one!

That is the best truck camper build I've ever seen. Congrats.

Thank you for making these videos, and showing us how to build these items as well. You are doing great.👍

My Man! Killin the Skillz! Keep Rising.

You are fun too watch! It’s a shop teacher thing. RWB ❤🎉

Loving the technique of the wood working.

That's a very cool, lightweight bed/kitchen setup. In the end ripping shirts off, I had a good laugh of the incredible Halk!

Your skills and creativity are so impressive. Thank you for sharing with us. 💕

Awesome build I've seen start to finish that truck came out awesome thanks for the sharing 👍👍

Love watching you build and the way you think about and explain why.

That double drawer slide is a dope kitchen idea.

This dude isthe best hands down. Creativity meets reality and complete functionality,

Once again another masterpiece. Great job. It is great all the positive KZfaqrs who support him. You all rock

I like the top opening up. Reminds me of the master bed in my old camper trailer. Idea thought, I seen it in another video, use the u bolts in the front of the truck bed to hold down the drawers frame and you can slide the drawers out fully.

Thats bad ass cant wait to see it when your done keep up the good work and stay safe

You did an awesome work on that build! Thanks for the tip on how to bind the aluminum together! Much appreciated. 👊

You are a very talented young man. Thanks for sharing your work.

I would suggest (for this version of the build) two "corner" platforms for 1 gal water jugs -- and a few low voltage fans. Maybe make it so the side "doors" can open a few inches at the bottom and then have a bank of fans that flip down to fill the space. It would reduce your "stealth" - but it is going to get hot with no ventilation. Your power bank could run them for days as well as the LEDs I am sure are next.

Absolutely beautiful finish

Also I suggest boat insulation for your truck bed camper after you have sealed off everything. Also helps when talking comfortability.

"Will come back..let it inflate cuz it looks really dinky right now." Funny, I hear that same line from my wifey quite often.
