As the "Other Couple", just wanted to say it was a pleasure to cross paths with the Green Bean Queen at Silver Springs State Park. We very much enjoyed the visit with you and your friends Bob & Maureen, thank you for the hospitality. May our paths cross again soon (Maybe the FL RV Supershow). Carry on in good health. Darrin, Cheryl & Gabby(Our green bean princess).

As much as you like that skylight, there will be times that you don’t want to hear the rain pounding, or more importantly, you don’t want the summer heat. Sorry to say, the shade doesn’t help much. A piece of reflectix makes all the difference!

Have you considered getting a front bumper that has a hitch receiver that allows you to put a bike rack, cargo box, generator... that's what we have on our Ford F350, we bought a Ranch Hand front (and matching rear) bumper with the hitch receiver. Plus the bumpers are very sturdy and all the sensors were accommodated by the bumper manufacturer.

I would consider having that feature now I've seen it actually being used. Are you still using enjoying it? Glad you picked up a topper for the mattress. Its always hard to change what you sleep on.

Does your water compartment have a hole in the bottom so that you can fit the hose up through it and keep the door closed on windy nights? If so, you can use an elbow fitting to avoid bending the hose near the connection. Also, adding a quick release fitting makes life easier for those of us with old and weak hands. I envy your oven placement. I have a Lance 865 and have to use a step stool to safely access heavier meals. I have to eat my Wheaties before replacing the sheets, but love that skylight you have! Can't wait to see more.

Greetings from New Zealand. I am a 66 year old single male. I am currently living/travelling in my fully self contained 4.3m caravan. Before this I had a 9m motorhome (12 Months) and a 7m motorhome (also 12 months). Have now been in the caravan for 3 years. I like the caravan because I have the tow vehicle as a daily driver when parked up. I used to A-frame (flat tow) a Suzuki Grand Vitara behind the motorhomes, but find the caravan a lot easier to hook up to the tow vehicle than the Suzuki was to the motorhomes. Especially as I am by myself. Surprising just how heavy an A-frame is when you are trying to connect it to both the tow and towed vehicles. How do you think a slide-on camper (truck camper) would suit a person as they get older, primarily getting in and out of the bed? Cheers and safe travels.

@@CareyOnVagabond I think New Zealand probably has the most caravans/campervans/motorhomes per 1,000 population of anywhere in the world, although I have no official figures to back that up 🙂. But they are everywhere. However slide-on (truck) campers are not very common. However there are quite a few smaller (Fuso, Isuzu etc) motorhomes that have the main bed over the cab. This has never appealed to me because the height from floor to bed level would be far higher than a vehicle like yours. I have only recently started thinking about slide-on campers. The option of being able to take the camper off is very appealing. You might like to look at GrizzlyNbear Overland on KZfaq. Leigh (Australian) and Steffi (French) have travelled all over the world in their Landrover Defender 130 fitted with a slide-on camper.

What kind of topper did you add to the bed?
@CareyOnVagabond
@CareyOnVagabond Жыл бұрын
It’s a two inch memory foam topper for a queen sized bed. We had it in the van and don’t recall where we got it or the brand. Had to cut a few inches off as our mattress is a short queen.

We are considering switching over to truck camper life and really enjoy your channel! Choosing the right truck has been challenging, is your Ram a 2500 or 3500?

Ours is a 2500 but they are not all created equal and have varying payloads. A 1 ton is a safe bet for most campers. Check the weight of the camper you want first.

I think I'll just be happy today! (And every day following!) Just another great video guys. I'm may have to reassess my thoughts on a pop up camper versus a hard sided camper. You have already created a very liveable space. And it's early days still. In no time at all, you will have kitted out your rig just they way you need it. As for the surprise in the back seat, it's either a foldable kayak or a very large case of canned green beans. Oops, I said green beans, you'll have to give Pistol some green beans now. My bad! Sorry. Carey On...and Be Happy! ;)

Honestly last year there were so few trucks available we boiled it down to any ford or dodge that had enough payload to handle the camper we wanted. It was slim pickings:)

What type of suspension mods did you find you needed? I know you love your dog but a bit too much of it on this video. Had to forward a bunch to get to actual info. I know that’s touchy talking about people’s pets but…
