Truck Camper Tour | Young Couple Traveling & Living Off The Grid

- This is a full tour of our truck camper. We are traveling and living off the grid full-time in less than 100 sq ft , and we love it! The RV life has its perks, and one is being able to customize the way a person wants to live. With the solar panels, compost toilet, and all propane appliances we are all set, and so we said goodbye to RV Parks..WOOHOO!! We are also traveling with our Pit Bull, Nala, who seems to love her new tiny home! Our truck camper is a 1979 Fliteway, and our truck is a 1996 Chevy 2500 Full Size Extended Truck which runs and drives great! This camper may look tiny, but it's very spacious on the inside, and we can also fit anywhere as we travel!

You two have put the smartest layout for camper truck out there...some camper van dont even hv toilet.
Alia Sahar shower ❎
Itz Ajla but its on the 4x4 truck.
This is not RV or camper van.their space is very limited compared to camper van.
@@user-di9po3bm3m they have a shower hose connected to the generator I think that's what it's called . They use it outside
Capri cowboy and retreat campers are just as good if not better
My girlfriend and I traveled through every state in the lower 48 last winter after graduating from college. Our home was a '95 Fleetwood Elkhorn (9ft) on a long box '97 Dodge 2500 Cummins. It took us about four months :) We stayed in Walmart parking lots, truck stops, rest areas, and free campsites most of the way. Incredible experience, and now we can say that we lived together in a camper for four months, and drove it through the heart of most of the biggest cities in the US. The roof peeled back three times, the bed got wet from a few downpours in the south, and the pipes froze when we ran out of propane on an 8 degree night in Vermont. Nothing quite like traveling with your house on your back :)
I lived in my 5th wheel with my two dogs after my husband passed. I thought it would be hard going from a 3 bedroom house but once you downsize is so wonderful
Sorry for your loss. I hope you enjoy your new life's decision. I am looking to do this myself with my mom and my pom-chi. We are both older and don't need much and I love to travel.
t c so very sorry for your loss I don’t know what I do if I lost my husband is truly the love of my life I think that sometimes I would sell our trailer and take my poodle he loves to travel if you ever have a CZcams channel let me know I would love to see your ventures I pray that you’re happy I know how it feels to love someone so hard I pray that you’re OK
Terri Colarusso - I’m reviewing these things now for my future
More space than I thought would be there.
Any man who finds a woman to share this life with is BLESSED.
Man....to find a lady that is willing to live like this is a true blessing. Happy for you two :)
9:45 look at the doggo just chillin’
I am loving your RV camper because it looks so much bigger on the inside then it does the outside and from the looks of things you got a lot of hidden gems in there y'all built that very well together I hope you all keep safe and being able to being travel is a good thing....
You are right, it looks a lot bigger on the inside! Thanks for the comment 😀
It's a tardis!
Love those old retro campers! Back in the '80s I traveled from Virginia to Kansas and back in a camper just like this over a two week period......it was a blast!
Very cool. We've considered a truck camper, we've currently got a heavy 30footer. I think I'd run a shower hose out of the old sewer line. Buy a little hinge door at any camping place and put in an outdoor shower. If you are at the beach you could wash the sand off your feet, or put up one of those outdoor shower tent things.
If i ever get a chance i would love to live like this. I bet it would help with my anxiety
Miss Kelly I was thinking the same thing. I also have really bad anxiety. Hope you have better days.
Ladies Whit all the respect in the world! in my case I deal with my anxiety with a bottle of Jack Daniels!!!🤗

I've tried talking my husband into selling our house and leaving. He won't have it. But I may just follow my dreams on my own some day.
wanda Getz I hope he finds out that you commented this
I couldn’t stop watching nala. She’s the sweetest omg
To be a 96, that Chevy is clean
You are right..most are all rusted out!
Dean Wilcox yes we have a 96 chevy blazer...had things fixed but omg she still running!
Chevys suck
@@mccal77 my uncle has a 92 with zero rust and +320k miles on it and it still has the original engine and transmission. I've never understood the Chevy's are junk comments, seems like if you take care of them they last forever.
J. Sakic some with dodge I see them with 350k on them with original engine and transmission
I have lived in a 2012 lance truck camper slideout Cummins gen solar for over a year now. I take it to both my jobs. And park around town. Its pulled by my 1996 dodge ram 2500 v10 4x4 long bed extended cab long bed over load spring kit and over load airbags. I am not doing it because everyone else is. I am 23 single and have wanted to live in one since I had to when I was younger. I love it.
It also has a dry bathroom. Satilite dish and TV antenna. Skylight over the bed. Microwave and oven. Its the 4 seasons package so its set for winter summer. My generator runs off propane. And that can run my Ac unit and microwave. It has 2 5 gallon propane tanks. The water gray and black water tanks have a heating system in them so they don't freeze. It also has a 5 gallon propane hot water tank
Haven't heard the Fliteway name in years! A buddy's dad had one just as I was getting out of high school back in the '70s. Great video. Love the dog. Continued safe travels.
It has three jacks for stability. Four would wobble if the ground was unlevel. That's why three points are used for shooting benches and camera tripods.
With the very high cost of living in most parts of the U.S. this is a good way to live while you enjoy traveling...way to go you two congratulations! thanks for sharing. I myself have been living rent and mortgage free since 2008....love it!
Quetzal T.V. but what kind of job or how about health insurance or ? Curious?
Pretty sure you'll still need to have a source of income - a job/passive income to sustain you. Doing this type of lifestyle just prevents paying for rent or mortgage. Id rather do this as a single person or a couple - no kids, rather than stress out about paying for bills. High amounts of monthly payments keep people broke and stressed.
You could literally grab you food from your fringe on your bed literally goals
At 9:47 the dog just chillin in the back is soooooo cute
I was a construction worker and did a lot of traveling between cities. Eventually instead of doing the motel scene I invested in a 1978 13-1/2' overhead camper that sat on a 1979 f-150 4x4 just under $2600 at first I had to beef up the suspension and do some wiring other then that I was good to go. Since then I have built several units and done a tone of traveling... Now I am retired and currently building my newest camper with all the basic amenities to sustain a normal life style. Thanks for sharing your video and best of luck.
You have done well with your Camper. Keep having fun.
This reminds me of a cabover i bought 16 yrs ago for $200.00. It was 16 ft long and i ended up pitting hellwig helper springs on my '87 3/4 ton. After a complete overhaul, that camper was worth every penny and hours of time dedicated to the rebuild. Glad to see someone else has the same passion as i did
I love your little home on wheels! You've utilized the space really well and it feels so cosy. Plus you have a shower and toilet! Your doggie is adorable. 😍
do we know each other?
There's no shower
@@goofyfuhh5877 you shower outside, so a shower head and curtains.
When you can be happy living this small you have broke free from the systems. Who said we have to have a 6k sq ft house to be happy. Happy is a inside job , love it👏👏👏✔❤🙌🏽
Hey guys! Love your videos. The camper has two legs on the drivers side because of the extra weight of appliances etc. on that side. Also y’all should set up a patreon page so you can get sponsorship from your viewers to help fund you. Also set up a Vimeo page.
Four jacks provide a more uniform load distribution when the jack positions have been matched to the ground. During loading / unloading, the newer electric jacks synchronize their motion, preventing one jack from not supporting its share or becoming airborne (consequently stressing the camper and posing a safety risk). But for older, manual jacks, using three eliminates the risk when loading/unload that one jack is not loaded, (unstable&stressing the frame) - Three points DEFINE a plane.
Once she came on I forgot I was watching a video on a camper 😅😅😅😅
Back in the day, late 60s, ya'll would have been called Hippies. I lived like that for a while, but had a Chevy van. No solar, no heater, no A/C, no running water. But what I did have was FREEDOM. It lasted just over a year, but what a year!
That looks perfect. I just retired. For now, I'm going to explore America in an "Oldie" car. But, for all the options, a camper looks like a great idea.
The camper is definitely a great idea! Sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun! 😀
Nice job guys. God be with you both as you journey 😎
Thanks 😀
My fiancé and I lived in a 26 foot fifth wheel for 2 years. It was a 96 Jayco. It had everything we needed including ac and heating. But summers were still miserable. We both worked full time and would come home to a boiling hot trailer and like any other ac it would take a while to get to cooling. With the limited amount of space we were miserable. As of June 1 we have been out of that trailer and into our own apartment..and it’s so weird because when we sold it we were both sad. Me a little more than him. I felt actual grief. Now I find myself watching more and more of these videos on CZcams lol
I don’t know much about campers but I do know math (masters degree in it) and mathematically 3 points is the optimal way to stabilize the unit. It takes 3 points to define a plane (surface) and adding more points actually destabilizes it which is why a 3-legged chair won’t wobble but a 4 legged one will. :)
So I'm just being curious here, do you think 3 points will optimize any plane? I'm thinking that there is something to be said about surface area, and pressure points. Three points on a rectangular surface may stabilize the camper but if those points are not located at the proper places the three points will result in a tipping stored camper, especially if there is more pressure on an unsupported point. That being said, I'm sure the third leg is most likely engineered for such occurrences, and also for ease of maneuverability when the truck backs in for hookup to the camper.
....I honestly didnt need to know that you had a masters degree.....
Well done on your degree. And pointing it out helps give creedence to your reply. Very educational. Thanx.
I don’t have a Masters degree in math. But I did save up to 15% by switching to Geico.
The camper can be supported and levelled on uneven surfaces. It's a good design.
Three legs is lighter weight and always stable....this is why it was done during the days... thanks for he share.
I know it's a deadly sin but I'm so green with envy, I glow in the dark. I grew up camping in an Alaska camper---- oh how hings have changed! Thank you for sharing your lives. Blessings!
I just watched a video from 9 months ago when you were chased by thugs. All I can say is that "it takes a real man to use his head" you made the right choice by avoiding conflict. You just might have saved you and your family's life that night. I applaud you for doing what you did🙂
May your travels be plentiful and blessed!!!
This was an excellent video showing the nooks and grannies! And I must compliment you sir, your lovely wife is absolutely beautiful and I love hearing her talk and explaining things. Just a sweet warm wonderful kind beautiful lady! And for the guy that does not like the sound of her voice, well he needs to go outside somewhere and listen to the sound of a chainsaw running or something, hahaha! Best wishes in your travels, please stay safe always and you and your beautiful wife enjoy your time to get! :-)
What a respectful and very warmhearted comment.
Low key perv
I usually don't like anything less than 22 feet vans because it is crammed. But yours is fabulous. You have thought of almost everything. You already have a bathroom door which separates it from the living area. So if you convert the entrance doorway into a shower the water can flow out in boondocking areas.
A truly special camper in the care of the right owners. Sláinte
Thanks😀
Road Dog True that, so sweet when some vintage camper(maybe older than these awesome young people?!) should've found it's forever people, and "cute face" Nala, too!
Three Jacks because three won't ever wobble and is the most stable. You bought a camper with a great support design!
So cute and cozy looking
“Aaaand” omg take a shot every time she says “aaaand” jkjk bit this video was great
you sir are an incredibly blessed man, well done.
My sons name is Joe, I wish he could be more like you, and I hope you both go to church and keep loving God, because you wont find a lady like your wife anywhere. She is a keeper. Nice to see an AC and fans and a toilet room. Great video.
She is so pretty
And your wife looks beautiful also.
He is fighting above his weight class.
Tru dat
I got a 1995 Chevy k1500. I have a Capri camper on top spray painted camo lol. It’s a pretty cool rig. Very simple. No grey water tank just flows out the truck.
Charming couple, charming video!
Cute girl. Not demanding. Rare find
I like that you have a pitbull many people don't get them because they think they are terrible. But i think there amazing
The dog in the background at 9:50 hahhaha
Kiwi Productions I know right she just chilling
thank you kids..... makes me want to do the same to my truck and go live a little... nice set up also. never knew there was so much room to be added for so little on a pick up truck.
You know, for such limited space, you guys have utilized it very well! There are more cabinets and tuck-away areas than one realizes...kudos to your knowledge of organizational techniques! Very very nice home you got there 👍👌✌🏻😎🎄🎅🏼
Getting rid of more stuff also made it a lot easier! Thanks 😀
The Mobile Hobos You two are true downsizers! I've seen RV's that are super PACKED with stuff - in about 150 or 200sq ft! The Japanese have a word called "Chibuwi"... it means simplicity without all the unnecessary extras! Why have a small space, if you wish to pack it wall to wall with "stuff"?
Love the way you two think & live 👍👌✌🏻😎
The camper has 3 legs because it is easier to set up on a non flat surface. If you had 4 legs and you were on rough ground, one of the legs might be in the air and make the whole thing a bit unstable, kind of like when you have a wobbly table and have to put a bit of paper under one of the legs.
😍😍😍 to the camper, dog and girl
I wanted to thank you both for your videos. I have some back and other health issues and by watching your channel I was able to see what was required to actually live in a camper about your size. I really need a small area like your camper to be able just to handle myself. I just bought a 94 S&S 8CBR...cheap. Needs couple windows which is easy, new propane tanks, put in AC for Arizona where I plan to go to live, battery, solar power system for 110 enough for AC etc. But all doable. In about two years I'll be ready and will head out. Thanks for all the information.
Who thought the intro was two cars about to hit....me
⬇
IVE NEVER BEEN SO IMPRESSED WITH HOW MUCH SPACE SOMEONE CAN CRAM INTO SUCH LITTLE AREA. I LOVE YOUR SETUP, ITS BEAUTIFUL. WHAT MORE COULD ANYBODY WANT?😎
A lot more space and storage than I would have thought. Cool. 😀
Who would know! Thanks 😀
I have a capri truck camper
I like camping on my lot at work cause I live 50 miles one way to my job.much better than a travel trailer
.
Hi guys! Long time no speak...Really enjoyed this tour...Looks very doable and livable...Happy Holidays and Happy New Years. :))
Yes it's been a little while :).. glad to hear from you! It definitely is livable.. thanks😀! Happy Holidays!
Mari Rodriguez it's long time no see
Those 350s never die. My 5.7 vortec has 662,000 miles and o ph one rebuild.
Your dog at 9:51 😂
I love what you did with your camper. I have a truck camper myself. I find I'm usually the only one with a truck camper at the campground.
Wheres the zeppelin albums & weed at man
Francisco Sarabia oh they are there. Somewhere. Trust me.
That tour is only for Patreon supporters.

Lol he’s not ready for that man
Francisco Sarabia he had to hide them from a gang of cowboys
As soon as he used the word, "groovy" I said to myself, "They have a composting toilet"....and they do! Cool...Old-School camper...nice
I got the same tires on my truck and they are great.
Lol after she closed the drawers and the camera pans up all I see is the doggo 😂
You guy’s are do cute, and the puppy to🙋🏻♀️😊😉
Bet it's real awkward when you guys have a bad argument. But good video very creative.
I guess it would be the same for anyone housesharing - you walk it off and come back in a better frame of mind.
@@Sunshine_day
They do not seem to argue much. He is always very complimentary of her.
I like the orange stripe, but it might be cooler if you painted it red to match the truck. Custom!
that's a pretty kool camper you have thanks for the tour ehhh
leonard burns cool

Girl: "Or in case we get sick of her cute face."
Dog: "Whatchu talkin bout bitch!"
Y’all did an amazing job on your truck camper. Merry Childhood and Happy New Year! Stay safe and enjoy the journey.
Lisa with...
Thanks Lisa! Happy Holidays 😀
Hey there. I'm impressed with how much functionality you have squeezed in to your camper. Really impressive.
Everything ... including the kitchen sink ! The amount of storage options, the still functioning furnace, air conditioning, two hatches for cross ventilation including a fantastic fan, and OVEN (FFS !) with proper burners on the stove top (with hood vent), composting loo( was that on demand water heating too? ) and showering option. I am blown away by how well you have thought about the mechanics of actually living (and eating) well and in comfort regardless of the weather outside. Well done. The fairy lights are a great idea - you are right about the homey glow. People tend to overlook the importance of ambient lighting ... it makes such a difference to the 'feel' of a place. It's all about the mood lighting right! Thank you for the tour. The outside tour could have supplied a wee bit more info eg the materials the camper was constructed with (skin and insulation), how many solar panels , amp hours, battery type etc and how you had utilised the cab of your truck. I was also curious. .. did you install a fan at the back of it for venting your loo ... I noticed it was piped up to the roof. I thought you might have used the old black water 'hole' you covered to vent and installed a fan at the back of the loo. I guess venting at roof height minimises any 'back draft'! Also wondering where you store your generator ... you mentioned needing it if you need the furnace.
I would literally go crazy living in 100 square feet everyday
The trick is to relax outside,
A set of folding chairs and a small table to enjoy dinner and breakfast really makes a difference.
You can probably leave the gray tank in it's holder and just in screw the top and put the hose in it it looked lower than the sink so should flow right in !!
I like your camper those are hard to find in that condition
It is hard to find. The company info on this camper is impossible to find anything on! It must have been a local RV company that didn't last long or something.
FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT VIDEOS LIKE THIS AND CONVERTED BUSES. IT MAKES ME WANT TO PUT THE BIG THINGS I HAVE IN STARAGE TAKE MY DOG AND GET A FEW SUITCASES, PACK UP BUY ONE OF THESE MINI RV'S AND TRAVEL.
Omg...great job on the renovations! Looks larger than I imagined.
It really is a lot larger then it looks on the outside! Thanks😀
You state that you live on less than 100 square feet. I say your truck camper is awesome! It is well thought out, and I can see that living in it can be comfortable...and free of major commitments ( mortgage etc.). I love it, good on you! By the way, at 11:47, thank you for not going ‘too technical’ on me with words like ‘solar-jingy-thing-a-ma-jig’. 🙂
Hi i just came across your channel.. LOVE YOUR TRUCK CAMPER.. You have it nicely restored & decorated.. Looks like you are taking great care of your fur baby.. I did notice something in your Bathroom cabinet.. You need to place a good plastic bag over your heater to keep dust from falling on it.. This will make it last longer..
SAFE TRAVELS
GOD'S BLESSINGS
We now have a plastic bag over the heater..thanks for the tip!!! 😃
Julie Wallace great detail of advice, thanks vicariously!

Very nice.. everything is there in this tiny house
you 2 are great!
Cute camper & set up/organization. I think in the closet that you would benefit immensely but putting in actual shelves vs the hanging fabric shelves. Love & Light
what a beautiful couple! have fun on your adventure...nice rig!
14:50 Absolutely Genius. Wow. 5 stars. Best camper ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Your dog is soo cute!!
Just imagine the freedom this young couple has touring the United States things that most people just get to dream about doing
Very good well done tour.. I'm so proud of you kids..
I just thinking that someday if someone could paint that orange stripe the same color as you're truck and customize the camper to the truck. I think that would look so cool but that's for down the road when the Lord blesses you to where you can get something like that done.... Who knows you might cross paths with a person that watches your channel that's got a body shop and they get the idea and they want to bless y'all with a custom stripe.. But that's all in God's hands.... Well I pray you kids have the most awesome Merry Christmas ever.... Be blessed... BBE 🤗🤗👍👍😀 💗
Ya that would be cool! We may just end up running into that person..never know! Thanks!
The Mobile Hobos, sweet setup, you three! If I had your setup and felt the need to customize paint, I would keep the orange and match the truck to the camper! lol. I probably wouldnt worry because it looks pretty good on here. Safe travels!

I have one just like yours. It's a 1974 Indian Winnebago Camper😃 Me and my boyfriend love it so much❤ we have on a 1995 Ford F150 Pickup Truck😇
9:46 that dog XD
I really love how cute and vintage it looks. The only downside to Truck campers are: not being able to go into your tiny home without going outside (this decreases stealth if you're urban stealth camping or just need to flee a scene right away lol). Secondly, not having the ability to lounge on a bed or sofa with doors wide open to a view. With this you're always having to sit outside with camping chairs.
Love the boho look of this though!! ❤✌👽
Nice RV
Nice rv
That's the most polite dog I've ever seen and in the presence of guest.
Dude how in tf do y’all find the hot babes that are down to ride or die?!? I’m in an rv and I only have my dog...
Brandon Jackson I keep seeing videos like this thinking the same 😂 so many gold diggers that would never think of moving into even a really large rv let alone this camper
Lone Surviver I know right😄 maybe I should just buy a small van and make myself look rich so a beautiful girl will live with me! But for real every video a seen has a hat girl in it..
@@joemadre9550 lol a pissed off Trumper incel
Oh my goodness they are the cutest little couple! The doggy is adorable! Happy travels! 😁
your pitbull is cute!! we now have a rescue, Baby Boy, we love the breed. Love the tour as well!.
Yall make a great team,keep on living life the way yall want.Keep safe and too hell with the haters!!!Be safe!!!
Oh wow! I've been away from your channel for a while, and so much has changed. You guys even look different. So glad to see you're still on the road though. I have a lot of catching up to do, so I'm gonna binge watch various videos to get caught up. Glad to see you're doing well. Happy Holidays :-)
Hey there you are! 😀Hope you enjoy the vids! Glad to hear from you, and thanks for watching! Happy Holidays!
I really loved seeing Young kids makeing things work in this world that we have to live your awesome God Bless and be safe and I love watching you guys be safe. Catt.🐈 Texas,
I also love your cute little dog he fits right in. Can't wait until you post the next videos and volgs to where you go next. Be careful and safe travels.

God Bless, and give me a shout-out sometimes. Catt.🐈 Texas,
Dude you scored big time on your wife. Do what you can to keep her happy.
