    Like the build. As an RV tech myself, I think of a few things that some people may not. Like the space between the bed sides and the frame rails. Some models of trucks have the perfect amount of room to mount a battery tray, box and then a deep cycle battery to run things. Then possibly stick a propane tank on the other side if you want. A class B conversion van that's factory built by an RV company can give lots of inspiration. If you use that in winter, a small tent stove that you can put the exhaust out the window for heat is an option. Also, if you're able to run dual batteries in the truck under the hood, get the tray and install a deep cycle battery instead and then use an RV trombette solenoid to isolate it. It will click on to charge the battery when the truck is running and then off when parked to keep from draining the starting battery. Plus they usually come with an "emergency start" button which will allow you to boost the truck using the deep cycle battery.

    Great video. I think I still would have used the aluminum shelf toy built for the cooker and used the space you have for the cooker as more storage or even a pull out sink if that makes sense. It looks amazing man. Very nice build.

    Maybe I'll build a drawer on my next one. I bet you replaced that mattress by now. I'm running 4 inches thick. Mine's about same height, but my knees and arms bump the window or the curtain on my window so I slid a cut piece of corrugated plastic down the side that comes up about 6 inches above the bedrail. Now I'm figuring out how to seal the gate so dust stops and cold air from the gate top corner. I use my bed more for drunk nights at friends then fishing so far...

    Slow down the intro.... I was taking extreme notes🥺 I mean extreme. I don't have the depth but this is awesome🥺 space and what I want to see. Pull out under rail and then (smack) slide underneath stainless steel table under the draw pull out🤯😱. Not thing on your level. Plus the storage space is close to what I wanna do but water bottles and and a pump water system is gonna be there for me just not sure how good the pump is yet. Oh the stove to burn as well. So that made me take more space in the rear of my truck. Wow🤯😱🤔🤨👍😫😁👏👏 good step up.

    Really really like this build. The thing that bugs me most about these slide out builds though is that I would add adjustable leg supports at the end just to help it not put so much pressure on everything. I know you got the big bad ass locking slides but being me I'd put some thing there. Never know when someone might lean on it and you hear a big crack.
