I love Kimbo season! It’s my favorite! I love the interior and functionality of this camper still haven’t seen it in person but hopefully one day I will!
Seeing one in person is the best!
Cool to see the kimbo back in action ✌️
Been running my kimbo the last couple weeks in north central Vermont….temps in the mid 20s. The kimbo and Dickinson heater have been awesome. My only challenge has been some condensation on the inside, particularly on the back door. I’ve cracked one window and use the small dehumidifier (from kimbo)…still working/trying multiple solutions…
What dehumidifier do you use? I have a fiberglass slide in shell with terrible condensation? Thanks
@@telcobilly I am using the small Pohl and Schmitt dehumidifier that came with the kimbo. I'm going to try the maxair fan on low and running my dickinson longer through the night. That will probably help a lot.
Water is a byproduct of propane combustion. Something you might consider, try one of the cheap diesel heaters that are all the rage right now. I know the Dickenson is permanently mounted, but might be worth a try if you really find condensation a problem.
@@krisd.9768 understand...thanks
Cool video! Your truck is looking tuff! love the new wheel and tire setup.I run a wide setup myself,love that look.Was curious how hard it is to install the Kimbo and what upgrades would be necessary to the truck.this video answers both.looking forward to the Kimbo adventures❤
Before I got the sprinter, I used to run a Northern (not very) Lite truck camper on the back of a Ram 3500. GREAT camper but a pain to mount on the truck. Everything you say about the suspension upgrades is a must. Had the same air bag system you have and it was awesome. Also, not sure if you mentioned it, but the truck has to be rated for the camper weight. Both for safety and legal issues.
Sweet camper!! I am not sure what I would change, if anything, if it was mine!
Kimbo sznnn!!
Welcome back, Kiimbo! aka MoonRover... haha... I always picture it being in outer space!
Me too! 🌕
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, I like it too and looks nice. We should get out one. How long away it is to get one and how much. I've been watching them since he was building them.
That depends on the options you choose. www.kimboliving.com/
I have a 2015 Ram but that I have any problem with that camper. 55 something on the blocks, but 2500.
"It's Kimbo season"...you prefer the truck camper over the Storyteller in the winter? Due to having the truck ability in snow?
They are very comparable now so it would be hard to choose one or the other. Kimbo for the vibes and feeling. Van for long hauls and comfort.
The irony is not lost with the "one less sprinter" sticker 😆
😎
Picked mine up about a month ago. Think it's set up from the factory about the same as yours but with a Max air fan and Bluetti AC 60 batteries. Also use the extensions for my F150. Not sure if I need to remove the batteries during the week when its cold out and Im not using the camper. Do you take the batteries out when you aren't using the camper?
If I won’t be in the camper for an extended amount of time I will because the cold takes a toll on batteries after awhile.
What's the gas mileage on the interstate with that Kimbo in there?
are those brackets aluminum? very cool solution
Yup same material the camper is made out of.
In my situation I can only have one adventure vehicle. Nothing can be everything, I get that. Since you have excellent examples of all three setup types; truck/RTT, van, truck/camper, which would you choose if had to reduce to one only. I already run an RTT on a Gladiator (Mojave) and it’s not working for me so really I’m desiring either the Mode or camper setup. What’s your pick between the two and why? Tough and detailed answer I know so thanks in advance for your attention.
Side note: given that we haunt much of the same spaces here in CO I’m surprised I’ve yet to spot you in the wild, lol.
✌🏼❤️😊
That’s a really tough choice because there are pros and cons to each. If I had to pick just one I would probably say my storyteller simply because of the community.
Thanks for your input. I’m not often accused of being a people person so that criteria probably won’t factor very high, lol. That you would find such difficulty choosing between a truck camper and a built van comforts me in that I can’t make to bad a choice. My current working options are a putting a Moonlander on the Gladiator and building it out and a Transit with a Wayfarer conversion as a starting point. Wayfarer is a Colorado Springs company with a unique vision and I’m sure you know the Radica guys up in Denver. ✌🏼❤️😊
Can u live in the kimbo 24/7 so like live in Michigan were it snow and kinda get hot summer
Yup
Will the Storyteller get any winter use or just the Kimbo?
The storyteller will definitely go on some trips… mainly skiing and longer stuff.
Hey there!
We're quite interested in your posting content. We have some car related items. Do you accept sponsored products?
how many miles have you put on the supra?
Only 5k so far. Wont be driving it much in the winter months
Dude I wish the ACTY was street legal in Colorado, I'd love to see the kimbo on a kei truck just for shits and giggles
Kimbo posted a photo on their IG of a kimbo on a Kei truck in the past. It look just as funny as you think it would 😆
@@TalonSei I'll have to go looking for it.
Waiting for all the power tool snobs to enter the chat 😂
Since you brought it up Mike…
Talon, knowing how you like the best of the best, I’m a bit surprised you’re using Ryobi power tools. That would be the equivalent of you owning Hi-Point firearms, maybe a Keltec here and a Keltec there in the pew pew world. If you want power tools that’ll more than get the job done, power tools you can be proud of…head on over to Home Depot and get yourself some Milwaukee M18 and M12 Fuel power tools, e.g. the most power 12 volt stubby 3/8” impact wrench on the market.
How’s that Mike?
Ryobi makes solid stuff and when I only use them a few times a year… if my $30 tool breaks, I’ll just go buy another one. They haven’t failed me yet.
The same Chinese company that makes Milwaukee makes Ryobi tools.
