  1. I added solar to my DIY hard walled pop-up camper, and will be doing much more soon!

    Hello! I don't know if any of you remember this build, but I had been posting videos here a while back. Life got pretty hairy and working on the camper became more therapeutic than hobby. I just didn't have the capacity to make videos there for a while but I'm ramping back into it. Here is the...
  2. Need help figuring out fuses; discrepancy between owners manual and service manual

    I'm trying to tap into accessory power and am having trouble reading the manuals to tell which fuses are okay to tap into. The owners manual says fuse 1 and 2 are completely unused: But my service manual says fuse 1 is used: How do I make sense of this? Is it still okay to tap into this...
  3. My DIY Maverick camper pops up and down now! So close to getting it on my Maverick, hope it's ready for climbing season.

    In this video I installed some gas struts so the roof can open and close on its own while also pulling the somewhat heavy hard insulated walls open. I used aluminum flat bar and some steel marine hinges to attach the walls to the roof. I also saved a family of ducks in the process 😁 Hope you...
  4. Hybrid + Victron 500VA DC/AC inverter + EcoFlow Delta 2... thoughts?

    I'm building a camper for my hybrid and am looking to snag an Ecoflow Delta 2 but noticed something interesting about the potential setup. If I buy an Ecoflow Delta 2, in the future I would like to add an inverter to charge off of the car (ideally fast charging when driving between...
  5. Anyone know what will happen if I try to unscrew the painted torx bolts and remove the housings for the tailgate?

    Currently working on a camper that will involve a tailgate removal. Removing these little housings would actually help me out a lot. Anyone know what would happen if I tried to unscrew these painted over bolts and remove the housing? Would I end up damaging my paint in any significant way? Is...
  6. How do I move or add another third brake light when adding a DIY canopy?

    I'm building a camper that sits on the bed like a canopy and will extend over the cab and therefore block the third brake light. Is there a best practice or known product for adding a third brake light to the back of my camper? Do people usually just hook into the wiring harness for the trailer...
  7. DIY pop-up camper build part 3: Folding wall system

    Hey all, here's the latest progress on my pop-up camper build. I decided to make a new thread because each video will be focusing on a completely different part of the build. This way the threads can be more focused, this one being about the folding wall system. I just finished building the...
  8. I'm building a DIY pop up camper for my Maverick. Just made a short video of my progress if anyone is interested

    Hey, I'm building a pop up camper for my Maverick and just put together a little video showing the assembly of the frame. The frame is made of extruded aluminum and will have ACM panels on the sides. I'm going to have folding walls (inspired by Hiatus campers) which I'm super stoked to work on...
  9. Bed rail/side plastic trim weight capacity?

    I'm planning on mounting a roughly 400 lb camper to the back of my truck. With two people sleeping it will be about 600lbs on the bed sides. I took the side trim off to see if mounting without it would work, but sadly it doesn't look like it. I did notice something interesting though. The trim...

  11. Carplay and general software issues investigation

    Has anyone else experienced any Carplay issues and general software using an iPhone (11 pro, iOS v17.1.2) over usbc? I am having a really frustrating time. I would say at least one of the issues listed below occurs about ~20% of the time I try to use my phone. The most common issue is the first...
