On all the Fords I have owned with an oil life monitor, the manual just says to change the oil when the monitor tells you to. The monitor will tell you to change the oil one year after you last had it changed regardless of distance driven.

I have decided to sell this camper. My son won't have time for camping for another 2 years so I will make him one when he is ready. So I need to sell this one to pay for my next project. I put a lot more work into building this camper than any of my teardrop creations but there is a limited...

My latest video- (2) 296 lb Hardshell Maverick Truck Camper-All in the bed DIY composite camper. - YouTube

As much as I would like to start a business building things like this, I do it as a hobby. At 70 and retired I just enjoy building RV's. I have some fun with them then I sell them as used and that gets me money to build the next toy. This one will eventally go to one of my sons.

Sorry about the lighting it's kind of a half sunny day today.

294 lbs all in. Weigh better than I hoped for! Just weighed it on the scale at the dump. Last week I weighed the truck with a full tank of gas at 1830 KG. Today I weighed the truck with...

I will get an exact weight tomorrow. Pretty sure it will be less than 350 lbs but I am adding all the wiring and solar panel to get an honest number.The battery has not arrived yet but I know what that weighs. Thanks for the reply.

For some reason I only have the picture with the foam covered by the comforter. I will be putting the foam back in tomorrow for some more trimming so I will post some pics tomorrow. Thanks for the reply.

I am finishing a build for my Maverick. To take advantage of avaiable space, it is a drop in instead of a slide in. I will get an accurate weight on tuesday but I am expecting under 400 lbs. It is made of Filon fibreglas and styrofoam. A rear slide out gives about 7 feet of interiour space. I...

I kind of got side tracked today. I was going to lay out the electrical but while I was vacuuming up the mess from installing the front window I started dreaming up different ways to put the foam in the camper with the slideout in the travel position. So after about 5 trys I came up with this...

Thank you. The shop is a Shelter logic 22' by 32 ' peak style. I added wooden framed ends and the roll up door. It has a heavy duty PVC cover and has held up very well for 10 years now.

2018 Honda HRV AWD. Nice practical vehicle but I have always wanted a small truck. 2024 2.0 Ecoboost AWD FX4 with 4K tow and copilot 360.

I have now completed the seals for the slideout,got the bed cushions made by Foamite, and installed a small fixed glass front window. Next step is to put it back on the truck to check for leaks and install some wiring.

Get them to look underneath. All FX4 packages are AWD.

No lettering on the tailgate of my FX4 (2024)

Here is my latest video. I have finished cleaning off the excess glue from the seams inside the camper and caulked all the seams. I decided to go with custom made cushions instead of the false floor idea and I demonstrate the amount of headroom. watch

What will happen with the truck camper is I will build a trailer to tow behind it that will hold my motorcycle and whatever camping gear I want to take. But for a weekend trip the gear will be under the bed in the truck camper. My wife and I do long haul camping in this rig- 2017 Ford Transit...

My latest video (13) Ford Maverick truck camper-All composite construction-latest update - YouTube I have built 4 RV's, one full size and full featured and 3 composite construction teardrops. My youngest son has a 2022 AWD Maverick came up with the concept of a truck bed camper that you can...

LOL nope I am a giant at 5'8". But the point of this build is it is basicaly a teardrop trailer in the back of a pickup truck.And in the main part of the cabin the height is 47" and that is more than a typical teardrop because the ceiling is mostly flat where a teardrop is a continuous curve

One of the windows is an escape window. Additionally you cant close the tailgate with the slide out. Thanks for the reply.
