51's Crazy Camping Box Tour

[Irvinec32]

Did you think about using a split door on the back, so when the tail gate is up you could open 1/2 of the door?

That is a great idea.

Did you consider having an access port on the driver's side to access the power inverter in the truck bed should you need 120v? Of course that's provided you have that option on you Maverick.

The power station under my bed has 120v power.

Would make a great portable hunting blind!

thinkin a clothes hanger bar or dowel over the foot pull out may work - for your camping duds

Haha, it can double as a closet! I was thinking of putting a shelf there that fits another one of those collapsible bins.

watched your youtube again; would there be any advantage to building a " workbench," for lack of a better word, the same height as the Mav bed- with castor wheels. Then rolling it up to the open tailgate and sliding the camper in. Plus when not using the camper you could roll it around the garage for easy storage. a thought?

Oh that's true, I forgot about that you did show that in the video. Still it would be a good back if you ever needed it. Overall, I really like your design! It was very well thought out!

I thought about that. It will definitely be of value! Just not sure I need it enough since I won't be taking on and off that often.

Really clever idea to use the cover as the roof/sun roof! Keep up your creative thinking - great job!

 

[Jim D]

You are very creative especially inventive with slide out bed function tonneau roof and filming techniques. It’s enjoyable and enlightening.
Keep up your good work.

I your home-built compact camper and your video for your Mav Ditto on all the compliments from everyone, and yes, how cool would it be if you were able and inclined to patent and secure manufacturing for this concept and put into production, even on a limited built-to-order scale!

You also got a chuckle out of me at this point:

Lastly, I realize white will keep temps a bit cooler in the sun, but how about painting to match your Area 51…?

Thanks again for the fun video!!!

Thanks!
I may paint a different color if I decide to re-do the outside. But paint won't adhere well to poly wall.

I remember watching one of your earlier videos with just the framing, I think. You are the perfect amount of mad genius. I thought about doing something similiar but instead, I am looking into an old military s250g shelter with light weight trailer frame. Should be about 1000 lbs with shelter and trailer, try to keep under 500 lbs of gear in there and I am well below the 2000 lb tow rating with about 36 sqft of space
