It will probably work for every border we crossed on this trip except entering Belize and Panama. Those are strict about a health certificate within 10 days of arrival.

I was using magic seaweed, but they have since been bought by surfline. I use a combo of windy and surfline now.

My walls have a estimated r value of 4.5. Thats 5/8" of 2lbs pour foam and 3/8" of plywood. The pour foam is rated at 6.5 R for 1"

$50/day. That was on average and included everything (food, accommodation, fuel, auto repairs, border crossings, activities, car insurance, medical expenses, ect.) We were a few dollars under budget at the end of a year $18,250

Nope. ❤️

@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal ha i didn't think y'all were frequently checking this. great! hoping to drive with a dog from portland to costa rica soon and am appreciating your stuff

@@transcendcapitalism Have a great trip!

This is a T100. I definitely considered the 1st gen tundra. They are basically the same size. The tundra obviously has more power/torque and comfort, which would be nice. I went with the T100 because I could get one with 4x4, manual transmission, and manual transfer case, it gets slightly better fuel efficiency, curb weight is lower, payload capacity is higher, and since I am taking it abroad I like that it shares a lot of parts with the Hilux and a few other Toyotas that were offered outside the USA. The 1st gen Tundras have a well deserved reputation as a reliable vehicle and I suspect it may run correctly more reliably since the 5vzfe engine is so susceptible to vacuum leaks, but I'd argue the T100 is less likely to leave me stranded with its manual gearboxes, parallelogram steering, no serpentine belt, front suspension compresses balljoints, and a fully boxed frame.

Thanks I got some trailer lights to replace them and remounted them to safer and more visible location. ruclips.net/video/iqUpPH0yaV4/видео.htmlsi=B9cOFZ7oGD3umJFF&t=312

Having the ability to stand is nice and I can sleep in the cabover too. If the camper didn't pop-up I wouldn't have enough room to sleep in the cabover or use the camper very effectively at all. I built a camper in the past that had a low roof but it was really just a bed and storage space. I did consider a solar generator. My current system is more efficient, has a lower upfront cost and can be serviced or modified as needed.

It's special for sure

This is a different truck. This is my daily driver The camper can be removed. It's only 6 bolts, but lifting it off high enough to drive out from under it is a slow sketchy process without the proper tools.

Thanks Mike

I was about halfway down Baja California Sur. Weather is nice on the Pacific coast this time of year for the most part. It was still a bit extra humid from the hurricane that had passed by SW of us, but not bad

Combined gas mileage went from 19 with the stock truck empty to 15 with the loaded camper. I don't know how much of that change is from the poor aerodynamics and how much is the added weight. I'm not sure I notice much difference in handling from the height. She didn't exactly have impressive handling to begin with and I contribute the reduced handling primarily to the increased weight. It feels very similar to driving the same truck with the bed fully loaded.

@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal Yes, of course

@@TechFreezeOfficial yes you can share it on your channel. Please let me know when you have 😁

It's stored in California. I put together this setup so I could haul a bunch of stuff down to our new home in Baja. I'll be hitching a ride up to the states to get my camper and bring it down next month. Many more adventures to come with the camper 👍

😂

I definitely didn't want to spend 50k on a camper that didn't even fit my needs 😂

For sure! We just bought a composite camper shell from a BC company 17500$ Canadian, gonna build it out to our needs. So I appreciate the work all u RUclipsrs put in recording & posting the work you’ve done! Cheers!

@@Mark-id7fq I watched a ton of RUclips videos to help me through my camper project too. A great source of info and creativity that you get to mash together and make your own. Have fun building and using your project!

I've only gone camping when the weather looked nice, so I haven't had more than 20 knots of wind with the tent up. It is nice to be up off the ground when the wind gets up around 20 and the sand starts blown around a bit.

I've only experienced about an hour of light rain while camping with this tent. It stayed dry during that brief shower. The tent has a 5000mm waterproof rating, so it should stay pretty dry. Of course if you are shopping for a shelter to use in regular heavy rain I would steer away from tents in general.

​@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal I'll just add to this, this particular RTT doesn't look great for areas with more rain, the tent has no obvious ways to allow airflow while raining but the main issue is no way to enter and exit the tent while staying out of the rain.

@@sharpsticksnz4112 good point. The rear of the tent can be used as an entry point if you have room to set up the ladder over the rear of your vehicle. That would provide some decent protection from rain, but not everyone will be able to do that. The only solution to this I've seen on other tents is to have some sort of vestibule/ overhanging flap above the doors, but this adds to the setup/breakdown process so there is a little tradeoff there.

The camper shell is bolted to the bed rail. I've done a couple thousand miles on the highway and a couple hundred miles off-pavement without issue, but a support down to the frame would be a good idea to prevent bed spreading if I decide to keep the tent on the truck.

wardrobe malfunction 😳

I think I could, but it would definitely need to squish into the matress pretty tight. And it'd be a little awkward getting it back out of the tent from the ground when I am trying to set the tent up. If the truck was shorter or I was taller it would be a good solution

with out the ladder getting into the tent could be a Olympic event
