Touring an Amazingly Spacious Small Pop-Up Truck Camper! [VIDEO]

In this video we take a thorough look at Bill and Maureen’s 2014 Toyota Tacoma long bed with Four Wheel Campers’s Fleet model pop-up camper in the back. I love how surprisingly spacious the camper is. It felt much larger inside than it looked on the outside. You can also tell that everything is well-built and of high quality. This thing was built to last. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

I didn’t film Bill saying how much the camper cost (he told me off-camera), but If you Google “Four Wheel Camper cost,” the first result shows a 2020 Four Wheel Fleet MSRP being $19,395. That’s similar to the number that Bill told me.

Building the Ultimate Campervan for Just $7,000! [VIDEO]

This is one of the best van builds I’ve seen. Every detail has been thought through, and it was custom built to be exactly what the owners wanted. It’s a 1995 Chevy G20 van that started life off as a wheelchair van. David and Donna bought it and turned it into what seems to me would be the perfect camper van for a lot of people out there. Huge thanks to David and Donna for sharing their van with us! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Visiting Utah’s Honorary—and Unofficial—National Park [VIDEO]

In this video I visit what I consider to be Utah’s honorary 6th national park. It’s every bit as spectacular as Arches, Canyonlands, or Bryce, yet it’s not one of the “Big Five.” (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
