Ep. 6: Failed Full Pop-Up Truck Camper, Conversion to a Wedge Pop-up, Final Touches

In the final episode of the build series for my Lightweight, DIY, Pop-up Truck Camper, we put the pop-up walls together and attempted the full pop-up. After a couple of failed attempts, we ultimately converted the camper to a wedge pop-up design. This video also contains our approach to custom windows and some finishing interior details.

In this video, I mention a couple of products that I purchased on Amazon for this build on my Toyota Tacoma. (*I am an Amazon affiliate and may earn with qualifying purchases.)
