Two week old Monk seal playing near the shore with his Mom. Joyful to watch, he is so playful. However, his survival will be a challenge. We kept our distance per guidance from the wildlife volunteers. It is important to not disturb monk seals as they are endangered and wild. This includes respecting roped off areas and listening to wildlife volunteers. Please learn more about monk seals here: ...
#2: How much did my 19 day, 6800 mile road trip to start Hiatus pop-up truck camper life cost?
Переглядів 5 тис.3 роки тому
After deciding to purchase a Hiatus hard-sided pop-up camper I was locked into making the trip from Washington, DC to Seattle. I completed this trip in February of 2021. In this second video in the series I breakout the costs I incurred during the trip. This video provides some context on the expenses incurred from longer road trips and truck camping, and may be beneficial for those considering...
How Much Does Our Boondock Ready Hiatus Pop up Camper Weigh? Keeping Truck Campers Below GVWR

Ruby Crest Trail Day 5: Liberty Lake to Lamoille Canyon (N. Terminus)
I watched to observe the set up and takedown procedure….. nope.
The cinematography got feeling different and those Minecraft cosplayer! 😈
I’m new sub because I like your outdoor pics and the Hiatus. Would you buy it again if choosing? (Discount the fact that Ridgeline has limited options). I’m in a Chevy 1500 with more options but I believe the Hiatus is a top tier camper.
@Ianpixs Great video. Can you tell me about the roof exterior? Is it a solid material? I know Erin and Tyler can install Yakima roof racks and I like the idea but really curious of the top shell durability.
That's a pretty big heater for such a small space. They look really nice. A little heavier than what I want.
Do you still have this camper? how is the wear and tear after owning it for some time?
I wish you would do some tour of your bed and all.amenities on this pop ip camper i am planning the same with my honda ridgeline and was hoping to get some idea please
Does your gear/bed get wet if you fold things down and its been raining or snowing outside?
Do you need to upgrade any suspension on your Ridgeline for the Hiatus camper? My wife and I are looking into Hiatus camper also but have not decided on any truck platform yet.
Looks great! The hiatus topper is my goal too. Just wondering, what's the impact on your Honda Ridgeline's mileage after the camper is fully loaded with all gears?
🤠
New Subscriber. The number didn't change. It's still 995?
Yes YT does not seem to want to give the last few needed but we finally got 1000!
Great setup! I love my Ridgeline but it's a first gen so it's got that slanted bed rail. Needless to say camper shells are not easy to find.
Hi Lee. From DC, own a hiatus as well. It’s not your fault as an east coaster but you missed the full cost savings of your rig. 1. No need to pay for campsites anymore! BLM, National forests, rest stops. For example: goblin valley. You could have driven past little wild horse canyon and found a life changing place to sleep. I think you should come back out here and let me guide you on a trip that you’ll think about on your death bed and smile!
Thanks for posting these thoughtful videos. Just watched the one on the North Yellowstone Loop. Both of these help inspire me to figure out my camping system so I'm outdoors more. I'm shocked by the negative comments. Why does someone even watch a video when they know they don't like Hondas? I've gleamed a few ideas to use. Most importantly that I haven't been to Yellowstone for too long and I will camp and hike when I'm there rather than "just drive thru." Keep posting more videos of your adventures!
Will do, thank you! Have a great trip! Hopefully two more videos 😁
It would be nice to see folded away.....just a suggestion
Will plan to do that when we go out again. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you for taking the time to make this great video!
You are welcome!
Are you able to keep out the dust since it is not a self contained slide-in?
We have not had issues with dust. There is a fair amount of weather stripping between camper and truck bed. Not airtight but very well sealed.
Nice... Here's hoping you get your 1000. Is there a time limit? Thank you
Thank you!
Brilliant
With all that metal - like with the piano hinges - do you have condensation, wall sweating issues?
I believe a significant factor in calculating the max weight ratings are the tires. The stock tires are more suited for a mini van or sport ute, not a "pck up". If you were to upgrade to an 8 ply BFG's for example, the ride will be a little rougher but it will increase your weight rating. Please let me know if this is an incorrect assumption.
Very nice, thanks for the review! I'm interested in Hiatus campers and think it's esp. cool that they'll work with the Ridgeline (which is a mid-size truck I like but doesn't seem to be popular with too many camper shell mfgs.) Have you had any leaking issues with the hinges/joints on the folding top ?
Hi cutie 💓 at the 5:45 mark , was a dong?
I'm so currious why you said 1000wh battery. Ah is more specified to determine duration of battery😁
Hello. How is the dust in the bed ?
great vid how much did this cost?
Nice trip! I am considering purchasing a Hiatus Truck Camper. How do like it
15000$ is just too steep for just a folding camper shell. you can buy a decent teardrop travel trailer for 15000$
Nice turd cutter
Your videos are so complete with the details. I recently got a Ridgeline with the hopes of putting a camper on it for various hikes. Slideouts seem too much of a hassle and weight too. Making a trip to get Hiatus installed would in itself be a trip, I'm from the DMV area too :). I'm planning to start my design. Would to know what worked best and what didn't since you'd had it for a while. Also what other additions have you made since.
whats your mpg impact?
Tldw 460lbs for camper.
Do you have a video showing the pop top opening and closing? I want to see it happening slowly so I can get my head around how it folds / each panel stows away
Hi! Where living to go to it today and I’m wondering if anyone has ever .. got hurt by a bear?
Good job jajajajajajajajaa American superlative
2 year waiting list. ridiculous
Yeah, this is typical of a startup that doesn't have a plan to scale capacity or manage demand. Founders underestimate the difference between having a cool idea and scaling a viable, growing business. The folks at Hiatus would be better served by licensing their patent to a larger scale manufacturer.
Hello! Where is a good ocean SUP launch point in Bethany beach?
Im heading to Conley Cabin this weekend, the temps are 95+. Any advice on finding that waterfall?
Sorry just saw this - hope you found the waterfall and had a great trip! Waterfall was closest one to cabin, I think a couple of miles down the valley.
The fact that they were so commentating is really great! Thank you!!
Erin and Tyler @hiatus campers were so great to work with! Most people will continue to modify and evolve, as we did. We had a lot of camping/camper/trailer experience. For us it was about distilling down to what we needing, committing to purchase and then getting out there.
Hows it hold up to rain and wind?...the rain loud? can it blow the walls inward?..looks like that inner latch is only thing keeping walls from blowing inward....maybe have an inner cross bar from side to side to prevent that from hapening. looks cool though.
It has held up to significant winds in Kansas and beachside in Assateague. The rain is no louder than it would be in a tent ;) we have had zero leaking from the roof or side panels.
Can you keep the bed where it is and use it ?
The bed needs to be slid in to bring top down
Great price. The amount of research and development that it takes justifies. This is by far the best pop- up on the market. Hat's off from Canada.
Hi folks. Maybe want to polish the top of camper w a silicone based polish in say September. Keep ice sliding off. OR could use silicone spray monthly in winter on sunny days.//Suggest put down plastic sheet when spray the top keep driveway friction. NOTE keep silicone spray inside at room temp to get good spray pattern before use outdoors. The propellant for silicone spray cools off even in garage at 45F in winter. //I spray my snow blower flights and chutes w silicone spray so snow doesn't pack in.
I had a GFC and sold it. Some of my biggest disappointments with the camper was dealing with condensation issues and lack of insulation for winter camping. Also, the latches were awful in cold/ice and the top literally tried to crush me in the middle of the night during a snowstorm (the struts could not handle the weight of the snow). So, I love your set-up a lot more than I loved my GFC.
Thank you! There are challenges with every rig but we do not have condensation issues and the insulation helps. Ice on top initially a problem but was easy to remedy.
What did you go with?
Haven’t made any decisions yet. After having the GFC I came away with a lot of positive and negative feelings. The entire design of that camper is not meant for the nasty, damp, Northeastern winter. I think the ultimate would be an electric “conversion van” with 4x4. I’m sure these type of campers are coming in the fairly near future.
@@hopnglo680 It seems the more I study this stuff, the further I become from making a choice. One thing is universal right now and that's every choice cost way to much right now.
I got lucky and purchased the GFC just before Covid. I was able to sell the camper a year later for what I paid for it. GFC was very difficult to get ahold of after the sale. My polyfin hinges went bad after a short time and the rear door fell right off. Trying to get GFC to handle it or return my correspondence was a nightmare. I had to drive 4 hours to a central meeting place, get a hotel while the overworked service guy fixed about 10 campers on the side of the road. Was not a happy time and I was scared to be stuck with a $7500 piece of junk without doors on it.
Can you tell me the weight of the hiatus? I’d like to know what the weight is for limit for pay load on a future truck? I don’t want anything heavy to weigh a truck down & break the suspension!
500 lb give or take
Nice small setup
Thank you!
Nice details. Hope you continue with updates.
Who buys a Honda Ridgeline?
I did! It’s awesome. Sold my 2019 gas guzzling, rough riding Tacoma for it. Taking a 5 hour trip is a joy now instead of a chore.
We have also owned Tacoma's for the last 21 years. We've loved them as a work truck and toy hauler. If driving longer distances (we have driven cross-country twice) the Ridgeline is far more comfortable. Reminds me of driving my Dad's 80's and 90's circa Cadillacs back in the day. The RL clearance is a significant limitation, however.
How does the camper seal against water intrusion between the cab and the camper?
