Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

25 Degrees F. in the morning and the diesel heater kept me toasty warm all night.

Just like camping at home!

Missouri was hit pretty hard last Friday by tornadoes. A tornado barely missed my home, but it managed to take out electricity, internet, and cell phone coverage for thousands of households, including mime.

5 gallons of gas, a generator, electric power supply, and our fireplace kept our family going for a few cold days without power.

I've become a fan of small electric skillets, since I don't like flames inside my camper. They work great with a small power supply. Instead of a lot of dishes, I just wipe out the non stick surface with a paper towel or wet nap when I'm done. It's a burner, pan, pot, skillet with a lid all in one. They are a lot less clean up. I just saw this 600 watt one at Walmart last night for $13.

Another beautiful weekend!

Guess this is the last night I will need the heater for the season. I had the diesel heater on the lowest setting and outside it was 50 degrees. Inside was cozy.

Looks like it’s going to be a great day.

What, heater in 50 F? Just giving you a hard time. Especially since I was camping and it got down to 39 F and I did not have a heater.

Ran into a fellow Overlander and Mountain biker this morning. He’s been living in his truck for the last 6 months and slowly making his way from California eastward. And I thought I used my camper a lot!

Haha…. I figured I’d get some grief.

Just wait till I run my trucks A/C while sleeping/camping this summer.

You won't catch flak from me on the AC. I have lived close enough to the area and spent time in the area to understand the need.

Two things I hate about my Gladiator when camping!!

1) The headlights turn on every time I open a door. This will really piss off those nice tent campers next to you in the middle of the night.

2) The damn horn sounds every time I lock my truck. Those poor campers are really upset at me now.

Solution: I don’t know why I waited so long to fix these problems. All you have to do is go into settings and turn off the horn when you lock the door and change the proximity lights to “0” and all is fixed!!

Sorry to those of you who I’ve woken up😬

I never thought my 38” tires were small until now!
