Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

Foam cannons are so much fun.

It's plumbing upgrade time. Although I like my cheap Amazon electric faucet, it doesn't fold down. Because of this, I have to pull it out each time I collapse the camper.

I ordered a folding faucet and Seaflo 12v pressure switch pump. I'll take some pics of the installation, when I'm done.

A couple more items and I'm ready.

Well the upgraded faucet / pressure switch pump works great! The 1.3 Gallons per minute Seaflow pump is perfect size for a sink. The pump has a pressure switch built in, so all you have to do is turn on the water faucet and the pump turns on. I like it!

Now I can fold down the faucet, when I pull down the bed platform.

How is the water flow and pressure? Only 1.3 gpm doesn't seem like much.

I think the water flow and pressure is perfect for a sink. I did quite a bit of research first. I'm glad I didn't go any larger. This is also small enough to run off a 12v cigarette plug, which is on my Power Supply and in my truck if I don't want to bring my power supply.

I just use this for drinking water, washing up and for doing the dishes. If you go larger, you're just going to waste a lot of water, and will have to bring more along.

I'm curious if it will be enough for an outdoor shower. I'll save that project for next summer, since I only have cold water.

Just some more cool builds. I love the old Bronco.

After a year of camping, I'm still on the fence about a vertical door vs. tailgate. The tailgate/hatch is great for a fold out table, but awkward to get in/out of the camper.

What would you guys do, for your build?

I have only used my camper once but I can tell you I missed my tailgate. With that said, I liked the door better so I can make do without it.

I forgot. If you want to use a tailgate, you definitely need a mat to kneel on! I made my own.

Ran into the Ken Block #43 tribute Jeep returning home to Maine from SEMA show. Cool Jeep!

I can't seem to stop at a gas station without bumping into another Jeep lover.

This is the owner's 12th build and he put over $90K of aftermarket parts on this beast.

What is really nice is 1/2 knee mat and the other half a plastic cutting board!

Great idea!!

Why doesn't he save me the trouble, and just climb in the back of the Gladiator!?

I didn't get these two, but I've already got venison in the freezer this season.

I think they prefer the front of vehicles. I tagged one the other week with the Civic.
