MeatEater lead photographer Seth Morris has built a DIY truck camper designed for hunting and fishing expeditions. The setup features a raised fiberglass topper for headroom, a custom bed platform with storage drawers, and a Dometicⓘ CFX5 electric cooler for food. Water is supplied via a Dometic jug with an electric faucet, and cooking is done on a classic two-burner camp stove.

Building a Lightweight Modular Campervan: Less Is More - GearJunkie

A builder outlines a philosophy for constructing a campervan that prioritizes low weight and modularity over permanent, heavy amenities. The approach is based on a decade of experience, concluding that excessive weight severely compromises vehicle handling, fuel economy, and component wear. The new build will feature only essential, multi-purpose components used 90% of the time, with portable solutions stored at home for occasional needs, though a robust battery system is considered a non-negotiable addition for off-grid power.
