This Truck (Ford F-150) is set up to be completely off grid and fully sustainable all on it's own.

It is fully equipped with a solar power electrical system. There is a 100 Watt flexible monocrystalline Solar Panel mounted directly to the roof of the truck's wedge style rooftop tent. All the rest of the electrical components including the Solar Controller, Pure Sine Wave inverter, and lithium ion battery are conveniently inside of my Anker Powerhouse, which I use for all of my electrical needs while Off Grid. With this electrical system installed, you can watch tv, charge devices, run power tools and appliances, and even play video games for hours without running out of power.
There are AC and USB outlets Located on top of the truck bed drawers as well as in the "loft" bedroom area above the cab of the truck, as well as super bright rechargeable magnetic LED lights with 3 brightness levels.

For cooking and ventilation, this overland truck camper has an adjustable speed roof vent above the living space. The vent is able to move air in or out of the camper and is equipped with a rain sensor and a remote for easy use.

There is a projector screen that can be used on any of the walls of the tent interior, which is connected to a DTV antenna and my PS4 and Nintendo Switch video game console. The projector also has access to Netflix, Hulu and other apps and can be controlled from your smartphone.

The couch can seat 2 people and converts into a guest bed on top of the truck drawers. There is a massive easy to reach storage space under the guest bed area as well as a double slide out kitchen.

I wanted to test my building skills by making the entire structure of the camper instead of just building out the interior as I have done in the past. In this video I take you with me from start to finish and show everything that I built from the electrical setup to the installation of each individual aluminum rod that makes up the frame of this Off-grid truck camper.

I was able to build this entire off grid truck camper with a little bit more than $3,000. Closer to $3,500. If you're interested in building a camper like this yourself, I would budget to spend at least $4,000, but its a good idea to have $5,000 just in case. The truck itself cost me $32,000 and is my daily driver. The camper is easily removable and doesn't take up too much space in my garage.
