DIY Truck Camping on a Budget

I will be covering how anyone can convert their pickup truck with a canopy into a truck bed living/camping set up on a strict budget. I will cover different bed platforms that can be made, how to line and insulate the canopy, waterproofing, tarp set ups and bug nets for trucks, how to keep food cold, necessary power sources for life on the road such as solar or power stations, as well as water storage, dish washing and the best cooking set up for the truck-camp chef. I will also be touching on general tips of the truck living life-style and how to avoid chaos and mayhem on your first night in the truck cap. As a solo female living this lifestyle, I would also like to touch on safety while living in a truck and the best practices for keeping your truck canopy locked while you are sleeping inside it. I will give the wanna-be-truck-lifer the necessary tools

Ella Vallance

Hi, my name is Ella and I am a seasonal worker living in the back of a pickup truck. I have always had a longing for independence and adventure, which has brought me to loving this freeing part-time lifestyle of exploring in a pickup truck in the simplest and least expensive ways possible. I spent my high school years surrounded by people living the exact life I didn't want to live, so I am now on a mission to create the life that inspires me daily and will hopefully inspire you as well. I look forward to sharing with you how I have created my DIY truck camping setup on a budget so you too can hopefully do the same!
