Mobile Rik

<p>Mobile Rik has been sustainably living off the grid in his own homemade truck camper he built on his Toyota Tacoma for under $250!</p><p>Of course, since the original &quot;stupidly simple&quot; (under 500 lbs &quot;light&quot;) cabover camper shell he built in just three construction days, there have been many upgrades &mdash; AGM Deep Cell Battery, Homemade Solar Panels, Ultra-Lightweight Roof, and his nifty A-Frame Popup with a 7&#39;8&quot; ceiling &mdash; But the essential &quot;dirt cheap&quot; DIY design is still holding up brilliantly.</p><p>And of course the best part is that because he built everything himself, it&#39;s a perfect fit to his unique needs &mdash; to be self-sufficiently camping in nature, boondocking in free campsites, and immersing himself further in sustainable &quot;off grid&quot; life... cooking up vegan meals on his DIY tin can wood-gas stove, and baking amazing pizza and cookies in his cardboard box oven.<br /> <br /> He is the creator of several websites, including his main blog MobileRik.com, BuildATruckCamper.com, and OffTheGridFast.com, dedicated to Off Grid Hackery for Full Time Campers like himself.</p>
