You’ve built your DIY Truck Cap Camper, but you’re unsure as to how to securely lock it from the inside. Look no further! In this video, I reveal how I lock my dual handle back window and the single handle side doors from the inside of the cap. I spent days of trial and error and multiple designs to come up with some of the easiest and most secure methods to help me sleep better at night knowing the Wolfman or would-be predator would have a harder time breaking in.

This video was soooo freakin good! Do you ever miss your RV
I really like that little back window latch thing. I've been in some sketchy Walmart parking lots and something like that would have been great. It will be warm enough to travel again in a month or so, and I'll have that latch secured by then.
Good video.

Good stuff.
Thank you for making this. Now I can replicate this to secure my camper as well. You would think someone would make a locking system for these.
Nice to see another video from you. Your Tramper inspired me to do a better job with the wood working, etc. on my wedge camper build-out, as well as your organizing skills are noted and much appreciated. By the way, you were right in your assessment of the Chronomite water heater. I tried it anyway but it is useless. Regulated at 0.5 gpm, which is barely a trickle, it raised water temperature a whopping 15 degrees while consuming 1600 watts of power. The reseller charges return shipping and restock fee, apparently no matter what, but better than let it collect dust on the back of a shelf. I also have to figure out how to secure the rear hatch from inside, when I need to sleep in it, with the pop-top in the down position. The latch type used makes it more of a challenge, but I appreciate your solution. Nice work and be blessed.
God Speed!
Wow! Some very ingenious ideas there! Thanks for the inspiration 🤝🏼👍🏻
