Eric of ToyotorHome sleeps on a wooden platform inside a white Tundra CrewMax. Eric built the bedroom in half a day, mostly with things he already had at home.
Video: ToyotorHome on Facebook (reel 1369073335290670). Caption: “In-Cab” Truck Camping – My Full Setup Tour. The same walkthrough is on YouTube as In-Cab Truck Camping Build – Full Setup – Mini Tour (Toyota Tundra CrewMax). What follows is from that tour, as of August 26, 2026.
What the still shows: a white crew-cab Toyota with a black roof rack. Both driver-side doors are open on a driveway. A light 2×4 platform runs across the floor. Grey bedding and a pillow sit on top. A red toolbox and grey baskets live under the frame. A small fan is clipped near the passenger visor. Eric is lying across the cab — head in the rear, feet toward the dash — in a blue shirt and a Toyotor Home hat.
He calls it his tiny home. On the tour he says he made the bedroom in half a day, and that it cost less than a decent hotel room. Sometimes he still sleeps in their parking lots.
The mattress is a three-layer stack. The sleep system is three layers too. The closet is under the bed. He keeps it packed so he can leave from wherever he is.
When the doors are shut, the cab is also the living room and the office. He changes in there. He rides out weather in there. The hard part is the obvious one: you are still in a truck. There is no shower. The kitchen is a box. The pantry is a bag. The fridge lives with the shell gear, not in the cab. He calls the toiletries kit a one-third bath. When nature calls, he goes to nature or Starbucks.
Utilities, in his words from the tour: a Starlink Mini for internet when there is open sky; an Anker power bank that he says runs it about three hours; a Bluetti under the bed for the rest of the truck; 200 watts of solar feeding that bank. In town he uses bottled water. Off pavement he uses a Sawyer gravity filter into a five-gallon Scepter jug. When it is hot he rolls the windows and turns on fans. When it is cold he puts on more clothes.
That is not a wiring guide and not a tape-measure of your Tundra. It is how this one cab is set up.
