Meet Valerie as she gives us a tour of her show-stopping truck camper that she lives in full time with her adorable co-pilot, Diesel. After retiring from the navy, Valerie decided that she wanted to travel the world before she settled into one place. She originally bought a mini trailer to tow around, but was eventually offered a job as the sales & marketing representative for Dakota Lithium, who gifted her this custom trailer to reside in. She now tours the country full time, exploring landmarks & stopping by trade shows to represent the Dakota Lithium brand.

Her camper is equipped with a fixed dinette that can transform into an extra bed, cassette toilet, mini refrigerator, an indoor/outdoor shower, two burner stove, queen size bed, plus an abundant amount of storage both inside & out. In addition to having a great layout, this camper comes loaded with 680 amp hours of Dakota Lithium batteries. This massive battery bank allows her to be off grid for three weeks at a time, giving her the ability to live out her traveling dreams.

Hello Valerie, love your truck camper. Thank you for your service, I am a disabled U.S. Navy Vietnam Veteran. You Navy Corpsman were our Guardian Angels and I thank all of you for that.

[miriamanderson]

She’s very nice to watch and listen to and very “celebrity” presence and yet not excessive. Great video!

I was a Corpsman during the final years of Viet Nam, love your camper, and am a little jealous of your nomad lifestyle. Being retired I'd love to go full-time for a few years but have too many projects going on right now. Happy trails & be safe out there.

Cindy says " Nice rig!!! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for your service! My Dad was in the Navy also, just after the Korean war. That's part of what sparked my interest in your video, along with my Love of tiny homes. Safe travels.

Retired Senior Chief here. Wife and I are looking to retire in the next 12 years or so and planning on hitting the road to see all of the US. Bringing the dogs with us too 🙂

Wow, you found something cool to do. It’s great whenever vets find something they like to do after their military service. Thank you for your service.

Hi Val, thank you for your service! I am a Marine veteran and Corpsman were always protected by us Marines. Without a Corpsman, Marines died in battle. Be safe out there and enjoy your healing time.

Air Force vet here! Let’s hear from a Marine now and all 4 of us will be represented here. It took all 4 services working together to accomplish the mission and yet today, we still help one another even tho we all give those Army & Marine folks a really hard time, but most of the time they deserved it, lol 😂

But that’s a really nice rig Val!! How can we go about getting batteries from Dakota Lithium for our rigs now? I’m in process of building an MC9 right now that I want off grid capable but I need good batteries & solar panels yet to get things going and have not decided on a battery brand yet but will be very soon. I’ve never heard of Dakota Lithium before and am excited to learn more about them!
