Breadtruck Converted to Tiny House on Wheels

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

In the early to mid 80's I was a team over the road semi truck driver for 3 years. Somehow we survived together in that very small living environment. We could not afford motels because of our extremely low pay. Sleeper semi trucks didn't have the room that sleeper trucks have today either, much less all the amenities like refrigerators, microwave ovens, and many other little things that make it livable today. The point I'm making is most people don't "need" a lot of room to be happy. Your bread truck is on another level when it comes to living space and amenties and I'm quite certain it's enough room for me to be happy. Will retire with my social security check and savings, in about a year or two. Your step van so far is the best vehicle I've seen to live in. Nice job and happy trails to you. Enjoy watching your videos.

Paul- you are a delightful man! Thanks for the tour.

[@imomediaimomedia6648]

Too cool...He has turned it into a CABIN on wheels ! w/ modern amenities. Very creative. A visionary MAN.👍👍👍

[@sammimitsu]

What a great guy with such a nice voice!. I love his attitude about not wanting to over-consume. Beautiful conversion.

[@colin7360]

Paul seems like a cool dude. Love the improvements he’s made in his van.

[@kevin7151]

Nice job repurposing materials to do your interior build. As you noted, it helped keep costs down. Nice addition with the instant hot water unit. Enjoy your travels.

[@Avelina619sd]

By far the best tiny home on wheels I’ve seen. So practical and efficient. Great job!

[@PaulBarger]

Avelina Mitchell what an awesome compliment! Thank you!

[@Avelina619sd]

Paul Barger I’m serious. I love the flow you created and the clean “lines”. The hot water is so enticing. Your home looks so cozy.

[@debbied7803]

I effing love it Paul. Lots of room so not to feel closed in. Like that you didn't put up walls. Really well opened... I've been looking for one. In 1975 you could buy one for $400.00 not today! Happy Trails

[@robertrisk93]

Hands down, THE BEST low budget set-up. You can get fancier, but this one has it all. I mean, solar, composting toilet, shower, bar (didn't you see it around the bath tub?), east-west fixed bed, panoramic windows, huge wardrobe, locking storage compartments, dinette with small and large removable tables, big sink, double propane stove, running water, on demand heater, double max fans, insulation, extra sleeping space, fancy lighting and I think I saw (although he didn't mention it) a refrigerator... come on, it does have it all. Way to go @breadtrucker.

[@bettyhouk8727]

My brother in law built a RV out of a bread truck back in the 70s and he and his family would take vacations and weekend trips in! They named it “Old Ironsides” ! They had a lot of happy adventures in that old RV! A lot of happy memories !

[@99rylee]

its so nice to see ppl these days living simple lives. with simplicity in mind comes freedom and the freedom to live out your dreams and goals . He did a nice job on his mini home

[@cheyjan330]

What a change! It's perfectly thought out and all in 112 sq ft. Will done Paul and Elle. Love your channel Paul, and thanks Seven!

[@le_th_]

Glad I'm not the only one! lol My office is about 2 blocks (1.5 actually) away from Acme Bread Company and I have stalked their bread trucks around their bakery facility more than a few times, trying to find the model that would be the best option. I've also priced those trucks new and they are NOT cheap. Interesting video. Thanks for posting it and thank you to the van-lifer for sharing his private space and build.

[@annsharp3519]

Love the repurposing aspect of this truck build!

[@seansteede]

I watch these videos for ideas and always love coming away with a nugget....those cabinet door locks are "priceless"...which could mean "cost nothing" - but I love it both ways! Fan bloody tastic!

[@PaulBarger]

Sean Steede this is the top most commented on thing when people see my breadtruck. Thank you

[@kriselliott5866]

I have see a lot of different setups and lots of them are great ideas but I love his setup the most it would suit me perfectly the only thing I would need extra is a really good heat source because i live in Ontario Canada

[@stanleyhape8427]

Really nice set up. 👍👍 I find it interesting when people post these videos and point out the things they are most happy about..big sink , permanent bed set up , hot water on-demand, shower , etc.

[@pahrn]

Really nice build. Seems that most folks build out their vans/trucks with no regard to the reason most people convert vans: to save money and be environmentally responsible. Great job reusing, repurposing, and saving perfectly good material from ending up in landfills--and saving a ton of money on your build. You're an inspiration!

[@kimlovelace3031]

I love his demeanor.

[@kindcrone]

Always best to start with passive energy solutions and reusing materials. Impressive and simply superb 💛

[@ProserpinePomegranate]

Really love the bathroom set up,that galvanized tub is the best.

[@gerimartinez2737]

Love his bread truck I'm hoping to get one this year I love following you guys

[@landonashby2029]

Love it! You really wouldn't even know you were in a bread truck. Looks like a high dollar tiny home. Marvelous!

[@marigolds49]

Smart man--very personable and down-to-earth. Love his videos, but show more of the work done. Thanks for sharing :)

[@mischef18]

Looks like it has everything he needs bro he has done a great job so far. Thank you for sharing.

[@JustFun-ze5pk]

You still have a lot of space above your head in the drivers seat for storage.... awesome Build buddy!

[@AlexisChateau]

My favourite parts of this build are the reclaimed walls. Looks so cool! And the headboard on the bed.

[@deborahlaranjo3267]

A very nice build and in good reasonable budget , lookin forward to build my own tiny house on wheels

[@widowswatch6610]

My dad drove a bread truck for many years. They’re wide. I love your home.

[@marybroderick4323]

Love it !! Well done Paul , a home on wheels , wow ! Enjoy 👍🏻

[@katrinasheets2997]

Really nice and super cool dude with an infectious personality.....just a big teddy bear!

[@rhizomove6631]

A sexy teddy bear!

[@PaulBarger]

Why thank you!

[@katrinasheets2997]

[@karipiazza706]

@@PaulBarger is that your bread truck in the video?

[@davidyule3605]

Awesome build! So much room, and recycled material. Perfection!

[@thizizliz]

Gosh, he has REALLY upgraded! Nicely done. Its roomy, attractive & nice looking. Great tour, Seven. Good job, Paul!

[@cherriemckinstry131]

I like this setup much better than the previous version. Great job Paul!

[@michaelh465]

Pretty awesome rig. And it's got a Cummins!

[@HappyPapa1218]

[@richardhenry1969]

I really like that build I like a big bed . To me ideal design.

[@RvDavy]

Nice job on the rig!

[@alohatvn]

Pretty cool Breadtruck Tiny home. Love to see the early build.

[@P_RO_]

This bread truck conversion is a real honey-bun of a job!

[@CaptRich-bi3gp]

That's bad. 👍

[@robertalynch5433]

Really nice Paul. Hope to see you next year at the New Years Eve party and potluck in the desert.

[@leedesigner1977]

I enjoyed this, Paul seems a top bloke too. Thank you. Lee UK 🇬🇧

[@kellybryson7754]

I looked at the old truck and his changes are great. Plus, life on the road ssems to agree with him, he looks good.

[@mechanicsteve2320]

Hi Seven! I'm glad to see your doing well. Paul is a awesome guy and I encourage everyone to subscribe to his channel. His live streams are always fun to hang out and talk to new people.

[@bk4of4]

That’s so much better than I expected! Good job!

[@markmaue4861]

Just watched you bread truck tour on the van life app, I’ve seen some of your videos before and can’t wait to get out on the road ourselves, we built a skoolie and will retire to the road in four years. Safe travels and hope to cross paths.

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Great! A bread truck is what I'm aiming for converting over the next few years.

[@ec9833]

Love how happy he is with his efforts to care best for himself. ❤️❤️❤️ Love it when ppl are truly good to themselves.

[@maureensmith4451]

He seems like a nice guy. I love what he did to this bread truck too.

[@KS51ABCAN]

You've done excellent job on your bread truck, it looks great!

[@abbprrodriguez744]

One of the most simple yet impressive easy living spaces ive seen

[@soniarossiter2734]

Paul, this space is so cool!! Thank You for sharing.

[@markcrawford8876]

Thats a good setup, the cummins and wide body make it ideal!

[@chadliggett7988]

Awesome Van! Love he took roll-up door out! But should of put in an outside access door for under bed. Good job!

[@wolfbisbing486]

This is one I could definitely live in. Simple and awesome.

[@anandrew6641]

It is

[@jackiem1093]

Really, REALLY cool!! So nice, love all the recycled material👍

[@vickys5460]

I did one of these 30 years ago! Part of my inspiration was Electric Horseman. I left 4 feet clear up the center for the horse. Solid cabinets on both sides, 3/4 hardwood ply counters, uppers set back a foot with 2' clearance. Peeled half round log siding bumpers and doorframe behind drivers compartment. Curtains on the front windows. Metal bedframe pulled down from the ceiling to windowsill level. Second bed simply plywood across counter to counter. It was designed more as a structure and workshop but came out like a log cabin.

[@briancook5838]

Kool truck/camper . . . On the cheap too , very functional . I’m likin it!

[@alisonmason7593]

😁👏🏻👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️well done you 😃I can hear how proud you are of your home 👍🏻enjoy 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@Donald_Shaw]

Great seeing Paul on your channel.

[@laurakramer396]

You've done such a wonderful job with your home Paul!

[@salimarose5802]

Such a beautiful home, thank you for sharing.

[@stephaniesmythe8449]

Nice rig and huge evolution of his truck, not unlike all the changes to your step van!

[@monaleon7184]

This is literally the best tiny house ! He has a king size bed ! Bathroom. Kitchen and hot or cold water !!!! 🤯 it’s so spacious I forgot it was a bread truck

[@PaulBarger]

rockstarglam mona it a queen size bed but it is still pretty good ;)

[@RogueAPBT]

Been following his build for a while. It looks so different now, and really turned out great!

[@kathleenphillips2933]

I always wondered how a bread truck would turn out as a living quarters. Pretty cool... Now when I see a Turano bread truck, I smile!

[@PNWOlygurl66]

Amazing! You have a fantastic personality and charisma!

[@itsno1duh]

at some point you could make a hinged cover for the back windows that would lift to then give shade when parked for evening views in hot weather. I picture a humming bird feeder hanging under the edge of the cover /awning. This might be helpful when rainy weather hits too. Everything in place for a comfy nest on the road! Get a great bread truck picture painted on the cover so that it simply looks like a sign!

[@dogan6070]

It's alot cheaper then a house or condo. Good job brother.

[@racoonsister]

I like that he repurposed so much, been watching van build videos and when they reveal the costs its shocking, you don't need to spend 20k on interiors, there are so many nice things out there to repurpose, I just got a solid wood IKEA pantry shelf with rolling drawers for 20 dollars, its in new condition, Paul has the right mind frame for tiny living.

[@LoveHut4Life]

Nice build Paul. 14mpg?!?! Lol I wish we got that!

[@RustyZipper]

I actually just watched his other video yesterday. Very nice to see the improvements and what works vs what does not 💯👍

[@kittykatz3518]

I love the repurposed wood!

[@jeepinjohnny2898]

Really nice bro. It's very affordable and easy to build.

[@richardross7219]

In 1970 I was working a gas station. A young guy in a step van came in. He had converted it into his home and had driven halfway across the country. I had thought that it was a kool idea. Good Luck, Rick
