Built a MOBILE DWELLING While LIVING in a TRUCK

[@SUVRVing]

Pretty cool build and setup. Like she said, I like that this isn't the kind of thing that you have to be a master carpenter or craftsman for. There was nothing in this build that I saw and thought that I couldn't do. That's what I like to see. Thanks Dylan and Melissa.

[@ChazEvansdale]

I really liked the simple layout of the trailer with the desk at the end. Since they're going to he pulling the trailer with a truck there's so much extra space to put things you don't use as often without cluttering the living space. It's like they have an attic or closet in their truck and living space in their trailer. I like this idea better than a tiny house if you're going to be mobile. Otherwise I'd want a bathroom.

Nice setup you have. I noticed that the bed legs were a bit of a problem for you when you were putting the extension up. Maybe you could put some velcro on those bed legs and it would make it easier to set up and take down by holding the legs in place until you are ready to pull them down or put them up. Just a thought.

13Sala13 No, we all want electric. But until I can fit a van body on a Tesla Model X, I’ll stick with my 7.3 and bio diesel fuel and recycled cooking oil.

[@cjeam9199]

Patriot Jefferson Prospecting, extracting, refining and disposing of oil and oil products also creates toxic waste. Most processes involving mining create bad local pollution and toxic areas and similarly so does waste disposal. Despite the pollution from the batteries battery electric vehicles are still cleaner than ICE vehicles overall on a global scale. Nuclear also has exceptionally low CO2 emissions, and minimal direct waste production, it is exceptionally clean in that respect. How do you suggest vehicles are powered, and what energy source should we use?

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

a 7.3 is still more eco friendly than a 6.0 6.4 Dont have to use a bunch of cleaners while replacing your headgasket every fortnite, and it cost less fuel considering the much lower amount of tow truck fuel you need. So all in all, the 7.3 is the eco friendly ford engine

[@RiceLaboratoriesandScreening]

You should epoxy the sink area after it starts looking how you like it to preserve the look and not deteriorate the paper too much. Nice build though

[@anthonyanthony5882]

I like that black booty:p

[@JavierBonillaC]

This is the build that I like the most. For me a desk to sit down and read or work on the computer is basic and the way you set it at the very front is great. Your combo is great because the dirty stuff can go in the pickup and you keep the camper clean.

[@gauntletwielder6306]

Wow. This video should come with a snowflake warning. So much bad design in that truck and trailer. Yikes!!!! Wasted space. Lack of windows. Just one light for outside???? A deck with no roof. No netting for protection against bugs. No clear acrylic counter top for the sink. Fantastic bathroom and shower. Plain water or maybe some soapy water for cleaning... be careful eating meals there. The large screen monitor faces the back of the trailer where 99% of the light comes in... no glare there. And those burnt wires. Who on earth does not install circuit breakers or fuses?!?!?!?!?!?!? Especially a person working in the power industry. I would be terrified to have her participate on any project requiring power. This was the first and last time I will watch any of their videos.

Melissa had me at Walden. Hoping Chris appreciates how lucky he is. Best to the both of you!

You guys are amazing. Function over form always. Be flexible and adaptive rather than rigid and one-sided. Obstacles can always be overcome. You may have to use the clutch, drop it down to second or even first gear and sometimes even use your 4 wheel drive. You might have to throw sand, sticks, chains down or even wrench your way out but you will get out with patient determination and effort. My dad always said let your troubles and worries be like water off a ducks back... shack em off ! You will live longer and happier

[@boogiedownbronx73]

So where was Chris???

[@headbangerministries]

You know that is really something to think about because I've been debating on what to buy to be full time and most important, be as stealth as possible. I thought about a 4x4 van but man are they stupidly expensive! I thought about a travel trailer but they are so obvious you could not really be stealth if you wanted to oh lets say visit San Diego or San Francisco. But a cargo trailer? Yeah, that can work! My current truck is a tiny stupid Nissan FRontier and the bed is 5ft long with about 5'4" at an agle. I'm also a musician and want to buy a dirt bike. I worry about the scums who break into peoples things and thought.. how am I going to hide a dirt bike, a folding mountain bike, my music equipment, and go park off road sometimes, and be steal as possible? Well, I believe you just helped me figure out my needs! I'm not sure how long that bed is on the truck but its gotta be longer than mine? How long is that? 7ft, 8ft? I also thought about cutting the back of the bed of the truck and the truck cabin and join them as one so you could step into from your rear seat if and you'd have more room in the truck. I've seen people do that and join them with an accordion rubber boot seal that is molded especially for trucks and RV's that need joints or metal to metal wall connections. I also kept thinking about your trailer and realize its moldable to anyway you want it compared to a travel trailer! You build what you want as you go! Quite interesting also that you have a deck! You could build a really cute looking deck and install the rails around the fold down door and fold down up against the floor when you leave securing them with something. And if you can put an awning you'd be so in style and put some lights at night for when you want to park at some place you can sit and watch the stars with a cold beer! I did not see vents though on the trailer roof but... I also, I thought damn, you could hide a small AC in the back and not even have it sticking out, you can conjour up something to hold the AC inside and only let the heating part up against one of the walls and I even saw someone remove the heat vent and installed it under his van with the water drain tube going down to the ground by drilling a hole and sealing it up with some mold putty stuff. The guy tested it and it worked! I had no idea you could remove the heat part of an AC. He did soder some of the copper piping to get this going though but so what, it worked and it was inside his van and nobody would know you had a 10BTU AC in your van! Talk about stealth! Now my problem is what to get first, a cargo trailer like yours first or the truck! Oh and thank you so much for adding that last part at the end, FEAR! Fear has been a huge part for me because I'm complicated and I am a musician and I'm not going to settle for just a jacket and stove inside a van, I want my toys. I mean, fuck I even have a Roland Electronic drum set! I make $1000.00 a month on disability, how am I going to do this????!!!!!!????!!!!!!????

It's okay you're afraid of germs and not having the upmost cleanliness, but it will most certainly not kill you and once you're used to it, your body will probably even be much healthier.
