Genius build... lightweight, homey, inexpensive, repurposed, self-sufficient living at its finest! LOVE IT!!!

[@lorib360]

His Grandmother would be so proud that he incorporated some of her belongings into this wonderful home! Love so many of these creative ideas.

[@constanttraveler]

I would've loved to see him finish his shower description

[@soggynomadpress]

Love him, love the rig, love the enthusiasm! How wonderful to have the skillset to make a rig like this.

[@cheflifevanlife]

I'd be hyped too if I had built a rig like that! 😂 I'm also impressed with his solar.

[@GypsySoul2023]

Love the recycled look, vibe and character. I appreciate Kenny sharing his creative tinkering and building skills. Lots of great ideas to keep in mind. Thanks to you both for this video.

[@erikaamerica4546]

Great place! Enjoyed the interview. Feel like he’s Doc’s cousin from Backto the Future😊

[@susieq2cute]

Oh, my goodness, but I absolutely love this rig. It is just so unique with all the reclaimed and family items. Kenny is so creative. This has to be my favorite rig of all time!

[@jolist3721]

Just like a house you have to put as much love in as you can.🙃🇦🇺

[@alohadave13]

Kenny is a BRILLIANT engineer. I'm impressed...

[@OverlandOne]

Wow, so many brilliant ideas in one rig. It is amazing how everything just fits in there and it looks great too. This fellow built a really useful RV and I wish him many miles and years of safe travel. Thanks Brian.

[@slyborg1]

Kenny is a delightful and enchanting spirit! One of the best interviews ever, and I watch them all.

[@vanessahenry7238]

This has to be the BEST MOTOR HOME EVER!!! We are trying to plan out what we are going to build as well as soon as school is out (4 weeks) and I also have a lot of odds n ends and antiques I was going to utilize as well! This is EPIC!

[@talea5604]

Wow! Kenny is so creative! I love how he incorporated his grandma’s treasures.

[@lorifrier8921]

👀 👀 👀!!!!! I love when he says - and that’s what makes me happy! 😁. My kitchen ended up fitting together like Tetris without planning too. It’s a great feeling to see things work out! Endlessly awesomeness in this home ❤❤❤

[@JanetBullard]

So wonderful he incorporated so many family items into his build. He has so many things to remind him daily of his grandparents.

[@dusttodust4295]

That guy has some mad skills 👍

[@tinymission7821]

This isn’t someone making do with what he has. He makes what he has do whatever he wants. A brilliant man. A Dr. Dolittle of salvaged and repurposed items. What a wonderful home to live life in!

[@thetwooldpeeps3528]

This is pretty cool, wish we were that knowledgeable to build something like this. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@rebeccalape8423]

Love , love, love this creativity and the drop down porch! So much thought and using what you have. ✌🏼 ❤& happiness.

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

Wow! What a cool and creative rig! So awesome that he was able to incorporate family heirlooms. I especially loved that pull-out closet. Did not see that coming! 😂 And his reuse/repurpose options were so clever. I wish I had the imagination and physical ability to create something like this. Thanks for sharing!

[@unconditionallove3820]

A true wizard of conjuring the idea into a piece of functional useful art

[@suekaiser6348]

It’s amazing that it’s road legal! 😂 I love this guy! He’s what you call a “happy camper “. Thanks for all you guys do to make the videos and let us learn from you and others!

[@lorifrier8921]

Wow! I gotta watch it again to see everything!! Love the functional steampunk electronic system !!!

[@queenbluntressspeaks2695]

Omg this dude is amazing. He just gave me hope ❤ he recycled everything from his family. This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. Very sentimental. ❤

[@Jennifermcintyre]

Wow! This guy is a genius!!! So creative and resourceful!! This is such a cool rig!! That is the coolest functional project I’ve seen in a very long time!!

[@deedeegray7489]

Wow! What an amazing build !! Kenny is so imaginative and sentimental to use his grandmothers items in his home !!!! Great job Kenny !!!

[@wanderlust62]

It is great when family vintage and other vintage incorporated into a build. Creatively used, great build through and through. I think I like something best and then the tour continues! Fantastic use of everything! With the window and trip on doorway, it looks like a captain's cabin!

[@jampam-jf8mt]

Looks great. The only change that should be considered is making the overcab more aerodynamic

[@arnoldolson2509]

This guy is amazing!!! Beautiful home on wheels, thanks to both of these guys for sharing this, awesome .

[@brianleonard6885]

🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 Bravo Kenny and thanks for your service!

[@ceeceety2320]

Not only is this guy creative but he's got a great personality to boot! I love this! I just about finished my van or I'd be thinking along these lines. What a great home he has built for himself! Heck, he could even add a lady if she was up for it! Well done!

[@XiLi-xl5fs]

Kenny is the goat. And I'm liking Brian's new hair color

[@maggiesmith979]

What a fun build. I always get excited when I can repourpose something in my garden. Go with the flo.

[@ktk2094]

It's a cute home. I especially love how there's lots of family heirlooms/memories in the build. Good job.

[@docwilson5384]

Kenny did a Amazing job with his build....Peace

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

One of the most creative minds I've listened to in ages...I liked very few TV programs in years past, but I remember McGyver, who could, seemingly, conger up whatever the emergency required out of thin air. Fascinating...and so was this gentleman. Thank both of you so very much for raising the level of TV for a few wonderful moments 😊.

[@etl2993]

Thanks Kenny and Brian! So creative, practical, elegant solutions, great craftsmanship and very homey! ❤🎉🎉

[@anio1349]

A creative genius with engineering skills!! I enjoyed this tour immensely 😁

[@jefftaylor844]

AWESOME design and build. Love the family keepsakes incorporated into it all.

[@cheflifevanlife]

Yes, those are the little details that make his rig awesome.

[@damarishooton4064]

Wow, Love all the old pieces, really came out unique and functional!

[@Convoycrazy]

I really enjoyed seeing your home Kenny! I loved seeing all your inventions and family heirlooms. The oscilloscope was a really neat touch.

[@2sweetcaroline]

Love it 😍 Brilliant!

[@shaunhall960]

The amount of room is amazing! I'm sure this will inspire more people to do this. Thanks Brian and Kenny for this!

[@johnhuff393]

Wow, wow,and wow!!! Great interview with Kenny. Probably the best interview to date. Thanks 😎

[@pfitz4881]

Very functional.. and low cost. I absolutely love this build !!! This just might be the best I've seen.

[@ASHEVILLEMOVINGCOMPANY]

#Grateful #recycle #repurpose #reuse I think it's so smart to have all the #Vintage #memories I enjoyed every minute of the video love you guys be safe #Mahalo from #Hawaii

[@zoommikerobinson3315]

All the vintage items and practicalities are beyond awesome, which I like because of my vintage Compact Jr. 🤠🐱🐂🐎🇺🇸

[@shortmeister4321]

This is great! I love the "can-do", "make-do" spirit. This is what comes from our family values and knowing you can do anything if you put your mind to it. We grew up making the best of what we had and being thankful for our blessings. I am almost 65yrs and had the best childhood learning and making things with my dear grandparents from Iowa. It has served me well through the years and somehow, I suspect Kenny had a similar upbringing in Kansas. Way to go Kenny! Thank you for inviting us to your home. God bless and Safe travels! 💗🙏💗

[@wouldntyouliketoknow1477]

This is one of my favorite builds. He mostly used materials that were lying around, while including all the regular Rv components like a pro. Also, this is THE oldest camper in the world considering the age of the materials he used lol.

[@taix371]

The fold away porch idea is awesome 💡💡💡

[@reglook1]

I love it, this guy has real talent. Love that swivel table. It all comes together perfectly.

[@fallbrkgrl]

So cool! He did an amazing job building his RV. Very creative guy! Loved it. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎

[@thisvagabondlife7132]

Wow absolutely amazing. I love the creativity of nomads.

[@MsNZgal]

Wow. He has really made good use of memorabilia. Great fit out. Thanks for posting.

[@OWK000]

The most warm homey whimsicle serenditpitous RV I have seen. Nice. Complete with 1100 watts of solar!

[@tracylawrence5258]

Kenny you are awesome. You're a positive soul. Creative and you value memories and relationships. I enjoyed the tour of your rig. Thank you.

[@ericd1084]

He's the mad scientist of RV building. I like it.

[@bangalorebobbel]

Simply incredible. Thank you so much for sharing! This rig is by far the best piece of functional art I've ever seen. And considering that it is almost entirely made by reusing/repurposing things, makes it even more fantastique. Once Kenny doesn't need it anymore, one has to exhibit this home on wheels as a masterpiece in the MoMA. This is simply a must.

[@pateisele4513]

Wow! Amazing! One very ingenious and resourceful man! Not much I would change.

[@shoop5959]

He's awesome and so is the rig he built! I'd love to have something like that! Thanks for showing us the possibilities.

[@raysun2be]

Great interview and tour! Kenny is very adept at repurposing items, live all the family pieces he incorporated! He seems like the kind of person that would be great to meet and talk with on the road!

[@joepeach997]

What a great video! Every episode of CheapRVliving is worth the time to watch it! Thanks to you guys for giving so much.

[@merri999]

I got to tour this amazing build 4 years ago...amazing build!

[@castirondreams]

Kenny has built quite a creative and inspirational rig! Safe Adventures to all!🤙

[@thomasbrown7728]

Looks great! I like old stuff better than new stuff. I like homemade better than store bought. 👍👍

[@pagielicious]

I've probably seen hundreds of these vids but this one had me in stitches, probably because the owner/builder guy was so humorous in his delivery. When he said the box truck was held together with foam boards and glue it had me rolling! He is so inspiring. Kudos to him for such a neat setup.

[@liddlekiddle1962]

Well done video! And Kenny is amazingly creative! He has a way with making everything fit together and built a great home!

[@deedspm9]

Impressed with him and his rig! Seems like a genuine person

[@martna1]

Very nice home!

[@einzgeisha]

I love his rig and "use what you have first!"

[@raymondduck6492]

An inspiring home project that preserves great relics of the past while treading lightly on the future.

[@janineivey03121]

What an absolutely perfect build!! I love the items he brought in from his family, and the artistry!! Thank you for sharing

[@suzy9342]

Ann. Fantastic mini home🙏🏼🏆👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@lisachennault575]

Very creative love it 😊

[@taichanie]

I'd love to see this uncut. I just want to listen to his enthusiasm about his rig.

[@n8rlvr876]

Oscilloscope!!! That’s awesome, my father’s an engineer( no doubt this gentleman is too!)..... I remember all his oscilloscopes from my childhood..... very cool how he incorporated that, and the old volt meter into the build!

[@remiklovic]

Love this!! I am currently building out my minivan with almost all family owned stuff, book cases, textiles and what ever calls to me. I totally get it and hope to see you down the road. Be well.

[@peace2all]

What a wonderful collection of stuff! The sum is greater than the parts. Kenny sees nothing but possibilities. Great outlook to have. Peace - John

[@lisashelton3241]

Absolutely beautiful! I could live in this cozy little home the rest of my life!😊 I want my husband and I to have something like this! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@pamelanana58]

Such a interesting build ! ❤

[@khalifleur]

Love how he upcycled so many heirlooms. Such a great build and guy. KENNY is AWESOME!

[@robertsellers1153]

excellent footage, such a beautiful home!

[@jm-bv1wh]

Wow, what a perfect set-up. Would have liked to have seen the shower set-up in a bit more detail. Great video and interview.

[@markthompson7288]

I am always amazed at how creative some people are!

[@theideaplace]

Amazing... it's like a patchwork quilt of his life... fun to watch... very creative..

[@DIYCamping_Offical]

Kenny is an inspiration, love the feel the cabin gives

[@carolhieter3916]

What a neat little set-up! This looks so homey with all your family heirlooms. Great job!

[@AhJodie]

Wonderfully happy man with a great build! Love to him!

[@blackamericanlesbianprofes4357]

Thank you for sharing this interview. Good to see this tiny home combination with RV living. 23apr23

[@zeitgeist888]

Really neat features that are space efficient. Nice job

[@terrapintravels3829]

Absolutely fantastic!🎉

[@lindarickert7290]

So creative! Love it. And love all the family touches too cool guy!

[@emartin851]

What a great build! I love the ones that incorporate regular furniture.

[@annhysell6064]

Wow! Just the type of tiny home build I'd like to do.. shop your own stuff 1st. So many items repurposed. Salvage/restore is the way to go, with an imagination. I'm definitely going to use my mom's ironing board after that shot! (I remember her ironing the sheets..really?!) Thanks Brian!

[@mhayes6864]

Love the folding porch n awning for practicality and structure! Beautiful home away from home! Safe travels!

[@vegansinthewildover5023]

I always thought it would be a good idea for homes on wheels alliance to train some people how to restore vintage trailers. There are a couple of masters online, Mobiltec comes to mind. Many of these trailers come in at under 3000 pounds, so could be towed by most SUVs.

[@starbubbli]

Just wow, Kenny. Great job! Never seen this before!
