[@juliarussell3962]

Very simple and organized

[@lisantica842]

I liked how Dale made those shelves for canned goods, he's right it does open up the space.

[@louisecross]

Love your kitchen Dale

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Love the ready made shower stall, woo hoo!! Never knew you could do that. Beats the pricey RV store versions. Also love the artwork from his mom, what lovely ways to keep feathers! The simplicity of his design shows a zen mind for what is necessary and no extra junk. The lack of overhead cabinets does give a very roomy feel, which is lovely. A home must be lovely and inviting and cozy and Dale has done just that. All that is missing is a wood stove and a dog next to it!

[@Ciara1594]

I like how he put a doorway to the cab. It will make it easier to get to the driver's section or living area, without having to climb in and out of the van. This man thought of everything. 🙂

[@leannaestep3066]

That homemade water filter system is awesome! The SS silverware holders are pretty cool, too.

[@thoughtsinpassing2968]

Dale shows how you can make the most of whatever you have or find. I liked his open spacious feeling home. Like a couple of other men RV'rs he has seen the advantage of utilizing the sturdy steel tool boxes. He made the comment that he didn't have the creativity talent like his mother, but I beg to differ, I think his home shows a lot of creativity. Thank you for sharing.

[@280zone]

Dammit Dale, now you break out the good ideas... :) I really appreciate the ides for the shelves vs cabinets. Tell Grandma we said Hi! She obviously holds a special place in your heart and I think some of her creativeness did rub off on you, nice build!

[@stephanecorriveau6982]

Love the reuse attitude. Well done. We all need to do this so much more.

[@robinbrown7953]

The back of your truck would be totally awesome if you just would have set your door/back wall in a little, and left the roll up door....would have made you a little less camper like if you wanted to stealth camp in town while traveling and make it more secure as well, but good job. Love how you used things you bought from habitat and repurposed them.

[@essietangle9931]

Well done Dale, your truck looks great and you have loaded it with great ideas. Safe travels and let your mom know she did a great job with the decoration for the truck.

[@maryjaneniles443]

Great job! I don't think Dale is "missing" the talent his mother has...he just has a different type of talent. :)

[@tammywines9789]

Amen !! He has major talent , he is a humble man. Bless him .

[@kellykelly7747]

Wow. Great build.

[@vanmamawannabe6360]

Very nice build, Dale!

[@mikethemoneymaker]

Dale has it nailed.

[@debbieisbell6034]

Love the simplicity of this truck!

[@laurajphillips]

That is a very very nice lay out! It's nice to see a man with evagination no reason why our vans can't be stylish !! Bravo!!

[@PatCor1000]

He has some great frugal ideas.

[@robertward553]

Proves you don't have to have all the fancy stuff to make it work. Nice job.

[@BigBikeEnergy]

This box truck is so badass! Love it.

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

agreed. he did a great job

[@CarlottaART]

What a great little home! Cozy, comfortable and very well thought out. Love all of the creative, money saving ideas...like the Berkey etc :-) Fantastic job Dale! Love your mom's artwork... Beautiful! Thank you Seven for another awesome interview and video!!!

[@ithinkhellisbroken9101]

You and your mom is awesome, well done

[@ggcatt]

I loved the simplicity and well thought out design of his truck. His Mother’s art is heart warming.

[@lhasaapso3360]

Great job Dale. To each his own, but you're correct in that upper cabinetry does visually narrow the openness of your space. Everything is neat and organized and the stock pot idea was a real winner. Happy Trails.

[@edgit69]

Love the way you repurposed things. Keep it cheap and simple!

[@allenrousseau5668]

Good morning Seven! Thank you for sharing Dale's Box Truck! What a great home he has made! Got some great ideas! What a blessing to have him help too! You guys take care! Enjoy the day! Savor the moments! God bless!

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Nice rig and homey. Thanks, Dale, for sharing!

[@estarnan]

Excellent build.I COULD easily spend the rest of my traveling days in there. I'm 70!

[@stephaniesmythe8449]

interesting rig, fitting with his T shirt REUSE! Thanks for the tour, Dale and Seven!

[@TJMacJibb08]

I've seen a lot of these box truck builds. This is the most comfortable and creative build I have seen yet. Love the shirt too!

[@jillom6648]

Love the build out and the shout out to Mom❣️

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

he did a great job!

[@donremley7854]

Real nice. Did a great job fixing it up.

[@derekwilkinson7939]

I like it. Cosy and comfortable everything you need without spending a hundred grand. Well done 👍

[@helidude3502]

Well done! While I cannot see designing a van this way, he made excellent use and placement of all the random things acquired to build it. Nothing wasted. Economical. Everything seems to work well together. No need to buy a $3000 rv appliance when a $100 item does the job just fine. Great job Dale !

[@christinamarie3598]

Dale has done a wonderful build...nice!

[@makiwa]

Very nice Dale! Looks very comfortable - and the AC must be a bonus to have. Also just a shoutout to you personally Dale for helping out with Seven's Rental Property - I think it was a bigger help than he lets on! Nice one.... Happy travels. Ciao.

[@rhondalyn100]

Very nice rolling home, Dale...thanks, Seven! :-)

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

Dale did a great job

[@gliderrider]

This is my ideal camper. Very comfy and somewhat stealthy. Just like everything about it!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

it is an awesome camper

[@jeanwest1058]

Yay Dale! Great job. I love all the things you put up to remind you of home, your friends and your mama. It’s definitely a home 💜

[@marthamurray8379]

I could move rite in I love it stay safe from Scotland

[@tonylocks28]

Love it! Box truck duelly wheels! 👍🏼

[@janina8559]

Nice job Dale all the comforts of home.☮️❤️🤗

[@boxtruckcory3002]

Awesome to see how people build their box truck different than I did

[@ohioan7536]

You might be interested in my build too

[@webbtrekker534]

Very nicely done Dale. Good ideas.

[@garrybeard2031]

Awesome just what you can do on a budget great job dale love your van.👍🍺🇬🇧

[@SlipFitGarage]

Dale has a nice setup in that truck. I like the patio/lift gate.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Well thought out and executed Dale is living the dream !

[@lifesatrip5352]

Nice home Dale. I love the windows, and how bright it is inside.

[@playhooky]

Dale - yours is one of my very favorite van or truck builds - very well thought out. & I love your mom's art!

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

I love the art by his mother! And so nice to know that she is very active yet! Yes, I like the box truck very much, he is a good, talented man! LOL Judie

[@karenk7310]

Very nice build, getting some great ideas.

[@heraldo2881]

[@jg-xx8oh]

[@servicedoglydia503]

Great build. Thanks for sharing Dale!

[@servingme09]

[@wisdomandlove1661]

That space in Los Angeles is $1500 per month rent when in a building.

[@joanmilano5302]

Oh, I love his box truck!! Very cool, Dale!

[@SweenyTV]

Nice conversion Dale!

[@xlamontx]

I really like Dale's layout. Fantastic tour.

[@sandragrissom4802]

Resourceful man! Liked his rig and the tour.

[@yolandalavignette5272]

He's done a great job on this box truck. Gives me hope that I can one day turn my dad's box truck into a tiny mobile home!!

[@caneycreekgypsy1871]

Yolanda Lavignette: you go, Girl! 🤗

[@garybrown9719]

Love the lift gate some big box have hydraulic lift gates Tool box great idea LEDs awesome I'm 6'5" love the openness

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Thank you for the tour Seven and Dale for sharing his home on wheels. I'm especially interested in the process of opening the cab to the box because access to the box would be essential for me if I chose the box truck route.

[@DaleBetzandtheSlackerBus]

On my truck the back wall of the truck and the box are one in the same so you can cut any size opening you like.

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

@@DaleBetzandtheSlackerBus Oh my goodness you were lucky. All the ones I been looking at have separate truck cab and I been wondering how I'd boot the connection so that it would flex with movement.

[@RAYSORENSEN]

Dale's box truck is fantastic. Especially like his shower and instant hot water heater setup. Thanks for sharing your talents with us Dale. Ray in Boise

[@Yvonne4Jesus]

Really nice! I like the way Dale fit full size appliances in his box truck home Very roomy and homey!

[@rickhearn7631]

Thoughtful & generous is what I think of about Dale. He seems like a good buddy to me..

[@linuxgoddess6753]

i love it ! its simple yet roomy with everything you need without feeling over cluttered.

[@cam-bo11]

Love his Burkee knock off. I've seen a few now, but his manages to still have some style. 👍

[@danielsweeney6742]

Dale's van is very well put together! Good space utilization.

[@NoName83201]

I love how he reused and kept it open without all the upper cabinets. Great Job!!

[@diamondchamberlin6285]

Wow !! Dale's got some really great ideas there for functionality .

[@bextar6365]

Dale is a very handy man, for sure.

[@paulsuprono7225]

Lookin great, Dale ! You're tempting me . . . becoming 'a Nomad.' You've made it almost simplistic, in its' construction !

[@Mikeykaysuper]

Great setup he has .I like the shelf ideas .I have been struggling with storage ideas in my box truck .I like the open easy access of the shelves. I found the standard size plastic Plano ammo boxes to be very usefull .They hold all kinds of items like small tools , vitamins , shave gear and they stack and have a handle so I just grab a box which I have all labeled and get things I need .They are good for on the road also for a few things I need in the cab.

[@caneycreekgypsy1871]

Great build out! I love it! Very homey!

[@ohioan7536]

I was lucky to meet Dale earlier this year. Very nice guy. Glad to see he's doing well.

[@sharonh1671]

I loved Dale's truck.It just shows you can make a home out of anything and it doesn"t have to be massive.The layout is perfect,.Great job Dalle and you. still has room to move around in the truck

[@bertkelly7650]

Love the back deck.

[@STBRetired1]

WOW, Dale. You are truly a Renaissance man. Skilled in every trade imaginable and also have the eye of an artist. Beautiful job.

[@vansionliving]

Great build,Dale. Ocala,.Florida here.

[@thizizliz]

Dale did a great job converting the truck! It's beautiful and seems to have most everything. Love his shirt! Reuse was his motto for the build and it's brilliant.

[@aljones238]

All a man needs!! Love it.

[@RossPotts]

You could save a lot of power on the entertainment center by going with a Raspberry Pi. It'll work at a computer, and also play DVDs and CDs. All on a 5V power supply. Having everything on either an SSD drive or huge SD cards would keep power needs to a minimum.

[@RossPotts]

In order to not alienate all other geeks on the spectrum, yes, there are other SBCs that could do the same thing.

[@puentedepared6224]

Wow!! There were very many great ideas!

[@thomasbordelon4149]

Nice rig. Love the hurricane stove, I’m surprised you don’t see them in more builds. And the water filter is cool too. Thanks for the tour.

[@mjremy2605]

There is a reason for that. Those burners are at 60,000 BTU instead of 5000 - 9000 BTU typical for RVs. Not meant for indoors they are too hot and can burn your van down.

[@livingitup9647]

Good job, Dale! Really interesting ideas employed there. I esp. love that versatile lift gate!

[@SevenWanderstheWorld]

I love his build

[@mollygrubber]

Dang, that's really well thought out. Great to see such a comprehensive build on a budget.

[@mimimc8685]

Dale how creative ,love your van. The shelves are great. Of course the quilt caught my eye beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@lizlo8586]

You give me hope I can live like this in the nearby future.

[@lindaboyd6067]

Seven thank Dale for the tour of his box truck, love what he did with it, be safe traveling, love ya

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

Perfectly built 👍🏾

[@mrbr549]

Great build out on your box truck Dale! Lots of great ideas and do it your self tips. Looks like everything you need to live comfortably on the road. Thanks for the video Seven!

[@corilia9529]

You got the right set up bruh! I love those shelves you put up instead if the bulky cabinets. And your bed faces the way id want it. Long ways not sideways. And that little art thing was charming!

[@arnecarlsson9740]

Thanks Dale for a great tour, many magnificent ideas. I will copy some of them. Thanks for helping Seven, you are a great guy!

[@boxtrucksurprise2117]

Dales truck looks fun. Used space efficiently I like his water filter idea. I may have to research that myself.

[@bencoleman1893]

That is a great box truck for sure thank you to Dale for sharing it with us.

[@DesertDiva]

It's always interesting to see how other people make their "home on the road." Thanks for sharing Seven... Cheryl in New Mexico

[@Baynesters]

[@mischef18]
