DIY Box Truck Tiny House W/ Elevator Bed, Toilet & Shower

[@TinyHomeTours]

Here is a perfect example of how versatile the box truck conversion is. This is a fantastic Tiny House On Wheels!

[@josephhughes9490]

Awesome build but how does one receive mail??? How hard is it to do your banking???

[@marcj3757]

@@josephhughes9490 You can get some of your mail by email and some p.o. boxes will scan any piece of mail you get and email it to you. You can do online banking.

[@edlikestoboogie]

It totally is awesome. I have a friend Brian that is dying to get one of these. He's been living in the woods since his girlfriend left him last week. But he's got a ton of dirty laundry to wash. Can he outfit a smaller washing machine in there? Something good enough to deal with stubborn blood stains on linens?

I love the way anyone who installed actuators for bed lifts, speed up the film cause they are SOOOOOO DAMN SLOW!!🤣 I went with a remote control atv winch system that lifts in 5 secs👍

[@harryandlyss]

Hi Robert, I'd love to learn more about your winch system if you wouldn't mind sharing. Perhaps i'll use it on a future build!

[@katrinasheets2997]

Very nice little home! They have everything they need INCLUDING a bathroom!!! The space seems very functional and doesn't seem cramped or claustrophobic at all. They even have a CLOSET!!! I love what they were able to do with such a small space. Happy traveling!!!

[@staceyrivas4962]

Van looks great!!

[@uphilliceskater]

You have to not mind hearing your partner blow up the bathroom every day.

[@slackerman9758]

When there are two, I can see how having a bathroom would really be a plus.

[@Kelly_Ben]

What an awesome couple. Love their "van" build too, it's got tons of storage and all the necessities!

[@Kueytwo]

I think I would do this design with some tweaks to make it mostly electric. Hybrid van, fewer interior materials, underfloor heating, bamboo flooring, foldable small sywtch bike, hand-cranked wonderwash for off grid laundry; electric oven; composting toilet, flexible folding solar panels. Lithium batteries. Murphy bed to fold over seating area. Self-drying door for shower. Strong extractor fan. Bin for laundry and space for trash can.

[@readingsbycara]

Love some of your suggestions. Namely: In floor heating Bamboo flooring Composting toilet Self drying shower door Murphy bed ...

[@calicolyon]

I love this conversion!! It's compact yet truly looks like a home.

[@pamelagroves2142]

Put drawers in the shoe box so you can separate & find particular shoes easier. Even better is a half drop shoe shelf, I don’t know what else to call it. Put the box on a swivel so you can use 2sides of the box for shoes, making better use of space & accessibility.

[@kims1912]

That's really nicely done! Love the elevator bed! Gives extra space for the seating area, table.

[@lmmaude]

Really usable and attractive design. I love the open feeling.

[@LeviKellyTours]

Very cool! Awesome couple as well

[@cliffandalana]

Love your Chanel man by far my favorite youtuber!

[@livingitup9647]

Really nice build! Lots of nice touches & it seems spacious, not cramped -- largely due to the elevated bed. I love that you used Marmoleum for the flooring. It's a great, easy care product, and I'm surprised that more van builds aren't using it. You did a great job. Hope it serves you well on your journeys! 🌟☮

[@mythoughts2355]

Most don’t have that spacious room. Very organized good size kitchen and living room /dinnet area. And got toilet and shower , bed is genius. Smart build.

[@Rspknlikeab0ssxd]

Hey, absolutely epic build! Do you know and would you be willing to tell me what a place like yours would cost to build? I'm just in love with the idea now omg

[@JenniferEmme81]

Absolutely love this layout!!! Very practical and has a minimalistic feel. Also seems very roomy and so much storage!! So many ideas for when I'm able to build my own! Awesome!

[@rae1957tn]

Don’t let time pass you by . Blink and you’re too old to do it or your health has gone down.

[@amywalker7515]

I really would like to make a box truck RV. I really like your layout. You really seem to have a lot of space. How long is the box part of the truck? We need two separate sleeping areas as well as at least one desk. Having a drop down bed/murphy bed and convertible furniture gives you so much more space and utility. Your entire rig is fabulous. Great job.

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

Outstanding house on wheels. Great tour.

[@boyanmladenov]

These are the advantages of a box van over a regular one. Enough space for everything you need. Very nice couple, it was nice to watch, especially since I have a similar plan to implement. I'm interested in the internal dimensions of the box if they want to share.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Think so too. It’s a much more optimal space then a van. I would definitely go for that one too.

[@FunnyAnimalsCrew]

This is very cool ... I love this thing awesome. What was the final cost to build this ? I would love to do this

[@lishas2582]

What an amazing truck house you both have made. It must be cool being on the road!🙂

[@OnlineCourseExpert]

Sharing your home and seeing your build, just made me realize that a box truck is so much better option for me than a shuttle bus or mini Skoolie - thank you!

[@StillFab44]

I’m starting to agree with you

[@monoshock57]

Same here.

[@richardcallaway4093]

I can't believe my eyes. Amazing! I've been freelancing several years as well and this is definitely living the dream. Live in Arkansas and would love to see the great NW! Hope to keep in touch regarding your adventures! Thanks for the awesome review. You should be very proud! That elevator bed rocks. Plus you two are the most organized individuals in the solar system. Well done! So I know who to contract when you want to build one in your spare time? haha Peace & God Bless. Rich

[@kaydle50]

You did a beautiful job. Very attractive spacious feel to your build. Well done, you guys. 😀

[@joakimhjelm-svennesen8984]

What a nice box truck conversion! It looks simple and minimalistic. Great with the barn like doors in the back to open up the inside and bring the outside in when parked at a beach or some other place with an extraordinary view. Not to forget the elevating bed to save space and the door to the cab area. However I would probably build a sliding door to the toilet and still use the toilet in a more traditional way and use a bag. But all together a great build!

[@TheCrevette1988]

Hi guys! Awesome build. Would it be possible to know the dimensions of your van cabin before all the modifications? I wish you both great adventures

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

Gorgeous space! May your travels always match your expectations,

[@ilianademoor8099]

Wow!! What a beautifully designed place! And the two of you? The icing on the cake (if this awesome truck was a cake 😄!!) Cheers you guys!

[@momonthego9318]

Love the van build. I am doing my own box truck conversion and wanted to know about the type of batteries you installed in your build?

[@harryandlyss]

We used 100ah lithium iron phosphate batteries!

[@cigarmann]

No dog?

[@jonchalk3855]

I love the lighting inside the box truck. Great work on the layout and design. Looks professionally made. 👍

[@brandonmoore5770]

Very nice build my only suggestion is if you don't already have one I'd recommend getting a carbon monoxide detected

[@Fontashia]

This is such a beautiful build. I am in the research stages and plan on a future build. Dallas rent is getting insane. Thank you for your inspiration ❤

[@KMF3]

I've watched a ton of these tours tours and here is what I think would improve them.. Do a overall walk through of the entire space 1st starting with the outside and then the inside then go back over the details.

[@HunterMann]

Such good design work, thoughtful planning and a nice aesthetic. The only thing I would change is to have a square or rectangular table instead of round. Happy trails!

[@ozzyseda]

This box truck conversion is PERFECT !!!!!!! . ONE OF THE BEST

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

GREAT BUILD! Ball park price for your build? I working in budget(s) for different options.

[@harryandlyss]

We spent around $20k on the build. Could’ve done it much cheaper if we used upcycled materials

[@bjwieland-doucet5917]

@@harryandlyss That's my plan. To use as much up/recycled things as I can. Some will have to be new, for me anyway, like the loo & bath fixtures. 😆 I'm a "dumpster diver/curb crawler" to the bone. I'm a firm believer in the Habitat Re-Store. Thanks for giving me a hopeful budget. 😆

[@alysonfisher3611]

What a great build! Compared to van conversions, ambulance conversion, & other different types of box trucks, this by far is the best one! It feels & seems so spacious in comparison to other builds & conversions. The shower even appears to be a nice size! Very, very nice! Absolutely love it!!

I would agree normally, however, in small confined spaced rounded edges make a huge impact.

[@josephhughes9490]

Awesome build. Very inspirational.

[@theyframedme]

Very beautiful design, something I would like to point out for all potential builders (critique) is the butchers block counter tops. Though they do look good, they are not recommended for use in this way as they will swell and warp in little to no time at all. If you wish to use a wood top as a counter, wall, floor, etc. Redwood is the #1 wood to use as it does not warp as most mixed woods or your typical woods do. Redwood handled great through all the seasons and will last you your entire lifetime 80+ yrs before any noticable change occurs. Butcher blocks tend to warp and swell 3-5 yrs after install. Most of the cases it's not really noticable to the untrained eye, as the swelling usually occurs in the middle and is visible on the bottom. Around 7 yrs you will see warping occurring where corners lift up in different directions, etc. The changing of temps/humidity/etc contribute greatly to this (changing of the seasond). Redwood can be treated to resemble any type of wood design you like (yes even made to look like a butcher block) without the chemical treatment of most common butcher blocks. I like the way you guys used your space, it's designed is wonderful and homely.

[@glowingsme7943]

This couple may last only 3 yrs at the most in travel about… after a while, seeing all and traveling and saving money, many find an area they really liked from their travels, settle down, and have kids OR close travel leads to breakup.

Definitely subscribed the build looks awesome ,planning stage for me and I’m stealing ideas for my own moving van conversion in stealth mode!

[@vonheise]

I keep getting links to van/ box truck builds and I like the stealth ones the best as they can be parked most anywhere, however yours is pretty close to that, and about the best, complex build I have seen! I don't know whether you got your ideas from your friend, KZbin, books, or just experience. I love all the lighting options! I am 75 and now enjoying what others do with sailing the world and "seeing" new places, and building stuff. I built a more complete than most "hippy van" in my 20s, and have messed with boats over the years, but now have an Air 2 and new Mavic 3 that I travel and camp with.

[@earlhawkins5388]

You two are absolutely genius!!! Inspiring to me.

[@chrispatriot]

Nice layout. One thing I didn't catch while watching the video, is how many "gray tanks" do you have? I'm assuming they're separate. Right? One for shower, one for your sink?? And just out of curiosity, I'm probably going with a mid sized Limo Bus conversion, but will also use 6 Lithium batteries. How many solar panels were you able to put on your roof with the other items already there. Like you mentioned the Sky light on the bed, and the A/C unit. I know the space on a small van like that is limited.

[@arthurperrea3714]

Nice Build, Where did you get your bed lift and if you build it please share the details ,Best Regards

Beautiful conversation. You have everything you need. Best of luck to you both!!

[@tamtam777]

if the door to the cab was insulated then it would be warmer and I would secure that door better...also the toilet seems to be an afterthought but overall great use of space...

[@barbarajonda5122]

Great build, all the necessary comforts. Have you looked into recycled water systems?

[@Dr.PhDeez]

I want to do a recycled water system in my next build. Currently have a skoolie, but might look into doing a van or boxtruck/cubevan next. I don't plan to have a built-in shower though because it's rare that we use ours. Most likely we make an outdoor one.

You have tons of storage and drawers and that is great but I think your shower is a little too small. You only have 1 window--it must be hot or stuffy. Where is your entrance to the van--only through the back? Common you found each other after so many years--make a commitment and be legally married.

Elevator beds in tiny home vehicles are awesome. For this one though, my question is, how do you get on it when you stop it so high? I really do wish they'd show people getting on and off the bed when the bed is higher than normal.

[@JKarle]

Just a lovely conversion, well done! With an induction cooktop and you fridge both running of off 120v, how do you find the load on the battery - I believe in the video you mentioned being able to go a week on battery and solar alone? After that are you required to drive the vehicle or connect to shore power?
