Handyman Builds Off Road Tiny Home Camper & Lives Off Grid for 4 Years

It's all about freedom. Getting the time to do what you want to do, go where you want to go & not being tied down paying rent & bills. You only live once, go for it... 🙂

I LOVE THIS! When I first became aware of tiny homes/campers, people were making them out of whatever they could find. They were so wonderful! Then commercialism came in making all these homes for people....& don't get me wrong, they're beautiful, but there is just something special about something (especially a home) that is made over time by the person living in it. I just really appreciate the time, effort, & learning involved in the process. Awesome job!

[@Down2Mob]

Exactly brenda! It's so cool to see people using what they have available to them! Thx for the comment

[@Fingerprintguy]

Proves that you build to suit you, not someone else. Make it as tall as you need, put storage where you need it. Doesn't have to look pretty, just has to work. Nothing beats the pride of, "I made this!". As viewers we have to keep in mind that these folks are showing us a part of their lives that can be quite personal. We sometimes forget that this is someone's home so we are blessed to have these opportunities. It would be like having a guest to our homes and showing them our top drawer of our dresser. By having folks like these opening up their world to us we get to see a different potential for ourselves. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!

[@keithherring5462]

Thank you so much. It's a bit nerve racking but just want to inspire people 👍

I've watched lots of truck build vids on here, but this one deserves an award for being the most comfy and homely of all.It's like a log cabin on wheels.. I really look forward to updates on this build to see what's next.Thanks for posting n sharing the vid bro

[@Down2Mob]

That's cool Antonio, it really is!

[@visamedic]

Yeah. There’s a guy here in town by the post office, must be a buddies house, he seems to crash there every few months. He’s got a custom made box on the back of his Dodge. Looks very freeing. I’m recently divorced. Always been kind of an anchored nomad. Deer hunt during the fall out of my trailer or truck. Starting to do that more. Working on a plan for two trailer frames. Will probably build one as a concept and sell, then use what I make to build the other one off of the learning from the first. Get my F350 all figured out. Reactivate my Generals license, and maybe go per diem in EMS. I love being a medic, when I actually get to use my training, but even with my, very open schedule, 2 on 5 off, if I could get thing paid off, which I’m getting done, I could have so much more freedom.

[@debradominguez5861]

I really like the video. I started out with the idea of building my camper on an old boat trailer but someone gave me a 16-foot camper that needed a whole lot of TLC and I went that route instead. I do know what it's like to get a plan in your head and a year later change it. I thought Keith's camper was custom and he definitely gave me some great ideas for my next changes.

I bought a 75 jayco song bird and re framed the entire interior with pallet wood and added 3/4 inch insulation and have lived in it in -30 temps in Minnesota I for one can tell you it is way harder to work with the song bird dimensions then it would be to build one from scratch.

[@felixcat9318]

I really like this comfortable, cosy travel cabin, whose practicality and utilitarian fit out is really well considered! As the resident builder, if you can think it, you can build it, and that's a good way to test out future modifications, improvements and upgrades. I think I'd be happier sealing the gaps in the walls and improving insulation. A Fatsco Pet Stove, Model 450 (9.5" High x 6" Diameter) would be perfect in there, and burns wood, charcoal briquettes and coal, giving a good dry heat.

Seen this a few times, it is great to see what he has done in such a small space. His ideas and use of space are great. Fun to see the changes that he's done and the ideas he still has for new additions. It's like his mind is always working on newer ways to change or add on for the better. Most people that work in construction and carpentry have great handywork and craftmanship ideas. To both of you continue your good works and ideas. Safe travels.

[@heatherwatson8273]

If you put a small fan above your doorway, it will help circulate the air, so when you have your heater on it will move the air so it doesn't all stay hot at head height and in the summer it will help move the air around, but because it will be a small fan it won't make the air cool to cold like air conditioning does. I know you already have a fan but if you put another one up near the roof and have both going it will move the air better.

Keith, Thumbs UP for home-built! Any time we get bored, thinking 'heck, we can just buy a RecreationVehicle', we go to the RecreationVehicles shows at the fairgrounds in Eugene Oregon. For decades, my hobby is making fun of RecreationVehicles, the constructio the materials, holes in the roof(the heck?), the factory-installed disasters. And the decals and interiors designed by drunk Romans after leaving a casino job. My sister retired in 2019, and her new hobby is... looking at RecreationVehicles and laughing at the obvious flaws! We full-time since 2003, we understand the freedom. And daily, we hear the skeerdy-cat straights clinging to their security. How is that working for you!
