He built an affordable Tiny Home hidden inside a Box Truck?!

Rory takes us on a tour of his custom DIY Box Truck Overlander, which he built to embrace ski season and avoid high rental prices in the city. Rory's been living on the road for 7 years, and his overlander has allowed him to achieve financial freedom.

[@berndtherrenvolk1951]

Some people are so darned clever and industrious. Truly impressive.

[@ismailmuttaqien1203]

This is genius! The only down side for me is there is no access to the front cab from the living area for more safety measures, other than that this is perfect

[@Nextrio1080]

I had thought about possibly making a cat door from my camper to the cab. But i don't have cats so that got put on hold. If i found myself in bigger cities, or areas i didn't feel as safe i think a human door would be a great addition. It's just complicated and cutting into the chassis would greatly reduce the resale of the truck (without the camper if i ever sold it).

[@ismailmuttaqien1203]

@@Nextrio1080 ok, whatever work best for you brother, stay safe and healthy

[@rayarena879]

I agree. He is very creative.

[@Originalman144]

Yeah, agreed. Having front cab access is a must for me.

[@jonclement]

out the ceiling, across the roof, down the front of the cab

[@arlenem9697]

This is the best box truck built I have seen. This young man is very talented. Can't wait to see his next build.

[@tessasinclair6315]

Absolutely genius. I'm looking forward to anyone coming up with an idea to accommodate three adults, with the same level of diversity, as this build....!? Ideas are already popping into my head, based of this beautiful construction. This is one I'll definitely refer to, often.

[@Nextrio1080]

On my last road trip a friend joined and we ended up making a second bed in the office area. An area that extended the office seat in to the dining area with a mattress topper. Almost felt like a second room with the storage under the monitor. @@tessasinclair6315

[@sh969]

It looked like this was pretty darn close. 2 in the queen bed, and the office space would only need a little length to add a third there.

[@carolewarrenrealtor]

Dude, what an awesome layout, super functional and well designed. Genuis incorporating levels within your space -- honestly, it never seemed or appeared to be only 90 sq ft. Great job!

[@RoamingRobinToronto]

I came from a family of contractors; oh, how I wish I learned a few things from them. Rory thought of everything in this build and covering all seasons is a big bonus too.

[@HurricaneHeather]

Wild build! The desk area blew me away.

[@tonmarinaxxzz]

Well thought out. I think the clean lines and warm interior makes this very home like and appealing. It is so neat and clean. A place for everything and everything in its place. One of the best designs I’ve seen

[@badapple65]

This is probably my most favorite build out I’ve ever seen! When you combine so many important features. The truck itself as the perfect transporter with ability to lift the living pod off, that office area! To sit normally as you would a desk, the access to skylight hidden away with access to the roof! The panels once removed even a place designed to stow away. Then the choice of interior materials of light woods and darker accents & floor. You are gifted and if you churned out building one of these per year where the buyer supplies their own truck you’d really rock your financial freedoms.

[@Nextrio1080]

This Summer might be the season i do just that. Thank you.

[@rhondalyn100]

What a creative, sleek, beautiful design and execution! Thanks for sharing it with us! 🙂

[@GuiAntonioli]

Except for bathroom, this desing is brilliant! I loved the bed and the gaming area, I mean, office... xD

[@shmoklahomie2228]

Yooooo, this is niiiiiiiiice!!!! He killed that build with the multi levels, the office nook, and I loved the curtains 😂😂😂

[@papadaddy1103]

😂😂 I love how you showed your excitement in your spelling that was nice 👍 😊

[@sh969]

Ok, THIS is one of the best builds i've ever seen. Everything seemed open but tons of storage. A usable kitchenette AND a bathroom? Plus a dining area, a separate queen bed AND a separate workspace? In 90 sq ft??? My bedroom is bigger than that and i can't imagine fitting all that in there!

[@jonclement]

and actually used.

[@jeroberts7228]

Wow... Rory's truck home is really somethin' special!

[@meridethhendry5733]

WoW! What an amazing build! Incredibly well planned. What a cool guy!

[@Chris-wn9hi]

This is amazing! I love how he designed the interior, and he has the forethought to have a backup generator, plus extra propane tanks.

[@Nextrio1080]

Things can go wrong fast when temps drop below freezing.

[@tammyjantzen9004]

What a unique & incredible design! Tons of storage! You even have a two drawer file cabinet. You did a great job utilizing space! And beautiful too!

[@Nextrio1080]

I used to have a mini fridge in that cabinet spot and the file cabinet fit perfect. They work so well for heavy storage, food, tools and also very cheap from any used store.

[@kimprice1864]

Articulate, intelligent, personable young man. Brilliant design and finishes. Love everything except his curtains and the blue paint on the exterior.

[@Nextrio1080]

The blue ended up being a bit more electric than any sky i have parked under. A sky color match has been close, but never perfect.

[@deborahg4599]

I had a van built out 3 years ago, I kind of wish I went this route. It’s all really doable and very nice to be able to travel !

[@SonomaMom2]

I think this is the best design I’ve seen ever! I absolutely love it! ❤

[@Soxandnicole]

This build is full of clever ideas and so beautiful. I hope we get to see the next one.

[@billtorrence8102]

i too have been a carpenter, but for 58 yrs....... u did a fine job

[@jennifercristobalharris8284]

This blew me away! What an incredible build!

[@forums]

Wow! This is the most spacious box truck I have seen in a lot in YT. But one of the best.

[@fullpulse2000]

Great build Rory, like the aspect of the varied spaces.

[@achau9909]

What a great planned design. Love it. Well done Rory! Best wishes to you from Canada

[@jennifferhurlburt642]

Man this guy has thought of everything! Such a fantastic build!!!

[@howardbutts1631]

This is the best M H conversion I’ve ever seen.

[@SimplyRochelleParanormal]

I absolutely LOVE THIS design ❤💯 I love the office BUT the cabinets and ALL I Love!! Awesome design!!!

[@Nextrio1080]

Thanks

[@jimmyhoffa2458]

Put a smile on my face through the whole tour. One can tell this makes you happy and what a wonderful job in achieving what you were wanting to have in your LIFE AND HOME. HAPPY LIVING LIFE IN YOUR HOME ON WHEELS. GOD BLESS YOU as you live wherever you want in all HIS BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS.

[@seachelsss]

What a smart and creative man. I love the different levels

[@kimski5391]

What a fantastic home you built!! Talented !😊

[@kimdawcatgirl]

Now this is the best box truck design ever! The layout and thought that went into it is phenomenal! Great color scheme inside and out!

[@opalsmith7030]

This is the most beautiful home, comfortable and cozy home

[@melk.1896]

What a fantastic use of the small space❣ I am super impressed with its functionality yet super homey/cozy feel! 10 out of 10 for the design. Simply brilliant 👍💙

[@charleneheiland8803]

Wow! Terrific and a green thumb too !😉

[@marieneu264]

This is amazing, and definitely different than any build I’ve seen. The “sauna” shower with the beater is genius! I love this!

[@kathleenmckenna8578]

I like all the different layers levels makes it not claustrophobic and had awesome storage. Great job!

[@normg2242]

What a stunning layout...!!! I'd love to see what you could do with an even bigger box!

[@wendylbranchfield7959]

Your design is extraordinary, bravo!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@MsBerries25]

Smart build! I see he's athletic and likes to climb. Ski instructor, very cool

[@amydavis955]

I love his box house. I wish I could have one like that his very creative I like his design inside the house.❤❤❤

[@icare6076]

Wow! What a beautiful design. Totally cozy. ❤

[@janeysiegrist5061]

This is great! Multifunctional and convertible! Pleasant and cozy interior.

[@Afiajustifiee.7]

Such an intelligent build. Wow. Amazing.

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

I’m blown away by this build! Everything in its nook leaving a clean living space. All the necessities anyone would ever need. Love the stove like that. Genius!!! ❤

[@MyAngelina123]

This is cute 😍🩵💙. Keep sharing more and thank you for the joy 🤗🤗

[@taniadolphy5122]

Congratulations on such a great job! It's lovely.

[@cuernavacadave]

That is one of the most ingenious build’s I’ve ever seen!! Awesome job!

[@Jsfreedom]

Not often, am I impressed, but this is absolutely elegant, genius, and cozy!

[@andrewsneacker1256]

Genius design! Dude is briliant!

[@fcbrants]

That's an Amazing build, thanks for sharing!!

[@tatymschneider6681]

Fantastic build! - very creative use of space with the different levels. I'm super impressed with how well thought out the entire layout is. And he clearly enjoys the planning & building process since he is already thinking ahead to a version 2.0. Thanks so much for sharing this space with us! I look forward to seeing the innovations of his next build!

[@youtubehandol]

best planned box i've seen.

[@bodytemplestudio]

THIS is an amazing build!!! Love the levels!! They make separate spaces and feels much larger. Awesome

[@jillmarsh8256]

Yes one of the best ones I’ve seen. The bathroom I wouldn’t be able to deal with but I guess it is all up to what’s important to you

[@pakkycs1]

This is by far the best layout I’ve ever seen.. very beautiful, a lot of storage and living space..

[@dorisweems1510]

Very ingenious, I love it. He has everything.

[@matej.m.rejsek8537]

I like that he built to whole thing on a stake bed, so that he has an option for mobile and semi-permanent living situations. Plus if the NPR gets old and creaky he always has upgrade options to a different truck (diff make/bigger model/all wheel drive/etc) platform.

[@Nextrio1080]

The flatbed on this NPR came from an old 1992 Mitsubishi. The upgrade to this NPR a few years ago was so nice.

[@Oli3TB76]

That design is pure brilliance!

[@hardy2921]

the office nook is some next level stuff!

[@11selle]

The best built ever.....

[@stuartsutherland7664]

Wow! The clever use of space is great. I like how the box section can be jacked up and the truck can be driven away or replaced with another truck. Very impressive!

[@Nextrio1080]

It came in handy once when taking the truck to the shop. Also knowing if i ever got in an accident where the truck was totaled i could pretty easily buy a trailer and plop it on top.

[@orangekayak]

I love the box in just set on a flatbed truck. If the truck needed major repairs, you could scrap the truck and just get a new one. These NPR’s are a dime a dozen, but this box is amazing.

[@Nextrio1080]

It's comforting knowing if the truck ever has a complete failure, or I get in an accident I could buy a trailer and plop it on.

[@miaeade3148]

You are wise and inventive. Enjoy your travels❤❤❤

[@johnstutzer8664]

Innovative and well executed. Bravo!

[@thereseshine7506]

Clever design.

[@Mary-go8xc]

This is an awesomely cleaver build. Rory is quite talented. Enjoyed this video. TY for sharing.

[@sherriweber7105]

This is a great tiny box truck home. He did a great build on this box truck home.

[@W4ABN]

I like this take on multi use spaces. Really nice the box can be removed. Really nice style. Thanks for sharing.

[@timgillman]

Great design with plenty of storage for things like the disco ball of mirrors. 😆

[@d12tu68]

the style inside beautiful 🌟🎆🎆⭐️⭐️🟪

[@mattman8569]

Minus the bathroom/shower, I would love in this!

[@clementmartinez121]

Most impressive. ur pops taught you well, the rest is your talent. sweet.

[@anthonyvisor8880]

Awesome tiny home!! It is beautiful, and He is creative and talented!

[@user-kb4od4fg5s]

[@SF-ru3lp]

Extremely well designed! Fabulous elements. Best regards. G Ire

[@MagdalenaShakti]

Excellent design!!!!!

[@lindawitherspoon446]

Wow! That’s beautiful. You are very clever.

[@noregrets7469]

Thank you so much Jenna for taking me on these wonderful tiny house journeys. I’ve had not only a great time seeing all these great homes but I like to think that I’ve leaned a lot from them. I still haven’t made that jump to tiny home living but one saying I live by is… “que sera, sera”. I wish you and all the participants in this fabulous easy going channel, a Merry Christmas, a prosperous and a safe New Year🌹

[@lindysmith13]

ooooh, disco ball and fur, party van! it's beautiful

[@Nextrio1080]

Sure is.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

Genius build. I think the dining area and desk area could be converted to guest bunks.

[@Nextrio1080]

That was the plan, but it was never finished that way.

[@nikorawirimana6443]

Stunning abs beautiful. Good work.

[@brendaokuda2158]

Awesome! I absolutely ADORE this build! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Having 2 ways to cook & hiding your toilet? Genuis!!! I also love the way you used levels to create MUCH more storage space while keeping the overall love clean & beautiful. Looking forward to seeing your Overlander 2 upload! I bet you come up with even more space saving ideas. 💞💞💞

[@Nextrio1080]

Thank you :)
