His secret beach house is inside a box truck!?

Avid surfer, Scott, takes us on a tour of his off-grid box truck tiny home, which he likes to park on one of California's most popular beaches. The inside has everything he needs, including a bedroom, kitchenette, big screen tv, ari conditioning, and a bathroom to rinse off after a long day of riding waves. And the views rival those of the million-dollar homes next door!

Move to a less expensive state and build your own retirement cabin out of stabilized rammed earth. 1600 sq ft with metal roof, rainwater collection,and minimal energy usage.

[@gotflute123]

You are right: that view is AWESOME. I never thought of this before this video, but what if the police don't like that he is there, or he gets pulled over: there are many stories here on YT of having vehicles confiscated/towed... it is bad enough if it is your car, but in his case, it is his home. And I don't think the "if you don't want trouble from the police, don't break the law" is a valid argument in 2024... Also, the police seem to be more willing/able to find excuses to search vehicles much more easily than homes. However, depending on the state, it might be a risk no matter if you live in something like this or a house. (not trying to start a fight: just curious what others think...)

How is the air inside with the cedar paneling ? I wonder can you smell the cedar scent ,it is supposedly a lung irritant ,so I was wondering how it is to sleep or stay inside without an open window or air flow through . It looks great ,especially the floor storage & smell proof toilet. I have damaged lungs do to a work accident and have to take air flow & scents into account, as not to trigger an attack. The salty air is good , we stay on the EastCoast but a build of our own would giv us more freedom to choose , each item that goes inside. Not looking to stay more that a week and change a month.

[@indianaslim4971]

​@@krimpoo As someone who's been a nomad for 13 years it takes a certain type of personality, minimalist, loner (not to be confused with anti-social, just self sufficient and not needing a large group of friends/family near at all times). As with all things there's good and bad, I am an urban nomad with a stealth Ford cargo van, zero problems with police or businesses running me off but have had 4 attempts of people trying to steal my catalytic converter, twice in Biloxi, MS, once in Garland TX, once in Irving TX, it's what happens when they don't know someone is inside. I bought a welder and cut up some bed frames found on the side of the road, welded the pieces to my exhaust system (resembles a dragons tail now) and no attempts for 3 years now. The only thing about this build that I'm not a fan of is that he has no direct access to the cab, if someone wants to steal the truck there's little he can do except go along for the ride.

I can tell you, I've watched thousands of these build videos, from manufacturers to diy, and diy turned professional. I also regularly complain about the high-cost and cookie-cutter design of builds.

This build solves every pet peeve I have. I thought I might have caught him on a safety issue, as the box cannot access the cab, which is a serious fire hazard in the back. But his shower hatch window offers escape :) Just a gorgeous and brilliant design, altogether. The electric system is pristine. Those windows! This build is a huge "Wow!"

Very cool. He's got it figured out. Good for him. Also good for inspiring others and showing a solid alternative.

[@nawab256]

the best design ever. checks off all the boxes. has bed, living room, kitchen, bathroom and shower. all that in such a small portable space and clean set up. i will copy this if i ever have the money to do so lol

[@nicethings388]

This was SO satisfying to watch. So well thought out and executed and yes, the wiring. 🤩

[@robertjirava942]

I wish to say that this is possibly the best demonstration of practical thinking resulting in a highly liveable tiny home, that I have ever seen. He can park that rig anywhere. There is a drawback. It’s only for warm climes. Other than that it’s brilliant. It’s loaded with great features that I have not seen anywhere else like the underfloor storage. Why didn’t I think of that??

[@scotttwapple]

I will call it a 3 season Vehicle. I prefer not to be. Thats why its on wheels. Add a diesel heater. It would be 4 season. It is very well insulated.

[@Rando9876]

I have a feeling you are an engineer or similar by trade. The ability to plan so well before building is impressive! did you use software that let you model it to get an idea? Did you make changes after starting certain things? because if it nailed it on the first go, thats even more amazing.@@scotttwapple

[@jttasb]

@@scotttwapple yeah he mentions that it does have a fitting for a diesel heater at 3:17 But something tells me that a lifelong resident of California is not about to change up and enjoy cold weather elsewhere :) ..but hey, who knows?

[@jeanstrait2904]

Most beautiful rig. Dude enjoying life at the fullest. U have it all. Enjoy every moment and young enough to still enjoy surfing!

[@wander570]

This is one of the most clever builds I've seen. This guy thought of everything.

[@xXDanielXx321]

What a different life. Retired, no commitment and absolutely free to do whatever.

[@coffee6783]

The microwave under the bed is the one thing I couldn't live with, but the rest is amazing, even has a washing machine. Love it! 👍👍

[@TheTruthKiwi]

I guess it depends how much you microwave stuff but yeah, it isn't very practical there but was probably the only place it would fit.

[@jamesfrench7299]

If it results in a worthwhile space benefit, I'd happily live with it. Beats no microwave every time.

[@scotttwapple]

It is the only place it would fit. It is only one step from the kitchen. It does seem to bother some people. Not me.

[@michaelax3025]

Well, thank God it’s not your problem since this tiny home has zero to do with you

[@TheTruthKiwi]

@@michaelax3025 You realize the KZbin comments section is for making comments right? Why so triggered?

[@hollyvick181]

I love how he has the guitar etc. In glass and the glass in the bathroom door. The under floor storage is awesome.

[@Jesse-gr2xo]

I'm glad to see someone surviving and doing what they want. I wish him well!

[@mauricekiner1835]

I drove the same box truck, and never thought of the possibilities, AMAZING 🎉

[@jamiebray8532]

Man, this is by far the best set up I've ever seen. And to have never been plugged in, WOW! 😮

[@catspaw3815]

Wow, so carefully thought out. And raising the floor for storage underneath was pure genius. Great job, Scott!

[@ginalynn4493]

This genius ! I’ve been Rv traveling for 5 yrs. This is one of the best designs I’ve ever scene ! Great job

[@unixman1891]

WoWzers. I agree, the best layout and setup I’ve ever seen. Great job, you are living the like Scott.

[@Ann-cx3dd]

SERIOUSLY awesome!! As a San Diego native, I can see why you built this! LOVE it!

[@the_katman2181]

The sunken pantry is a stroke of genius. This whole build is great.

[@MrLasox]

This is the best tiny house i ever seen since the 1th video i saw about the movement. Amazing!

[@simonmeszaros2770]

had this idea and was quite surprised i havent seen it earlier as i was researching a bit the scene. Very encouraging to see it running..

[@dfreak01]

I've watched hundreds of RV & van life videos. This build is my favorite by far!

[@bigvrocks2480]

WOW, I''ve been looking at special builds for years, but Scott you are pretty amazing. You've got more tricks up your sleeve than a Las Vegas Magician! Great work/design! Great video!

[@Kraypaper]

The best van build I've ever seen, period.

[@lappy0749]

Nicely done! I love that it's stealth too! You hit a home run with this build!
