DIY Capsule-Hotel in a VAN - Start to Finish | DIY Uhaul Box Van Conversion

[@kennethmaese4622]

I’ve been binge watching videos on this channel since 3am and it is currently 6am so it’s safe to say that this channel is my current obsession for multiple reasons. Of course I subscribed.

[@baconnathan1]

THANK YOU finally somebody did a fucking diy capsule hotel AND IN A UNHAUL 🤯 I appreciate your content man.

[@opossumgrylls3275]

It wasn't until today that I heard/read the term "capsule hotel". I still have no idea what it means.

[@DaDavidVids]

At the end I legit said "This looks like a little hotel" without knowing the title. You have so many clever ideas that continually wow me. Can't wait until my build is further along.

[@kylekyle7386]

You have done a fantastic job with your box van. I really like how you maximize the what you can. The inside looks very big in the back.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

FYI for the future Steel Wool comes in 4 grades from coarse to fine 0, 00, 000, 0000, Scotch Brite comes in 4 colors coarse to fine Red, Green, Gray, White (or sometimes Tan) you can get the latter in bulk at any Auto Paint Supply store! also the latter does not leave fine metal fibres all over the [CENSORED] place!

[@jmhodge12755]

Way cool on the looks there bro it turned out really nice

[@oxygeninduced]

Mainly just commenting for algorithm boost, but great job as usual. I'm excited to see what you do with the murphy/pully bed.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Ayy algo gang

[@MrScrapinfrontier]

On those trim pieces with the 45* angles around the cubby pockets. Try using a CA glue to glue the trim together. Then attach to the wall you will end up with much cleaner joints. Overall great work man this is definitely an inspiration to get out work/finish a project.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Nice I'll try that out

[@workwithjoshua]

My man! You’re completely knocking it out of the park with this series. I’m looking to build my own here in Australia and your videos have been a massive help. I’ll catch you in Locals

[@TD0TD]

As a joke, I always say-- Put your butt sweat and tears into your work. Joking aside, this build is extremely impressive. Everything you do is meticulously thought out and executed. It's been a joy to watch.

[@jimmyd2434]

been watching this since the start and its amazing the transformation. Really enjoy these videos and it all coming together! Keep it up!

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Thanks! OG!

[@KOKI_OFFICIAL]

Binge watched to this point. You are so talented and innovative. You are very inspirational. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.

[@vivienhill7934]

precision and meticulous craftmanship...superb

[@donaldfrazier5244]

I’ve saved every video as reference for my eventual build ,so impressed with your attention to detail and including some mistakes made that you recover nicely from,thanks awesome build!

[@billblecher9215]

What a beautiful job

[@stevenwolfe2279]

It looks pretty posh! Here is an idea that you may want to use on your skylight. Some boats have a screen that slides in from the side or the end so that you can keep bugs out. (You see this on overhead port windows). It also has a shade that pulls in from the other side or end that totally blocks all of the light out. It runs on the same track. When they are both open, you have an open hole that you could go through. These are probably pretty expensive to buy, but I think that you could build one from some channel aluminum pretty cheaply and easily with off the shelf screens and shades and some custom cutting.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Yeah I do plan on adding retractable shade/screen I just cant find where everyone is getting the custom sized ones made

[@jamielspencer6185]

Bedroom looks great super clean bro. Thank you for these videos really helping me with my uhaul truck design.

[@grey8940]

your channel is so awesome... great work

[@umairsajid7884]

Your hard work pays off... Very nice and beautiful.

[@scottschrader8348]

Looks awesome 👌

[@ZadeZenmOm]

🎉beautiful job

[@frankyb9682]

Outstanding!!!

[@jimmydickson8854]

Nice job a lot of work you put into that small space ,jimmy Australia

[@luckylor9812]

This came out so Awesome! One of the best builds I've seen. Can't wait for the full tour. Would Add a small Tv monitor in the caplsue but total optional but would definitely tie in the whole japanese hotel them

[@MistressGomorahhReigne]

I love your work! Keep it up! New Subscriber From Houston!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Just found your channel. Great build series. Binge watching tonight 👍💪🤙

[@ELEVEN410]

I love the look and color and it does remind me of a capsule hotel, although it's a more modern American style. From watching your videos i already know you could do a Full Japanese capsule style. What about a Japanese inspired version of a tiny home? I feel Japanese style instills some calmness in their designs

[@RoamAndRipple]

Oh yeah you definitely captured the capsule hotel style! I forgot you were building in an uhaul by the end of the video

[@Mfullen09]

Beautiful work!

[@judytassone7504]

You exercise such attention to detail. Love watching your video’s. What is the finished width/length of the bed? Great work.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Thanks! It's about 24" wide by 80" long.

[@donaldfrazier5244]

I’m thinking a small fan,reading light and a shelf for books?

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Yeah I gotta use it for a bit to figure out what's missing

[@donaldfrazier5244]

Looking forward to a full tour and operational demonstration, I’m hoping to duplicate your build for about 30k ? Is it doable

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

@@donaldfrazier5244 30k definitely doable as long as you do everything yourself

[@igorchichkin509]

❤❤❤🎉🎉WoW magnificent love it 😊😊❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@delasse3178]

love the work dog

[@MotoMiles]

I have a question and thank you in advance. I am a lover of your channel. I’m keeping a rollup door and I was wondering can I use two by fours to frame the ceiling I’m gonna put a thick tongue and groove over the plywood there. Or should I use to buy threes? My only issue is I have a bunch of two by fours already.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

2x4 would be a bit excessive weight-wise. You can probably use the smaller ones. I plan on framing my next ceiling with trimmed-down 2x4s.

[@MotoMiles]

Thanks for the fast reply. I was thinking the same thing yeah so I’ll hold off on the two by fours. I thought they be thick as well.

[@billofrightsamend4]

It's really difficult to stain with the poly mixed in and have it look professional. I use to use that minwax oil sheen. They're discontinuing it. 🙁

[@s.devries4349]

love ! your vdo

[@opossumgrylls3275]

Would it make sense for build number two to finish all the walls and ceilings before building any cabinetry and ducts? So much easier to manage big sheets rather than scabbing tiny little pieces.

[@DiscoverAfricanHeritage]

Beautiful. How many months did this take to complete from start to finish?

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

About a 15 months so far

[@marekdenn]

I would need more room for activities as they say 👀

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Current plan is to add another queen-sized bed in the living room area either murphy style or pulley style. But for solo travel, this is the main sleeping area

[@STARFLEETC0MMAND]

Any exterior attic reinforcement for withstanding the extra weight and movement when having female guests over ??? 😉🤣✌️🖖 Doesn't that attic area have a weight limit of around 200-300 lbs ???

[@billofrightsamend4]

I have a relative who would drive to city hospital for chemo. This would be perfect for someone getting cancer treatment. They could get close to the hospital and be comfortable.

[@SuperClare]

Wow!

[@Hollymidlife]

have you estimated weight once you have completed the build? just thinking of load, manuervability and fuel mileage. and SAFETY GLASSES my friend.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Hard to estimate weight. In my head I think I'll be significantly under cap, but I'll probably end up underestimating. Plan on weighing it soon to see where I'm at. The mileage is basically pegged at about 10-11mpg regardless of load. I was getting about 11 hauling all of my stuff + towing my car from CA.

[@KoriTV]

Come on matrix glitch! That look back at the camera made the mistake worth it 😂

[@margarettrusty6101]

I'm glad you finally got a chop saw! It was painful watching you make all those cuts with your little jigsaw.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Tell me about it

[@babsk4071]

I Haven’t forgotten how EXPENSIVE TRIM PIECES ARE .. Whew

[@bayleykelley6958]

Did you buy the truck from Facebook marketplace?

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

Direct from uhaul

[@Mark_Bayer]

How do you know how to all of this work???

[@NicReid4]

When is a tour

[@JunkRemovalPro]

I am in Scottsdale so I know the heat all too well.

[@deadman252]

All you need now is a small tv installed in there

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

I will probably end up installing a TV on the cubby wall.

[@deadman252]

@@TheTechnoBarbarian yeah especially if you decide to put up a servalance system up

[@ronaldduck7567]

Along the front edge of your solar panels put a hinged antenna rod that you can reach out from your hatch to raise and lower. Run the cable in thru the vent then cubby wall.

[@TheTechnoBarbarian]

@@deadman252 Yeah I'll definitely have a surveillance system

[@ronaldduck7567]

Make sure the DVR has alarm outputs that trigger a buzzer when movement is detected in the zones you choose

[@agentofficerthomasa.porter107]

Memory Foam Matress Bed'n Yesterday Was Proven To Be Toxic To The Body & Not Safe For Human Usage In Any Bed'n. The Organic Bed'n Is Available In The Memory Foam Format. Have You Thought With The Bed Room Area With Chemicals You Have Used, When Heated Release Toxin's Over Time Hazardous To Human Consumption? Been Following You Since The Start Of Your Build & Design Is Very Interesting. always, Tommy :-)

[@matjam421]

It's time to get high. 😂

[@geejaybee1970]

This confined little box lined in wood would have too much of a coffin-like feel to it.

[@opossumgrylls3275]

Coffins are usually lined with fabric.

[@billofrightsamend4]

I would just use stain and then a clear poly over the stain. It never comes out looking good with the poly mixed in. I don't know why they sell the crap like that. It ruins your job. That's been my history with it.

[@owade1814]

🏃 p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾

[@rocketman7156]

Or just get smaller dance partners

[@victor58010]

Pity you didn't think to insert the panel down through your roof hatch....
