TINY HOUSE TOUR || DIY Self Converted Off-Grid 6x6 Overland Vehicle

[@TinyHomeTours]

When it comes time to get off the grid, a 6x6 is a perfect rig! Anyone else dream of living in something like this?

[@wadejameson6168]

Tiny Home Tours Great build. My favorite actually.

[@rachelk5720]

this is the best rv I have seen because it was built ground up! LOVE ! :)

[@applemarkwantsvids]

I would LOVE to make this build. Skoolies are awesome, but this is NEXT level in customization, power, and ability.

[@artkock6150]

Great job!! I love it and very well thought out. I was going to ask why you swung the refrigerator doors that way but then noticed they would have pinched on the wall if they went the other way. Good thinking on conserving space.

[@richbrunner7044]

I'm actually in the process of purchasing the truck to start my build on. I'm just waiting until I have the cash in hand.

[@Chassorenson]

“Not bulletproof” haha. I live 2 streets up from this gentlemen and almost daily I’ll drive by this beast. Very impressive build!

[@Chassorenson]

Just noticed in the video he drove past my house at the end lol

[@availanila]

You live in a lovely place.

[@Batlas]

It always blows my mind how many houses plant grass in their yard in the valley. If I didn't see the mtns in the background I would've assumed Cali.

[@brendadawson9339]

Can you give me his contact info

[@peteaulit]

I wish he was my neighbor so I could help and learn to make my own rig

[@midnightmoon3550]

What a grandpa!!! Im sure his grandkids and kids feel very lucky and blessed and extremely proud to call him Dad/Grandpa.

[@meganmills4025]

I wish I were as smart as this great individual.

[@jcsmith725]

Man you really did a fantastic job with this! I bet your wife, children and grandchildren are so proud and just love spending time on there. Just a wonderful job!! Well done! Thank you for your service as well!

[@dand5829]

Incredible. This gentleman has probably forgotten more things than I've learned.

[@cencoast_7.340]

Probably in the last week alone

[@robertmoore6663]

I feel the same way.

[@josephpmcl1241]

What did he forget?

[@choopa1670]

😂🤣

[@timwegman5776]

True that

[@douglasharley2440]

"...*another* queen bed." lol pretty cool monstrous beast of an rv!

[@Marimilitarybrat]

I love the way he constantly includes his family in the camper plans.

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

As much as I love camping I'm just like this gentleman, I want to go where no one else is and not just be on top of other campers. Also with that 6x6 he'll be able to roll right over anything he comes across. Beautiful overall build with incredible craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing this with us all. 🙏🏻

[@justincooper1927]

I drove from Cape Town South Africa to London England across the entire continent of Africa when I was 25 in a rig I did myself. 30 years later I live in America and want to build a rig exactly like this! Great job, very very well done! Exactly what I want to do.

[@leannaestep3066]

This is probably one of the best thought out builds I've ever seen. Excellent job!

[@wrbergner]

What a cool use of a tactical vehicle. Every space was utilized in a specific way with dynamic results. Excellent craftsmanship! Enjoy your many adventures!

[@cannonroberts5129]

WOW, This is the best homebuilt Military conversion I have seen on KZbin!! Do you think he would you consider sharing the plans for this Awesome 6X6?

[@ihatefrogs4390]

i was thinking that

[@robertmoore6663]

Some here. That is the best build I've seen.

[@jflstc]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BUILD. This guy is a Master of Design.

[@danwoods871]

I love this truck I drive past it at least once a week and have wondered what the inside looked like not disappointed. Beautiful build

[@swilliams2575]

A Harsco/BMY M939A2 truck, built in Marysville Ohio from 1987 to 1994. I probably touched some part of that truck back then. Glad to see one resurrected and given a new life.

[@clenaghen123]

This man has an amazing re-build! He has come up with very creative ideas,,, thank you, this was very interesting!

[@sinfullyblondie]

You are a Genius Sir :) I just Love everything about it.

[@ianmangham4570]

@Vladimir Go cry in a corner SNOWFLAKE

[@MediaFilter]

Still one of the most memorable builds I've seen, just returned to view again. Really love the spaciousness of the interior!

[@roam4fun853]

What a gentleman in addition to a craftsman.

[@Forni1111]

WOW! The craftmanship in this build is amazing.

[@Dinu0202]

You Sir are a True American . I wish kids this generation would learn something from you.

[@lloydbrewer4229]

Wow, imho you've done an amazing job designing and building this rig. To me it's perfect, old school, basic and it works. Hats off to you. From the sounds of it, you've not only build an excellent offroad, boondock rig. But you've a legacy with/for your family too. Truely awesome.

[@Arrynek01]

This is, without a doubt, the most impressive DIY truck I've ever seen. You can't go any further without cutting-edge professional equipment.

[@chinaman1]

oh man, That outdoor grill is amazing. I think too many of these tiny homes are missing out on this feature.

[@maehay4065]

What a tuff rugged rig! My first thought was this is a beast. It’s one of top kind of rig! I knew that he must have an engineering. Love all the beds hold up and hide out-of-the-way. Ingenious Army truck with all the necessities for off road trips 👍

[@kenmelrose7793]

I know he's trying to retire and relax, but he should build these as a side business. Far better workmanship than most commercially-produced RVs.

[@dead_or_alive2649]

Oh to have a husband that actually finishes at least most his projects! (I wouldn’t trade mine, just a little jealous) Beyond beautiful home.

[@Ruylopez778]

"not bulletproof" What kind of camping are you expecting to do?

[@nrood3821]

i thought the something when he said that. only thing i could come up with is maybe he and wife camp in camp sites that may be close to hunting areas.

[@monkeyhaters9258]

😳🙂😃😄😂🤣😜😝🤪😳

[@SirCheese710]

thats just good old fashion american hick mentality... splash of apocalypse or zombie conspiracy theorist maybe. Not saying he is, just the sentiment something people here would think about.... more guns than people

[@jinatlas8674]

@@SirCheese710 Why wouldn't any Americans have that mentality? Who know when someone with a gun would appear out of nowhere and start shooting people cause he/she have a bad day? Am I right like a recent case about guy from Murica shooting inside a mall just cause he was denied to watch movie.

[@carlosrivera3805]

we never now!!!

[@Liberty4Ever]

Thank you for sharing the awesome build. With all those beds, it's an all terrain hotel!

[@madhurimasingh2]

Very well built...people like you make me believe age is just a number

[@kdvlogs2888]

I love this build how can u dislike this build is perfect

[@barryjackson1401]

First time Ive seen slides on a self build. Awesome rig,

[@creeknosleep2647]

Oh mi god I can truly say this is one of mi favorite RV very impressive work especially cause he built this by hand im so overwhelmed!!!

[@garycalliham6643]

Thank you for showing us your build! sleeping up 7 adults is awesome!

[@SeanHarlow]

I need to know more about the slideouts. Very few DIY RVs have them, and I've heard a lot of people say they don't hold up off road.

[@Jimah324]

This is one of the best homemade conversions I've seen.

[@brendadawson9339]

It's amazing how he incorporated all the bedding

[@drew8642]

Absolute American ingenuity awesome!

[@SN-qu2gz]

Just the tires on this thing makes me feel tingling in my pantaloonal region.

[@Ozzypup1]

This is a really nice and very high qaulity build. He did an amazing job with it.

[@kokoarts]

Congrats! It is magical what you can build with your own hands! Have a wonderful life living in it! Thank you for sharing!

[@reecehaydenmaks]

Wow what a beautiful monument displaying your engineering and craftsmanship skills and shear know how. I hope You Sir, & Your Bride with the family you have together get to enjoy this amazing Rig, for longer than you can imagine, and then stays in your family for many more happy, and thrilling years to come. What a legacy to build and eventually leave your family. How proud they must be of your accomplishment.

[@angeladiplock8197]

Awesome love the slide outs gives loads of space and loads of beds brilliant

[@thetrap6073]

AWESOME! This adds more inspiration to my build. Working on a retired ambulance overlander project and I'm about 100% finished with the first 15%... hahaha... Hope to meet this guy when I'm on the road!

[@wonderingtimesllc7203]

My hat off to you sir. Congrats on all that hard work and effort. Standing Tall.

[@mccainjay]

I’d love to see how he made the slideouts.

[@jajiveloria8459]

Its so lovely when it has so many guest bed

[@ElliesDonna14]

Absolutely gorgeous. Everything you’d want and need

[@user-iu2yb7dd3d]

That is the coolest rig yet. What a quality design and build.

[@johnzee691]

Nice truck! I believe you can switch the hinges on the frig to make the doors swing on the other side. It would make access easier to the cook....

[@adriantaylor3583]

Hi Bob what a work of art .Well done .I think you could take that rig just about anywhere around the globe

[@honeybadgerisme]

I could listen to this guy all day! Easy on the ears + actually interesting.

[@greggd2027]

This is the nicest overland build I've seen yet. Its a dream of mine... someday! Very inspiring thank you for the vid!

[@choopa1670]

Amazing rig!! hand built. What an amazing wise man..blown away mate. Well done 👍🏽🇦🇺

[@ianmangham4570]

I know right ,Awesome mate,av a gud'n mate 🇬🇧😫

[@nrood3821]

i wanna meet this guy. you can tell he put in alot of time and work into this. he got alot of real good materials to use and took his time to make sure it looked good and built to last for along time.

[@stevest.martin3940]

Supper nice conversion. Very impressive the slides are the best.

[@inmybox100]

Amazing Vehicle and Amazing guy living a dream even if its taken 2 and a half years in the making and counting ,, I just need to see the last bits you are going to add ,, Hats off to you ,,

[@DJ19671]

Now that's how you retire, beautiful build - beautiful!!!

[@KerryTarnow]

This thing is absolutely unreal! So cool, congrats Bob. Sheeeesh

[@bash060656]

Love these trucks. The military uses them in a large variety of configurations. The ones I served with had mobile doctor's office and another was for X-Ray and yet another for surgery. If you've ever had to use one, you can envision a ton of uses for one.

[@Stevenowski]

I hope you enjoy your retirement sir. Thank you for your service and God bless!👐🇺🇸

[@EricsVeganVan]

Nice looking rig. Will definitely take you to some remote areas.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

The bunk beds are genius! What a great design. And the Hula Girl! Must get one. I have some pink flamingoes as well. An incredible technical challenge to build one of these. Definitely not for an amateur. You did a fantastic job. This is a pro build. Also not for the average person to store and drive. This is a huge rig. Limits city touring.

[@itcshifter8114]

Man this is an awesome build, probably built better than most modern homes

[@makeyoutrend.]

That is a very nice build. Well thought out and executed

[@ihatefrogs4390]

i check out a lot of conversions, and this is the best build and the best commentary..i love it..

[@JosephNordenbrockartistraction]

I would feel quite safe camping with this guy. Great video.

[@jasmynsteele]

9:48 , 😂 comment about either upgrade the seats or the wife will have to upgrade her sports bra! 😂

[@escotthollingsworth6074]

Man! I'd love to be parked already and see that rig crawling into the camping area. It's like watching a Rambo movie for the retired.

[@SnakeEyesSOG]

I would like to make a suggestion. For the storage by the slide out. I would put a net or some sort of device to ensure that nothing falls out of the cubby. Had that happen once and it was a bit of a pain to get out. We use a net now and made a difference. Sometimes u just gotta hit a bump just right for something to fall.

[@ritadanowski9147]

Sweet All American Gentle Man! Love your Build!!

[@cn9630]

Lovin' the Murphy bed!!!

[@TinyHomeTours]

Me too!! I love a murphy bed for a small space design. Check out this beautiful van tour with a murphy bed. I LOVE her layout, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGbCh6CKjpudnck. :)

[@arroyobaby38]

What a nice home!!!!!

[@TheIronClooch]

That was smart choosing to register it as a historic vehicle. Don't need to pay extra on tags for the weight.

[@ericzumwalt4302]

I can tell that you are a very hard worker

[@puirYorick]

It's not the most elegant level of finishes but a remarkable and practical use of spaces. I even like that he mostly left the original "Army" look alone up front for the most part.

[@westaussie9497]

Thank Q for the tour. To many beds in it. When you retire, it's you and the Cook. But you must be taking the whole tribe on yearly vacation. Boy! 3000 miles on the clock. Gee! The motor is just run in. Happy travelling.

[@peggychapman7835]

Your design is incredible and your technology is excellent loving your home happy adventures with your family Many blessings to you all

[@Ts68mo]

WOW YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB !!

[@noahgullion6391]

this guy has built a better mobile home then the major companies the space he has made for himself is amazing

[@DZCamaro-kz2vd]

What a BEAUTIFUL RIG! This guy is brilliant!

[@Wingnut_Stickman]

Good job -- switch the hinges on that fridge! Save you a world of reaching-around were the hinges on the left.

[@Mia_9135]

Love your build. Nicely done. May you and your family have wonderful camping trips❤️🤍💙

[@brucekrueger7982]

Pretty awesome, one bad ass home on wheels, the go anywhere rig

[@1digitalsmith]

godam i like this truck much more than other military truck video i saw it's more thought out and loaded with handy things that are needed and slide out clean & nice

[@Baconlover5280]

This guy built something amazing, done beautifully

[@seancbrophy]

This is a perfect rig for my family. For any family really.

[@kampdog]

Wow. Very impressive. This man is awesome and I wish I knew half of what he knows.

[@ljaysperspective1775]

You sir are amazing! Really nice rig. You have outdone urself. Enjoy it for years to come.

[@margemargie9891]

Wowee, super-impressive rig! I love the eagle on the side and the cabinetry, and so roomy! (haha to your wife getting a sports bra)...safe and joyous travels and thank you for your service.

[@jeffreybolduc3359]

Thank you for your service, beautifull rig.

[@stevenannett1739]

Awesome build , I love the murphy bed !

[@selisagrimes9837]

You win sir! Every van, camper & RV should be in awe of what you accomplished. Pls get a KZbin channel so that we can join you and your family fun.

[@rjl110919581]

WOW WOW TRUE BEAUTY SETUP AS WISH BEST FURTHER THANK YOU FOR SHARE THIS VIDEO OF HAND BUILD TOUR AS VERY DETAIL AND WELL BUILD

[@logicgates7732]

Old school living on the road. Well done.

[@pedromartinez1165]

Not a truck -- its a home! Fantastic design Semper Fi

[@kengabrielson1350]

What a beautiful camper you have built

[@PrinCess-hz9ki]

I knew he has to be an Engineer of something to be able to build all that beauty especially the slides. Wonderful RV, one of the best TBH, just needs a little polishing on the interior and it's perfect ❤️

[@StarGateSG7]

You are very right in that the slides are definitely the hardest part of this build. In terms of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) slide-outs holding up over time, it depends if you use cable assembles vs hydraulics and whether the square tubing is thick enough and strong enough NOT to bend down (i.e. has tensile strength) when teh slide-out are extended over hours and/or days. I personally would build this ENTIRELY out of 8000-series Aerospace Aluminum with 3x3 tubing that have quarter inch wall thicknesses. It's quite heavy and expensive at that wall thickness when it's 8000-series Aerospace grade but I'm willing to spend the money for high tensile strength (Flexion and torsion-resistant!) The walls I would use 1/8th inch thick aluminum plate and use the fancy R2000-level -45C winter-rated insulation foam for the entire interior insulation and coat the metal cabin walls, floor and ceiling on the Outside AND Inside with Line-X truck bed liner coating for water and corrosion-proofing. It also makes the interior very quiet and free from all the outside world noise! -- I must admit that this is a SUPERB BUILD!!! Great Job! WOW! v

[@michaeltillotson7044]

Wow just wow! I read a bunch and "liked" a bunch of the comments. I just agree with everyone's sentiments about how impressive this build is. Couple questions I wished were answered are: what is the weight of the rig, what's the mpg, and how's it drive. All I can say is these videos and enthusiasts that create these builds and go on theses adventures are inspirations!
