Their secret home is hidden in plain sight! Box truck tiny home

Best quote ever on your mileage…, ‘10mpg for a vehicle is not so great, but it’s awesome for a house!’ ❤

[@shacktime]

Convert it to an EV😉

[@shacktime]

I’d also strip the piss out of it to cut weight.

[@MM-xw1jm]

Great build. I'd want to add ceiling fan, little AC, bug screen for the back. Also camera to see what's going on outside. Very nice

[@marygeyer5694]

10 miles to the gallon gang is what just about every RV on the roads in America get....even the brand new ones. Great job on the truck. Enjoy your life.

[@cmsmith3010]

They are a cool couple! I love their esthetic. They’ve done really well and all that said, it looks very cramped for a couple full time living.

[@buddymccormack8668]

the interior is a lot nicer than I expected from a truck that size. I was also thinking a descent size enclosed trailer could be a portable bathroom/backyard shed, if it has a side door towards the front and a ramp on the back.....

[@elizabethdurham1657]

Towing a trailer changes everything - much harder to drive and reduces gas mileage.

[@buddymccormack8668]

@@elizabethdurham1657 it does reduce gas milage that is true, trailers are not hard to pull, backing up takes practice. But to have a full bathroom, it might be worth it.

[@meridethhendry5733]

Such a sweet couple. Love their build.

[@Timejump369]

It’s smiles per gallon❤

[@ubehappy395]

Their box truck home would've been perfect if it had a small bathroom because it's so essential to have one when you're on the road and out of nowhere. It's also good have a shower for hygiene reasons.

[@prankster671]

Right? Having the ability to wash up is important. Was liking the build until I realized there wasn't much of a restroom.

[@keltait]

wrong.

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Well thought out design --- Really like the column for the electric and lines. The only surprise is that they didn't build a sometimes shower in the door space. Outdoor is good for hot weather, but on crappy days, that doorway could be put into use.

[@keltait]

This is an impressive and well thought out build for such a small space. Im on my 3rd build in a 13yrs and this really spoke volumes to me

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

What a GREAT build!

[@joanndavis4843]

Nice build. And that you just happened to find a space with all the tools to do it. I wish more spaces and tools were available to people for that purpose. It should be a thing. Easy money for an entrepreneur with everything on site for van builds. Fun and interesting to see something start to finish. Seems like a profitable way to make a living. And making a lot of people happy too. Win-Win situation 👍!

[@stephenanthony5923]

Beautiful sleek build. A literal home away from home.

[@goostador]

Glad YT recommended your video, great job! Love your vibe, your build (well thought out!) A few ideas you have I would put in my van build: Wood (very natural feeling), curves inside (great window framing), fruit basket setup, Boxio (researching that right now). I wish you both well, you have a great mind set.

Would you post a link to your cabinet latches and springs? Also your fasteners for the fruit basket. Seriously clever. I had no idea someone could Minor in woodworking. It shows. Walnut is definetly a hard-wood, yet the window surrounds are seamless. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@davidbaron6647]

Very nice great use of size of a box truck. nice

[@joeblow1942]

3:31. Arctic Turn “Wildlands” door with screen door that is supposedly bear proof. CR Lawrence windows. Torque Lift steps. 4:21 They paid $36k for box truck and $20k for build. 4:57 Steps to get up to roof fold flat. 5:16 Removed roll up door and built hinged door on gas struts. They built the door out of fiberglass panels laminated to plywood core with a welded steel frame. Draw latches inside lock the door. 11:56 Interesting slats used to fill space between dinette seats to make king size bed. (Slats could be easy to stow vs sheets of plywood.) 12:28. Raised floor under dinette for storing shoes. 12:38. More slats used instead of plywood sheets for under dinette seats storage. Allows air flow too. 14:13. 600 watts of solar on roof plus roof vent fan.

[@CNile-se9xw]

At this couple's age, most would be renting an apartment, have a car each, rack up hours per week driving to jobs that they hate, not eat properly & have very little quality time together or for themselves. Chances are that they'd be paying off a massive SUV & a macho V8 pick-up truck with a combed fuel usage of maybe 15mpg. Both cars would need to be registered, insured & have provision for overnight parking at their rental apartment. By contrast, this smart couple's lifestyle makes a lot of sense. Each day is a leisurely adventure taking them to new site-seeing spots, or enjoyable overnight stays. Timetables are a thing of the past, there's no dress code or workplace bitching & are free all the hassles that thrust onto most.

[@MicheleNichols2]

I'd love to know some of the other practicalities of living this lifestyle. How do you pay taxes (just pick a state?), get your mail, etc.

[@tabitha-sk5kc]

The mail question is a good one. I have wondered that too. I imagine they would pay taxes in the state where the vehicle was registered? Its a very pretty build though. And people have commented about the lack of shower, but she says that they plan to add an outdoor shower.

You don’t have to have a shower to clean yourself. Just need a bowl of water , soap, and a washcloth. Also, truck stops have showers.

So Glad You Consciously Decided To Do This While You Were Young. I was raised by parents who "brainwashed" us to think: College, Job, House, Maybe Marriage, Retire. Money was put toward retirement. Guess what? The BODY does whatever it wants. I retired early and will start to live the small RV life in about one year. BUT, I have arthritis.Toe(s), knee, and ankle pain. Brain issues due to ADHD (over medicated brain fry). Bad knees. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda. [I won't let it hold me back!!] My only fear for anyone out there living this life style: How will you ever be able to live in the "real" world? I am damn glad to be leaving the politically correct yet phony environment of the "real" world. There is no sum of money that will make me go back! 💜..... The video ended.
