Tractor Trailer Tiny House

Tractor Trailer RV Conversion (Toterhome) Converted into a tiny house

[@acedegenerate2254]

This dude put every rv builder to shame his first try.

[@alexander.chance]

Bro you did an amazing job this is one of the most amazing conversions I've ever seen! God bless your hands

[@timbo7277]

Thanks man. God helped A LOT like all other things in life

[@georgecherucheril9947]

This rv checks off all the boxes. Number one for me is the bathroom. You hit a home run. The Murphy bed saves space. This is an impressive build

[@jorgerivero375]

This conversion is absolutely bad to the bone awesome job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@erichuggins09]

This is truly the best space that i have seen. Awesome endeavor. You really have a truly unique floor plan. The BEST.

I LIKE AND TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR USE OF STAINLESS STEEL AS A COVERING FOR YOUR CABINETS!!!

[@timbo7277]

Thank you, those are easily replaceable panels that I bought for my IKEA. I custom-made the hardwood cabinets, and that way if the doors ever get dented or destroyed, they can just be replaced for about 60 bucks apiece

[@marcodarko6941]

That is an amazing build. I thought it was a bit stark for my taste.. I could warm that up a bit but in comparison to the mass produced options I REALLY like that a lot. That bathroom alone and those closet doors, you did a great job!

[@timbo7277]

I was going for a very Spartan look. Not for everybody, but I’m glad you liked it regardless

[@tombraun6514]

Consider it like a blank canvas on which you personalize it to suit. This is very tastefully done, modern, yet comfy, and ready for you to put in carpets, different window treatments, bed coverings, whatever. I was hoping to learn about the water, gray water and black water systems, but maybe another video will be uploaded.

[@marcodarko6941]

Oh yes, totally customizable. I truly meant that it is amazing. Beautiful and I especially love the bathroom along with the sliding closet doors. @@tombraun6514

[@timbo7277]

@@tombraun6514 Hey, glad you liked it. Here's a few things I didn't cover in the video:. 1. No solar, easy to add later but I charge the 5 batteries with the built in generator, which pulls from the 150 gal diesel tanks on the truck. That's hooked to an inverter that lets me run a TV on battery only. 2. 100 gal Black, 100 gal grey water tanks outside. During winter I add a cup of antifreeze and that does the trick. 3. 10 gal hot water capacity, heats with propane and/or AC. AC is primary and is always ready. 15 minutes in the shower at 50% pressure, which is plenty. Takes about 30 min to reheat after being used. 4. Plenty of outside storage, all of the flip up doors along the outside are storage, with the exception of the 4 dedicated to Generator, Battery, Waste Tank and Compressor.

Excellent work, but it's not a tractor trailer. Looks like a D class moving van. Excellent work!

[@miconn69]

Nice job man. I almost hate to see all that attached to a freightliner century cab. They do make chrome and stainless bumpers for those though. I'd probably look at a stainless drop visor with LED's to top off the cab appeal as well. As a trucker, this is what I would want to do, although I'd have probably looked for a Pete or KW chassis. They are just built so much better. (I had a Pete 359 that had 4 million miles on it and it was tight!) Good job on that build sir!

[@timbo7277]

Thanks! I've always wanted a chromed-out KW. This truck with the conversion was 48k in rough shape. It was too good of a deal to pass up on for a full rebuild project

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Hmm... I think we have different definitions of what is cozy. To me it’s not, because it lacks personal items to make it cozy. It definitely has potential to be cozy though.

[@timbo7277]

Thank you - and yeah, definitely not for everyone. I wanted it to look minimalist and modern and clean. When I started the project, I used to say it should look like an Italian hospital.

Not a tractor trailer, it's a boxtruck with air brakes, but cool build nonetheless! I like the large amount of water storage, but I'm sure you've learned already that, that much weight sloshing around at the rear can be dangerous on wet/icy roads. Be careful and enjoy!

[@OnlyTheChronic]

That is sweet! Got a few great ideas watching this video, thanks for making it!

[@9300cadet]

I bet the guy has an avarage car, avarage job, avarage apartment, and no motor home... LOL For a 95% DIY project I'm impressed. Is there any solar on the roof? What is the gray and black water capacity? What is the hot water capacity, and what heats it? Is there any outside storage? Maybe another video going over the engine size, transmission type, generator output, and all the other technical aspects involved in operating the vehicle. THAN and great job... You know what I was eluding to with avarage I hope.. :)

I appreciate the full size sofa, tv area and mostly the bathroom. Can't stand the builds with hidden bathrooms or just pulling out the toilet from somewhere.

[@bigdaddeo76]

Really nice build. But it's not a tractor trailer. It may be a stretched tractor, but I didn't see a trailer.

[@chazzbass]

I am curious if there are regulations that affect a build like this? like where you can park it. refill water, gas etc? is it comparable to an RV?

[@timbo7277]

It has all the same systems as an RV to be compatible with RV park hookups. Sewer, electric and water.

[@innerpeace1725]

Yes this is a beautiful build. I can acquire a semi but curious of cost. Seems very high end and i know you said you did it yourself. I need this!!!

[@timbo7277]

This is called a Toterhome, which is a converted semi truck. New, these start at around 300k. There are also Super-Cs, which are slightly smaller but the same idea - a heavy duty truck frame that is extended with a living quarters box (permanently attached to the frame). Aside from the massive cost - they are also very expensive to maintain - roughly $150-300 for an oil change to start. 3 commercial size batteries...the list goes on. I bought one in bad shape for 48k and put another 50k into renovations. Insurance was $150/mo. Living at a nice RV park was 350/mo with all utilities included.

[@Choas4ever]

Wow!! If I had the chance & could afford this tractor trailer & the tiny house inside, I would not hesitate! This is amazing! I have a question; the tv comes up from the top back of the heater or fireplace, wouldn't the heater or fireplace get to hot and melt the tv if it's not raised up?

[@timbo7277]

I put a a 12in deep layer of foam insulation between the back of the ethanol fireplace and the TV. The heat vents forward from the fireplace, so the majority of the heat was well separated. I never had any issues after several years of use.

Incredible Super C and for way less than it would cost for an actual RV. Was it originally a box truck or a cab chasis and you extended the frame and put on your own box? I wish the manufacturers would take some design cues from this. If it was mine I'd leave the bed down all the time and use the kitchen table as a desk between meals. What is that arm on the kitchen counter next to the sink? I'd also ditch the propane and plaster the entire roof with solar panels. Sorry for all the questions but this is my dream RV.
