I Converted an old RV into a TINY HOME | Full build start to finish:
This travel trailer rv is set up as an off grid tiny home on wheels.
It is fully equipped with a solar power electrical system. There are two Solar Panels mounted on the roof of the trailer. All the rest of the electrical components including the Solar Controller, Pure Sine Wave inverter, and deep cycle Gel battery are mounted inside of the trailer.
There are AC and USB outlets in convenient areas throughout the trailer, as well as super bright 12 volt LED lights.
The living area of this tiny home has gas heat and a gas oven/stove. There’s also a fully functional sink and water system, as well a composting toilet.
For cooking and ventilation, the tiny house has a 3 speed Dometic Fan-Tastic roof vent above the kitchen area.
There is a projector screen that can be angled on a swiveling wall mount which is connected to a DTV antenna and my PS4 video game console.
All cabinets in the RV are secured with cabinet latches to make sure nothing falls while the trailer is moving. The bed also lifts up to reveal the storage underneath the sleeping area of the trailer.
I wanted to test my building skills by renovating an older trailer than I'm usually used to working with, so i decided to build this solar powered tiny home trailer with minimal tools. In this video I take you with me from start to finish and show everything that I built from the electrical setup to the details of each floorboard and shiplap wall panel.

What's impressive is he builds everything in a storage facility away from the site. His measurements and plans have to be spot on. That's called attention to detail. Impressive.
measure twice so you only have to cut once.
In construction it’s called fabrication.
So you re impressed he knows how to use a ruler????🤔
@@ltyler01 many industries use that term.
@@exquisitecandy2684 I’m aware of that. Prefabrication is a major element in construction…from installing walls and flooring to building bridges to installing large pipe lines. It’s clear the dude has above average prefabrication skills.
this may be a "tiny" house... but your craftsmanship made it a mansion
I agree!!!
not a mansion
@Melissa Arispe Exactly! Over the last year or so I’ve developed a serious case of bus/camper/van conversions envy.
Yup
Okaaaaay.I love it! ❤
You need your own RV, mini van renovation business. You’re amazing at this and you can do ALL the work yourself!!! There’s nothing sexier than a man that can build and fix things. I wish you success, happiness and prosperity young man!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
100% agree with this!❤❤❤
Beat me too, I was thinking this kid could make fortune
This IS his business! I bet you people are blowing him up trying to hire him all over the country! 👏
What a legend. An electrician, builder, carpenter, fashion icon, designer and gymnast. Haven't seen a Jack of all trades with such a great content 👏 well done mate👌
Any of your videos I watch, my jaw drops down, time after time...
I was thinking the same thing, this man knows how to do everything...effortlessly
😂
who the fuck is the father, Satan?!
These are the kind of ppl who should be YT famous! Actual talent! Not just sitting in front of a camera eating food or dancing horribly to mediocre songs
FACTS!! 😂😂💯💯💯🥂
Nicely put!
Truth!
So True
Amen
When CZcams recommend something you actually want to watch this is a happy recommendation
Facts
Yeah sure ths is👌
Facts
Facts!
Been in the trades for 18 years and I gotta say my dude… you do extremely nice work. It’s a pleasure to watch.
Ma I the only one who's not interested in tiny homes but just enjoys watching these build videos? this guy and Drew Builds Stuff make content that's just super relaxing
I want a van from this dude just to have it!
This young man has skills. He paid attention to whoever he apprenticed four. It's good to see a younger generation that works with their hands and take pride in their work. I like what I see
It's even worse in an rv because there isn't a single square level or plumb surface in those fuckin things lol
Apprenticed four? Why not five?
@@meegoreng8155 Wise guy.
But what of homegirl? Or was she just there for moral support?
“Four” lol i can see why you work with your hands
My guy, you've got a bright future. You're doing this in a storage unit. I'd love to see what you could do in a properly outfitted and properly lit shop with big tools. Someone get this man in a fully functioning woodshop and let him go wild!
He has the clout to talk to local shops and offer a special deal.
I agree, he did an amazing job!
How about get him his own HGTV show and studio/workshop!!
No he needs his own tv show.
@@mikashaunchism1869 then that tv show would OWN him. He needs to keep making these videos.
Perfect angles
Perfect cuts
Great design
Master craftsman
Imagine if hurricane victims could live in those redone vans after being wiped out
Sorry for your loss. The fact you came back to this project shows your resolve. Keep up the great work, I've been waiting a while for you to release a new video. You're a true inspiration and have so much to offer your viewers. I can't wait to see what's next. Prayers for you and your family.
This brother is not only a genius, he's got STYLE!
I would love to have the Talent ☺️ this young man has. I be praying that your young man
He is DEFINITELY a genius!!!!
Totally!!
You sir, are a complete package!!! 🙏🇺🇸
It’s good to see people talking supportively on YT.
This guy is so talented. He has put countless hours in to perfect his craft.
He's skilled and hardworking. Also the fact that he's jacked shows the kind of person he is. Really makes me realize I need to step it up in life.
and rich wood is wealth rn😂😂😂
Its most likely possible to count the hours as it's not that big of a number
Now this dude deserves 1 billion subscribers!
I like the storage unit as workshop. This is masterclass on woodworking and remodeling! Thank you DualEx - this is INSPIRING!
This used rev is nicer than some people’s home! That’s even before you started
@ tala Pb
It's all about that carpentry. When you have that skill. Your dangerous;)
Young man, where in the world, did you learn all those building and woodworking skills?? This place looks amazing! You’re a gifted person and keep using your mind/skills, you’re gonna go far!!
US Navy check out his Uniform 11:38 (E-5 i’m Sure He’s an engineer but missing warfare pin?)
🎯
@@JasonfromMinnesota none of the US Armed forces teaches this stuff.
Given his apparent age he had help with the build.
@@se7en926 he clearly had a little help with heavy things but he also clearly did the rebuild primarily by himself and it’s thanks to him remembering the many skills that he has from past lives and using them greatly in this life
He is just amazing. I watch 1 video and was like WOW he can turn trash into treasure
I just found your channel. I am absolutely impressed with your engineering/carpenter skills. Wow!!! What a beautiful home you have made for yourself!!
As a black man who's tired of race baiting politics, the victim Olympics and the such. You're absolutely proof of choices, ambitions and goals. You decided to learn skills ppl are willing to pay for. I know none of it was easy. But you are proof nothing holds a man back regardless of race, ethnicity or sex what one could achieve if they're willing to do what it takes to achieve it
Stop demonizing wonen for having abortions. Women will get ahead when they are not forced to have children. Motherhood holds women back .
You’re a breath of fresh air ✨✨✨👏🏽
A man who is worth his weight in gold he appears to be very self-sufficient He also probably knows how to cook .
Some men cook better than most women
Lol
And when he was wearing that vests those Biceps tho.
My guy. I subbed to you during the pandemic to help pass some time and I got myself into a bit of a van life craze. I’m not really into the van life craze anymore but I do pop in from time to time and man it’s crazy to see how much progress you’ve made. The amount of skill and craftsmanship you have is amazing.
I try my best to improve each time I build something. I appreciate you dropping in!
It is so fun to watch you build literally everything from scratch
I saw your video where you did a custom camper van and I was impressed by your quality work. I forgot to mention that what further impressed me was your knowledge in plumbing and electrical. You are amazing! Keep up this quality work and many blessings for a wonderful, prosperous future. 🤗
As if his construction skills weren't impressive enough... he starts off the video with a front flip. EPIC STATUS.
He's also very good-looking, too! 😊
@@Gitn2it Noted! 🤗
@@Gitn2it Yep, and confident, intelligent, etc, etc!
And not too proud to show the edit flips at the end either .impressive
@@Gitn2it Yep. A cutie!
no lie the inside was kinda nice even before you fixed it up, but your results were wayyy better!
Good video my man
I know i was like hey id live there before
I agree but me personally would've preferred the first countertop. This dude got mad skills. After watching the video again, I changed my mind. His choice brightened up the kitchen.
This is like seeing somebody you watch on tv out in the real world lol.
its sad the rv had a better interior than my house, before he renovated it
And it was still new looking
I love your videos. They make me want to get back into carpentry. Work picked up and it’s been hard to find time, but your videos are helping me to make the time.
Thank you!
Love your free hearted spirit and fun attitude and actions! I see why your friend wanted this for you. So adorable 💯😇🗡️💚💃🎸🪇🥁
My dear man, I have not ever seen anyone have the building and planning abilities you possess. What talent ,what a guy, it is all brilliant.
Whoever taught you this skill was an excellent teacher and you sir were an excellent student , causes your skills at working with wood is the best I've seen in a long time !!
You totally remodeled this R.V. going off site to do your stuff !!
Amazing 👏
THAT looked like it hurt , flips get harder to do as you get older 😉
It's magic before your very eyes👀
This young man is so inspiring.
I wish the rv companies would hire you as a designer/engineer!!! Amazing work!!!
So glad you popped up in my recommended. You actually showed what you did instead of spending twenty minutes just talking about it. I see so many videos like that and it makes me lose interest. You’re definitely doing it right!
The RV industry needs you to do the interior design of their RV's.
No kidding. This is the kind of setup I would want. All of the 'professional' RVs always have things I wish they didn't have.
@Romeo Tene it would be nice if they would make some without all the trashy built in furniture, so people can add their own comfy stuff and customize. It doesn’t make sense to pay for a new RV and rip it apart. Plus some of us cannot do that kind of manual work.
I would use pallet wood for wood to build things and save money. My old neighbor built a coffee table out of pallet wood. It looked amazing. I took an old desk of mine and used pallet wood to build a shelf for it. I turned it into a TV stand.
He’d be pretty damn good at it. The problem is that they build these keeping speed and skill of employees in mind. 90% of the factory workers that build these are terrible at their jobs. The final steps of production are literally just fixing/hiding flaws and fuck-ups.
@@valerieann2751 man it really sucks how the big manufacturers mass producing thousands of rvs a month can’t be as customized as much as a Newell or Prevost which take up to 6 months to custom build. Tbh they have to make money too or else they wouldn’t be successful as a business, so they have to use prefabricated parts, and common parts between brands and manufacturer models.
The skill-set you possess is amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey in building out your RV. I loved watching all of the transformations.
This is so good. You should actually do this as a business if you aren’t already. Buy used (and old) RVs, flip them and sell them. This one looks amazing.
I was thinking the exact same thing, people would absolutely pay money for this craftsmanship
Me me me me me
I was thinking the same ! Flipping them. :D
ID PAY!!!👏🏻
With how much wood costs today, it’s not gonna be to lucrative
Nothing sexier than a man who can build a house with his hands.
I know right
Sure there is, a man who holds doors for you…with his pen-is.
I can build wood with my hand
For sure
The ENTIRE house on his own. ❤️😍
Your skill! Amazing!! Very nice work. Just enough talking. You should be very proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Forgot to mention, thanks for demonstrating how to build the couch bed, especially the finer points of where to attach the sliding brackets & leaving clearance for the frame. Great job.
As a tradesman, this was very satisfying to watch. I love watching quality work being done to a high standard, this is also full of creativity.
Incredible job, you have skills beyond your age.
It's so much bigger and nicer than most tiny homes. The design is brilliant!
Life off the grid is GRRRrrrreat!!
He's not only talented but a cutie pie too ! 😊
This is good. He should start a business remodeling RV’s into mobile homes. This is really good for the housing market
And I will be your first customer PERIODT
Fkin awesome
Problem is most people want their tiny mobile home on their existing property. Most zoning and occupancy laws don't allow this. Everyone gets lost in the tiny home dream and forgets their are municipal regulations you need to follow. Plumbing, being on the electrical grid, and local laws that are as simple as not letting you park vehicles in your yard or backyard.
He should do RVs and not caravans though.
He need's to be hired to design RVs, so talented, well done.
He is in business for himself. Doesn't need a job.
I'd watch his show for dam sure, amazing work
You mean OWN his own RV Design co with employees!!👍❤ He's a BOSS!!
This is the best rebuild I've seen on a camper ! Congrats on your hard work
An Artist, a Craftsman, and a Treasure.❤ Yessir ❤
Dude, you've got mad skills! Seriously - like wow!
You are Amazing, oh did I mention so skillful. Do your thang, great job!!!!
How do you even start learning that?
Ikr that front flip was amazing
I love it when young people are proactive. Especially when they watch their investments and make it grow like a tree from a seed. Job well done.
Be he didn’t grow this investment, he decreased the value doing this.
Huh??? Looks like he added value to me.
@@adammiller8533 he's gained a home and can sell this he also could get another home and rent it out while crusading in this for a year
@@adammiller8533 what are you talking about ? All this work he did increased the value of that RV tenfold at least.
Absolutely beautiful renovation! Your craftsmanship is outstanding! Very well done, good Sir.
The shower is gorgeous, especially the waterproofed wood. Very nice job all around. Maybe you might consider converting buses into campers?
I don’t know how or why I came across this content, but I have never been so amazed and intrigued in this type of content. I am super amazed at how well detailed every area was masterfully put together, one nail at a time, very nice. I’m loving it! 😀
Me either! I was absolutely fascinated and awed to watch him do this! He should be someone for he young teens now, that stealing, violence or any criminal activity is needed to be happy, make money, which does not always add to your life. I think all teens should have mentors, male and female, to help them navigate this life. Especially if the parents aren’t involved in their life enough. If I were way younger, and had seen this, I would beg him to take me on as an apprentice and teach me carpentry.
At 62 yo woman, I am actually sure, I would have loved it! I was a nurse and loved that, also. Helping people, for 35 years.
Me to I have no idea how or why I came across it but I find it interesting I'd never do it but it interesting none the less
Your trailer is gorgeous! Actually I would expect nothing less than perfect from you because that's the person who you've shown us to be!
Wow thank you so much! Just trying to get a little bit better over time
@@Dualex_Builds Well you certainly set a high bar for yourself because everything you've done so far has been absolutely marvelous! And remember I was one of your first 2000 subscribers, so I've seen everything you've done! Congratulations!
Stunning!! What a creative, multi-talented, multi-skilled, funny, personable young man! You are inspirational and impressive! ❤
Sick remodel, I actually love the aspect you provide of having to go room by room (obviously not the most efficient way) because you're having to actually live in it. It really shows the reality of how something like this would go to an average person, and not just every shot being perfect and clean etc. It's awesome man, keep doing content like this!
..this and the fact that hes building over someone else's handy work trusting that it's nothing wrong with it lol
Is it just me or is watching someone or knowing someone with elite skills with their hands, intellect, creativity, so much more..... arousing....than some celebrity clubbing and drinking? I wish I had these skills. Seriously.
ABSOLUTELY. Whenever I hear people talk neg about our youth I pull out one of these videos to show them then say "show me whatchu got"
All that... I actually watched every second, without clicking out early because another one caught my eye (which is how I watch most videos). I think the smile my have kept me as engaged as the brilliant work did.
@@abcxyz3783 😁 LOVE this
Now this is SEXY!
That is exactly what I was coming to the comments section to say 😂😂😂😂
Edit: aaaaaand now that I've finished this video, I'm gonna go attack my husband 👀
I enjoyed watching this man be very handy and doesn’t hurt that he is good looking 😂
I'll take him home!!!!!
He's a buff version of scarlxrd☺ and less grunge.
@@music2myears2 He has a home! It's a trailer!
Hardworking young man. Proud of him!
@@jonothandoeser come on Jonothan Doezer.... You get me !!!!! Lolol
You are a very talented young man! If you choose doing the van and RV builds you will be very successful. Love your designs and builds!!!
Took a perfect good travel trailer. And improved it a ton. Great job
Money can't buy this level of satisfaction, he built everything from start to finish.
You definitely know how to turn an RV into a home. You are impressive.
This is awesome! I also live full time in an RV, which I'm slowly renovating while living in it. It's my 2nd trailer and renovation. I can't wait to see your kitchen in the upcoming video. I think you've painted the cabinets and kept the doors in a stained finish? I've been thinking about doing that to mine. You really are inspiring me!
"Old RV"....looks so much nicer before than the one we bought to live in until we could get our double wide "liveable." But you really brought your old RV to a fine level of style and craftsmanship. Love watching you work. Too many sites don't show all their work, just a description and a tour. You must have been a good math student....you are also an excellent teacher! Kudos to the adults that reared you!!!!
He's blessed to be so gifted and can do his own work the way he wants it done.👍
One cool trailer build by one of the coolest chaps around.
I'm a good friend of Kandyce & Chanell and they told me all about your amazing work!!! I can't wait to meet you soon!! I will be happy to help lend a hand when you come help them do their RV Remodel!!!
This is a business right here. I would definitely buy a renovated trailer from you!! Nice work!!!
Wow talented Dude!!!impressive!!!
Me too
Me three! 🙋🏾♀️Your work is impeccable!!! 😍
Was thinking the same thing!
How can I get you to do me one????
You know. It's inspiring ✨️to see this young man working. He's absolutely very detailed; and his work ethic is impeccable. I'm going to share his videos on my social media pages.
I fully agree with you. Best DIY content creator I’ve found on CZcams so far
Why ...F ...social media...? He has real skill,talent, work ethic, and intergity! Let him shine as a person who works with passion!
YES, MOLD CAN DEMOLISH THE HOUSE AND CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS!!
@@andreapuryear3023 It's helpful as it produces extra viewers for his video's/channel. Which equals better pay for him as a CZcamsr, which equals better support for his creativity and more creative content for the viewers.
@Andrea Puryear You sound so stupid. Why not share on social media. It will encourage young people to go to school and attain skills as well. This man is amazing. You're one of those people who hides information under your hat instead of sharing. Go get a life.
KUDOS, really nice job. You're putting together quite the resume of knowledge and hands on experience. What I really like about this build, is that you seem to found your niche, and your craftsmanship shines from it. Sometime you should step up your build to a Modular Home with full customization. I bet it would be incredible, so keep up the hard work!!!
Sir. You have literally become one of my heros. You're awesome!
This is not having an eye for detail, it is finesse.
What an awesome project to see completed. I really like how he didn't give any unnecessary narration for each step and simply demonstrated his plan.
And he made it look so easy. Skills galore!🤩🤗
If I ever bought a trailer done up by someone, I'd want to see how it was completed with plenty of pics, at least.
WOW, you made this thing look stylish as hell!!! And the hidden TV is inspired!
lol the initial RV tour looked fine. I love how this dude just does.
Dude you have some serious skills. I was in the shed business for many years and lots of people talked about converting a shed into a tiny house. I always thought I would instead do what you did and convert an RV or Travel Trailer instead. No foundation or permits etc... Just makes more sense and it is portable. Great Job!!!
It’s what I’m starting my journey into, got my camper already and starting to come up with plans and ideas, feel free to message me collaborate or exchange ideas, I have some really helpful and creative ideas I would love to share
@@treyregister42 just began gutting a 1986 Fleetwood wilderness 5th wheel....used an app for the design which is subject to change ....lol ... curious how your going about your project
Travel trailer or an old full bus would be so fun
About to do this exact thing with my girlfriend. Got a 1982 coach Normandy on the way!
@@graceinwonderland curious what app you are using?
Best redo I’ve ever seen. Highly skilled at every point and never lost my interest. Excellent!!!
Yes, I agree. Well done! Hehas wonderful design taste. I did think his bathroom sink was too small to be functional. Although, it Looked great.
Love the soft jazzy music. Sometimes I can’t finish a video because the music is sooo annoying.
Great job! You could easily go into RV remodeling. I hate so many of them go into landfills or junkyards.
🤩DC
Same here. Very good.
Probably and using wood in the shower area, no matter how much me coated it, will eventually rot. Still wouldn't stop me living in it though.
Bro your workmanship is impeccable.
I'll say it again there are no words to describe the talent you have young man.
Smart young man. A great role model for everyone. Great job.
I can’t believe he built everything even the table I would have just bought a small table.
if you MAKE the table, it would be perfect and maximise the space other than just buying 1
Men enjoy building things.
You are absolutely awesome, I’ve watched you grown. If I had a son, I’d be so proud if you were mine. 😊
Brother you need your own HGTV series, your work is PHENOMENAL!!!
My man, you knocked it out of the park with this build. I also live in a travel trailer and have been a handy man for about 25 years. I think I'm gonna get to work! Thanks for the inspiration!
The effort put into this whole project is astonishing, especially for just one person.
Yes, he did an amazing job!!!
Wow amazingly beautiful trailer, I would live in that trailer for sure.
Bro you literally made my dream home....kudos
This takes a lot of knowledge effort and patience. This is beyond amazing and impressive. Keep it going brotha
This must be the chillest RV conversion video I've ever watched so far. Love the music and aesthetics!
I'm so sorry for your loss! You are AMAZING and extremely talented and meticulous! Absolutely incredible! Great editing, great sound. Kept me entertained! Look forward to more and definitely want to learn more!
Your craftsmanship is superb! with everything! Even the videos! I'm in awe! You are inspiring! Thank you for sharing these!❤
This young man is fantastic. He is the kind of boy you'd want your daughter to marry.
Watching him you want the best for him in life. The very best.

@Christian Constitutionalist If you are what a Christian is I am glad I am cured of that affliction.
@Christian Constitutionalist a very gross mindset. i know this younger generation will weed that out.
@Christian Constitutionalist I wouldn’t say it’s gross but it is kind of outdated. Why should it matter what the fella looks like. As long he’s a generally good guy with a career. What’s the problem?
I work in the home remodeling industry and you are by far, one of the most talented carpenters I’ve seen. Very nice work. You’re really good at editing videos too 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow, this one blew me away, it looked nice before but your attention to details and classy style made it into a dream. You are simply awesome. You are the Macgiver of all trades. I cannot wait to see you in action again.
Cheers 🎉 from Canada.
A true Craftsman!! Well done! Excellent Skills!
I had to laugh when he dropped the screw down the sink drain. Been there done that.
But seriously, what a handy guy and brilliant visionary mind.
Totally lol!
Hate it when I forget to put that paper towel to plug the drain hole!
@@chicahoney another youtuber did the same thing and she remodeled her RV
Beginning of the video: "He doesn't have to convert it, it looks fine as it is." At the end of the video: "That looks awesome! What was I thinking??" This vid made me subscribe, so keep it up man!
My thoughts exactly. Makes me want to buy one and do this but I would need a lot of help because I know how to do none of those things he is doing.🤦🏽♀️
@@cutipieeva right?? I have none of his skills!
He had to make it his own...it was very outdated.
Same thoughts
Would it be possible if you could convert a school bus 🚌 into livable R.V now that would be awesome 🚐 🚌
I thoroughly enjoy your workmanship and mindset. You’re correct… conversions costing more than your home has become ridiculous!!! I will be following you because I respect your work and philosophy. 💖
Cool...carpenter,engineer,technician,and mechanic in one...🤟😁🤙
Young man, you are extremely talented! I can see you in the near future owning your own construction company and making amazing houses for your clients! Keep up the great job! God bless! 🙏👍
