I Built an Off Grid Solar TINY HOUSE in a Van for $3,500 :
This van is Set up as an off-grid stealth camper van.
It is fully equipped with a solar power electrical system. There are two Solar Panels discretely mounted to the roof of the van. 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 van.
The batteries are also connected to the van’s alternator to maximize its charging capabilities. With this electrical system installed, you can watch tv, charge devices, and play video games for hours without running out of power.
There are AC and USB outlets in convenient areas throughout the van, as well as super bright rechargeable magnetic LED lights with 3 brightness levels.
The living area of this tiny house has gas heat and a gas oven/stove. There’s also a fully functional sink and water system, as well a flushing 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.
The couch can seat 4 people and converts into a king sized bed. There is a massive easy to reach storage space under the bed.
There are 3 layers of insulation which makes it easy to regulate temperature inside the van regardless of the temperature outside of the van.
All cabinets in the van are secured with magnets to make sure nothing falls while the van is moving. There is also a Murphy desk that has integrated wireless charging for personal cellular devices, laptops, and tablets.
The van is in excellent mechanical condition. I’ve driven it from North Carolina to California and back without a single issue.
I wanted to test my building skills by renovating an older van than I'm usually used to working with, so i decided to build this solar powered Urban Stealth Camping tiny house Van using the shell of a 1989 Ford Econoline 150. 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. I was able to build this entire off grid tiny house with only $3,500. The van itself cost me $1,200.
mobile Tiny house living is all about doing everything you need to do in a house, while being parked anywhere you want, without ever being noticed. Stealth Camping is honestly one of the funnest things you can do while saving a ton of money, and I honestly believe that this is the most planned out and legitimate setup on youtube.
Yo! I posted the time stamps below to make it easier to navigate the video. Check out the websites below if you want the stuff that I used in this build or if you're interested in any of my other businesses. Have a good day!

Damm good work, and use of space.the only thing I would add would be metal and insulation over the stove top
How much would you sale one that you build for 3500
I want one
I really like your work! How can I buy one these? Thanks for your videos!
Watching you build the first one the camera had a shot out the side window and I seen another one sitting two spots over. At first I thought that the other dude helping you agreed to help you with this one in exchange for you helping him with his. It came out really nice great work. I'm with the lady that asked how much you sell them for.
This kid did this mostly in an apartment complex parking lot. That’s respect.
SubieSpecial Foreal that’s what I was looking at... anybody that’s actually worked on anything, knows how not fun that shit is.
I noticed that too. Hard to drag everything out to use and then put it away.
No that’s disrespect 🤫
For real. Bro got talent👍👍👍
@God // ok zoomer
FINALLY a tiny house makeover that’s not “oh, I spent $70,000 on the makeover.” 😳 I’m thinking just buy a dang house for that in a small town. Many props to this guy. Excellent job and totally impressed with your skills!
No kidding though!!!! Or those people who just hire someone to do it for them😂
Here's the thing though...
That van cost wasnt included!
The 'good' inverter ALONE IS over $100
Solar deep cycle are $700 for four!
Solar panel are about $250 each.
How about showing ALL the material purchase orders in the video instead of making a clickbait title?
I'm currently living in the build I'm doing and just the wood used to make the build with fasteners is about $1000
I Agree with You, the Kind of Money that people Say they Spent for a Tiny House, or a Van, is insane. But things are Expensive these days, and this Kid made everything from Scratch himself.
Yes - and why are the VW camper vans $65K? How does a pop-up roof and a tiny all in one kitchen unit cost that much?
@@invisigal007 they cost that much because of the nostalgia and demand at this point in the economy.
I bought a vw camper for $1500 back in '91. So yeah, more it's a demand/supply situation. Mercedes has excellent Van's that start at 50k before upgrades
He just turned “pimp my ride” into “home improvement.”
Underrated comment lmao so true
This dude needs his own show
W
LOL
Lmaooo
I admire anyone who works this hard. He makes it look so easy. You need your own show!!
You do an amazing job. 🎉I have watched several of your videos and I am always amazed. Do you check out the engine etc when you buy these, especially the old ones? Do you run into problems with rust on the undercarriage?
YES HE DOES! I am a Newbie to his channel and I am AMAZED @ HIS CREATIVITY!!
I was wondering if he is for hire? And where is he located at?
This dude has some mad skills. Very talented. He could make a huge business this way
Genius !!!!❤️
He makes and sells these. I'd call that a business.
He honestly needs to be on tiny houses
@@cuteak247 he needs a show like Build This Tiny House. Where they get people who maybe can't afford to buy a house and would love to have a tiny house they come in and with his help they build their own tiny house
Facts. Build for 3,500 and sale for more than a 2 bedroom 1 bath house! Tiny houses are in business now.
I've seen about 20 van/motor home builds and this by far makes the most use of all your space in an ingenious way. You got crazy good skills man. And so intelligently constructed. I'm jealous.
Patrick McCue for real!
He’s got great things in his future. Very well spoken and informative!
Here is the Original Semitic Text. Guys, HERE is The Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
@@Praise___YaH you right , I actually learned the Semitic direct on tiktok
“You watched 15 _whole minutes_ ?” Yes and I enjoyed every minute of it, kinda want to build my own van now
Same
But where do you shower
@@oscarharth You can either shower at a friend's, school if your in one, or get a gym membership. The main problem with living in a van is parking and bathroom.
Same omg!!!
@@oscarharth there are van builds that have small wet rooms inside but most of them use the composting toilet or kettle toilet for emergencies only in case a gym isn't in reach etc.
See it's skills like this that impress me 🙂... Wish schools would teach our kids trades ..... Thank you for sharing ... Love that you are flipping these homes on wheels ❤️🙏
Schools teach you how to be a worker not your own boss
@the ugly duckling amen 🙏🏼
@the ugly duckling the teachers are more interested in producing leftists than individuals.
This will age me big time, BUT we had Home Ed, Wood Shop, Metal Shop, Mechanic Shop, Behind the Wheel Driver Ed, Photography, Pottery, Multi Media Ed, and Secretarial Ed in High School, some in Jr High as well, IN California. They also had clubs to further your skills, and seniors built a small house each year. I took all of them by the end of my senior year. I can cook, sew, make and fix furniture and cabinets, (built out my camper with my grandson), can change my vehicle lubricants, flush radiator, change breaks (which I won’t do after smashing my fingers), photography and photo printing, make my own pottery, glaze and fire, learned typesetting, 2 to 5 part carbon forms, and all kinds of things we no longer use, but I bet things are going to change to the point that it may come in handy…, Eventually earned a Bachelor in Business Administration while working clerical jobs. All FREE to students and even adults. We didn’t really know it then, but life was GOOD! 🙏🏽✌🏽💖
Schools still teach the trades, it's just wages in the trades have been stagnant for over 20 years. Why break your back doing construction work when you can make more working in a manufacturing plant or sitting behind a desk. I worked in the trades the negatives outweigh the benefits
This is why carpentry is so important in life... good stuff man
Or just pay someone to do it u goof
Flyin Hawaiian .... Not everyone has the money to do that goofier !
In Mexico, masonry is what carpentry is for north Americans. We don't like stuff done out of wood (specially houuses) because concrete is more durable. Not hating or anything, just commenting.
Marcelo Mendo ... Hey that’s all good, that’s still an art form putting that together, gotta learn it ... I did notice when visiting Mexico things are made outta concrete more...
@@Thatkiddd Are you ok?...
This is not a trend = your business is not going away , it’s going to grow . We are truly changing how we eat, work, commute, learn and live . God bless you . 🌎❤️🌎
world trends are engineered through the U.N. its all by design but i see what you mean. peace
dom heiz finally a man or woman with a brain! But since you are on that path did you already came home? Did you find jesus christ our savior God in the flesh!.... and do you read the king james bible? Hope you find your way home sooner than later :) 🙏🏻
@@fitnesslk no but im non binary transgender and worship baphomet lucifer
@@fitnesslk sorry to burst your little bubble but God does not make any mistakes or contradictions in his scriptures.
Mathematical Errors:
Its mentioned in the 2nd book of kings Ch.8 : V.26 -- Ahazia was 22 years old when he began to reign.
Then its mentioned in 2 book of chronicles Ch.22 V.2 - Ahazia was 42 years when he began to reign. (Major contradiction was he 22 or 42?)
Furthermore
2nd book of chronicles Ch.21 V.20
That Jaharm (father of Ahazia) reigned from the age of 32 for 8 years and died at the age of 40, Immediately Ahazia became the next ruler at the age of 42! How can the son be 2 years older then father??? Major contradiction.
FUTHERMORE
It is mentioned 2nd book of Samuels ch.24 V.9
That people that took part in the battlefield were 800,000 men of Israel and 500,000 men of Judah.
1st Book of Chronicle Ch.21 V.5
1.1 millon people took part in the battle from Israel and 10,460 from Judah.
So was it 1.1 million or 800,000???
MAJOR CONTRADICTION
Further more
2nd book of Samuel's Ch.6 V.26
That michal (the daughter of sol) she had no sons
2nd book of Samuel's Ch.21 V.8
Michal (daughter of sol) had 5 sons??????
What is really going on
LAST 1
GOSPEL OF MATHEW CH.1 V.16
JESUS FATHER (JOSEPH) HIS FATHER WAS JACOB
GOSPEL OF LUKE CH:3 V.23
JESUS FATHER (JOSEPH) IS FATHER WAS HALEY.
SO WAS IT JOSEPH OR HALEY???
IF YOU CARRY ON READING THE BIBLE WITHOUT ANY UNDERSTANDING YOU WILL BE AMAZED.
BUT ANYONE WITH A BRAIN AND HIGH I.Q WILL REALISE THAT THERE ARE MANY MISTAKES.
1 THING FOR SURE
GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES!!!!

Just discovered this channel. Love it because he gets right into action with no boring long talking before work begins. Love it shows everything he does-the speed filming keeps my interest! From beginning to end. Love the skills and designs. Thank you!!
I don’t even see how this is possible.... I’m so proud when I build a raised garden bed and this guy goes out and does this. Man...
When you need a place to stay that you'll actually be able to own from putting in hard work this is what you end up with
Best comment
Very basic carpentry skills is all you need. Nothing he is doing is “hard” just takes work.
@Nolo Kobo wiring is simple as hell if you know what you're doing. It's all relative man.
Nolo Kobo Exactly. Not saying any idiot could do all of this just that it’s pretty easy stuff to learn (other then the electrical)
I love how he doesn’t just buy a load of furniture from a shop but actually makes it himself
most furniture would not fit
You’re putting us all to shame with your overachievement! But seriously, you are super talented and have good taste in music for this video. Nice work!
@E B haha....
Is it going to withstand moisture? I’ve heard of a lot of people having problems after a while.
I've seen people show off their small homes on wheels, but I hadn't seen a step by step how it's done. Fine job, sir. Fine job. Thank you
Without a doubt this is one of the best build ups on CZcams.
Thank you!
100% agree!!
I think it is the best from my recollection.
Nowhere near the best but a nice job

Hi DaulEx i have a back up camera already purchased, but everything else i do need. Let me know when r u available to start.
Brave man. I looked at the original van and everything screamed run away! Really well-designed interior plan. At a time when most young people don't have the skill to operate a vacuum cleaner,
Lol
Why didn’t you teach them? That’s on you for being their elder who was supposed to educate and show them the way. This man clearly had some positive role models in his life who want to raise up the youth. People unlike yourself.
Young people use Irobot vaccums. That's something you boomers don't know how to operate. My vacuum knows my whole house. It leaves its charging station every morning and returns to its charging station when done. E z pee z
@@danny208YT I'm a Generation Z (22 years old) and I must say I am very ashamed of you. Can't even vacuum your own house? I'd hate to see you try to do the job I'm currently working. You and youth like yourself probably couldn't handle a single shift.
Me and my husband have been doing car life saving up to do something like this and I’m so glad I can across your channel . Honestly it’s inspiring ! Thank you
THIS is the part of the tiny house community that I’ve been trying to find!
There are so many van tours on CZcams. As a young black woman I dont know of anyone personally who lives in a van but there are online communities you can find supposedly to find people in your area.
As I am the only person I currently know interested in this, I will eventually just do it and by the time the van is done & I've been living in it, possibly let some close friends/family know. That's my plan one day

@@iprofox3758 thanks for your encouragement. As a person in a family of professionals, my choice definitely makes me stand out, not that I can't still be a professional, lol. But I admit, if I can do it and get it all paid off, nothing like security in knowing I dont have a larger mortgage over my head, esp in times like these. Plus I have never been one to be attached to a home. I could literally live in a city and move around with no home ownership or attachment to real estate if that is my choice. Thanks again for your encouragement! It means alot
Used to live in a van for a few years. It was not as comfortable as it is nowadays. Right now I'm paying rent and feeling a powerless feeling, like I cant plan with the money I make because is not enough. Whereas, when I was living in the van I used to have more free cash to plan my moves. Now I plan to get me a van, and save on rent so that I can go back to school and finish what I started.

Thank you!
Honey our people built the pyramids it’s in his bloodline to build and create be blessed brother May you use you talents to build Gods kingdom
Aliens built the pyramids. Nevertheless that van is amazing.
Well done Sir!
I have been thinking of doing something similar.
After watching many people's builds I have to say this build is more to my taste than most.
I especially like how you kept it open feeling inside...not so much stuff reducing the already narrow dimensions but reduced length instead for a more square, open feel.
One thing I did see that was a huge potential problem though...the short backsplash behind the drivers seat and no headrest on that seat means any bump from behind will whiplash the drivers skull at the neck area into the sharp, top edge of that backsplash and kill or paralyze the driver.
Please keep in mind for you and your customers.
Finally somebody has good planning, technically and financially efficient and so well presented, time stamped. You make it look so simple and take your skills for granted. Thank you for showing all your work. You could have broken the whole thing into a 30 episode series but you didn't. You just go to the point in a capsule and I appreciate this. Best luck to you and thank you.
Yeah and he's fast too
Yep, I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it - all 15 minutes worth. You my friend are a great craftsmen. Well done!

Thats woo too much money!!!!
@@swedensy That's really not
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773
You're right but he may mean post-build expenses as a van can go anywhere. You can find a place to park and sleep but a shipping container has to be stationary somewhere and that somewhere is going to cost money.
Unless it's family land or already owned and then it's not a worry.
Either way, I'd imagine this dude could really go wild on something like a shipping container!
@@DannyWilliamH It's still not that much money. You have to shop very carefully to design the interior of any home for that. Materials aren't cheap.
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773
Yeah, but I'm saying they may have meant the cost of where to put it. Land costs money, haha.
I agree that the cost of the container alone and fixing it would be in par with the vans (or not too far off to avoid looking into).
I'm saying a van doesn't have to sit stationary on a plot of land, therefore that saved cost *is* an issue if you don't own land.
I don't know if that's what they meant but merely said it could be. Depending on where you wanted to put the container and if you did or did not own the land already could be a hefty sum to consider.
Then again, long-term fuel costs for the van may eclipse that anyway so...?

I’m doing security cameras too, gotta know if someone is approaching your van or bus while sleeping or just like hanging out in it or generally cause of burglars
You Need those in a Van.
@@jenniferlorence1950 uh can’t you just look out the window
Truly incredible craftsmanship. Great use of such a small space. It's so impressive that you did this all yourself!
The question is:
Do you have any tiny house vans for sale right now????? This one was awesome! I am definitely interested.
Me too...

If I had a nickel for every time I said "oh my god that's smart"...
CZcams: Randomly recommends this video.
Me: Mortgage just got paid, but okay whatever.
Also, Me: Watches video + commercials, subscribes and about to refinance, advertise tenants for house, and downsize to personally live in van.
CZcams: Told you so.
Same. Bidding my rent money up
Me: buys e book now looking for van
RoboRich turn it into a rental and let it pay for your van life!!
@@Felisargyle he said that.
rent expv
misc love stuff love do 💯
Great video!!! Much enjoyed! I was a builder myself, specialty millworks entry units, stain glass in houses!! Loved it, keep up the great work!!!
I can understand the love for building after being a carpenter for more than 20 years and loving every minute of it!!! When you have a love for this kind of stuff 50% of it comes naturally... something tells me he's an engineer of some sort!!
Serious props on this man! Makes me realize I’m able to do this with on a low budget!
Videos that document the progress of creative projects like this have helped inspire and motivate others to get up off the couch and start their own custom build.
Prior to the Corona Virus I was searching for a custom van that could seat two and double as a mobile tiny house.
I've got a group of five volunteers and we are frequently called out to assist in search and rescues for missing people. This is the type of van I need so groups of two can come back, regroup, cook, eat, sleep or rest.
Now I'm anxious to start saving money again so I can create something similar but that can also serve as a medic.
That's really cool! I think it would be fun even if you don't ever need it
I love your videos and how you show your process. I have a suggestion to help you make more builds. You could make these builds and raffle them off. Like create a place where people can buy raffle tickets for like $20 a piece and then run that for about a month afterwards letting the computer generate winners like the top five winners where the top winner gets the van and the rest of them get cash prizes. Just a suggestion.
Can we just appreciate the fact that my man built like a house!🤯
Much love homie❤️🔥
Me: Thats a great idea! I should flip vans to turn a profit too!
Also Me: Wait... is it righty tighty, loosey lefty ? 😅😐
Donald J. Trump trump? ☺️
lol
😂
that bed build looks comfy as hell. this whole thing is so cool.
Love him he’s not sitting around looking confused he’s doing good useful jobs
A real man can turn anything into a treasure.. keep it up.. more men need to Realize the value of their hands in this generation
I just found this channel and obsessed with it. Like I'm mind blown with all of these renovations. I would hire him in a heartbeat to turn my Van or Chevy Tahoe into a functional tiny space for road trips. So talented 👏👏👏
Great build! Mad talented!!! Would you ever consider building tiny homes? U definitely got the skills for it!
W. H. Yes! I plan on doing tiny homes and shipping containers in the future!
@@Dualex_Builds You might want to check out CZcamsrs Spencer & Mackenzie. They are currently doing a double shipping container house! Follow along! Life Uncontained is their channel.
I want one
@@Dualex_Builds hi. Can I be your assistant when you start your business? Also, how can I contact you? My goal / dream is to move to Ghana.
DualEx I would like too order one seriously
I'm 76 years old a female and I'm so addicted to these videos. But this young genius opened my eyes to why. My dad was an artist with comfortable with wood working. I cried to understand this. 😊
2:31 was so satisfying how it matched the beat.
Try 3:10 as well. The jigsaw made a riff lol
Song name please
The wireless charging station in the fold down counter blew my mind!
Me too! I was looking with my mouth open... Like WOWWWW... Now that's cool! Dude got so much talent!
I am so happy I found this channel. This young man is such an inspiration. He is the king of transformation and a master at creating storage spaces.
I was thinking this man is good enough at his work and tight enough budget to do this as a business of buy, convert and resell and get to the end and that is what he did....that was great!
You're my hero! You're an artist. Im seriously envious of whomever bought this build. What a beautiful build im seriously in awe of what you do.
Buy a old van and try it yourself. Patience is the key. Measure twice cut once!
God bless this man with a gift of building.Have a wonder day everyone and use your gifts to be blessed we all have gifts and talents.
thanks you have a wonderful day too
You have my respect, and my envy. Mostly, my envy. I'm over here paying 1200 a month for the same damn floorspace 😭
Oh wow your so right!!!!!
That's not envy, that's stupid. Why?
You must live in new York
Sounds like California
Cost of living is sky-rocketing. Are you lot children?
I'm impressed! You have some awesome skills. Your unique building style, along with the quality of the work that you put into these vans demands 15 minutes of somebody's time, the same level of respect
Be careful they dont like people living off the grid because your not paying bills.
Kristie Ludlam had a bad day?
Kristie Ludlam dont be negative
@Kristie Ludlam pretty much
@Kristie Ludlam One person doing all of that is _impressive._ For how little cash he used, _incredible._ *Watch the entire video before commenting. This is his job. He sold it.*
your what ?
I've thought about doing this w/the help of my dad. It's good to see a young man put his valuable skills to work...much respect.
I just subbed as I like what you’re doing. I’ve been a auto customizer (retired now) for many years, 35+, and am glad to see that things like this aren’t dead in this day and time where everything is point and click. Hats off to ya. Keep it going~
Just started the video and the engine in the cab is INSANE work, can’t wait to see how it turns out!
That is so cool, thanks for sharing. Also I thought i noticed coveralls like we had in the coast guard, if you’re a service member, thank you for your service
I’m surprised you noticed! I was in the US Navy for four years and now I just wear the coveralls when painting. Thank you and I’m glad you liked this build!
@@Dualex_Builds Awesome! I noticed them and was like I own several pair. I'm a Navy Veteran also...a Torpedoman. Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice.
@@Dualex_Builds I too noticed! Thank you for your service. I have a niece in the Navy, Chief Janae... is making a career in the Navy.
Bro, trust me. Having a girl who supports yous worth its weight in gold. Don't let her go.
Amen

Not trying to be "that guy", but.... Does it got anything to do with brother having a Caucasian girl?🤔
@@kiacedillo7067 Race doesn't matter much. My girl was white and she was usually never too supportive. Personality is what matters!
me: "looks in wallet"
me: "looking at my PC"
PC: dont do it
Niko Lindroos ?.??
with enough battery storage you could run your gaming PC right in the van
Nick slik T. Leep I don’t understand the WiFi situation though
@@castro2590 google "verizon jetpack" that's the brand i have but there are tons of them. they're just a device that uses cell service to put out only a hotspot. that is also how police have wifi in their cars. you could also use a hotspot on your phone but none are truly unlimited like some of the dedicated devices are
@@nicholaslepp1502 It would be more effective to have a laptop, they are made to be energy efficient
I love this build! I renovate campers and just finished my pop up!
He didn’t have to call us out like that at the end.
😭😭😭😭
😭😭😭
Do your thing kid
Thinks hes hard in that string vest
WOW!! You can tell what he's thinking? Amazing!
So talented it’s hard finding a guy like this who likes to build and create I love to learn how to make projects like this but I would need to be closely supervised
A couple tips, insulation under the flooring. Also silicone between the roof vent and roof before screwing down or any of the holes through the roof just for waterproof sake
