Van, Bus or Box Truck. This will be the question in my head in the next 12 months.
Van:
Pros = Easier to maneuver around a city, can go stealth, better for longer travel
Cons = Smaller Space
Bus:
Pros = Bigger space
Cons = Harder to go stealth
Box Truck
Pros = Bigger space (depending on size), stealth to look like a delivery truck
Cons = Bulkier, harder to get around
I was thinking of maybe a moped or even a micro car to tug along. At this point though, a box truck looks more promising.
Stealth doesn't exist especially if you are boondocking or camping
What did you go with
Box truck is the way to go. I soon buy one to convert here in The Bahamas
Yes box trucks are the best of both worlds but you’d def need another vehicle
The inside is just absolutely perfect the outside as well I will leave the outside the way it is that's what you call true stealth love it I love it I love
Nice build!! I'd blur the license plate at the end for privacy reasons.
You can see it at the beginning when he opens the doors to start showing the inside too. 😬
The lock on the back door doesn't look secure either.
🤷♂️ It's public knowledge.
That's a myth
@@Soaring_Raven212 As someone in law enforcement, I can assure you it isn’t a myth.
Beautiful grain matched cabinets inside. Love the beetle kill pine on the back wall, too. Nice layout, too. It looks like a mad max box truck from the outside. 👍
Love the layout and simplicity
Nice build. Pretty stealth too.
The only big little thing I see I'd do differently is put something over the pex lines at the ceiling. Those look tacky. Aside from that great job brother!!
Nice use of the space.
Love it. Fabulous interior.
awesome, I can only applaud you for who you are.
Schraders on feed lines are a great idea. Why doesn't every RV have that?
@@ddrigmaiden I never considered that. I would not think they contain lead
lead free brass
When it comes to age of the truck, how far back is it reasonable to go?
The license plate should be blurred, at the end.
Very impressive! Make me one
Nice build, wouldn't say was the best layout ever, wouldn't have used up so much space with the bed or such a limited fridge etc myself but still v nice.
Nice
Do you have a recommendation on how to cover or overlay, or ?a translucent roof?
I was expecting a more refined build but it’s very functional!
What brand is that water heater?
1:47 I even rewinded and turned on subtitles to maybe catch has he mentioned the brand, but with no avail. And your comment is unanswered for 7 months now 👘
I FOUND IT; Wolf 6000AW Air and Water Heater
Box truck is definitely the best option! How much total cost?
How wide it is
What size box is this, what are the dimensions!
I want one so bad... I want one insulated for extreme winter living with a tiny wood stove inside.
Dimensions of the van?
Sweet build, the Pullup bar is an awesome idea
It's the guy from willow!
😂
i think you spot on keeping the outside rough for security,,,,great job!
Would you sell it to me and if so how much
Looks real nice and spacious. Love shower
That box truck doesn’t look sketchy at all…
I bet the FBI and ATF knows where this thing is at ALL Times.
he can get locked into the van. He should have the hasp lock open by putting a loop on the open side to put the lock into it and lock it open.
He can exit through the cab if that happens.
Good advice.
I imagine what I'd want if my daughter were sleeping in it. A predator could break into the cab and even drive off with her inside.
He can get out into the cab of the truck
Nice but to big for me.
What if you have to poop in the middle of the night? Or what if you are sick with the runs and need to hit the toilet repeatedly for 24 hours? I plan on getting a dry flush toilet.
Mymust-havee list is a hydraulic bed, toilet, shower, and a pocket door to the cab.
I think a box truck is better than a van because they are more affordable and because you get a square, so it's so much easier to build and furnish. The angles and curves in the van are too complicated for this do it yourself gal. It's just insane right now how much vans are going for. I was looking for a used one, already built out, and the cheapest one that I would be ok with was $60k. If you wan tto do it yourself, you're looking at $30-$40k just for the van. If you have a shop do your conversion, that's another $50-$100k and most of them are pretty generic without a lot of choices or customization allowed. I'm sorry, but for $100k to $150k all in, I want to be able to choose my layout and fabrics and materials and color scheme.
I then started looking at some converted vans for sale in Europe, and even with the cost of shipping to the USA, it would still be way cheaper than buying a finished campervan here. Also, the materials and craftsmanship and storage efficiency was overall much more clever and years ahead of what I was seeing domestically. I then looked it up and found that it is legal for the driver to be on the wrong (right) side. I was surprised! I'm not sure how I would feel about driving a large vehicle on the right side, but if I could hamdle it and get used to it, there are some amazing campervans for sale!!
For doing 30 builds this is pretty crude. A step or two above some kids making a tree fort with found materials.
I love your van build but you don't talk about the cost of everything
I don’t have a need for a toilet. I unexpectedly got a stomach virus. Now what ya gonna do?
Nice build. But it loses major points for lack of a toilet. I will never understand people putting in a shower over a toilet. There is nothing worse than needing a toilet and not having one. A daily shower can be had at any local gym, public beach, or pool. $20/mo gives 24/7 access to Planet Fitness or 24 Hour Fitness showers. I shower at the gym as much as I do at home, anyways. But I hate hate hate using disgusting public restrooms and avoid it as much as possible.
Both shower and toilet necessities. During COVID lockdowns, it was shown that you can't depend on public facilities.
Public showers are just as disgusting as the toilets
@@hmmm2564 Excellent point.
@@hmmm2564 I have a home but I use showers at the gym regularly. I love to use the steam bath at my gym, too. Maybe it is not your speed.
If I have to choose I would rather have a toilet than a shower. Prefer to have both.
@@geejaybee1970 no it is not. Those things are not truly clean especially how so many people have disgusting hygiene
Very nice build EXCEPT…..the toilet issue. Did you know that most women have to go at least 1-2 times at night. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to have to boogie with Yogi and BooBoo in the dark. If you wanted to sell it could be difficult.
You learn to ration your bathroom use when you don't always have a nice full sized unlimited water power etc...
@@ryanjones7681 the older one becomes biology doesn’t give us a choice.
It's fairly easy to get a portable toilet and keep it in the shower. Then lift it out when you take a shower.
Why cant you pee in the shower?
@@lawrencedavidson6195 You don't want to mix your urine with your gray water. It makes the gray water stink, so you have to dump it sooner.
Beautiful truck. But why is he so sexy? Lol
For a professional van builder not impressed
The whole thing looks like crap on the outside, not a big deal on the inside!
I love it simplicity. Its perfect to me. I'm keeping mine stealth on the outside similar to his.
