VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Courtney and Sawyer have been together for over six years and have talked about van life since the beginning. After graduating college, they saved funds and dove into their life on the road! Their tiny home on wheels is a 2003 Isuzu NPR named Elfie.
This unique rig used mostly recycled material within the design. From a salvaged BMW battery to grandmas wood repurposed into furniture! They installed a lift bed, a functional kitchen, and large windows in the living space. Courtney and Sawyer even built a kitty condo for their fur baby, Mew Mew. The mural on the side sets them apart from other box trucks, along with the front porch at the back door! A beautiful design and a lovely tiny home on wheels.

This is really the first box van conversion I could see myself living in. The layout of the living room and kitchen are so smart. You can tell these 2 are extremely creative. Great build, I love it!!!
I Totally 🎉😅😌😍 Agree Mary. 🫶🏾🙌🏾✊🏾
Isuzu N Series is the most underrated truck. Secret is out now I guess.
This is brilliant! The best build I've seen to date. I love the ceiling color. The home is well planned and beautifully decorated. Lots of comfortable style! Thanks for the tour!
This build will go down as one of my favorites for many reasons. First, it crushes the sprinter van cookie cutter builds that are just claustophopic and redicliously expensive. Your build screams comfort and practicality. I love refurbishing things and you have incorporated those items perfectly. It also shouts creativity. Every nook was carefully considered. The bed lift was ingenious. The cat nook was brilliant. It didn't matter the size; you just made it a real home. You must of had a lot of fun contructing it. I can imagine the cat overseeing all your hard work. You both have such warm personalities so seeing the end result was beautiful. Well done.
Beautiful comfortable home! And MewMew's eyes wow!
I really like how you show how the bed lift can be inexpensive and achievable. And the corner storage is a really insightful idea.
Love it! Can you share/post the link to the specific lift you purchased from Amazon?
So much storage. Beautiful space and detail
As far as box truck homes go, this is the coolest, the living room - it's like being in a awesome apartment loft!
Cheers guys!
The rebuild is awesome with SO many lovely touches. I LOVE this couple!! They are SO genuine and loving and the way they describe everything as "ours" is SO refreshing and genuine. 🥰
I found and bought a box truck $3,700 and building a pad and put it beside my garage.
I was going to put shelving and used as a storage container on wheels for my Electrical left over stock materials.
9 feet high about 20 feet long Ford E-450 run great and but my daughter was telling me about van life people. Maybe and I’m thinking about turning into a small house. I think it will be fun . Great Ideas. Great video.
THE BED LIFT IS THE BEST!!!! BRILLIANT!!!
Your truck conversion is simply awesome. You guys thought of everything to make your home beautiful👍
This is a complete home. Warm and so organised. Every bit of space was utilised, and well planned for comfort. Just wow!
OMG, your cat is beautiful. I am always amazed at the creativity involved in designing rigs. Such talent. And you two seem like such a nice, pleasant, thoughtful couple. Good luck and safe travels.
❤ I just love your box truck build! You did an amazing job. Y’all along with your kitty 🐱 are just too cute! Enjoy.
Love you’ll home
I think i saw this when you first got it, (maybe)this is one of my favorites and your cat is adorable! Home is very cozy! Love it! Adorable cat!
This is a beautiful and ingenious build!! Love it!
Cheers
I really like seeing so many people recycling products. So creative.
I so love the way you used every space. It's really really nice. I'm saving this video in case I find a box truck because I'd copy what you guys did.❤️
Your home is lovely. I’m just 69 only just lol. I’d live in a tiny house tomorrow but yet to convince my husband. I don’t like what everyone else has and I find tiny homes so individual. Yours is so well designed and I like you have re- used wood etc. Happy travelling. I know envy isn’t a good trait but I’m envious. 😊😊😊
This is a great build, but what I'm more amazed about is how organized you have everything!!! Mewmew is so beautiful and she looks happy, living in your home on wheels🐈🤗 Enjoy your journey and thanks for sharing👍
This is an incredible conversion, it's so homely and comfortable. These guys should be so proud and they are such a lovely, genuine couple. Thank you for sharing your home and story with us 😊
I’m trying so hard to focus on the awesome build but I’m also in love with Mew Mew 🖤
Awesome build, it’s perfect! I absolutely love your home. And that kitty is so sweet! Great job you guys.
Awesome build!
This feels like a real home! Great organization and layout. Beautiful colors too.
Agreed! Thanks for sharing
I love this cosy home 😍👍
What an amazingly well designed home on wheels. If I had to make any criticism, it would be that that the stove should be where there sink is. I say this because in the 90's I had a Bedford Ambulance converted into a camper and the stove was where it is in this set up. The problem for me was the smell of the cooking went up into the bed and made it smell. I had a bed platform as opposed to a lift. Happy days......
Charming couple. Excellent build - one of the most imaginative I have seen so far. Great job.
It feels like I have seen every campervan, box truck, and cargo trailer build out there, and this one is still one of my very favorites.
I have found that I have 3 requirements that I can't live without on my build. First is a hydraulic bed, so I can have a spacious seating area like this one. Second, if it's a campervan, the cab needs to be walled off. Ideally, there would be access to the cab. I'm not sure if this is a deal breaker. With a campervan, I would definitely have a passage to the cab. With a box truck, I would probably cut a small door so I could hunch over and crawl into the cab. My 3rd requirement is a shower that is either separate.from the toilet, or that has a toilet that is hidden in the wall of the shower so you can slide it out when you need it, and the rest of the time it is slid into the wall, out of the way. I would have a no flush toilet. It's the only toilet I would be ok with that doesn't involve a black water tank.
lifting bed was insane. Well built setup design ♥️
The absolute best build! Love this.
This is the BEST yet!! I could so live there. Very thought out, creative and perfect!
Love this
Your living my dream
best car home so far :)
Great work on the kitchen sink & counter!!
Very nicely put together. A very cozy home.
Omg this is what I need that would be perfect love it .... Great job !!!
I love this build it's so unique..great idea with sink and the whole kitchen..I just love it all.. enjoy your journey best wishes from Ireland
I’m amazed by how much they’ve thought through and repurposed. Fantastic build!
Love it! Very organized and welcoming 💓
I'm currently building in an Isuzu box truck as well. Similar layout to what I was planning and slightly jealous they got such a good deal. I had to pay 4k for a 1994, and I didn't even get a liftgate! Just rust :(
So many really thoughtful and unique details. Your aesthetic really vibes with mine so I'm taking lots of notes!
This is the best so far.👏👏👏
I'm very much impressed with positioning of the bed and the space.
Wow - you're each other's number one asset! Live forever!
Mieu
Really well designed build that is so beautifully decorated. It looks like a comfortable home.
Love this home 🏠 very nice 🙂❤️
This truly is inspiring and a wonderful build.
very good job guys, lot of space ,light ,lovely
Really smart build! So attractive and welcoming. Thanks for sharing with us. I think it's one of the best builds I've ever seen! Jane in SC ❤️ 🙏 Stay safe!
You guys have everything you need, a whole home and it's beautiful, I love it.
I agree one of the best builds….so much useful space! Every inch counted…great Job
I've watched lots of these and hands down this is my favourite build. Every space is well thought out, and utilised. It's amazing. Helps that you're both so talented. And that bathroom is something else. First one that I said to myself "that is a home"
Well done!!
I have been watching Tiny Home videos since the last 7 years and this is the first home which has gotten me too excited. The first video ever that I watched twice in a go. Can't say whether I loved the house more or the inhabitants. So much homely and warm vibes. The most mature, practical and stunning design I have seen so far.
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely couple's journey. I wish them best! Kind regards.
So glad you found some inspiration! Courtney & Sawyer have created a gorgeous build and life on the road, and we're stoked that they shared it with us. 🫶
Sending love to Elsie from an Elsie. 🤗
Love this one. Well done guys!
Your kindness shines and the van was great your a cute couple
What a beautifully designed home!
My favourite box truck to date! Everything is so well designed. The cat condo is a brilliant idea and the cat is equally cool 😀
Your home is beautiful so clean and looks very comfortable
Beautiful Home On The Road
Very creative couple. Your Kitty is beautiful too.
This is an amazing build. You cannot tell it is a box truck. Love it
I love this build. It’s so functional and well thought out. Great video.
Love this build! Cat is so pretty too!
Absolutely gorgeous so much space,lovely bathroom,I think it must be the best I’ve seen,well done
The entry and shower are awesome!
A brilliant van. Admittedly a very large van length and height. Very well thought out. One of the best.
I love this couple's beautiful home. It has one of the best uses of space I have seen yet.
Love, love, LOVE this! One of my favorite builds so far. Headed to follow you on Instagram right now ☺️.
Absolute perfection... Well done!! 💖
Absolutely beautiful. Well thought out.
This is such a perfect build. Well done! I might steal ever detail from you. Fantastic job. Found my dream build. I can do this. Just need an artist now. Love the piece on the left side. Gorgeous.
We wouldn't blame you for stealing every detail, it's truly a gorgeous home on wheels! The artistic touches are incredible.😊
This is amazing, it has it all. I'm loving the bathroom. It looks really big not at all confined and the bed ( and cat lol) genius. They both have serious skills
They did a great job with their build. 👍
I see a first box van where I can live too!! Thanks for sharing!
Great build. If the house was built to move off the truck. If the truck craps out, just move the box.
Awesome job on this tiny home build! 👍
Wow, love this! One of the best uses of space I’ve seen
Awesome in every detail. Keep it up and enjoy your travels. Happy to see someone utilizing a tankless water heater. Thanks for sharing. 🤗😘
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I absolutely LOVE this home!
Best by far ever!
V functional van home with all essential features n wash room
Brilliant! Beautiful job.
Well taught out build, love the hidden bed and the book shelves is an amazing touch ❤😊
Beautiful m best build iv ever seen. You guys did a wonderful job.
Your box truck is beautiful
Awesome! Love it!
Seriously, this build is absolutely fanfreakintastic!! I’ve lived tiny since 2013… but in prefab rv’s & trailers. This build has everything!! That bed though 🥰 The whole build looks beautiful & absolutely functional 💗 if y’all ever come to Austin (I’ve got a place for you to park), I’d love the opportunity to chat & see the rig irl!! So good! Feeling inspired ✌️
lovely tiny house truck good job well done 🩵🔆⭐️🩵⭐️🔆🔆🔆🔆⭐️⭐️🩵⭐️🔆🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵⭐️⭐️
Keep in mind that the battery system is a flammable issue. It's similar to what we have in semis and they're known to catch on fire. Make sure you have a fire alarm and a fire extinguisher nearby.
Espectacular tu casa. Cada parte tan bien planificada y de buen gusto.
Estoy buscando un NPR para hacer mi casa y la idea de la cama y los espacios abiertos me encantó.
Saludos desde Cali Colombia 🇨🇴
Really love this build. So homey and rustic which I love and all of the reclaimed items are so cool! So many times you see new builds and they are so modern and perfect you’re afraid to touch anything. The bed on a lift is brilliant! Excellent idea. You don’t even realize you’re in a box truck once you’re inside. Great composting choice. I looked at the Natures Head but after a while it just lost its appeal so I started looking elsewhere and came across the one you installed. All in all I love everything you’ve done. I could easily see myself living there! Vaya con Dios!!
Your box truck is very simplistic
The bathroom setup is nice.
Love the mini cat condo. I have 2 rescue cats that help me with my foster kittens. They are very helpful
Beautiful build !! ❤️👍
Nice job. Great build.👍
Awesome home you have
You did a wonderful job.
