He estado viendo varios videos y varios canales de autocaravanas de diferentes países. hmmm.. 🤔🤔 y me había puesto a pensar: ¿¿Que ha nadie se le había ocurrido la brillante idea, de hacer un camión caravana, con un contenedor??🤨🤨 ...😃😀... Y mira, ¡¡¡¡ eres el primero en casi todos los canales del youtube, que se le ocurre esta brillante e ingeniosa idea!!!!..🤗🤗.. wow te mega felicito!!.🥳😎 ☺😚También YO tendría la brillante idea de elegir un contenedor, para hacer una caravana.🤗🥰.
I knew if I waited long enough (I'm 75) someone would steal my thoughts. Glad to know it could be done. Saves me a lot of trouble. Great job, enjoy your work. Narragansett Bay
Hello Jeb, what a great message!! ❤️👍 Great minds think a like 😄. And there are a few more who thought like us. Happy to share with you it is a very comfortable home. In out next video we will show a lot more. Hope to see you there! ❤️👍
Wonderful! Only thing Id have done different is make a passthrough from the cab to the living area. Other than that love seeing odd vehicles turned into RVs/homes!
Yeah, a pass-through could be OK. I have left the space for it available. (Over the bed.) So perhaps I will make it someday. In any way, thanks for your support and question! ❤️👍❤️👍
Awesome job! You built something multifunctional for your environment and for your lifestyle! You also have built it well and will get many years of wonderful use out of it. All around great job and thank you for sharing your build with us. 😉👍
Nice, Tidy, really far better than I expected, also it takes so much to insulate a container. What a great idea! I particularly like the rooftop tents.
Thank you for taking the time and leave a comment! ❤️ Today was a really hot day in Europe. We decided to sleep in the tent much cooler, had a nice sleep. 👍
Thanks for all the support we got on our last video! For our next video we would like to know what you want to see more of. Please feel free to let us know here! ❤❤
Молодец Для себя делал 👍. Одобряю подход с жилым модулем. По будням у тебя грузовик или эвакуатор, а на выходных автодом.Мой УАЗ - 3303 внедорожник завидует. Автодом это вам не палатка на крыше.
weer een prachtig werk. Mooi gedaan en gaaf van binnen. ik heb 't gezien op m'n nieuwe 75inch televisie. 't is echt als of je live ernaast gaat staan.... groetjes uit duitsland
I almost get emotional to see the quality of work you put into this. I would love to hear more about planning such a project: work order; design; planning the wiring and plumbing. It seems overwhelming. Would also like to know more about the legislation: is this classified as a camper now, and is that a difficult process? Also, what about operating costs when stationary?
Wow, comments like these make us continue making videos! Thank you! ❤️❤️ Many of your questions will be answered in later videos. Thanks for your advice on content/videos what you would like to see! I will take the time in explaining many, if not all, of the topics you are asking about. Thank you again and hope to see you more often!! 🥳👍
Ganz tolle Arbeit von euch und das Ergebnis ... WOW habe bei meinen 7,5 t auch viel machen müssen Respekt an Euch und viele schöne Momente mit diesem Fahrzeug Gruss aus der
Mag ik zo brutaal zijn om te vragen wat het verbruik van de truck is en daarbij geniaal om een container en container wagen te gebruiken ivm de regels in NL .
👍❤️ Dank voor het compliment! Er zitten wel wat haken en ogen aan hoor, ook nu nog, zeker tav de regelgeving. Maar ik ben er zeker tevreden mee. Normaal verbruik is 1 op 5 en dat is geen brutale vraag hoor, die krijg ik heel vaak 😄👍
@@uglysjourney Yes I should elaborate, I really like the build quality, & especially like the idea of using a shipping container, haulage mounted. Question- can it be demounted & still habitable?
❤️ Thank you again! No foul play intended at my side as well. So all is and was good. 👍 Yes, we can take it off and live in it. We need a connection to fresh water and sewage. Oh and a ground-pin. We might do that someday, when we get bored with travel and find a nice plot of land. 👍❤️
Great skills and nice for sitting and enjoying the outdoors, but it appears to be far too heavy to be practical? Seeing how much the rear squatted down from the empty container, it’s hard to imagine that with the elaborate build and large tanks that it is not super heavy. What is the total weight after completion?
Thanks for your comment and support! ❤️👍 You are right, it has some weight, but for us it is very practical. Total is 12.000 kg. Truck itself is 7.000 kg, the fully loaded container is 5.000 kg. Hope it is ok to give the numbers in kg?
Truly awesome. Obv she's not a stealth camper!!!!! But I'm wondering if there is any way to utilise the tarp to make it so. That tarp, or a modified version of it, could be perfect for overnight stays in urban environments....it would just look like any old truck parked up...even with some lumpy bits!
Yeah that tarp could certainly be used for stealth purposes! But to be honest, even now many people think we are a working-truck. And we never have any issue staying overnight for a couple of days. I guess, being yellow, Ugly has a bit of a fun-factor. 👍❤️
El espacio del mueble es muy largo. Y le quita espacio al baño y la cocina para sentarse que sea menos espacio. Porque tienes la opción de tener sillas portátil y colocar afuera
Hola Julio, sí entiendo lo que dices. Hemos elegido conscientemente 6 plazas. Cuando estemos solos podremos tumbarnos en el sofá y cuando tengamos invitados podremos sentarnos a la mesa con 6 personas. Para nosotros ideal. 👍❤️
Thanks for the compliment!! ❤️👍 Indeed the fridge needs ventilation and it has 😄. Mostly from the back and a bit above and below. Thanks for thinking with me! 👍
Surely you can ask, thanks for you question! The reason for the rooftop tents is that we (plan to) live in Ugly and it will also serve as a Hotel on Wheels. So people can rent a place to stay with us and sleep in the rooftop tents. Especially for cyclists is the idea. I am not sure the website translates for you, but you could have a look at www.uglysjourney.com 👍❤️
Great build. Now that you know how to build one - estimated 70k budget, imagine you scale this and take customer orders. I assume there is a market for this product and high level of quality.
Yeah, that is a great idea!! Get employees, a workspace, an office, a sales rep..... Man that is not for me, but when somebody wants to use my idea and make it into a business, than I am open to talk 😄👍 You are not the first to make this comment. And I always love how minds of entrepreneurs like yourself work. There is a business there no doubt, but it is not me who is building that business 😄👍. What we try to do is have little income (and little expenses), and with that have much free time and quality of life. We played the ratrace thing and we finished the game. 👍
@@uglysjourney I totally agree and can relate - there is more to life than trying to make as much money as possible. I've been on the Hamster wheel for the past 21 years and can't wait to get off. Again great job and enjoy!
Yeah, a container build with IKEA, I also thought it would not go well. But all is good so far. And it will be easy to replace 👍😄. Thanks for your thoughts! Please stick around ❤️👍
Goedemiddag Sabine en Marco, great camper! Thanks for sharing. One question: how do you cope with all the different street toll systems for lorries across Europe? Greetings from Aken, Carsten
Good question, thanks! ❤️👍 And I understand why you would like to know...... We have the truck registered as a commercial vehicle and we have a contract with BP. They provide an electronic box for on the dashboard and that registers all in EU. It is perfect! I think out NL ADAC had also a sort of box. Perhaps in Germany as well?
@@uglysjourney Ah, alright. I was hoping that you found a way around the toll. After all, we are not using the lorries for commercial purposes. Thanks and good travels, Carsten
Hi Richard! Leuk om wat te horen! ❤️👍. Maximale gewicht truck is 12 ton. En we zijn ook echt 12 ton, inclusief alles (vol diesel, vol water etc) 🫣😄 Precies goed 🥳
@@uglysjourney I've been pondering on the similar idea of building an RV on the Ford Transit base which can carry about 1600kg of weight. When I roughly calculated the weight of the final product it was minimum 1000kg. More realistic would be about 1200kg. I was shocked because of how little remains to reach the maximum weight. Looking at how much wood and how heavy the vinyl floor on top of your container looks, I'm projecting it on Ford Transit and start to feel sorry for how much any transformed car has to endure for recreational purpose :)). Don't get me wrong, you did a great job. Since calculating the weight of the payload I've been thinking of how to maximum reduce the weight and still to maintain nice look of the interior.
@vitalie96 yeah, weight....it is a thing. Many of the factory campers on the road today are well over their weight limit.... And I was expecting to stay will below 12 tonnes..... That said I do not feel my build can be an example for the "smaller" builds. Just my watertanks alone is half the weight 🤪👊. Good luck in finding the sweet spot in your design! ❤️👍
You are right, always things that need improving. Solar panel setup can be more efficient. And we need a flyscreen in the side door as well. But all in all we are quite happy with the results. We will make a video on learnings and further improvements. Thanks for the tips! 😄👍
You are engineer ;) Very nice job, respect! I have a few question. How much cost to keeping this truck? Only keep, without fueling, and toll. (I think insurance and same other costs in NL for upkeep a truck). How you solved grey watertank and tubes from bath? Your job maybe in any transport firm? Thanks :)
That is such a nice comment! Thank you ❤️👍. To keep the truck on the road we have road tax and insurance. About 3000 euros per year. For maintenance between 1000 and 2000 euro. Gray watertank we have an outlet. We can dump it at special stations or where we would like 🤷🫣. No, I am not in transport, but I studied logistics and used to live in Rotterdam (container capital of Europe 😄).
@@uglysjourney thanks. In my country, same truck upkeep (insurance and other costs) are 2500-300 EUR / year. Plus toll, plus fuel, plus repair if need. I think, the bigger cost is insurance... :/ Good luck, nice trip! Im waiting to next videos.
@@uglysjourneyno, Im drop the key in 2018 (im transporting 7 yrs) and I was ride to bus. From 2022 jan to 2023 mar I was fleetmanager in bus firm, from 2023 mar to 2024 febr I was dispatcher in a small transport firm. Now Im search my new job and continous dreaming for my RV. In Hungary not a simple and easy country for buy and upkeep RVs, the payments enough to living, not more. I sent my CV over 40 firms in HU, and I get more more "no thanks" messages... I have knowledge (without schools) and I can't use anywhere... Its a hard mode of living. I sent mail to you in a few months ago, where I write the toll of hungarian roads and a few points to look, if you want to see around in my country.
@bthomyka my heart ❤️ goes out to you! Hope you will back in a job in no time 🤞🤞🤞. You seem like a very nice person, so someone will see that I am sure. Good luck!!
@sc0or yeah indeed, that was my thoughts as well and I thought that the resistance would be less. But yeah, bit funny such a big cable.... Thanks for asking! ❤️👍
Thanks for your question! 👍❤️ We have heating, that is the Wallas heater and stove combi, diesel powered. Cooling we do not have. We do not need it. Thanks!
Congratulations, I love your truck and how you did it. One question, is the furniture from Ikea? The supports where you anchor the furniture, where could I get them? All the best
@romanomaximo6649 there might be a bit of movement (I have not filmed during driving) but we added some connections and screws. Untill now we do not see any loose cupboards or askew doors. Hope this helps! ❤️👍
Yeah, I think it could work. I choose storage below the bed, so you would not have that with a Murphy bed. Or you could create another bed on the location where I put the sofa's. 👍❤️
Hi Hank, I hope you do not mind a reply in KG? The maximum allowed weight of the truck is 12.000 KG. When fully loaden (incl water and diesel) we are at that weight. 😅🫣 Thanks for the support!!
@@uglysjourney Nope, I was thinking about that, but since Sunday night (vote results) my new goal is to escape somewhere else indefinitely. Nice country but immature and dangerous people.
@hankhulator5007 Poeh, that sounds both great and scary at the same time.... I am not getting into who is right and who is not, but I know I wish you the best. Please take care of yourself, whatever you do ❤️❤️👍
Yeah fridges make some sound. Some more than others, especially older ones. I made sure to purchase the silent ones 😉👍. And, with that, the room is very tiny, does not really matter where you place the noise- maker 😄. So yeah, no issues here 👍
Tengo un diseño. Creo que con una mejor distribución y no se ve tan apretado. Debes de pensar en tu comodidad. No en la de los invitados. Recuerda que vas a estar con tu pareja mayor tiempo.
I like everything in this building except the gas appliance in a box with poor ventilation. You are signing your possible asphyxiation. This is not a good idea.
Your van is lovely , looks just like a cabin on the inside , so cozy, love it , so much work has gone into this van , well done , New Sub here , greetings from Wales

Gray watertank we have an outlet. We can dump it at special stations or where we would like 🤷🫣.
No, I am not in transport, but I studied logistics and used to live in Rotterdam (container capital of Europe 😄).
@@uglysjourney thanks. In my country, same truck upkeep (insurance and other costs) are 2500-300 EUR / year.
Plus toll, plus fuel, plus repair if need.
I think, the bigger cost is insurance... :/
Good luck, nice trip!
Im waiting to next videos.
@bthomyka Thanks for being here! Do you live in a truck as well? Hope to see you next time!
@@uglysjourneyno, Im drop the key in 2018 (im transporting 7 yrs) and I was ride to bus. From 2022 jan to 2023 mar I was fleetmanager in bus firm, from 2023 mar to 2024 febr I was dispatcher in a small transport firm. Now Im search my new job and continous dreaming for my RV. In Hungary not a simple and easy country for buy and upkeep RVs, the payments enough to living, not more.
I sent my CV over 40 firms in HU, and I get more more "no thanks" messages...
I have knowledge (without schools) and I can't use anywhere... Its a hard mode of living.
I sent mail to you in a few months ago, where I write the toll of hungarian roads and a few points to look, if you want to see around in my country.
@bthomyka my heart ❤️ goes out to you! Hope you will back in a job in no time 🤞🤞🤞. You seem like a very nice person, so someone will see that I am sure. Good luck!!
The cable can hold 900A and won't be even warm. Isn't it an overkill?
Very much overkill... At every step in the calculation I rounded up..... And then it was difficult, during Covid, to get the right size....
@@uglysjourney Ah!.. I see. Will be a good reserve for further upgrades )
@sc0or yeah indeed, that was my thoughts as well and I thought that the resistance would be less. But yeah, bit funny such a big cable.... Thanks for asking! ❤️👍
没有冷暖设备么？
Thanks for your question! 👍❤️ We have heating, that is the Wallas heater and stove combi, diesel powered.
Cooling we do not have. We do not need it.
Thanks!
Nice❤, how much do u spend overall?
Thanks!! We spend a bit below €100k. And 1,5 year, that was the biggest investment 😄👍
@@uglysjourney definitely worth it 😊
Absolutely right! 👍❤️
Congratulations, I love your truck and how you did it.
One question, is the furniture from Ikea? The supports where you anchor the furniture, where could I get them?
All the best
The supports are part of the IKEA kitchen range. I would expect you would be able to get it at IKEA.
Thanks for asking and your compliment! 👍❤️
Thank you so much
Does it fit well?
Does the furniture not move with the vibrations and movements of the vehicle?
All the best
@romanomaximo6649 there might be a bit of movement (I have not filmed during driving) but we added some connections and screws. Untill now we do not see any loose cupboards or askew doors. Hope this helps! ❤️👍
Would a "murphy" bed work on a build like this?
Yeah, I think it could work. I choose storage below the bed, so you would not have that with a Murphy bed. Or you could create another bed on the location where I put the sofa's.
👍❤️

The other side of the world, amazing thing that CZcams. Thanks for being here and your compliment. Feels good! ❤️❤️👍
😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️👊👊👊👍👍👍
Hi, nice realization, there is one question though, what is the final weight ?
Hi Hank, I hope you do not mind a reply in KG? The maximum allowed weight of the truck is 12.000 KG. When fully loaden (incl water and diesel) we are at that weight. 😅🫣
Thanks for the support!!
@@uglysjourney Hi, I don't mind at all as I'm French :)
From what I saw, 12 tons fully loaded seems OK, thanks man.
👍😄 We are in 🇨🇵 now. Amazing country! Are you building as well?
@@uglysjourney Nope, I was thinking about that, but since Sunday night (vote results) my new goal is to escape somewhere else indefinitely. Nice country but immature and dangerous people.
@hankhulator5007 Poeh, that sounds both great and scary at the same time.... I am not getting into who is right and who is not, but I know I wish you the best. Please take care of yourself, whatever you do ❤️❤️👍

Sorry? I do not understand.
Schitterend
Dit doe je voor je beroep zeker en anders ben je een buurman en buurman in 1 met 2 gouden handjes
Dennie, ik ben gek op je (opmerkingen dan 😄👍). Maakte ons aan het lachen. Dank je wel 🤣🤣🤣
fridge next to the bed?? not sure that's a good idea
Really? Did not experience any issues yet. Can you explain yourself? 🤷
@@uglysjourney just noise.
Yeah fridges make some sound. Some more than others, especially older ones. I made sure to purchase the silent ones 😉👍.
And, with that, the room is very tiny, does not really matter where you place the noise- maker 😄.
So yeah, no issues here 👍
Tengo un diseño. Creo que con una mejor distribución y no se ve tan apretado. Debes de pensar en tu comodidad. No en la de los invitados. Recuerda que vas a estar con tu pareja mayor tiempo.
Hola Julio, gracias por tu comentario! ¿Tienes alguna forma de compartir tu diseño? ¡Soy muy curioso!
❤️👍Marco
And you didn‘t paint it orange? 😉
Love that comment!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Yeah, we could have do that. Idea was to have a friendly color, so orange would have been good indeed!!
I like everything in this building except the gas appliance in a box with poor ventilation. You are signing your possible asphyxiation. This is not a good idea.
Thanks! And thanks for your concern as well 👍❤️. But where did you see a gas appliance? I do not use any....
Had to give up watching, music awful...
Thanks for letting me know.... What music do you like?
Complimenti, hai fatto un grande capolavoro, molto bello.
Sicuramente è una elle più belle case che ho visto.
Buone ferie.
Grazie mille!! ❤️❤️👍
You could buy a nice RV more for the same money
Thanks for sharing a different viewpoint! 👍 And you are right, but what would be the fun in that? 🤷
From one Dutchman to another-job well done! Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
😄👊 Hi Bob! Thank you! Always nice to hear, read or see another Dutch ❤️👍
Thanks for the support, perhaps we meet on the road someday!
