After doing van life for 6 months, moving to Maine, and selling Basil the Box Truck (our first conversion), we decided to reinvest the money into a new build! This is a 2012 Chevy Express Box Truck that we recently finished converting. We successfully made the trip from Maine to San Diego where we sold it!
The box truck is SOLD!!!!
Products we used and recommend:
Renogy 60amp DC to DC battery charger: amzn.to/3nmmhN9
Renogy 3000-watt Inverter charger: amzn.to/421kvAm
Renogy 12v 100ah Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery: amzn.to/3HxEzSy

Nautilus Shower Door: amzn.to/42dKXqB
Induction Stove: amzn.to/44qCVvZ

Wiring: amzn.to/3npaQV2
We are doing custom builds now, so if you have dreamed of doing van life, bring us an empty vehicle and we will build it out of our shop in Maine!
Much love folks :)

Really nice build you both must be very proud. Watched a couple of box van conversions your was the first to have that murphy bed which for me would of been an important must. Best wishes from London wished I'd done this when I was younger, good luck to you both.

It looks so good you guys! Well done 👍🏼 It’s beautiful, functional and has everything you need. We agree you have to have a shower and toilet! Having the bed on a lift is so convenient, the toilet looks so simple and easy to remove, all the switches are accessible so that’s really nice! Love love love! 💕

I would only add 3 WINDOWS (2 in kitchen, 1 in dinette area) and a big skylight on kitchen ceiling! Natural light makes all the difference in the world, showing you beautiful views on all sides at all time, and letting in direct sunlight. Best medicine for any depression and sadness!!! 👍👍 This would make the inside a much brighter, lighter, wider and happier place! And also I would paint all the cabinets light beige. And have the shower a light color too. Hopefully, the new owners have done that, and are now happy and joyful in their mobile home! 😊🤗

I prefer no windows for the stealth factor. Hopefully the new owners left it as is. If I want a view of outside I will go outside.

This is the perfect build! I am ready to take the leap into mobile life and I like all the room you get in a box truck. As I was watching your video I was thinking "how could I do this... I have no access to tools or even space to do a build-out???" Please tell me more about your build-out services. I would love advice even in purchasing a box truck. Looking forward to connecting on this!

I really liked both of your box trucks (this one and Basel). Which one did you prefer? - Was it better to have the larger truck or the smaller one? Larger gives you more space for stuff & to move around inside. Smaller gives you more maneuverability & savings(gas, insurance, maintenance, etc). What seemed to be more important for you guys? If you could pick out the exact box truck size, what size would you choose? Thanks,

@harryandlyss Жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late response. We preferred the newer one better! More agile and everything was in better shape.

@InspektoraDeFrutas. Жыл бұрын

They preferred neither! 😂 Sold them both and went back to being stationary in a house on a permanent basis. I feel them. Mobile living 24/7/365 is by far not for everyone. I will venture though! PS. It is good to have a solid stationary home to come back to though. 👍 Priceless!

Great build guys. The van is laid out great. You fit so much in such a tiny space. Did the box come with the cutaway or did you have to find the box and install it on the van?

It’s not made from toxic materials that are bad for the Earth. It’s made from linseed oil, pine resin, cork dust, and saw dust which makes it completely biodegradable.
