for fucking real. I see so many builds that people with children have for full time and they don't even have a shower or toilet. And they post videos practically demanding praise for their half-assed builds when an extra 500-1000 could've gotten them a toilet and outdoor shower system at the very minimum.

Funny. I have always said, i build my RV and house around the bathroom first and then the kitchen. A very simple and wise concept.

It is the THRONE ROOM, it should REGAL !!! lol

So I'm not the only one!

i used to work with a guy that used to build rv's, and he told me that you wouldnt want to buy one that was built on a friday before quitting time..he said everyone is in a hurry to get off work and mistakes and cover ups are made.

Yeah nothing like bringing your whole house with you except your house doesn't fit in a campground

*people

@@nedcassley5169 🤦🏽‍♀️

@@yardsausage how is one going to know that an rv was built on a Friday? Lol

@T DoubleU 8

I have been wanting to do something like this for many years now. I agree with pretty much everything that he said with regards to planning and equipping a box truck as a heavy duty RV. I would not make all of the same design choices, of course - but this was pretty much his point. Design it to work for you. Excellent video and presentation.

thankyou very much for your comment and yes was made to meet our needs for the business if for personal we would have done a couple things different thanks again cheers

thank you cheers

You Sir, are a gentleman!

thank you I am so glad you liked it and feel free to reach out if you have any questions cheers

you may consider that all of the US has CDL and commercial vehicle laws regarding these types of vehicles. but no one on youtube ever seems to address that fact when doing these conversions. anything with a GCWR over 25,001 lbs requires a commercial driver license and most insurers will run this VIN and force you to have commercial auto insurance which costs 10 times as much as non commercial. You also need not for hire stickers to keep DOT off you at each weigh station passing. All these stealth builds come at a price, and a headache. will your build surpass the weight limits for CDL? likely not, but it won't prevent you from being eyed by every DOT officer out there and potential subject to testing and paperwork checks. A bus conversion seems less likely to be hassled.

Jealousy pure and simple.

its tacky

Because it’s an absolutely hideous dungeon maybe 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes this is a tiny home on wheels!

I agree, I don't want this. I prefer the box trucks. Small fuel efficient and enough for 1 or 2. This is admirable I would like windows though.

Very cool! Good for you! Bon Voyage! HA!

Would. Love to see it. Awesome

Thank you kindly!

are they expensive?

I bought mine off of FB market place for $500 . Normally at Home Depot they run about $1200. but have a 25 yr warranty.

@@georgecoffman377 home depot changes the model every couple of years the mfg co. switch around product line just as frequently and dealer product line shift frequently they also stop making a product line if the warranty market becomes over a percentage of the business. some require that only the installing dealer can claim a warranty. im basically saying that they have multiple ways of disappointing their customers. i have never seen a 25 year warranty honored. i have seen a 20 year warranty honored but it did take a very organized individual to get it.

I put on in my garage. It cost me around $700 and I forget how much I paid a plumber/electrician to install it, but it has been great. Now that I think about it, I think the unit and installation was a total of $700. I have seen units far less, but there was some option I wanted that pushed the price up a bit. Endless hot water and high gas and water bills because my teenage daughter never wants to get out.

@@ZebraFacts @George Coffman @Santiago Vasquez. How is temperature controls? I've only used these flash water heaters at the nail salons where they seemingly only have two settings: "off" and "1st degree burns"? So can you get a comfortable mix that's neither lukewarm if you ad cold water, etc? Is there a perfect setting or a happy medium? I hope I explained this well.

very open when the deck is out and it becomes a sun room

Great idea

Wow, thank you

thank you glad you liked it cheers

I thought the lack of windows and skylights to be cave like. I like a tremendous amount of natural lighting and ventilation.

Yeah, this is definitely built to be used as a "camper" and not a home.

I slept in a 8 x 12 Box Truck with a Translucent Roof for a few weeks. On Cloudy and Rainy Days and at night under a Street Light, there was so much light coming through the Roof. The bad side is they are very hot during warm weather, but that could fixed with a roll over shade cloth or solid foam board insulation temporarily placed on top .

yeah, the lack of a kitchen alone makes this a severely impractical vehicle to live out of full time

my favorite part for sure

Really well. That expediter truck is capable of holding up a lot of weight. The build in that RV conversion is nothing g compared to the weight a working expediter truck has to haul. Great idea

I appreciate that!

I saw the signage stating "this is a registered RV" but still wondered about weigh stations & the D.O.T. 'chase cars' on the highways. They do have ability 'I think' to run the licence plates & that should distinguish them. It's wrapped w/advertising as a business. Our State would question that it would need "commercial plates" because of the Business name etc... I'm assuming it's got RV Plates though. Regardless ->This is one very nicely done RV. Well done Sir! 👍😎

First off thanks for your comments. We have never been turned away but we do get (No way that's an RV I want to see it lol) Its one of my fav parts. Also we do draw a big crowed when we go to set up and I say go ahead walk in and the come out saying how awesome it is inside and all love the bathroom how big it is. now for the DOT we drive past them all the time as well as through the border and never have they stopped me and we even pull a 27' trailer behind it with a wrapped car and trailer behind it and never a problem. Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it!

very much did as well never done always thinking of ways to add to it

thanks

thank you

Before beginning that journey I would do a serious cost analysis of even the basics of what ONE of those tires cost and the work involved in changing one especially the inner rear drive tires in comparison to a regular vehicle tire along with the hourly rate of a qualified diesel mechanic. Then take a peek at the fuel and DEF consumption.
