WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too short of a video. Would have loved to see more of his stuff, the bed in motion. And any more innovations he has. Loved the way he went about things. Thinking outside the box on materials that have purposes, but he made work for his needs! AWESOME!

I loved the idea of the lift being used as a deck. I would totally use that! Would have loved to see the bed raised/lowered and a bit more on the storage he was talking about "under the bed". Kitchen looked like a very good use of space as well.

I am always amazed when I see some of these DIY builds of tiny homes and campers. It makes me think... What am I doing with my life?!?!?! LOL. Even more than that, I am amazed by the people who build them; by that I mean their willingness to go against the grain of society and just roam around the Country camping and traveling.

I like the front box fairing, so much better then a flat plate, it's probably worth 3-5 MPG at highway speeds. The weight of the bed in the up position is immaterial relative to the weight of the vehicle, center of gravity wise. The feature of being able to compensate for parked tilt is very valuable, says someone who lived full time in a similar rig back in the '70's. The space it frees up for day time is also very valuable, plus he doesn't have to make the bed, just raise it so no one can see! The cat box is great also.

Very nice indeed. Thanks for the video helps to give me some ideas towards my ultimate goal. Which is to have a fully self-contained RV. Currently have a minivan that I've been living in for about a year and a half. But my goal is well I should say my goal has somewhat fluctuated. In general is the same fully self-contained but how I want to do that very soon it's really a good thing because it's giving me or gives me the opportunity to decide what really is going to work best for me. And I'm so blessed in that I know how to build so that certainly helps. again thank you for taking the time to create this video and share it with the populous. Rick from Fort Worth Texas

This could have been so much better filmed. We have no sense of the interior because there was no pan-around segment. Which could have been done without the owner in shot. Instead we had several compartmentalised breaks, which however interesting, didn't give us a sense of scale or space. When you extol aspects of something that you admire, you simply *must* show as many of them working! The tail gate, the bed, etc are what people wish to see working. The bloke himself was a nice, relaxed man who I wished had been given more scope to explain his build. I myself am a 'tall person' (6ft 6") and was particularly interested in the shower height & raised bed. Imagine my dismay when it became apparent that you can't walk underneath it without ducking, lol. The free power was a nice and selfless touch. I would add though, that if possible to include metal fencing around the tailgate that raised as the gate is lowered. I like the idea of reversing to a cluff edge and lowering the gate. But certainly NOT without fencing, lol. However, having said all that, I will say thank you to the producer for showing this box truck. 😊

Cool truck! I like the battery tray but please tell him to lock up the batteries. I have a similar set-up & they stole the batteries right off the truck & all the trucks in the area. Luckily my batteries were older at the time but these batt's are approx. $100+ each & it's a pita that no one needs right now.

Those are 20 lb propane cylinders. However, if you are purchasing those cylinders prefilled from a convenient store or gas station, etc. they contain 15 lbs of propane. This will be noted on the label. Do whatever you can to have the cylinders filled at a fill station. You will pay less and actually get 20 lbs of propane. Nice video.

Power packed features makes it a sought after, since it is built on 90-100% realization, anywhere you go, its you to places. Safe and secure from all alarms, built in alarm system as well....soon...on its way..102% A+ grade.
