VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to a unique journey inside "Commando 61," a 2004 Freightliner transformed into a home on wheels by Jay, an enthusiast of van life and DIY conversions. This former command center, acquired at a police auction, has been lovingly converted into a fully functional living space, complete with all the amenities of a modern home.
🚐 Touring Commando 61: Inside Jay's 2004 Freightliner Conversion
Join us as we explore every nook and cranny of Jay's impressive build. This Freightliner, a Tsunami by Forest River, has traveled over 23,000 miles and witnessed numerous transformations, turning it into the ultimate home on wheels.
🛋 The Living Room Transformation
Once a bustling command center with desks and tech equipment, the living space now features a comfortable couch, TV, and a cleverly designed Murphy bed. Discover how Jay repurposed the original structure to fit his living needs while maintaining the vehicle's unique character.
🍳 Kitchen and Cooking Space
Cooking and eating are at the heart of Jay's van life. The kitchen boasts a heavy-duty sink, a custom-made pecan Live Edge countertop, and a space-efficient preparation table. Jay's commitment to functionality without sacrificing style is evident in every detail, including a Speak Easy Appliance cabinet that doubles as potential liquor storage.
🚿 Innovative Shower and Bathroom
See how a foldable shower from Tetra van and a compact porcelain toilet cater to Jay's needs without taking up excess space. The bathroom setup is practical, yet it retains the original charm of the bus.
👕 Storage Solutions and Clothing Spaces
Jay cleverly utilizes every inch of Commando 61 for storage, turning file cabinets into clothing compartments and making the most out of the available space.
🔋 Energy and Power Systems
Equipped with a 100-gallon freshwater tank, a robust solar system, and powerful diesel generators, Commando 61 is built for long off-grid adventures. Jay highlights the vehicle's impressive power capabilities, including a unique camera system that extends up to 30 feet for extra security.
🌍 Life on the Road with Commando 61
Jay reflects on his journey from living in excess in Miami to embracing the simplicity and freedom of van life. His story is a testament to the joys of downsizing and the adventures that await when you hit the road.

This is gorgeous, and the conversion is well planned and executed. I love that it's his full-time home and that he has a piece of property to park it on as a home base. Thanks for the tour!!

Hello Jay, My name is Mark, I have lived across the street from Chris L. for 21 years. He sent me the link for this video and told me you two have worked stunts together. I put put his stunts video together for him and it seems you are in many of the clips he gave me. You did an excellent job converting a SWAT Command Center into a rolling home. Very impressed. All the best.

A unique vehicle and a great build. Love the Murphy bed and lots of open space. That camera tower is crazy. It would be good for a Starlink dish too! Great tour, thanks!

This is amazing, beautiful, so much room, and storage. My question is where is the shower, did I miss it? It's so big it has to have a shower, if not that should be a must have.

Wow, what a beautiful home thing is no shower. Wow that’ll be something that I’d have to put in with all that room anyway that’s my opinion in my opinion doesn’t matter as long as you’re having a good time. Keep it up. Enjoy your video from Australia

A former police command vehicle now a really awesome home on wheels and this is definitely a wonderful tiny house for sure thanks for another fantastic video.🇺🇲👋👋🇺🇲

I love this man. "I watched a lot of videos and a lot of people have done some beautiful stuff. So, I just kinda copied everybody!" Why do so many people have such a hard time admitting stuff like that? He just proved it is easy! Copying is flattering, and why else would everyone spend hundreds of hours watching KZfaq videos to get ideas and learn how to do something they want to do if not to copy certain aspects of what they see? Beautiful build, man! I love your personality, your style and your home! Thanks for the tour! I hope you continue to live a super happy life in that thing.

This is a beautiful home on wheels. It would be nicer if there was a washer/dryer unit like one of the young New Yorker engineers in the ambulance. This one would be a perfect house.

Well , I ❤ it, and I COMPLETELY AGREE with you about an RV. I'm 10 years older than you are, retired, and I bought an RV to retire and live in as well. Looking for some land eventually to park it on, too. I figure this is all I need for the rest of my days. I don't need a big house and I don't need a lot of stuff. I have a really nice Class A that's a Winnebago. Must admit I'm pretty impressed with your rig. Especially the equipment, ain't nobody gonna screw with you LO.L. That's one impressive set-up, and you did an excellent job. Great tour, great upgrades and you look like you're a lot of fun. 😊
