Күн бұрынWell, the uhaul box truck isn’t quite finished but I have made a heck of a lot of progress!
Im hitting the road and pausing the build for a while so I made a tour to show you how I’ll be living and answer a lot of your questions.

SUGGESTION FOR YOUR SHOWER : Just do half walls with a hinged lid and door. That way you won't cover up your window, it will be a more open floor plan ,and it will give you extra counter space if needed.

@nomadbrad503 9 ай бұрын
I love the interior space of a 16, but honestly it’s just too big for city driving. I can park this 12’ easily in any store parking lot or public park. It’s the largest rig that fits in a standard parking space. You will have a lot of parking limitations if you go any bigger 16’ is great if you plan to be out of town in the forests or desert or camp grounds.

Great setup! If I could give you suggestion, you coule build the wet bath next to the door (in between the sink and the kitchen countertop) instead of where your plan is. Just put shower pan underneath the floor, and after you use it you can hide it using the same flooring materials. By doing the shower this way, you can use it kinda like inside-outside shower, and you can use the shower if you go to the beach without worrying sand inside the cabin. But otherwise, great job on the conversion! Love the clean setup!
