WOW, that is amazing, sadly in America that would be too much of a job to get around in, I have been thinking about buying a box truck 19ft with a 10ft box to turn into a home, tired of rent prices going up all the time, one whole paycheck is just for rent and the other is bills.....legit no life when you work hard to only pay bills and always end up living paycheck to paycheck. I know the cost of building one of these will be a lot, but the money saved afterwards will be worth it, not really planning on traveling just parking somewhere local and still work.

When you do a project this big, it’s most likely for more of a stationary living space than for a nomadic lifestyle. I already have a small van that I’ve lived in and traveled in for years and this would make a really cool home base.

Beautiful conversion! I love the idea of using a box truck as opposed to a van or bus. If the vehicle portion fails, would you be able to buy a new truck and just attach your home to that? Building out a bus seems like you are committing to your home going away when the bus finally breaks down for good.
@NicoJona
@NicoJona Рік тому
Great question! In theory: yes. The box is bolted to the chassis. Ofc it’s a bit of an operation but in theory we could swap the truck out for another one or put it on a foundation and call it a house;)

You have created a gorgeous home with a lot of creative solutions for dealing with every day issues of living in a home that moves. Is the space that houses your electrical and water, etc insulated to protect them from the cold or extreme heat? If I ever went tiny I would definitely want to do something like your truck just handicap friendly (I have multiple spinal cord injuries from a car accident years ago.)

It is a climate folie which is acting as a viper barriers that is letting moisture out of the insulation is there is some in there :)

Nico and Jona, Great video and beautiful conversion. My dream is to build a similar one. Do you have any data on how much weight the total equipment is, how do you really need a 16T truck? Wouldn't it fit into a 7.5T where about 2t was the weight used?
@NicoJona
@NicoJona Рік тому
Well depends on the weight of the truck empty - ours is 8t empty and considering you have a relatively big interior and adding later things like a big water tank fully filled, diesel and a motorbike I would not consider under 12t even for us in the future 🫠

Dear Sir, A most fascinating mobile home build however I cannot help wandering if initially buying a refrigerated box lorry might have negated all the extra timber framing & insulation thus saving potentially time & money? Besides thisI think you both have done yourselves very proud of an exceedingly clean & professional project. Very well done. Kind regards.

your framing timber size, 65mm x 38mm, interestingly, is 2½inches by 1½inches Is that the finished size or the nominal size? English sizes are a bit of a scam, the timber is cut with a multi-blade saw with the blades set at the nominal size between centres, no allowance for kerf, then any planing or sanding reduces the size further but it's still sold at the same nominal size. A 2½inch nominal size timber can be 2inches when sold.
