Army truck to tiny home overlander (the inside is gorgeous)!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Mike has spent years traveling the world in custom overlander rvs, and he has perfected the art of converting vehicles to tiny homes. This is his 3rd overlander tiny house, and it happens to be a retired military truck that he's modified into a modern and surprisingly spacious home on wheels.

Wow. I was all set to have a negative impression but was blown away with not only the amenities, but the execution, technically as well as artistically. And the layout is just as we'd do it, big kitchen, good size bathroom and desk. Only two niggling issues. I would have combined the shower and toilet into a wet bath to save space, but your execution is first class. Then the bike rack in back cuts down on exit angle. Again, a small issue and we wouldn't rock climb with our RV either. What I love most of all is the money saving ideas so tastefully done. The cab insulation for example looks OEM.

The only thing I think i wouldn’t like is that you cannot access the driver part from the back. You have to go outside. As a woman I wouldn’t like that. I’d want to be able to move if I felt unsafe and get out without having to go outside…but this vehicle just looks safe and it’s awesome and beautifully done.

Ive watched this video a couple times and it always amazes me how much nicer this thing is then the million dollar ones that I really do not understand the value of.
My wife and I had a very similar solar/Aircon setup on our last rig and just in case anyone is curious, those little window units take very little power. I picked one up at Walmart for $150 so yeah, I agree they're a great solution and if it ever fails (they rarely ever do) you can easily afford a new one and there are Walmarts everywhere. It wasn't mentioned in this video, but we could run ours on 425 watts of power, on high cold (full blast) and since we had 1,200 watts on the roof it never even drew anything from the batteries. There was enough power left over that we could also run the microwave, watch TV, etc. all day long AND keep the batteries fully charged. We didn't start tapping into that reserve battery power until a couple hours before sunset but had plenty of juice to keep powering everything in the rig until around midnight every night and still had about 20% to 25% on the batteries by morning which with lithium is still well over 12 volts but then the sun comes up and begins charging them back up. Rinse and repeat. A decent-sized solar setup with lithium batteries is one of the best investments you can possibly make with an Overlanding rig. It's expensive at first, but SO well worth it!

One of the best builds I've ever seen.
That overlander on the outside already looks good. These usually go for when done up as a motorhome, for around $500.000 USD, fully set up like this off road vehicle.
He has no Family right? Just His truck and the Roads of the world...I think you must be born for this...I would miss my Family too much... one week alone is enough for me...but this Truck is great 👍
Most impressive, and I'm in love with it. Thnx for the opportunity to see inside this magnificent self-build.
Nice kitchen, nice counter space. Love shower head. Love the antique metal tiles. Everything Awsome, just wish it was mine!
“Drive the Globe”!!! As long as the globe is in 1 country and there are no cities.
Wow hearing goo his voice before seeing his face…. I automatically heard Chris Griffin’s voice!! 😅 I can’t be the only one. And this build is incredible! Can’t imagine the time that went into this!!
Mike you did a great job in your home, I Love it!
Wow I'm impressed with this awesome home on wheels! He has good taste 😁👍
Love the truck you chose to build it on , also love the old Mercedes with trailer that’s soo cool
That was a very beautiful home. Inside, I didn’t even notice it was a truck. Lovely.
this is unbelievable, this guy have a full house inside this truck. I usually feel like the van life thing sacrifices a lot of things Im not willing to go without, but this is very impressive.
This man is so self sufficient and well suited to that vehicle and lifestyle. He did an amazing job with it. Everything he fit it into there is so perfect and beautifully appointed. I bet he could take a lot of orders if he wanted to. I love how durable his rolling house is, and it has everything. Excellent designer and engineer.
Speechless!!! What a guy & truck; super inspiring! Thank you for sharing it with us! Wonderful upload.
This build is amazing. Very capable, well organized, and looks great inside and out. Looks like he thought of everything.
