I liked how Dale made those shelves for canned goods, he's right it does open up the space.
Dale has a nice setup in that truck. I like the patio/lift gate.
He has some great frugal ideas.
I could move rite in I love it stay safe from Scotland
Dale shows how you can make the most of whatever you have or find. I liked his open spacious feeling home. Like a couple of other men RV'rs he has seen the advantage of utilizing the sturdy steel tool boxes. He made the comment that he didn't have the creativity talent like his mother, but I beg to differ, I think his home shows a lot of creativity. Thank you for sharing.
Dammit Dale, now you break out the good ideas... :) I really appreciate the ides for the shelves vs cabinets. Tell Grandma we said Hi! She obviously holds a special place in your heart and I think some of her creativeness did rub off on you, nice build!
Very nice build, Dale!
That homemade water filter system is awesome! The SS silverware holders are pretty cool, too.
Great job! I don't think Dale is "missing" the talent his mother has...he just has a different type of talent. :)

Amen !! He has major talent , he is a humble man. Bless him .
You and your mom is awesome, well done
yo - 7. you found another good one. thanks.
That is a very very nice lay out! It's nice to see a man with evagination no reason why our vans can't be stylish !! Bravo!!
Real nice. Did a great job fixing it up.
Well done Dale, your truck looks great and you have loaded it with great ideas. Safe travels and let your mom know she did a great job with the decoration for the truck.
Nice rig and homey. Thanks, Dale, for sharing!
Very nice Dale! Looks very comfortable - and the AC must be a bonus to have. Also just a shoutout to you personally Dale for helping out with Seven's Rental Property - I think it was a bigger help than he lets on! Nice one.... Happy travels. Ciao.
Love the build out and the shout out to Mom❣️

he did a great job!
interesting rig, fitting with his T shirt REUSE! Thanks for the tour, Dale and Seven!
Well done! While I cannot see designing a van this way, he made excellent use and placement of all the random things acquired to build it. Nothing wasted. Economical. Everything seems to work well together. No need to buy a $3000 rv appliance when a $100 item does the job just fine. Great job Dale !
Very nice build, getting some great ideas.
Good morning Seven! Thank you for sharing Dale's Box Truck! What a great home he has made! Got some great ideas! What a blessing to have him help too! You guys take care! Enjoy the day! Savor the moments! God bless!
Great build,Dale. Ocala,.Florida here.
Perfectly built 👍🏾
Nice job Dale all the comforts of home.☮️❤️🤗
Dale has done a wonderful build...nice!
Very nice rolling home, Dale...thanks, Seven! :-)

Dale did a great job
Great setup he has .I like the shelf ideas .I have been struggling with storage ideas in my box truck .I like the open easy access of the shelves. I found the standard size plastic Plano ammo boxes to be very usefull .They hold all kinds of items like small tools , vitamins , shave gear and they stack and have a handle so I just grab a box which I have all labeled and get things I need .They are good for on the road also for a few things I need in the cab.
Great build. Thanks for sharing Dale!
Nice home Dale. I love the windows, and how bright it is inside.
What a great little home! Cozy, comfortable and very well thought out. Love all of the creative, money saving ideas...like the Berkey etc :-) Fantastic job Dale! Love your mom's artwork... Beautiful! Thank you Seven for another awesome interview and video!!!
Dale - yours is one of my very favorite van or truck builds - very well thought out. & I love your mom's art!
Yay Dale! Great job. I love all the things you put up to remind you of home, your friends and your mama. It’s definitely a home 💜
i love it ! its simple yet roomy with everything you need without feeling over cluttered.
I really like Dale's layout. Fantastic tour.
That is a great build it works and hello Dale 🇨🇦
Love the ready made shower stall, woo hoo!! Never knew you could do that. Beats the pricey RV store versions. Also love the artwork from his mom, what lovely ways to keep feathers! The simplicity of his design shows a zen mind for what is necessary and no extra junk. The lack of overhead cabinets does give a very roomy feel, which is lovely. A home must be lovely and inviting and cozy and Dale has done just that. All that is missing is a wood stove and a dog next to it!
I love the art by his mother! And so nice to know that she is very active yet! Yes, I like the box truck very much, he is a good, talented man! LOL Judie
This is perfect and very well done and I really like that you can go from the cab right into the back and it's roomy but the fridge seems like it would be alot of weight that's unnecessary but if it's OK then he's got plenty of room and has everything you need to live full-time.
Well thought out and executed Dale is living the dream !
Nice build, I love Dales quilt reminds me of my sister she makes them.
I loved the simplicity and well thought out design of his truck. His Mother’s art is heart warming.
I was lucky to meet Dale earlier this year. Very nice guy. Glad to see he's doing well.
He's done a great job on this box truck. Gives me hope that I can one day turn my dad's box truck into a tiny mobile home!!

Thoughtful & generous is what I think of about Dale. He seems like a good buddy to me..
Thumbs up for the homemade berkey!
Resourceful man! Liked his rig and the tour.
Oh, I love his box truck!! Very cool, Dale!
Very nice box truck.... and wow dale is such a great guy. Thanks dale for helping seven out in his time of need
Love his Burkee knock off. I've seen a few now, but his manages to still have some style. 👍
I love how he reused and kept it open without all the upper cabinets. Great Job!!
Dale's build out is great, It is well planned and finely executed Has all the comfort of home. Congratulations Dale.

That space in Los Angeles is $1500 per month rent when in a building.
Dale's box truck is fantastic. Especially like his shower and instant hot water heater setup. Thanks for sharing your talents with us Dale. Ray in Boise
Great home. I like the reuse items.
Really nice rig.
Nice rig. Love the hurricane stove, I’m surprised you don’t see them in more builds. And the water filter is cool too. Thanks for the tour.

There is a reason for that. Those burners are at 60,000 BTU instead of 5000 - 9000 BTU typical for RVs. Not meant for indoors they are too hot and can burn your van down.
I loved Dale's truck.It just shows you can make a home out of anything and it doesn"t have to be massive.The layout is perfect,.Great job Dalle and you. still has room to move around in the truck
Dale's van is very well put together! Good space utilization.
Dale did a great job converting the truck! It's beautiful and seems to have most everything. Love his shirt! Reuse was his motto for the build and it's brilliant.
Wow !! Dale's got some really great ideas there for functionality .
Excellent build.I COULD easily spend the rest of my traveling days in there. I'm 70!
Dale is a very handy man, for sure.
This is my favorite one ever. It’s so real. So down to earth. He’s just bought stuff. Not had it all custom made. I adore it. Homey. And not wasteful hanging new stuff built. Bravo.
I like how he put a doorway to the cab. It will make it easier to get to the driver's section or living area, without having to climb in and out of the van. This man thought of everything. 🙂
Dale how creative ,love your van. The shelves are great. Of course the quilt caught my eye beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Seven thank Dale for the tour of his box truck, love what he did with it, be safe traveling, love ya
Thanks Dale for a great tour, many magnificent ideas. I will copy some of them. Thanks for helping Seven, you are a great guy!
Very nice setup... Esp. considering repurposing/budget. Shout-out to Mom was great dude.
It's always interesting to see how other people make their "home on the road." Thanks for sharing Seven... Cheryl in New Mexico
Great build out on your box truck Dale! Lots of great ideas and do it your self tips. Looks like everything you need to live comfortably on the road. Thanks for the video Seven!
That is a great box truck for sure thank you to Dale for sharing it with us.
Polk Counties finest. Lakeland's home for me too. Thanks for sharing.
Great video---- Loved his truck --all the comforts of home on a budget--- Glad he was able to help you with repairs -- now that is a good friend
That's a nice little setup very cool the way he set it all up on the inside very practical thanks to him and thank you for making the video
Love the homemade water filter system.
Awe Happy belated birthday to his mom🤗💕🤗 love the set up you did👌👌👌👌
Nice set up Dale has and what great ideas for reusing / repurposing 👍🏼✅
I like it. Cosy and comfortable everything you need without spending a hundred grand. Well done 👍
Great job on the conversion! Thanks for sharing
He did a great job.
Absolutely Awesome Dale! Excellent box truck built and tour. You are a natural in front of the camera. Thank you for all the valuable rental property help that you provided for Seven. You are a very generous man and you will be blessed in return.
Reviewing June 14th 2019. It never ceases to amaze me, on these homemade builds for camping and permanent living. This gentleman has put a lot of thought into his little home. It's quite functional. I'm giving you a thumbs-up on the video and the thumbs-up to the gentleman for the build. I went ahead and subscribe to your channel because I happen to enjoy these types of videos. I do own a Jayco flight 145rb for camping only. From Los Angeles. Good day👍

Mr Hahn, I live in LA as well, Long Beach but ya man those trailers will get you out there camping. Its a great thing, you should continue along that path of camping its a great experience for everyone, some of my best memories with friends and family are camping, they are irreplaceable.
You give me hope I can live like this in the nearby future.
Lookin great, Dale ! You're tempting me . . . becoming 'a Nomad.' You've made it almost simplistic, in its' construction !
Great idea about the Burkee!
Enjoyed this video bro, Dale has made a great job of his van without the expense of expensive furnishings and fittings. All the best
Thank you for the tour Seven and Dale for sharing his home on wheels. I'm especially interested in the process of opening the cab to the box because access to the box would be essential for me if I chose the box truck route.

On my truck the back wall of the truck and the box are one in the same so you can cut any size opening you like.

@@DaleBetzandtheSlackerBus Oh my goodness you were lucky. All the ones I been looking at have separate truck cab and I been wondering how I'd boot the connection so that it would flex with movement.
Love the simplicity of this truck!
What a cool build! I haven't seen too many box truck tours this was great! Love Dale, I have seen him on other channels ALWAYS helping out. Great friend to have!
Great job Dale. To each his own, but you're correct in that upper cabinetry does visually narrow the openness of your space. Everything is neat and organized and the stock pot idea was a real winner. Happy Trails.
Very simple and organized
WOW, Dale. You are truly a Renaissance man. Skilled in every trade imaginable and also have the eye of an artist. Beautiful job.
Really nice! I like the way Dale fit full size appliances in his box truck home Very roomy and homey!
Love the reuse attitude. Well done. We all need to do this so much more.
Love the way you repurposed things. Keep it cheap and simple!
This is well put together one of the best..😍
I've seen a lot of these box truck builds. This is the most comfortable and creative build I have seen yet. Love the shirt too!
That's what I was thinking, I'm just too tall, but perfect for Dale. I really like what he did with it, seems like a cool dude.
Awesome to see how people build their box truck different than I did

From one Dale to another - great build! I like the fact that you recycled instead of buying new - like you, I am frugal - often to the frustration of my wife, who believes we have a magical money tree in the back yard!
The homemade Berkey is genius.
