at 2:10, already impressed.you can park this rig anywhere for as long as you want because on the outside its a working truck.get a pair of MOBY L.L.C. decals for the sides and you are officially a traveling worker. i learned a long time ago that if you look subtly official no one will question you. the more i see the more i like.

That bed on a winch is a true masterstroke. The fact that the bed winches up out of the way is truly brilliant as you can leave your bed as a bed with minimal effort - without adding height to the truck - and have a space where you can hang out AND have as bed with a high ceiling... When I did campers in New Zealand, the bed always bothered me... THIS is a great idea.

I’m impressed with your ability to design and mitigate issues, like the vented kitty litter cubby with the composting toilet.

So she is pretty much self contained. Wow that is an awesome repurpose for a retired tool truck.😊😊😊

I really like the original features like the back gate lift . You did some really good craftsmanship in there. Nice!

Great job with the space. Makes me kick myself for getting rid of a 24 x 8 x 8 car carrier trailer I had two years ago, dang it. A+

Best use of a truck conversion. You don't know how many people have way more space than you and didn't even bother to put a bathroom. I also love how you did the hangout / bedroom. I wish you and your kitty many happy and safe travels

Just starting a 12 x 7 mini schoolie. Your conversion has Texas in mind. My turf.

I've seen dozens of van build outs. Yours is at the top of design and engineering. I like the fact you don't get carried away with the aesthetics. You've covered all the basics and took it a step further with the electrical elements. Bravo!

INCREDIBLE! One of the best wet heads I've seen. Also I love the litter box solution!

Back in the Great Depression, such vehicles were called "Hoover wagons." This one is much more elaborate than any back then. I like the relative simplicity over the fancy motor homes with all the gadgets and extras to go wrong.

Love that the litter box is vented outside! Very clever! next video show the kitty! But I have to agree with the guy that suggested a CO2 alarm...had a cousin that died at 45 from CO2 poisoning in his corndog trailer. He was a master at using space and inventing things like you!...I miss him, and we don't want to miss you!.

I just bought me an old UHaul 6x10 truck and your videos will come in handy! Thanks for having them!

little tip about the water heater, I found in my popup was that i could just leave the pilot light on and have plenty of hotwater for showering if I was conservitive with my water. the pilot was enough to keep the whole tank hot.. and used way less fuel than having it where the burner would come on during the use.

WOW what a sweet setup, I'll bet you had a blast building it, that's the one thing people who get a buy and drive camper will never know, the joy of building your own, its not the destination but the journey getting there

Who ever gave thumbs down should be ashamed . This man is brilliant and applaud is hard working efforts to design a small home that is completely self sufficient and cozy might I add(but u could use a woman’s touch) and I am very impressed hands down ! I envy ur dedication ! 😉

This is a magnificent rig, you've imagineered! Awesome, man...Really great work!

Well done...you are a 'jack of all trades' and master of many skills. Especially liked the raise and lowered lofted bed idea.

Pretty Awesome build on the truck years ago my old company bought the same truck to use for delivering cabinets and custom Woodworking to jobs mostly in Washinton DC metro area i used to drive it often when we were short handed and i always loved that cab over turning Radius and the comfort of the cabin the only negative i had about the truc was the Isuzu diesel motors were known to self destruct around 175 thousand miles needing a new motor and it was nearly impossible to find a good used one so we wound up selling the truck off for around scrap value i also liked the adaption of the window unit years ago i did something similar for a boat my main objective was to not have the ugly unit hanging out the side of the boat i actually had the interior vents and trunk line disguised as cabinetry that matched the galley cabinets and also quieted the system down quite a bit ! I am a retired Woodworker that has owned and worked on many vessels over my life as that is one of my passions also so ive done a little hands on in many of the trades and have a wide amount of abilities similar to what you must have to do all the wor to the box truck another note i like on your conversion is the “ Stealth” look the truck has from the exterior

Wow, I’m a retired electrical and software engineer that loves to tinker and wants to start camping and your build is amazing! Using a small box truck makes so much sense,

Nice build. May I suggest you install a 10€ CO detector in case your fireplace malfunction... CO2 poisoning is insidious and odorless... you just loose consciousness and never wake up. Kitty is lucky to travel with you Cheers from France

You mean CO not CO2? You should be worried about carbon monoxide, not carbon dioxide. The former goes unnoticed till you die of what is essentially hypoxia, the alter is VERY noticeable by your body and is actually very painful.

I've seen a lot of videos and Instagrams of these converted vans, buses, and trucks and yours is the best I've seen by far. Usually I see a video and I think of how I would do it better but with yours I was thinking jeez I'm not sure I could match that. Kudos. Enjoy your travels.

Totally. I've camped in trailers with my folks my whole life, and lived on a boat for 2 years, and am a cabinet designer by trade and I can't see one thing that could be improved upon. The only minor thing I'd suggest is a skid plate to protect the grey water tank. Where it's located it is very susceptible to stones kicked up from the road......

Well, Moby you have a brand new truck fully packed with lots of room nice compartments fully equipped really nice plus outside...a deal...

I like how Life Support is located towards the front of the home. Helps to keep damage from vibrations to a minimum. Lots of people mount all that to the back and they don't realize how much the back end of the home bounces while driving.

Absolutely genius!!! Your place is nicer than many micro apartments❤️❤️❤️

Well thought out .Amazing build! Great job!

Best build yet on the net ! a 1 and a half apartment on wheels !! Well done Sir !!!

Wow!! You are so talented!! That truck is really a small house! Awesome job!!

Love the way you've gone for pure utility, function and stealth. Great mobile home.

I'm watching this and I'm amazed how you were able to figure out how everything electrical needed to be done. I'd never figure it out 😂

This is so awesome! I used to have a 1-ton Dodge Tradesman van... I called Moby Van. Not quite as large as this lol! But this is beautiful. Where is the kitty! Love that you travel with a cat.... :)

Nice job, one of the first times I've seen a conversion done correctly as far as the electrical goes. Most people don't do it right and use undersized wiring.

That's just an absolutely amazing job. Thank you for sharing the journey with us so we can see how everything worked out.

outstanding craftsmanship, excellent use of space.... well done!

Great build. One of the best I’ve seen. You are a handy guy to do a lot of it yourself. If you ever want to for not a lot of money, you could replace your 5k BTU a/c with at least a six or better yet, 8k BTU unit. It would cool the whole RV down way better. IMHO. Enjoy your travels and stay safe!

I enjoyed watching this, but I wanted to see kitty cat.... LOL Kept waiting and waiting!!! You did a great job on this, your carpentry skills very very nice!!! You sound like you could build anything!!! Great job, enjoy life Sir....

That is a very, very nice build. It's obvious a lot of planning and engineering went into the build. And, there certainly is a lot of room inside. Not to mention that ingenious "patio". Well done.

Wonderful build. I approve of all of your modifications. The bed arrangement is an idea I will empliment in my box truck also. Great space-saving idea. I will use a cassette toilet, personal choice. Also, I intend to use fluid running in the floor to heat my space. I'll use a split unit air conditioner. DC lights all around. Great job. Love your ideas.

Excellent RV build Brian. Well planned, creative install !

great-Great-GREAT !!! build … you have addressed all issues of self-sustainment and hook-up to the highest standard … like+ the under-body a/c with box pre-cooling by driving. Your professional cabinetry and wiring shows great talent and attention to detail. Every-shape-size-type of vehicle provides for unique challenges. You are clearly ready to build your own 4WD Expedition Vehicle. Genius. I have a serious streak of envy as I fumble around working on my build; goal: to your standards.

I love speeding up videos where they are explaining and showing stuff. 1.5 times is what I normally do. I can learn/listen to more info per day like this. Awesome build, man!

Hi from all us vanners in New Zealand, Love your truck well done, will follow your channel, William

Excellent build Brian. Thanks for the tour and the information.

WOW, you are incredibly talented! I am a tradesman who owns an RV myself, and can appreciate a lot of what you have done. Could not do half of what you have done here though, your skill set is a amazing. I don't use the word lightly, but again... WOW!

Very nice box truck Camper! Great job!

Awesome someone who has a cat! Once I get going I plan to have my two cats so love the idea for the litter box a lot

What a great build. Thank you for sharing.

Love it man, what I most like is you did it and made it work. Thank you for the inspiration. Enjoy. Cheers

His strong point is the engineering and the technical build his weakness is a comfortable design. The interior has no aesthetic and looked hard and uncomfortable. I'm not trying to be overly critical I can appreciate all the work and engineering in this build and recognize his true talent. I also realize function definitely takes precedent over form in a vehicle like this and I enjoyed this video. Thumbs up from me

A well thought out and executed design.....

That's a good looking breaker panel. Nice job.

Beyond impressive, but no means possible by the average Joe...... this guy has skills/training in a bunch of areas, welding, carpentry, engineering, electrical, fiberglass work, plumbing, etc.........good for him.

Awesome home. I loved the tour!

A very beautiful home.. thanks for sharing 🤗

A really solid build. I admire your creativity / engenuity! So many ideas that I want to borrow.

What an incredible build. You have thought of everything. Thank you for sharing all the great ideas.

I've never thought about converting a box truck, but that is a great idea

Hey Brian… I came to the same conclusion when it came to the choice of my RV Conversion. Since I will be the mechanic I needed to be able to get to the engine when the truck breaks. The cab over was a no brainer. I bought a 2009 Isuzu NPR 5.2L Diesel (no emissions) cab over with at 16 ft. box. I have a 2000 lb. tuck away lift in back. The rear lift will carry my motorcycle. I will place the bed at the front of the box near the cab. I thought about the lifting bed but decided on a fixed queen ( 60”x 80”) bed high enough to allow for a dinette below. The upper bed area will have almost 18 ft. of wrap around cabinets (12”x12”). A dinette below the bed will accommodate 5 people. The center seat of the dinette will collapse to allow a passage way into the cab from the box. The center of this 60” x 90” dinette will have a work station desk. I will place two opening lids on the table and mount monitors inside on both sides. This will give me two computer desks. The desk will also drop to the floor to create a second queen bed. At the rear I will have a one piece 32”x 32” fiberglass shower stall from Home Depot. Another great feature of the truck was the space between the chassis below the floor. (27” between the two chassis frames) . I plan to create floor doors to access the space below. I can get 16 ft. long x 27 inches wide by 9 inches deep cavity below by lifting the box off the chassis and slipping a steel plate between the box and the frame. . I will lose some of this space as I am planning to drop a water tank in the chassis at the end by the lift. A third reason for this truck was I plan to build a roof deck 8 ft. wide x 16 ft. long. I believe the galvanized wall struts can be braces enough to carry several people on the deck. On the deck I will have rails that will collapse and drop down flat on the roof. These will raise and lock into each other at the corners. Build into the rails will be two more legs that will fold out as you raise the rails and create a bench and the supporting legs. Finally one day solar panels will be installed on the rails and will also lay flat while traveling but will rotate to capture the sun when camped. Brian I have only had the truck 3 weeks so I am still measuring and re-measuring. I would like to speak to you more about your build experience. I am looking for advice on different brands and models of fans, (I like the Max fan) A/C units ( I need a quite 15000 BTU unit with multiple fans speeds) , compost toilet, good brand 3 burner gas cooktop ( saw one with a 4th electric burner but not available in the US) , good propane heater, Inverter, batteries , Etc.. Great job! Best of luck! Drop me a line when you can Gary Flyinginovations@gmail.com

Gary Grimes sounds like quite the plan! I don't know anything about RV AC units tbh other than they all pull too much power for my setup. I suggest using graph paper to map everything out to scale. That's what I did

This is pretty cool. It's the neater aspects of vandwelling and tiny houses. I'll have to keep this in mind when I get to having my own place on wheels.

Wow! You have done so much with it since I saw it. Amazing work!

That is the coolest kitty litter box space ever made. Respect.

Absolutely drooling over this! Good for you man! I would enjoy the hell out of this! My set up has to be much larger due to wife and 2 dogs and 2 cats. I know it's crazy but everyone's coming when we go. Have fun and safe travels!

Smart to use regular sized propane tanks, so easy to exchange if needed!

I like it! And I see you have your little companion with you...My little guys would love it

Very well thought out build. Totally functional. When time comes I build my own RV from a truck, This size of truck would be perfect. I want functional as well, but also want creature comforts. This video tour gives me lots of great ideas. Thank You Brian!!!!

I have viewed many videos on Industrial truck conversions and I must say this is by far one of if not the best I have ever seen ! you have everything needed, you didn't skimp on the bathroom like some people do for space, this is a great idea by using a tool truck versus just a box truck, kudos to you , I know now when it comes time for me to sell everything and make the switch I'm going to follow your example., thank you so much and best of luck to you

Sweet I found you! I didn't realize it was only 4 months ago that I watched this either. I'd been thinking about the guy with the truck conversion that had a spot for the kitty litter that vented outside. Definitely been looking for RV's that had a spot where I could put a litter box and have it vent outside.

Nice build man those things drive nice I and you made it look good inside

Just found this video. It was nice to meet you in Coltery Bay. Safe travels.

Thank you for such a thorough walk-through of your gem of a wheel'd home. Its amazing. I'll be checking out your other videos for ideas of building my own. Safe travels to you.

Great job! Enjoyed your video. Thank You For Sharing!

Well done, you have MAD skills. More than a little jealous.

That rig is bad ass! Bringing the Kawasaki is a rad idea!! 😁🤙

Very nice build with ample space. LOVE the lifted bed and tailgate deck space!

Watched a lot of these videos now and for the first time I see one that I really could be comfortable living in. You completely nailed it. You got everything for maximum comfort and minimum effort. If the world ends, you'll be just fine.

quite creative and great design, good use of space.

Very impressive. Ditto on other comments. Designing genius. I've seen the bed on a winch/pulleys on a few different videos around. I like that idea. Bed up and out of way. Good way to use the space above.

Wow nice rig… happy trails❤️

Hey mate, just found this video. Very impressed, I've been looking around for ages and you are one of few people I have seen with a real ability to build great devices and ideas into your truck with obviously a lot of skill and knowledge behind you.

Very nice build. I'm always impressed when a bathroom is added.

If you buy the Engel freezer and a Norcold fridge you'll be set. The Engle is very quite, the Norcold is super easy on electrical. I set my sailboat up this was for our years of cruising. A fold down wind gen would be a great addition for added juice when cloudy, as long as you have wind. Dometic Ac on the roof. Great job!

Well done and thanks for the tour, gave me a few ideas....
