Nice build!! Wider box trucks make so much more sense than a van for DIY, straight walls and square corners.

You would think everything was square but we found out otherwise... haha

my new favorite build. Seems like it would be easy to dress up for Wasteland weekend too!

absolutely fantastic. great ingenuity and choice design features. who wouldn't want this rig.

If you are stuck in the sand and there’s nothing to tie up to winch out if you have a shovel and a spare tire dig a hole bout three four feet in the sand hook winch to spare wheel and burry the wheel and winch out I got stuck in the desert and so did two tow truck drivers and this is how they got us out

Lets gooo! Super dope. Love the channel

A gallon of water weighs 8.9 lbs. 58 gallons of freshwater capacity is about average for a mid-size 5thW. With a raised suspension, driving a rig like this on the highway, at 65 mph, while carrying a max load of water probably is not a great idea. You can do what you want, but some manufacturers, like Jayco and its liability carrier for instance, will deny warranty and insurance coverage for any accidents where its insured vehicle was carrying in excess of 25% of a full tank of water. It alters the center of gravity to such a degree, they consider the rig unsafe for the highway.

But you don't have to travel long with water. Does it make sense to compare a jayco with a skoolie or heavy duty truck

@@hmmm2564 You may be right. But, your particular insurance carrier may not agree. Unless you pay extra for a rider covering your home made or prototype RV, your rig will probably be lumped in with all other RVs. I did say a full freshwater tank "probably is not a great idea. You can do what you want." I do agree with you that if you want to have a full tank of freshwater, one should fill the tank as close as possible to your final destination. I believe Jayco has recently amended its warranty to allow for 5 gallons of freshwater. This would provide enough overnight dry camp water to brush you teeth (if you use tank water, and not bottled water for that) and wash your face. Not enough for even a military shower. This to reduce the possibility of unbaffled water sloshing about in your tank, and to reduce the possibility of water affecting the handling of your rig on the highway at 65 mph.

Great input, we always fill up close to our destination for two reasons-- safety of course and gas milage secondly. This vehicle does have an upgraded aftermarket suspension that is spec'd to the weight of the vehicle with the 58 gallons of water.

@@gtvansNice. It’s seriously one of the best builds ever 🙌🏽

are you kidding me? this is incredible

After looking at vans and tiny houses I realised quickly a van is to small and a tiny house needs land so a box truck is the perfect compomise for full time living and the best value for money platform if your smart about it. Way easier to build out and way more options because you can use regular house products in most cases and the extra roof space means a practical amount of solar so I find it a crazy choice to put fake lawn on the roof instead.

I’d like this in white, feel like the dark colors might make it hot. Also the turf on top seems cool but I’d assume that would get pretty hot as well especially in direct sunlight allday

This is, honestly, VERY GOOD.
