Wow he did a great job on building out his home. One of the nicer ones I've seen. Loved his kitchen how he made those cabinets. Really impressed. Nice job young man you've got some skills. Chris from Missouri
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too short of a video. Would have loved to see more of his stuff, the bed in motion. And any more innovations he has. Loved the way he went about things. Thinking outside the box on materials that have purposes, but he made work for his needs! AWESOME!
I loved the idea of the lift being used as a deck. I would totally use that! Would have loved to see the bed raised/lowered and a bit more on the storage he was talking about "under the bed". Kitchen looked like a very good use of space as well.
I have previously ruled out a tool truck BECAUSE of the lift gate. Now I'm re-thinking...Thanks for the creative ideas-is there a way to contact the builder for more details? That elevator bed is unique
I'm seriously in love with this box truck. Awesome so much came with it, and when the ramp is up the ladder is concealed, perfect for stealth and safety. Thanks for the tour! Made my day
I am always amazed when I see some of these DIY builds of tiny homes and campers. It makes me think... What am I doing with my life?!?!?! LOL. Even more than that, I am amazed by the people who build them; by that I mean their willingness to go against the grain of society and just roam around the Country camping and traveling.
Hi BCB, pleased take a look at my design and let me know what you think. Pls also subscribe and share and help me get the word out. I hope one they I start manufacturing them.
Awesome! More info on the remote window unit a/c. How well is it working? Another cool thing is to figure out a pass through from box to cab of truck even though it tilts…..
I like the front box fairing, so much better then a flat plate, it's probably worth 3-5 MPG at highway speeds. The weight of the bed in the up position is immaterial relative to the weight of the vehicle, center of gravity wise. The feature of being able to compensate for parked tilt is very valuable, says someone who lived full time in a similar rig back in the '70's. The space it frees up for day time is also very valuable, plus he doesn't have to make the bed, just raise it so no one can see! The cat box is great also.
Lot's of ingenuity going on. Filming looks fine to me. A final pan of the entirety from an open back would have been nice however the focus seems to stay on point with the clever build.
Very nice indeed. Thanks for the video helps to give me some ideas towards my ultimate goal. Which is to have a fully self-contained RV. Currently have a minivan that I've been living in for about a year and a half. But my goal is well I should say my goal has somewhat fluctuated. In general is the same fully self-contained but how I want to do that very soon it's really a good thing because it's giving me or gives me the opportunity to decide what really is going to work best for me. And I'm so blessed in that I know how to build so that certainly helps. again thank you for taking the time to create this video and share it with the populous. Rick from Fort Worth Texas

Great ingenuity! I am about to embark on a build. No where near as young as you so it'll be a challenge, however, my drive to to completion will be met! I've been really considering a elevator bed because I want to ramp in an ATV and small motorcycle while I'm traveling. This is a great plan, and build you've cme up with here! If you ever have an inkling to help an old guy out, and see Rhode Island, I'd certainly provide all you'd need!
Best wishes for your plans! I'm on the other side of young too, and I'm itching to find something suitable so I can just get up and go. As long as I can find waterways to paint, my little dogs are happy, then I'll be happy happy too!
Those are 20 lb propane cylinders. However, if you are purchasing those cylinders prefilled from a convenient store or gas station, etc. they contain 15 lbs of propane. This will be noted on the label. Do whatever you can to have the cylinders filled at a fill station. You will pay less and actually get 20 lbs of propane. Nice video.
Hey great bed! I've been seeing more and more of these and am very interested in your set up. Seems a lot more cost effective than the 2K Happi-Jacs. Please share details on what you used.
Yes, can you post specific details of how you made the elevator bed and links to all the parts used? This is awesome! I’d love to put one in my converted shuttle bus!
Cool truck! I like the battery tray but please tell him to lock up the batteries. I have a similar set-up & they stole the batteries right off the truck & all the trucks in the area. Luckily my batteries were older at the time but these batt's are approx. $100+ each & it's a pita that no one needs right now.
Nice build but it would’ve been good if you’d panned around more to see the layout .... didn’t really see what was under the bed either ... I’ve always loved elevator beds :)
I am thinking about trying the vanlife thing in Europe. I prefer a box over a normal van. Lovely conversion. I would move in instantly and dump my flat if i had something like this.
@@Mr-Curious Ahh nice! Thanks for replying. Your obviously still keen to make it a full time way of life. Good luck with it all! I bought a box van a couple of weeks ago and am totally overwhelmed with talk of inverters, leisure batteries, split charge...12v, insulation....🤯 I want to skip ahead to decorating and soft furnishings 🤣
Seven, can you ask these folks how they travel w animals, especially cats? what do they do w them when leaving their rigs to shop or day hike or even visit a fellow camper for an evening? It would get too hot or cold to leave them in the closed unit. Right? Can you ask more specific questions to pet owners?
Getting so attracted to the guy who built it, because he's smart, handy and doing this in real life instead of dreaming about it, so it's hard to focus on what's he saying..
The significance of being 90-100% certain is realized/perfected in these types of house, less stress, plenty of features as well, hey..no worries..tornado, hurricane, sandstorm, flood, and all of those are just a vrhooom away. Power packed features makes it a sought after, since it is built on 90-100% realization, anywhere you go, its you to places. Safe and secure from all alarms, built in alarm system as well....soon...on its way..102% A+ grade. Very good to them all that are into these types of certainties, it always brings the best things in life, exemplified in places. SMEs...../../.../.../../../../../G.M Industries.
@@maureenblutekraus3561 Its actually a pause in thinking. But it was means as a constructive suggestion. It's how the professionals do it. But not every content creator care that much about those fine details.
Great tour Seven! Stay well! I'm still at my homebase in Florida and actually glad I haven't sold yet, I'd rather be here hunkered down during this pandemic especially since my 14 year old furbabies have been experiencing many life threatening conditions this year. I hope your renters are taking care of your properties in Florida during these uncertain times. I am used to preparing for hurricanes but this pandemic isn't as predictable as a hurricane unfortunately no one knows it's path or duration.
Insurance issue? So I’m doing the same with a 15’ box on an e350 but I am struggling finding a company to insure the vehicle. And if I go commercial insurance they’re requiring that I first open a business. There must be a way....PLEASE HELP 🙏
I sat and waited for him to show how the elevator bed worked, how it is made. Because the video's title is Elevator Bed in a Box Truck. But this guy didn't show it. Funny, right... :p

This boxtruck is pretty amazing! Good use of space, and the whole bed system, and a back deck. I am really leaning towards a boxtruck next

I knew he was going to be a cat dude. Nice build.

Would’ve like to see the bed on operation to demonstrate more how well it works.
Agreed: both the title and the intro highlight the elevator bed and then ... no demonstration of it. That said, terrific and creative conversion.
Exactly! We need to fire the camera person!!
I can’t stop watching these builds. I always thought buying a truck with a lift would be smart for a patio and a lift for a motorcycle

I like this box truck because its a upgrade from vanlife. The 170 extended sprinter rear space is 16 ft long.
Great ideas. Two cats will be traveling with me and I love the fan idea. Never crossed my mind to do that.
Awesome! More info on the remote window unit a/c. How well is it working? Another cool thing is to figure out a pass through from box to cab of truck even though it tilts…..
Awesome Rig, With all that solar why have propane? Induction Cook top is the way to go and half worry about leaks or blowing up!
really nice build. Very comfortable and functional.
Very cool setup. Thanks for the tour
I'm on the look out for a 13' Uhaul type truck. Easy to drive. Nice build.

I would have liked to see how he can level the bed!
INCREDIBLE! Thanks for sharing that with us. That dude's truck was rad.
The cat liiter box cabinet with side entrance is the best part of this mobile house.
8:00 so used to seeing vans with zero standing space but he has a whole area to use in there with the bed lifted it looks so big.
Great truck great build. I hope he gets security lights around his truck for extra light at night.

I was thinking to do a van conversion, but now i'm definitely going box truck instead. Very nice setup. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Really nice build. I appreciate your sharing it. Stay safe. Enjoy the journey.
this is amazing. i want to build something similar with a isuzu truck cause they are super easy to drive and navigate through cities in.
Planning to do a box truck, but I for sure prefer Murphy bed and a lot less jankey

My parents had a toy hauler from 2007 with a elevator bed. 2 full sizes actually.
Cool,creative! Giving away power.And...great shirt!!🤗
Thank you for sharing, sometimes it’s hard to stay at home all the week long because of the lockdown
Oh boy was 7 months ago you in for a ride.
With that much power you could run a small induction cook top too! Nice build out!
A great build and a super bed I´d love to learn how you rigged the cables etc.

Posted this a year ago....have you ditched the flat yet?
@@beevegan i havent ditched my flat but i am living in my van 5 days a week for the moment 😂😂. My van is too small for fulltiming in comfort.

@@beevegan Maybe we can get in touch always cool to xchange ideas and experience or brainstorm.
@@Mr-Curious Hay Brian! I'd have no clue how to do that without sharing my email publicly but I'd love to have a van buddy
Amazing build! He could make a fortune building these for other people.
Wow, very smart set up
I’ve seen a couple box truck builds now. If I ever had the time and money it would be something like this.
That is a very nice home. Very livable.
Great build , both cool guys. Maybe filmed in wide angle would do the build justice .
Or get a different person behind the camera, because I don't think this one understands much of it!
Awesome box truck thanks for sharing and as always stay safe and god bless love ya Nancy
Cool. I had this idea when thinking about building a mobile home. Didn't know it already was invented.

yo - 7 . you found another interesting one . thanks .
very nice, fantastic home away from home.
Take a shot everytime he says um/uh
I blacked out at the 1:15 mark.
MR BEAST?! Great boxtruck and videos, my guy!
Great video! Hope you are staying healthy! 💚
Love the AC unit idea
Very nice.-great idea for cat box and the elevated bed.
Very interesting buildout.
Awesome job, great guy..very original use of space..no love it so much I’m gonna steal a few ideas 😁👍
Wish he would've demonstrated the bed
Best part is the cat litter box compartment! 😄
I really would have liked to meet the cat! 😺
When he was showing the litter box the cat could be heard possible cat condo adjoining litter box
Loved the cat box idea!!!
Cool set up mate
A very nice build.
Can’t lock that propane box. Is a NFPA regulation. Sucks but gotta stay unlocked.
Nice build!
The first thing he said was about the bed. The title says "elevator bed" and he didn't even move the bed down.
Is there anyway to do a water catchment system where you can store the tanks under the truck

Question. Since motorhomes/rvs are not required to stop at truck scales. This being a box truck are you not required to stop at truck scales.??
Very innovative. Curious as to what you used for insulation.
jcfly1 insulation materials
Very creative!
awesome build!
80 degrees with air on??? Yea I'd be moving or upgrading immediately
"cody here, welcome back"
Hello thanks for sharing, did the truck come with side door?
Did you say 80,000 BTU air conditioner? You mean 8,000?
I’ve seen tiny homes with lift beds before.
I swear I've seen this tour before.
it appeared on my personal VLOG channel over a year ago
Where was this gathering? Looks very cool! Nice rig!
Use index cards so that you never have to say "umm." Other than that, your creativity is remarkable.
The ummm could be nervousness
