    Here is a perfect example of how versatile the box truck conversion is. This is a fantastic Tiny House On Wheels!

      It totally is awesome. I have a friend Brian that is dying to get one of these. He's been living in the woods since his girlfriend left him last week. But he's got a ton of dirty laundry to wash. Can he outfit a smaller washing machine in there? Something good enough to deal with stubborn blood stains on linens?

    Very nice little home! They have everything they need INCLUDING a bathroom!!! The space seems very functional and doesn't seem cramped or claustrophobic at all. They even have a CLOSET!!! I love what they were able to do with such a small space. Happy traveling!!!

    Put drawers in the shoe box so you can separate & find particular shoes easier. Even better is a half drop shoe shelf, I don’t know what else to call it. Put the box on a swivel so you can use 2sides of the box for shoes, making better use of space & accessibility.

    I think I would do this design with some tweaks to make it mostly electric. Hybrid van, fewer interior materials, underfloor heating, bamboo flooring, foldable small sywtch bike, hand-cranked wonderwash for off grid laundry; electric oven; composting toilet, flexible folding solar panels. Lithium batteries. Murphy bed to fold over seating area. Self-drying door for shower. Strong extractor fan. Bin for laundry and space for trash can.

    I keep getting links to van/ box truck builds and I like the stealth ones the best as they can be parked most anywhere, however yours is pretty close to that, and about the best, complex build I have seen! I don't know whether you got your ideas from your friend, TH-cam, books, or just experience. I love all the lighting options! I am 75 and now enjoying what others do with sailing the world and "seeing" new places, and building stuff.
    I built a more complete than most "hippy van" in my 20s, and have messed with boats over the years, but now have an Air 2 and new Mavic 3 that I travel and camp with.

    Really nice build! Lots of nice touches & it seems spacious, not cramped -- largely due to the elevated bed. I love that you used Marmoleum for the flooring. It's a great, easy care product, and I'm surprised that more van builds aren't using it. You did a great job. Hope it serves you well on your journeys! 🌟☮

    What a nice box truck conversion! It looks simple and minimalistic. Great with the barn like doors in the back to open up the inside and bring the outside in when parked at a beach or some other place with an extraordinary view. Not to forget the elevating bed to save space and the door to the cab area. However I would probably build a sliding door to the toilet and still use the toilet in a more traditional way and use a bag. But all together a great build!

We need two separate sleeping areas as well as at least one desk. Having a drop down bed/murphy bed and convertible furniture gives you so much more space and utility. Your entire rig is fabulous. Great job.
