For me, the ideas in th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
My grandparents raised me. My Grandpa had one of those old pre fab truck bed campers and we used the heck out of it. If he’d have had the time and money, he would have done something like this. This would have been our life, if he could have talked Grandma into it. Thanks for posting.
nice!
This book is awesome! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It has loads of pictures and videos, and it shows you everything you need to know about tiny homes. It covers all the basics of a house, from plumbing to electricity. It also has some cool floor plans of some of the most popular tiny homes out there. I had a blast reading this book and learning so much. The only thing that bugged me was that the description said it had floor plans, but it didn't say how few there were.
One of the few video tours that I can watch over and over again, absolutely beautiful and well thought out project. Safe travels to you my friend.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to build something like this someday. That’s easily the coolest homemade camper/tiny house I’ve ever seen. Good job, man!
thanks!
@@TruckHouseLife I like the idea so much that I would like one to built for my truck that has a 8 ft bed on it too but if your willing to sell the plans and directions to build one like yours it be very appreciative
@@harrybobb6927 I started a camper building company making them if you're interested (so can't sell the plans;), but you could totally make your own rendition.
@@TruckHouseLife well can you sell me one of yours like it fully built that's how much I really really like your camper on your truck I have a 1998 ford f250 8ft long bed truck that I'd like to mount a cabin tiny house like yours in my bed of my truck can you call me tomorrow and talk prices of purchase one of you campers like the one you have in the bed of your truck that's fully assembled and ready to use because I don't have the tools and I don't have access to lumber to build one myself
@@harrybobb6927 shoot me an email at truckhouselife@gmail.com
This is probably the coolest tiny house I've ever seen
Thanks!
Agreed
Great neighbors
Probably?
@@TruckHouseLife I've lived off grid in Trapper Creek Alaska for 22 years now and I would love to see your talented work first hand. Just go to Trapper Creek Alaska mile115 of the Parks highway and ask around where the lady that has a peace sign☮ tattoo on her jaw(cheek). I live on the only Street that doesn't have electricity in my tiny town. I'm on Adventure Way. Scooby Doo van in front yard. Names either Kati Jo Willie or Henry Morgan. Come encourage the ol man!!!! He'd love it!!!!! Thank you!!! Dinners waiting!!!
I don't watch TH-cam videos. I see my adult kids doing it all the time, but I've never made the time -- always too busy. But today my 80-year old mom sent me a link to one of your videos. I sat down HARD -- totally entertained and enthralled! What a BLAST! Your videos hit me right where I live. Thank you so much for taking the time to film your adventure and sharing.
I Love It!! One of the best EVER, house truck with all you need. The attention to detail out and in Wonderful!!
This looks really cool, it reminds of the guy in Oregon who made a house out of a airplane. I really like it when people turn things like this into homes. You are a creative genius.
Thank you!
What hapfenned in oregonn stays in oregonne. We do not neet to know that. Twat
When a truck and a tiny house love each other very much, they get married and produce dank diesel house babies.
Yes they do
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow this camper is awesome ! When my husband and I and our kids used to go camping in the late 80s we only had a 150 Ford pick up with a topper and a foam mattress but we had the best time camping like this. So much has changed since then but I hope camping keep evolving for the next generation to come. Thank you.
Thanks!
I can’t be the only one that’s more obsessed with that truck than the actual camper 😂 I love the old body style
lol yup it's an awesome truck, just put a flatbed on.
The paint on it is amazing
I owne an old 1988 f 350 and we are trying to make a tiny cabin like that for our truck bed
Hell ya!!
I'm sure there's a few.. Just a few.
you can go to the bathroom, cook, and watch tv all at the same time!
Oh yeah...nothing like extra spices for your food.
Well ! Last time I was doing it then the rv van started shaking,kids in the van.I hate it but we both couldn't help it.
@@fikriirshade1132 best comment yet
@@fikriirshade1132 all in one 😂
You forgot getting worm as well hahaha
The best cozzy, warm and most convenient camper i ever seen in my life..good job..complete..small but spacious enough for 3 persons..wow.. amazing..
This is the very BEST camper I have ever seen! Truly amazing! Love all the wood and warm touches too!
Really awesome stuff! Cool to see someone so knowledgeable about things I have no idea of and explain things in such a simple manner. This is an awesome project.
Thank you:)
He Feels so Realistic & Practical! I love the vibes
thanks:)
Can't tell you how many times I've thought about doing this. And you pulled it off perfectly!
Love your camper log fireplace. Nothing like a fireplace to warm you up in the mountains. What a life. When I was young married with 3 kids, we camped in a used circus tent, then got a new tent, then got a new pop-up and added 2 dogs. But, I had to have a air conditioner. So perfect, we loved Mustang Island on the ocean, yellowstone, Boulder, Colorado, and went all over the country camping. 3 or 4 times a year. Traveled with camp group for awhile. Then we bought an old airstream trailer, fixed it up, but my ex left me for his mother and took the airstream before we ever took a trip in it. It sat in his parents farm yard and the rats got into it, after we fixed the thing up real cute. He was stressed as lineman, had a breakdown and retired young lives with his sister. Take care of your health and watch others, very bizarre!!! My retirement years, camping all over fizzled & I have always regretted it. Enjoy, simple is by far the best. I have had it both ways and still would pick being out in the woods by a river in a pop-up camper with my dog. Best part was making a early breakfast outside the camper. We would take all our mountain bikes and go...go..go...free as the birds and fish. Now I am old, with my dog, watching others camp, ha,ha!!! Blessings, and Happy Trails to you, until we meet again!!!
P Bayer: Love your "Now I am old, with my dog, watching others camp, ha,ha!!!"
It's true that there always are more than one way to enjoy the moments of our life.
For me, there's not any way to be considered as better than the others, let alone the best way. Only the most suitable. Wish you the most enjoyable present moment.
Ha ha love the mail box, I imagine the mail man taking the mail truck through the wilderness trying to deliver to a house that keeps moving
lol
I’ve been watching tiny house and rv videos for 10 years now. This is; by far, the best build I’ve ever seen.
Thanks!
I agree ! I've been watching for almost 8 years and this is the best one I've seen ! ♥
It's like a small sail boat inside, that's why (instead of like a house kitchen). In most campers the kitchen and bathroom takes up all the space, with 2 ft deep benches for like half the camper. They don't realise it's not enough space for a regular house kitchen. My van kitchen bench was 10" deep and ran across ways (right behind the two front seats) and so there was still heaps of seating (and bed) length behind.
@@shannonthurman5208 YES, AND THE HEAVIEST.
Its not bad for what it is, but I'm surprised you haven't seen better builds because they are definitely out there.
Unlike many homemade rigs, you gave some thought to the frontal drag driving down the highway it looks like.
Jd Brunette it’s a 4x4 designed for countryside Crawling you’re not moving fast enough for wind drag to matter at crawling speed.
Jd Brunette the front is sloped to the back, so it is better than not sloped
@@sigmacentauri6191 You can drive that at highway speeds no problem. Crawling?? Lol.
69 bronco guy - lol, yup it has a hip roof up front moves into a gable roof
70mph no problem;^)
I started to cry when I saw your truck. My dad had something similar when I was young. I haven’t seen a truck like yours in years.
awww shucks, appreciate the kind words.
@@TruckHouseLife had an amazing childhood with my dad.
I’ll be gosh darned this the most efficiently built piece of home on wheels I’ve seen to date brother! Superb job all the way down to the explanation. Put that thing in a museum! 👍👍💯
Thanks!
Gee whiz sport. You take care ya here
One of, actually no, this is the coolest truck bed camper I've seen on you tube! Absolutely amazing!
I just saw this truck driving down the Old Seward Hwy a couple weeks ago! I was surprised to see this video pop up on my feed today. Great build!
Haha yup work down there!
This is perfection on soooo many levels ❤️
I'm digging the "y rent" plate lol. Awesome build
Imagine driving this down to the beach in Florida during the summer and sitting back on your truck, drinking a beer.
Going to be doing it this summer;^), driving from AK to GA to visit family, go to overland/vanlife expos and whitewater kayaking across the USA.
Do people just stare? And is it good looks or dirty look?
@@drtec6349 Yes, pick-up trucks are great for carrying all sorts of gardening equipment. Beauty of this one is you can put the hoes, rakes, spades etc inside and keep the rain off them.
@@TruckHouseLife i live in ga too
You dont want to go to florida in the summer lol
I just moved out of Alaska after living there for 4 years and this video made me miss it so much!! :')
This is awesome! Wonderful job! Love the fireplace & cute yet practical porch!
Thanks!
This is a popular dream these days...one thing is for sure...you would never get tired of your real estate...
This guy's amazing definitely knows what he's doing
Thank goodness you found my truck and camper! We’ll need to get together so I can take it and run away! I love it and you’ve got a great eye for cozy comfort! The only thing missing is the pup!
Makes me think my 42 ft 5th wheel is too much. Anytime you want to trade for a weekend. Lol. Awesome set up and fabulous truck!! The oldies will always be goodies.
Now that looks nice and even better when you go camping etc.
Best camper I’ve seen and the couches look absolutely comfortable. Great job.
Smallest space that I think would be manageable to stay in. Well done!
Wow....absolutely gorgeous and amazing 👏 I love ❤️ this camper.
WOW! You out did yourself!! You did an AMAZING job!!!!👏👏
Thanks!
I like watching these videos for tips and pointers on customizing my own stuff. Any custom setup that serves your specific needs is a win. Everyone has different needs. I give this build a very sold A! At first I was not sold on the "wood look" but your explanation about repairs "while on the go" really makes sense! It's just good planning when you're not going to be near a place to fix something if there's an accident while on the trail or a tree falls. Just one thing though... Please... Move the paper towels further away from the propane stove? I did spot the CO2/fire detector but not the extinguisher? Just a thought (had a fire while camping once). Happy trails and be safe my friend!
Thanks! yep, I have a fire extinguisher in there, if the paper towels ever caught on fire the flames would be hitting the roof anyways;^)
Great thought and effort went into this. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. That is so well done. Everything you need and nothing you don't.
That's what I was going for;^)
Your video popped up and I checked it out for curiosity's sake. I was impressed. You did a great job on that cabin.
Thanks man!
Functional, comfortable, practical. A person or persons could have fun and interesting adventures in this! I'm envious. 😃
haha
Dude that is one awesome camper I mean my God that is a house on Wheels I love it that is so awesome you did one hell of a job you should be so proud of yourself I've never seen nothing like that that is so awesome
Tap the blue circle with the B in it and watch my updated video of my conversion camper. You will be surprised what you can do with a cargo trailer. If you like wood and log cabins check it out.
Glad you're excited about it. Not a new concept. Store bought truck bed campers (among other kinds) are not the creation of some manufacture. Customs vans, campers etc. sold in stores today are the ingenuity of the average Joe. Back before the 1980s it was common to see trailers, vans, campers etc, homemade and not store bought. Manufactures stole the concept. So, go for it and build it yourself.
@Jaime Alonzo A *doghouse* DOESN'T have TWO beds, a STOVE and a TOILET so no point in you commenting TWICE, saying it's a doghouse!😂 THOUSANDS of LIKES on this shows MANY PPL disagree.
@@JF-fx2qv Thx for sharing that bit of history. This is FIRST one like this that I've seen.
JF - Exactly, people used to do this all the time, especially back in the 60's and 70's, I think people just don't create their own things as much these days unfortunately.
You seem to have thought of everything. I'm impressed.
Dude! I could not tell the difference between a cozy cabin in wilderness or a truck camper on back a truck. Amazing! A man's man's man's cabin camper. Bravo.
thanks man!
I've seen this thing many times and never knew I could watch the build. Well done. Props from wasilla
yeah man, cya round !
One of the neatest diy campers ive seen
REAL BAD ASS. A LITTLE JEALOUS..
Very nice. Impressive and like the layout you used. Thanks for taking the time to share.
If this ain't the most unique damn camper then idk what to say holy shit 🙌🏾
a Job well done.....Love it...stay safe..
Hello from northern BC. Very well thought out dude. I want to build something similar on my 5x10 landscaping trailer and you gave me lots of good ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I would take this over the crap the RV industry is making these days. Today's RV's are made of glue, twigs, plastic, and duck tape.
exactly!
And zip tyes
"Duck" tape hahaha
That's disrespectful to duct(k) tape.
@@alexdelgado4048 I was thinking thats disrespectful to twigs really.
One of my favorites seen yet!!!
cheers!
Dude! My kids and I saw your rig on the Seward Hwy today and we were soooo frickin stoked! Sent the video I took of it to my friend and he sent me this video! Then saw the Y RENT plate and immediately got hyped! I remembered seeing your yota and custom camper years ago! Such a legit setup and glad you upgraded, although I totally loved the yota version too!
Yup haha that was me!
I love 💕 the mail box , and your cabin!
That's a real tiny house. It's amazing as well.
I'm in love with this. I want one. And the truck too.
What a neat style camper, done right!!! I like your analogy of going down the road during an earthquake level 5. When I think of it I wonder why I didn't get that Idea first!
Thanks! Yup, the earthquake analogy is as real as it gets lol.
Most impressive is the chimney cap.
I never had heard of one before but I KNOW that I need one.
Wow 👍👍👍
yup works great!
What a beautifully comfortable set up! A lot of thought went into that construction.
I'd have a cage outside on the deck to put my beer in & an alarm clock set to remind me to bring it in before it freezes.
not a bad idea haha
Beautiful-Made with love- I love the porch
Beautiful! Genius! That place is so fantastic. I want one! It is perfect-so well thought out. My hat is off to you.
design and layout looks perfect!! thanks for sharing-- be safe out there
So, that’s gorgeous. Great job. Looks comfy.
All I can say is that you're good. You should be proud of yourself. Stay safe. Great job.
Thanks for the kind words man, take care:)
Amazing setup! I've been trying to find someone else that does truck camping like Mav and I watched this video and it's awesome. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Mav is awesome!
Awesomeness!! So Talented! I see more and more ppl that are living free!, It's The way to go!
Dude, I just saw you driving down 5th Ave a couple weeks back! Thanks for the walk through vid. Great to see what the inside looks like after watching you drive by.
Thanks man, yup I'm all over the place lol
wow wow incredible job man perfect thank you for sharing love the design too....
Thank you! Cheers!
what a smart well thoughtout build ty for sharing this video i need one exactly like this :)
simply amazing what you have done with the space provided. Very well thought out.
Thank you! Yep, I put a lot of time into designing then squeezing all the comforts of home in there.
Outstanding! Well thought out and well done.
Dude, that's cool. Really like that. Thanks for sharing this.
No problem 👍
Dude....this thing is super sick! I am so jealous! I want this thing!
That was a great job my hat's off to you I dont think anyone could have designed it better
Thanks man:^)
Man this is awesome, that 'ol Ford is beautiful! Love the paint!
thanks!
Two things made me happy.
One my brother in law is a master carpenter and two I have an 8 foot box!!👍
Love it!!
👍😍Awesome! How did I miss this last year?!? The TH-cam algorithm gets on my nerves! It should know by now that I’d love to see this! Thanks for sharing. 🙏💝
Welcome to the channel;)
Coming from Chicago this is probably the most coolest thing I've ever seen. And especially your view there. I can't imagine waking up and seeing that view everyday. This is a cool ass idea, if I had the money I'd definitely do this. Keep it up, earned a subscription
haha thanks man! it's fun making the vids:^)
Right on Homie, you put a lot of thought into making that. Happy trails 👊🏻
cheers man
Nice! Love it.
Thanks for sharing. Very nice.
Wish I had something like this, good for you.
Peace
Very nice, and I love log cabins. You did an amazing job.
Thanks!
That is very gorgeous most ingeniously built camper I have ever seen enjoy it
Thanks!
Clicked for the gorgeous 7.3 powerstroke, stayed for the cool tiny cabin

That there is really something to be proud of!
Thanks!
👍😍Ddduuuuuudddddeeeee! This is fantastic! RV manufacturers NEED to hire you! 💝
Thanks:)
Love how the battery and propane are in an enclosed box haha
Wow. You did a great job fitting all the amenities into such a small footprint. I own a truck. Hmm... ;)
do it;^)
This is a bonafide tiny house and I love it. There is a lot of attention, to detail. It's cozy and fun.
Cheers, exactly what I was going for:^)
Resourceful Man! I think You are a genius. Freedom to adventure the countryside 👍🏻 keep doing Your shows! I will always enjoy & support. Be well 💪🏻😎
This guys passion and craftsmanship is amazing.
Aw shucks thanks:)
Man that's gotta be one the most awesome 'builds' that I have seen!! Compliments to you!!

I enjoyed your presentation. That tiny house is really well done!
Thank you, it was a fun project
Those windows are awesome
Very nicely done has everything you need and it looks great... Job well done
Thank you! Cheers!
