I drive one of these in the army, its called a LMTV (light medium tactical vehicle) thrse trucks are a work horse, you can take them about anywhere, you can deflate this tires from inside the cab to either drive across sand or lower the height of the truck. I absolutely love these trucks, there is no terrain these trucks cant handle 🇺🇲
Yay! A real office chair! This is the first build I've seen that has a real office chair. I love this layout. It's very stark -- but it works -- and feels very sane & practical. However, if I had my wiring under my desk like that, with no protection, I would be snagging my feet on the wires all the time & likely pulling them out.
I agree. The whole thing works, but that was the one thing I didn't love about this build was the under-the-desk wiring. I've seen a couple others where people hid/plant them inside their thick shower/back walls haha.
Oh ya, I'd have to do something about the cables & cords too. I'm a bit too hyper and my feet would muck with them. I would need a bigger fridge, at least a dorm size. another burner, & maybe another Ikea cupboard box. LOL.
Definitely nice to see one that actually seems like someone lives and works out of lol I would have to build some type of out door kitchen setup I do love it though
Its a nice setup, i would only recommend maybe a coupe tweaks just to make it a little easier to live in. If you're a tosser when you sleep, youre likely to accidentally kick the monitor and break it; maybe find a way to keep the monitors below the mattress and out of the way? And maybe make a basic drain pump system that is built into the shower so you can just flip a switch and it pumps to the grey tank. Minor things that would go a long way in the long run, thats all.
The one thing I own that I love the most is my small standing desk and office chair, and always thought I 'd like to have it in my future tiny home. It's amazing to see you have it in your tiny mobile home. You could even add some cushions on top of the water tanks in the back under the bed to make a tiny couch. Very nice practical build
I literally just found this truck for sale today...auction is at $10300 on 10/5/2023. I just googled Stewart and Stevenson for sale and it came up. Listing says there is only 17,000 miles on it so doesn't seem like this guy traveled that much in it. I would put the link but I don't know if TH-cam would delete the comment thinking it's spam.
This was one of the best and most interesting videos. I love this build. It's everything one would need to be comfortably practical. Thanks for the tour.
With the rising cost of home 🏘️ ownership and mortgage and rent, mobile homes are now in trend. What's more, these new small home owners are getting more and more creative.
At $100k plus another $45k into the truck This thing costs as much as a average single family home in the Midwest and you’re not going to get a 15-30yr mortgage on it.
Good build! I appreciate a guy who's all about utility rather than just aesthetic. Although, I didn't initially love the amount of space the motorbike took up, I dig his unique solution with the bed lift. Saves a lot of space even if he just put it in to watch movies on his PC screen haha. Wonder how hard it is to fix the lift on his own though if it goes out.
I was tempted to buy the LMTVs to convert to an offroad camper. They look cool. Reliability and fuel economy concerns have always been the roadblock. The 5 tons or 2.5 tons are good alternatives since they have been in military service for much longer.
Friendly tip to anyone thinking of buying one of these. The flat sides of the truck makes a great projector screen for watching movies or playing console games. I took a projector with me through all 3 of my Iraq tours. And some guys saw myself and the other mechanics playing Rock Band using my projector and Xbox. And shooting it onto the side of a LMTV truck. Next thing I hear they have one of their own and took it with them as they traveled from FOB to FOB.
dude, I like you attitude of keeping it simple. The enterior got potential for improvements to make it more cosy. Also you always have to take the bike out when you want to go to sleep?
I know of someone who took the LMTV chassis and removed everything from the bed and placed a mini camper on it. I've slept in the back of one of these back in my Army days, and even with nothing but a sleeping bag they make good shelters.
You got some great ideas there thank you You're helping me it with my build I will be starting in about a month. It's time to declutter my life. Love the shower idea love love love.
The reason your tires are not lasting long is because if you go over 55 MPH on that tire (for the S&S military trucks) they will heat up and slowly melt. Keep it around 50 and the tires will last a shockingly long time, like years long.
Thank you for the video. I’m a see if I can find me a military truck and do the same please be safe and take care what state if you don’t care Kentucky here
I love this! It is such a guy thing!! It is just wonderful because it is so right for him and his needs and this is what tiny homes are about, suiting your individual needs!! I really admire this cool build!!
Ik heb de zelfde maar dan 9 inch . Maar ik geb vraagje er staat dat er campercontact op zit en park for night. Maar ik kan dat niet vinden op de navigatie systeem. Weet u dat. Hoe geg werkt. Groetjes Eddy van Egten
I would like to know everything about that shower set up . This what I need for my build/ tiny. Please respond as this would really help me to complete my build . Thank you
I’d like to find one of the M-800 series long frame office trucks that the Army had For one thing the tires weren’t as big as his and you could swap out the tube type split ring military wheels for tubeless either steel or aluminum rims to hold 1100r 20 ‘s in either a luggers or highway treads and like this guy regear the differentials
My wife and I tried this for a year in an RV. It was not too bad but it definitely is not for us as a married couple. If I was single again, I most definitely would do this but probably with a motor home.
There are a shit ton of military vehicles that would easily be capable of tiny homes, though the gas consumption and size might be factors. I could see myself with a tiny home in a deuce and a half, or a 5ton for relatively cheap.

I liked the big puddle you drive through to get licensed.
Texas made, Texas tough. Glad you're enjoying them.
Military truck and chain saw at the ready, reminds me of the original Doom guy. ❤it.
Awesome tiny home and an engaging personality to boot.

Would love to see him do videos of his build for the 6x6.

Link please !
Such a great find. I have been planning to do this for a couple years. Nice to see the ideas.
Cool, like that he wasn't worried about the interior looking like an apartment.
I built part of that truck on the line in Sealy Texas in 1998. Good to see you making good use!
The tool box dresser is brilliant!
Wow wow ! This is amazing & can go anywhere without no issues! This one is one of favorite ones ! Great build !
Love it. Even the tool box as a chest of drawers. Awesome!
This was one of the best and most interesting videos. I love this build. It's everything one would need to be comfortably practical. Thanks for the tour.
I get my learners permit in a year. I wonder if he would let me drive it?
I think he would. He seems like a nice guy with a beautiful smile. @@digby_dooright
He is rich for sure
Gorgeous, I really like the truck too.
lol - I see what you did there! 😉
Apollo is CUTIE! ❤❤❤
would like to have seen more of the operation of the winch and ramp rig,thats pretty slick
So much for hiding in plain sight. Small town people would see that roll in & the talk would be non-stop.
I used this same exact type truck for 6 years in the military as a work shop when deployed and in the field. Oh the memories.
Awesome Loved the truck, the guy, the bike, all of it.

@@Civiliansoldier762and all that he pays in gas is as much as or more than some pay for thier utility bills
@@Civiliansoldier762 Buy flatbed truck and put prefab home on it😅
@@Civiliansoldier762 ln some places in the country $100k is a drop in the bucket. God bless you.
@@Cynthia-fx4we ok, move then? nobody cares that you chose to harm yourself financially.
I love it, except for one thing I wish you could make one of those a walk-through from the cab
How about some purchase, budget and run cost numbers?
I had an idea for a more bare simple camper conversion and this one just cured me of the idea.
Wow thats absolutely well planned out. Pretty convenient all way down to the motorcycle.
That would be nice for a couple of weeks out of the year visiting folks across the country. Plus fishing and camping would be grand as well.
Handsome and resourceful man. Love the idea
Love the stealth solar panels❤
😅wishing I could buy the old one off them when they get the upgraded version set up! This is so well done!
Very handsome smart man with amaxing van injoy watching
If anyone has seen the 80's movie called Mega Force. Apollo's bike looks like one of the Bikes from the movie. Nice place he has.
Who else was waiting for him to ride the bike down that narrow ramp and was disappointed when he used the wench? 😁
😂😂😂
Yeah bloody chicken lol
Wench? I think he's single.
Never crossed my mind
I was thinking the same thing.
I always thought Unimog's would be good. Super utilitarian.

This is the one being auctioned on C&B right now!
Very creative and nice has what you need for one person. You did a great job converting it.

SMART & Magnificent idea❗❗ Looks very safe!!
awesome truck setup, I like it!
Alright, this is the life I was looking for, finally! Something like this would be the life for me.
Love the winch system n ramp for the bike! Brilliant. (N love all things ikea lol) 🍻
Would love to see the buildout for this truck (or the next one!!).
Great setup in that rig.
Ikea to the rescue! I love it! I plan to build a custom toy hauler. I plan to use Ikea for my cabinets and kitchen needs.
Love your truck.
I would suggest a solar powered water from air machine.
I use an induction plate uses less electricity. My house uses solar
You got some great ideas there thank you You're helping me it with my build I will be starting in about a month. It's time to declutter my life. Love the shower idea love love love.
That's pretty cool. And Ikea is pretty convenient too
Cool! But where in the hell do you park that thing?
Glad your safe Apollo ;) 12:08
Love your style. Jealous… stunning build.
We agree! This build is impressive 💪
That is beautiful minimalist design
I'm chanting for a man like this in my life.😍
Same!
I wish I had money to do such activities. Very fun. Very functional
Love it! What an awesome build.
this is awesome- wish I was this creative, very very cool

Keep it around 50 and the tires will last a shockingly long time, like years long.
Would big rig tires help?
There is a self recovery winch you can add to it for emergencies
Thank you for the video. I’m a see if I can find me a military truck and do the same please be safe and take care what state if you don’t care Kentucky here
Thanks for the lift bed video... it seemed the motor was very quiet, any chance you might share where that was sourced please?
I love this! It is such a guy thing!! It is just wonderful because it is so right for him and his needs and this is what tiny homes are about, suiting your individual needs!! I really admire this cool build!!
Thanks for your unique and interesting videos.
I dont always get to watch. But i love your channel. This is really cool
How do you find parts while on the road?
Ik heb de zelfde maar dan 9 inch .
Maar ik geb vraagje er staat dat er campercontact op zit en park for night.
Maar ik kan dat niet vinden op de navigatie systeem.
Weet u dat.
Hoe geg werkt.

Gotta show the part where you have to get a buddy to put an MRE box over the exhaust pipe to get it started in the cold.
I would like to know everything about that shower set up . This what I need for my build/ tiny. Please respond as this would really help me to complete my build . Thank you
Awesome!!! If shit goes down here that dude is gonna disappear and we will never see him again. He will be on top of some mountain somewhere
I want one for a western hunt rig
very nice set up
What do you use for the ramp for your motorcycle the piece where your wheels Rolled down on
one of these days ... I hope to be to the point where I could have someone tour my "house truck" ... so much to do
Very well kitted out!
I enjoyed you're video.Thank you.
I’d like to find one of the M-800 series long frame office trucks that the Army had

I must say... your Abode is totally* Awesome "😅🎉
the background music in this video is so good i was jamming
That was excellent!
How tall is it? I can think of a few railroad underpasses that might give it crewcut.
36 days to finish all of that? thats pretty fast. Most truck campers i watch always takes around 3 to 4 months to complete
Dude !!I love it man !!!!!! 🙃
Super cool this Home
There are a shit ton of military vehicles that would easily be capable of tiny homes, though the gas consumption and size might be factors. I could see myself with a tiny home in a deuce and a half, or a 5ton for relatively cheap.
I'm just guessing here... But I think that it looks like a whole lot of fun 😃
He's a real nomad!
Weird question. Is it bulletproof?
How do you submit an address to necessary individuals when needed. (PO Boxes are not accepted by all.)
a ups store will
give you an actual address for your mailbox but a postal office p.o. box isn’t an address
@@singthesoftlight Thank you, I didn't know this information about UPS.
I definitely want a 6x6, the bed is 10 feet long, I'd put a chopped down shipping container on it.
I have a M1083- 6x6 means....more tires....and even less mileage 🙂
@@roceye a vehicle that big, you're not really worried about MPG
Love your home and its very nice inside.
I am wondering if it is possible to own that kind of truck in California because CA has a strict emission rule.
Wow. Golden Gardens at Ballard!

I drive that same truck in the woods. Bedt set out truck we ever had
What's your EMF rate inside the camper?
Loved this!
I live in a fifth wheel, it's not where it's like to be but someday i dream of traveling in whatever vehicle i make my home.
Very cool but very expensive to run and maintain
