Oh heck yeah! I love everything about this! But....I would have to win the lottery first. This had to cost a few cents to build out, but so worth it if you have the resources.
Sooo.... The drivers seat would be the bedroom and the loaders area would be the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Unless you want to count the top of the tank as its own area?
As a Army retiree I must say it look totally different from what it looked like when I used to work them back in the day. I love everything they've done with this vehicle especially the added windows shower and elevated bed. I need something liked this. The industrialminimalist look is for me.
Agreed. The spaciousness is a winning feature. However, I'm sure it gets old paying for gas to go 5-8 miles per gallon. Alas it is a comfort vs practically sum, and we all have our unique sweet spots.
@@OrthodoxAtheist Yup. It's probably best to view a vehicle such as this as a stationary vehicle that can move around every once in a while. If we can ever get back on the abundant, safe, carbon-free nuclear power mated with the new catalytic production of carbon-based fuel made from CO2 in the atmosphere, we are home free, and mpg won't be that big of a deal.
In that event, gas for the vehicle will be a problem. They'd need to be able to produce alternative fuel and have it run on it. That's probably not practical. So basically this would allow you to get a certain distance for as long as you have gas, after that you're pretty much stationary. Gas has a shelf life. Perhaps solar could help it run for short distances?
@@theuglykwan True. But ive heard engines run on more than gas. Ive heard of people using old grease. Not sure i would try that lol. Or steam. I have no clue about engines but there was steam engines I guess they ran on coal ? Anyway ... something to check into
@@skywatcher4602 Yeah they'd definitely need to alter it to be able to run on something else they'd have after society collapses. Some alternatives would require a community to produce. Stuff like biogas is possible.
I work at Costco and I recognized that work bench right off BECAUSE I have wanted to build a,kitchen around that cabinet since we first started selling those over 10 years ago. The wood top is solid oak butcher block and of a very high quality. I plan on a 30-ft Yurt with that piece separating the kitchen from living space. NICE CHOICE!
I wanted metal Lowe dupped me ended up with shop partical board with vinyl covering which is coming off. Sad to say Sanders is not as good as it use to be still had good customer service though and replaced parts no question asked. Yes my kitchen industrial look good buy on the cabinetry buy one pantry shop grade get one upper cabnet free. So it was a quick kitchen fix for a husband who howled at the time that he wasn't into finish carpentry and he was a truck driver so cabnet building is time consuming this also was a weekend do so it worked for us. I will eventually pull off the vinyl covering and paint after a long honey do list left to me to complete now on my own:-(
We had one of these in Iraq at the beginning of the war. It was messed up. We gutted it and put beds in and fixed everything and it was a mobile home for my squad kept us out of the elements. It was nice. This build you have is immaculate design and build.
I've been drooling over these trucks for years. This is the first time I've seen one with the shelter on back, definitely the first time I've seen someone take one this far. AWESOME!
I remember when the LMTV's and MTV's were first delivered to my unit (1998 I think) and they were so much easier to drive than the Deuces and 5-tons we were replacing. Cool conversion, I dig it!
Guys, HERE is The Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
That workbench converted into a kitchen countertop/range/drawers is so genius!!!!! *THIS* is what is meant by *Tiny Home* / *Conversion Van* living (as opposed to the quack who merely lives out of a Jeep and calls that a “camper van” conversion…
Finally a build with a separate shower and toilet. But I’m too OCD to dump a cassette toilet, would probably never poop in it unless it was an emergency. Also this my favorite build but it’s also the least inconspicuous.
Seriously cool. I don’t think downsizing your wardrobe is trivial at all. It’s probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done when it comes to tiny living. I’m with you about relying on solar for electricity and cooking with induction. We have a propane stove in our trailer (which is 2 years old) and it’s nothing but a pain. We don’t even use it. I love the few little plants you have. They just seemed to add that little touch of home. Oh my gosh that view of the Grand Canyon was stunning. I bet sunrises and sunsets are amazing! I regret not being able to find something and building our own but neither of us is good at DIY (nor do I care to). Many happy travels!
I’m 12 too soon to retire and I think you’ve built one of the coolest go anywhere trucks I’ve ever seen. I even got my wife to appreciate this rig. No small feat. God Bless and enjoy. Amazing guys 👍🏼
He’s super humble about it but that guy is wicked smart. That looks so complicated it makes my head hurt and he figured it out in a year. She seems genuinely appreciative of him too. Definitely jealous lol
Glad you noticed! Zack is a genius, I mean wicked smart, and I (Krystal) like to brag about his work every chance I get. Thanks for watching, cheers to you!
So please pardon my French ....... Holy shit that is f***ing awsome . The first shot going in is captivating , the bed and the shower . Also the you can go where others cannot ...... that is freedom to enjoy . Great job 🇺🇲 🍻
I keep pushing retirement in a van on my husband, he nudges me when we see a big military vehicle like Bantha here, so I'll have to save & share this with him later. This is awesome!!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful what a wonderful home on wheels you have. It must have took an immense amount of work and thought. Much respect good job. 🚚
Good ole expando van. We still use these and they're great. One suggestion would be to have some lifting support when bringing the sides in, which will be less stressful on the expansion gears, especially since they're usually plastic. I love it though and glad to see people making use of all that room.
You guys did an amazing job! This is so awesome! I’m 38 y.o and I’ve always wanted to have a SHTF castle on wheels. This is a tank with luxury apt inside! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How amazing u2 are! I've never seen anything so planned out. I just can't get over how livable it is. Job well done to say the least. Happy travels my friend!
Happy this came to my recommended, it’s beautiful and I’m proud of you both, love the teamwork and mutual essence you both brought forth in showing us this build‼️ Awesome 👏
It's industrial looking, sure. BUT it just goes to show that anyone can do this... You don't gotta be an interior designer or an ex RV designer to do this stuff... It gives us common folk hope lol. The industrial look definitely grew on me within the length of the video.
I am glad that the two of you thought outside the box and got the kitchen 'work bench'. The drawers are perfect for the kitchen area. You are truly ready for the zombie apocalypse. How would anything that big really get stuck in the snow? Is it all wheel drive? Love the great thought you have put into your bunker..Happy New Year!! You never showed where all your clothing goes.
Yes, very industrial in style. Is vehicle more for boondocking or does national parks allow entry. The exterior photo of your home makes it seem huge. Happy Trails
I like your innovativeness. I desire that one day I will also manage to acquire such a vehicle and use it to go around rural areas of Zambia spreading the gospel.
People tend to shit on industrial anything, but those people have never used industrial anything; it is generally designed for function over form and works far better for that reason.They way they've accented the industrial is fantastic, they did a great job with that interior, I love it!
Loved everything about this rig and the couple (and tiny living for that matter) so many things are so satisfying about living in a smaller space, yet have that sense of something close to freedom!! if you really want it and can, do your best to do it because life's just way too short and the older you get, the shorter it drips through your hands! couldn't stop applauding!!!
Military vehicles are becoming ready candidates to convert into tiny houses, is this something you are considering?
Well, yeah, now.

Next up on Tiny Home Tours, couple converts a M1 Abrams tank to luxury tiny home.
Able to keep pesky lookie-lous away.
😂🤣😂
Lmao 🤣 in my country it would be pushcart or wheelbarrow 😂😂
Well, if you're going to live in a modern tank. The M1 Abrams definitely has one of the roomier interiors.
Sooo.... The drivers seat would be the bedroom and the loaders area would be the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Unless you want to count the top of the tank as its own area?

And the lady goes with him perfectly. 😊
Hey you got likes a year ago
Best use of a retired military rv I’ve seen yet. I’m inspired. Great job guys. I love it ❤
Thank you, appreciate the comment and support!
IMO that's the coolest truck conversion I've seen.
Agreed
Agree. Coolest conversion of any vehicle I’ve ever seen.
10x14. That's a studio apartment. On wheels.

Thank you for this feedback. We will post a video soon showing all our storage details. 🍻
Thank you! Exactly what I was thinking and going to say.
Hi! We finally posted a video showing the fridge.

Noo. Last time, someone stole his clothes, so if they tell us where the wardrobe is, they'll have to kill us all 😁
True we sure didn't!
Okay this is what we will need in the Zombie apocalypse......love it!!!

This is the perfect combination, looks rough and capable in the outside, but look amazing and I would say modern and luxurious in the inside.....
🙏 Thank you!
Damn when you opened that back door I wasn’t expecting it to look so good holy shit. Looks so modern. Beautiful
What a guy .what's he into? I would never have thought of a tilting bed. HES SPECIAL.TALENT.

The kitchen and shower are great. Very clever and equipped with sous vide!
This is one of the very best tiny house on wheels projects I’ e seen! It doesn’t feel closed in or cramped at all! Such a lucky find! Brilliant!
I used to work out of a couple of these at Fort Huachuca and cranking these things out was always a pain in the butt.
What a great idea.
Thank you for inviting us into your home.
I think you did a great job making this exactly what you want.
Zack's such a chill guy. Didn't even complain much about his stuff getting stolen.
American: Welcome to our tiny home
Brit: Holy crap their living room is bigger than my studio flat
You don't have to fill your studio with $400 of petrol every time you wake up.
*laughs in new york accent*
@@photopicker In Canada you would...also Germany and other places that use oil heaters...
True dat! LOL - We call it smiles to the gallon. But, then again, how many MPG do most houses get?
Lmao
Dude is a straight up G for doing the whole interview with a lip full of dip
I’ve watched hundreds of RV & tiny home videos and this is my favorite build.
This my all time favorite conversions, simple and very elegant!
Thank you for appreciating our simplicity! Cheers 🍻
Probably my favorite van / truck conversion I’ve seen on here. Congrats on everything this thing is great!
Now thats rv life not to be embarrassed about
I've spent many years in the maritime industry I would call it "cargo ship chique"! Love it!
Who don't love industrial that home look like they took a lot of time to make it a sweet home 🔥🔥🔥
I've been drooling over these trucks for years. This is the first time I've seen one with the shelter on back, definitely the first time I've seen someone take one this far. AWESOME!
Military meets Star Wars. I absolutely love. Your M1087 brings back a bunch of memories. Fantastic work y'all have done to this.
I remember when the LMTV's and MTV's were first delivered to my unit (1998 I think) and they were so much easier to drive than the Deuces and 5-tons we were replacing. Cool conversion, I dig it!
The air brakes will shake everyone up a bit if you're not used to it 😉
This is absolutely the best I've ever seen I don't know why but it looks like A real home With lots of space
Thank you!
Hands down my favorite build I've seen on TH-cam. These two really thought outside of the box when it came to designing this.
👊 Thank you!
Outside of the box 🥁
Guys, HERE is The Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)

Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
JUST ONE AWESOME LOOKING TINY HOME.GREAT COLOR
Thank you!
This is the most mental conversion I've seen so far - its actually cool how extravagant it is.
I'm telling you the huge sink is so worth it. I live in my RV and I don't regret it at all.
The rig looks huge inside! Nicely done.
That workbench converted into a kitchen countertop/range/drawers is so genius!!!!! *THIS* is what is meant by *Tiny Home* / *Conversion Van* living (as opposed to the quack who merely lives out of a Jeep and calls that a “camper van” conversion…
Thank you for inviting us into your home.
I think you did a great job making this exactly what you want. And your wife is very very nice... Bravo...
Thank you! Appreciate it.
With the slides already there, and power. Ideal for converting.
"have to use very teeny tiny space" has a giant open area you could breakdance in.
Meet you guys at big sandy this past weekend was great meeting you and that truck is the absolute best was very thankful you let us see it
🍻 Great meeting you! Thanks for stopping by. Big Sandy is a blast, right?
I have watched many videos of truck/van conversions. And I must say, that this is by far, the best yet. Maybe it's because I too love industrial.
🙏 🙏 🙏
Finally a build with a separate shower and toilet. But I’m too OCD to dump a cassette toilet, would probably never poop in it unless it was an emergency. Also this my favorite build but it’s also the least inconspicuous.
Much nicer than the ones I used to work on. The design fits very well. Love it. With proper maintenance these things last for years!
Bantha is a beauty. With such loving parents
"This is very simple", gotta be the understatement of the year.
I'm sure its also really discreet.
They did a great job converting this into a tiny house.
I've seen them on another tiny house channel before. Glad to see they are still enjoying the lifestyle.
That truck was well worth the price. You can take it anywhere and its spacious and bulletproof!

Pardon extended! Thanks, we are still having a great time, love our home-on-wheels.
It seems like you have so much space. I love your military vehicle and how you designed it! Congratulations, it’s a win!
Thank you! We do enjoy all the open space. 🍻
I love the little peep window on the side door. I could see myself messing with friends and barring them entry to my speak easy hahah
Hahah, yes! What is the code word?

Beautiful beautiful beautiful what a wonderful home on wheels you have. It must have took an immense amount of work and thought. Much respect good job. 🚚
Lovely Home lovingly created very livable Living the good life. Wishing you all the Wonder Health and Wealth oh and Happy Trail’s

They’re going to have some amazing life experiences with this.
that is for sure
What an astounding conversion.
Thanks!
Excellent to see more of Bantha, Crystal, and Zack!
That little silver box in the British Army was called a BV(boiling vessel).Warrior IFV’s use them.1st class morale booster when Baltic cold.👍
I saw this truck and this couple a few years ago in Bonney Lake Washington. Their was no missing this huge rig
Bug out vehicle for the win. Nice build guys. Good luck and stay safe.
Thank you!!
Nobody will ever try to break into this beast seeing it’s military exterior
Ummm...like they literally say in the video that the got all their stuff stolen at a music festival 🙄
@@Oceansta They said the Jeep got broken into, not the military truck.
Best build I've seen. Congratulations! 👏
Thank you. 👊
Would like to see the inside when the sides haven’t been extended out. For example, what happens with the flooring? Does it fold up?
Yeah, me too.
Yes, the floors fold upward when the sides are pulled in
Interesting I was thinking the floor looks one level all the way
They fold up and when people leave stuff in the middle it breaks everything
Best so far. Amazing design/application.
Oh May goodness next to the edge i couldn't. Your build is beautiful
😂It WAS a bit intimidating at first, but the views were so inspiring, worth it!
Happy this came to my recommended, it’s beautiful and I’m proud of you both, love the teamwork and mutual essence you both brought forth in showing us this build‼️ Awesome 👏

Go anywhere

ALL purpose
