1:02 This is by Far a Remarkable and Rigid Idea that i ever watch build camper van. It's Weather proof and spacious than other's do. And the difference is all the materials are made inside your house 😊
You are absolutely right. 👍 It is very comfortable. We had temperatures around freezing / 0°c, and inside, without heating, it stayed 16°c. At night that is perfect for sleeping. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ❤️👍
Yeah, you are right, small, but loving it! Trying to get better every time. This video is doing quite good actually. At least compared to before. That and your comments are great incentive! Thanks!
That’s actually fairly common in Europe. Windows mostly held in place by foam and metal strips at least for brick walls. That probably insulates the windows from the colder stone and heat isn’t transferring. Wood would be a barrier too just heavier I guess
Yep 👍😄 And I did use massive amounts of glue to stick the window to the frame. Indeed foam is for insulation. This just to be sure and I do not get sued for false information or anything 🫣
Hi! 👍👍❤️ That is nice! Yeah next video will be ready for upload in 2 weeks. Including many inside and outside pictures of the finshed "product". Thanks for your support!
Everytime I see a shipping container build I wonder what its really like in the coldest and hottest months to live in with all that steel conducting the temperature into the space? Would like an update about it once you move in for a while. I built something very similar and been living in it 4 years now and will never go back to a regular house, you won't regret it. Even if your heating a cooling bills are off the charts :) You went to a lot of effort to put a deck on the roof, are you not putting solar up there?
You will not believe how comfortable it is inside the container! With the sun blasting it stays nice in there until around 16.00 hour. After that it is the same temperature as outside. But I understand your wonder, without isolation it would have been unbearable inside. And the roof also functions as an umbrella. Architects tell me that thats the best way to keep it cool inside. There will be solar panels, but I have a trick up my sleeve. But that is a story for next time 🫣😄👍👋 Thanks for you comment and support! ❤️
Wow....i loved the part were you said "I'm so happy now!" You were having a vision you haven't accomplished yet, but you were determined to bring it to life. One love brother, from....well somewhere in Africa!😂
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Colombia! 😄 So amazing to have viewers from all over the world! Next week we will show the finished product and after that we will do a couple of in depth room-tours for people who want to know more about a certain topic. 👍
Do you have some type of air filtration set up? As airtight as it looks you need clean air in it. There will be alot of humidity in the air from your breath,getting into the walls and woodwork. I guess you could leave a window cracked open or maybe the skylight. Also a container would make a great cooler and freezer. The survivalists would love this.
Wow, those are quite a few great comment and questions packed in a "short" text. Amazing, love it, thanks! There is no air filtration, we open windows, we have a CO2 sensor (never rang) and our heater uses the "moist" inside air and transports it outside. Also a home-weather station, which measures humidity, always a smiley face there, so it should all be fine. You are the second to comment on humidity and clean air. So there should be a link, a reason or deeper thought behind it. Do you know what it is? And yeah, I have talked to a couple of "preppers" who were very interested indeed. Thanks for your message and apologies for the long reply 🫣👍❤️
@@uglysjourney The humidity in the air at any given time is not really the issue. The issue is the temperature difference between the inside of the steel and the outside. You have condensation pissing down your walls behind that thin insulation and the cheap foam you used is probably wicking that water right into your wall boards. If you go somewhere cold for an extended period you will have mold in your walls. There is no two ways about it. Read about vapor barriers. We use them for a reason.
@Mikael-jt1hk sustainabilityworkshop.venturewell.org/node/1027.html I am quite sure I disagree. It is not possible for water to form on in the inside of the outer steel walls. That is because there is insulation there. It is all sandwiched against the wall and I have a high insulation value. 5 cm PIR (greatest r- value), 2 cm wood, and a bit of foam. When moisture would form is would on the visible side of the inside wall (on the wood). Please note this build is not like a house.... 😄👍
Thank you very much! I had to translate using Google Translate, but your compliment makes my day, especially that you like the yellow! 👍😄 In 1 week we will finish the container and we will show the inside as well. Hope to see you then! 👍❤️
Absolutely super. I was enjoying it a lot only by watching. But of course it is very challenging and you need a lot if power. The result is phantastic!!!
I have never considered a box truck. The container just fits my ideas and needs in regards to durability and strength. A box of a box truck is not really solid, right?
impressive build. just one remark if that platform in the back is supposed to be for a bed later on you should cut some slots into this so the mattress that goes on top of this has ventilation from below otherwise it will get moldy under the mattress.
Thank you! And always nice to hear constructive feedback! ❤️👍. I understand what you say and know some "horror-mold-stories". We solved it by having a few gaps below the matrass (not much indeed). So we added a "hospital-cover" over the main matrass. That will prevent moisture from reaching matrass 😄👍 we keep an eye on it and till now all is fine.
Love this build, and look forward to the finish article. The way the world is at the moment, this is perfect to just get away from it all. This is what my aim has been for a few years now, and i watch a lot of builds. So keep up the great work and safe travels, 👍 from the uk.
Yeah, you are right, it is a nice house without mortgage or rent! Quite a few have said it before, but to be honest we did not make it to "get away". For us this is just a new phase in our lives, looking for something more, something else then just working 9 to 5 and paying +50% of our income to rent/mortgage. Now we have less income, but we also need less. But we get so much in return. Thanks for your kind comment ❤️👍, and we hope to see you with the next video!
Tip, rather than using expensive props to hold timber to the ceiling while the glue drys, just use a long piece of timber on an angle. Knock it in place with a hammer and it will act like a wedge between the floor and the piece you're gluing to the ceiling.
Watched your build and story all the way through, it does look ace even though you had problems along the way, enjoy life and look forward to your future and more recent travels….Robbo 👍
❤️ Comments like these help me to continue. Thank you! A bare container is terrible in regards to insulation. And I wanted it to be OK for living between -10 and +30. And now it does, without airco, but with heating 👍. See you in two weeks!
Nice, what would make it even more awesome would be if there was an entry from inside the truck cabin, so no need to get out. Probably would be a headache to do though.
Thank you, like the comment a lot. ❤️❤️ And that is because I have had "headache" enough for thinking whether I wanted a "pass-through" or not. I still can have one, the design is ready for it. But I cannot decide on this one. What I have learned is that the pass-through has to be really easy to use. Otherwise people do not use it. For now it is no issue, we do not feel like we miss it... 👍🫣 Anyway thanks for your thoughts and support! Hope to see you later! ❤️
Thank you very much for your support! Indeed you are right, this video is more of a quick recap of what has been shown already. Especially for the early viewers. But next video will surely not disappoint in that perspective. Hope you will let me know! ❤️👍
This has to be the thickest walls ever made plus it took away a lot of space. But fear not now these god tier walls could survives an atom explosion, congrats 👍
🤣 loved your comment! And you are right, 7 cm (3 inch) on the thinnest part. But have you ever been in an uninsulated container in the full sun? When you have, then you will know why I did my insulation the way I did 😄👊❤️
Nice to see a robust and practical R.V. that should last for a very long while compared to all those plastic fantastic, leaky builds you get from a dealer. I doubt the bad on this unit will bend and warp like so many R,V's do these days ha ha ha Like n sub.
That is such a great comment! Makes my day, thanks! And you are right, the container has a build-in subframe, very strong. Thanks for your support! 👍❤️
Thank you, that is great support! And you are right, more windows (or bigger) would have been nice. I made this choice based on costs. Doors and windows now cost over €10k, which was quite a lot for me. And over 10% of total costs. 🚚💰💰 In hindsight, 1 window more, would be better.....
What a good start! Have already seen the end result at Col de Guéry France last summer. The yellow box stands out realy well. Hope that you succeed in all yr plans in the near future. Good luck and see you in the Pyrenees someday.
Haha, that is funny!! Never expected that to happen. On the other hand, all these viewers and subscribers, that is quite awesome and brilliant on this side as well 🫣👍🍻 Thanks for the fun comment and support 😄
I guess all your wiring is going to be surface wiring? Where will plumbing be routed? Will gray and black tanks be mounted underneath the truck? It looks like a sturdy build, but heavy too.
@@SuperSushidog Hi, thanks for leaving a comment! 👍❤️ I will build a raised floor. Below that I can do wiring and plumbing. I also use internal walls and the cupboards. No wire or tube can be seen in the end! 🥳👊👍 Check out my next videos there you can see for yourself 😉
Wow, first time I've seen a shipping container build on the back of a truck. Makes perfect sense!!! I am curious as to how you're going to run all your electrical wiring though, so that will be a nice surprise. :D
Thank you for your nice and smart comment! 👍❤️ Next video will surely show how I did the wiring. So I will keep that a "surprise" for next time 🫣😉. And i guess your comment is linked to the fact that I did not use the walls to run the electrics. And indeed that has been commented by many more. But I think I found a "smart" solution for it. 🤫 I have a second floor.....
Thanks, yeah we have the container on a truck and that makes it flexible! But perhaps we want to put our tiny home on the ground someday. What makes a container home not good in your perspective? In any way, thanks for sharing your thoughts! ❤️👍
🥳👍 Thanks for you kind support! We are travelling indeed and plan to make some nice videos on that topic. Hope you will like those videos as well. Is there a specific topic you would like to see?
Thank you! The final part cN be found here; th-cam.com/video/tUiO-QzGME0/w-d-xo.html And currently I am working on a room tour. Hope to see you there! 👍❤️
What a pity you didn't line the bedroom cladding lines up, it would have looked so much better, however its so nice to see you back publishing videos again
❤️ thanks for your support! Yeah you are right about the cladding alignment! It did not sit right with my "ocd" as well. In next vid, if all goes right, you will see the cover in the corners.... It helps a small bit 🫣
Thank you! But to be honest this is all DIY, I have never done this type of work before. It did take me a very long time. 1,5 years fulltime. It feels like a big compliment, so thank you very much!! ❤️❤️👍
Awesome work my friend. You are FAST!!! Sweet! Soooo, if I bring you my 40' container on a Saturday morning around 7 am, I could pick it up by noon? LMAO Cheers
The only issue I have with this build is using a Conex box is the weight. This will impact the milage and suspension as well as the acceleration and breaking. Could have used a lighter solution then a steel box. I understand it is more convent and possibly a little cheaper but still so much heavier than this build needed to be.
Yeah, thanks for your thoughts! And indeed the container makes us about 10% heavier than we could be. I do not think that is much especially when I factor in what it all gives back ❤️👍. Coming week I will post a comparison video with the Earthroamer SX (same weight class and dimensions). You will be surprised when we compare it 😄😄
Hi Shaun, in my opinion insulating on the outside is a big no-no. Would not even know how one would waterproof it. But perhaps you have an idea or can share a link to a good explanation? In any way thanks for your support and opinion! Cheers! 👍
That is too much credit for my skills, but thank you very much! I had no experience when I started this build... 🫣👍 Learned a lot in the proces of building a container house on wheels.
People watching. Ur hear to watch a time-lapse not throw a party. Dont like the music then change the channel! Duhhh. Vid was entertaining and informative
Thank you! ❤️ Building and creating videos proved to be a step to far, but I am happy I can now share these 2 video's (1 now and the second in 2 weeks). Feels nice to be back into it.
The weight of that container is nuts. 20ft has a tare weight of 2.5Ton. Recommend a fridge box with barn doors. Fully insulated dry and thus much less work. But a great little house non the less.
Thanks! 👍❤️ Yeah you are right, container has quite a bit of weight. But can I ask? Do you know the weight of a ready fridge box? Ready; so I can have a terrace on top, a bike back on the back and strong enough for cupboards. Hope you know so we can do an honest comparison. 👍😄
@@uglysjourney not sure maybe similar in weight but the fridge is fully insulated and the box is wider so that the internal size is similar to an no-insulated box. The roof should easily take a deck as it is a composite roof. Internal curtains are often hung from the roof and they are VERY heavy. The only roof I would question is single skin or transparent GRP.
Ok thanks!! So weight should be about the same. So the main pro and con is inside space (fridge is bigger) vs outside strength (container is stronger). Only main thing left to know now is the costs. The new container was €10.000 (incl window openings, VAT and paint). I did research (in Covid times) and found new fridge boxes are double that costs. Do you agree?
Hello Yves, thanks for your kind comment and question! 😄 The container will be around 5.000kg, completely filled, incl 600 lit. water. Are you planning to build something yourself? 👍❤️
Just glue the foam sheets on the sea container then the wood the foam has the compressive strength on the floor it does not compress between the timber it just needs support at the entrance. Same with the walls and ceiling use glue not spray foam they glue aircraft together. Better insulation, cheaper, quicker. Same with the walls and ceiling It is how SIPs structural insulated panels are made and they work well. No need to make little individual ones with poor insulating expensive wood between each small one. Or save the work and just use SIPs it is the same price as the sea container for new panels their are joiners designed for 90 degrees and corners the panels are custom made with no cutting needed. I convert buses so am stuck with the wall and ceiling frame but just add foam and ply to the floor with a strip of timber at the front step thats all, thicker flooring can be used if needed with all the money saved and cupboards attached to it. I use a bus as they are mobile with a cheap permit and stealth if you leave the outside stock none of that applies to a sea contained with holes for windows.
Many thanks for you very elaborate explanation. I understand you refer to "sandwich panels", right? Is a proven concept ofcourse. My issue with that approach was the difficulty of attaching anything to the foam sheets. How would I hang the wood wall cladding? Hope you have some time for a reaction. In any way thanks for support! ❤️👍
Thanks! But it is barely enough for winter time. I would recommend more or additional flexible panels perhaps. We run a generator once every month or so to top up. ❤️👍
It’s an OCD thing, but it annoys Me when two lots of Tongue and Groove Boards (as in Wall Panelling around the Bed) don’t align. Such a simple thing speaks to Bespoke, but misses the point so annoyingly. Other than that, Excellent Job. Looking forward to continuation. Edit: Didn’t realise it was a complete build series until after viewing this video, commenting and subscribing, hence this Edit. By the way, My OCD loves the Yellow.
🫣😄 I fully understand what you are saying. It does not sit well with my OCD as well 👍. I put some finishing in the corner, than it does not look that bad, but still.... 🫣. Thanks for your friendly comment! Love getting them, it motivates. 🍻
Nice, have few questions. 1. Is there housing shortage in Germany? 2. Wont this container house give you a claustrophobic feeling? 3. Do you have to pay municipal taxes for such mobile house? 4. Can an untrained/non engineer person do all these activities? Apartly I like the device to apply adhesive/gum. It is easy to use.
Hi! Thanks for the questions! 1. We are from the Netherlands and there is a big housing shortage there. In Germany I do not know. 2. No claustrofobic feelings for us, but perhaps for some it might. 3. No taxes, just roadtax. 4. I am untrained and have little to none building experience, so I would say yes😄👍. Just takes a long time. Thanks for your support! 👊
Hi Vladd, thanks for your concern! 👍😄 I think you are talking about a cold-bridge. When the difference between inside and outside temperatures is very large. I.e. Inside +20°c, outside -10°c. Then water will form on the inside. Like a cold can of coke in summer. To prevent a cold-bridge the insulation needs to be thick or good enough. My insulation is good enough for temperatures around -10°c. So there is no issue with condensation yet. Except 1 point and that is the handle of the Outbound door. That gets extremely wet, it has a cold-bridge (poor design by them). Hope this helps! Please let me know? ❤️👍
Interesting approach, i am wondering why you made a tounge and groove box inside, but no plumbing or electrical in the walls? Normally in a house you lay down under floor heating, hvac, plumbing, electrical and ventilation. Then clad, as this is a sealed system now and sleeping in it your CO2 levels are going to be an issue, sure you can open a window, ok if its 15-20°C but a missed opportunity given a shipping container is robust enough for being submerged at sea.
Hi thanks for your opinion and comment! To answer your question I could ask you to watch next weeks video, but will not do that. I will use a raised floor and internal walls to route everything. First this helps with accessibility (not so experienced, so can correct mistakes), but also enables me to build without an exact plan/lay-out. And second I wanted to have the insulation 100% intact. All in all quite happy with the results! The CO2 comment I do not understand. Can you explain/elaborate a bit? How is this container different than a room in a house for instance. Like to hear what you say, so please let me know! Cheers for the support and comments!! 👍👍🍻
Your own home has ventilation as part of its construction to reduce mold, damp and remain habitable, hopefully your house is not 6x2.5sqm A container is a steel box designed for cargo at sea and you are having 4 or 5 people inside a sealed box. Great for insulation, but a bit like breathing into a paper bag you raise the Carbon dioxide levels above what is normal.
When you keep everything shut yes, then you are right. But why would we keep everything shut? Even in cold temperatures we have windows open, works very well. And added to that we have a heating system that uses the "damp" inside air and blows that out of the box. All in all we are very happy and so is our temperature/home-weather-station, monitors inside humidity as well, always well within normal. Hope this helps and if not, then lets agree to disagree. Have a good day! 👍❤️
Is not the weight a detractor or am I missing something. It would be nothing new if I did. HEHEHE It is so nice you get a straight rectangle to work with. I am doing my RV and EVERYTHING is a different size.
You are right, without insulation a container is terrible inside! With insulation and with the "umbrella" roof it is actually very nice inside 👍👍. Just natural ventilation, no AC needed. And for sure there will be solar, +1000 watts. Have a special idea for that, have a look in next video! Hope to see you then. Thanks for the question and support! 👍❤️

Oh my god! The idea of using foam for the Outbound windows is genius! I was building very heavy wooden frames. I like this a lot!
Oh, Wow, these comments are very nice to get. Thanks! I searched, but did not find it, do you have a TH-cam channel as well?
That’s actually fairly common in Europe. Windows mostly held in place by foam and metal strips at least for brick walls. That probably insulates the windows from the colder stone and heat isn’t transferring. Wood would be a barrier too just heavier I guess
Yep 👍😄 And I did use massive amounts of glue to stick the window to the frame. Indeed foam is for insulation. This just to be sure and I do not get sued for false information or anything 🫣
You’re amazing! I always wish I could have a house like that
Thank you! What is stopping you from building that house? ❤️👍

Why use an ocean container? You took something that was already heavy, 4500 lbs empty, and made it even heavier. Why not just convert a box truck?
I have never considered a box truck. The container just fits my ideas and needs in regards to durability and strength.
A box of a box truck is not really solid, right?

This has to be the thickest walls ever made plus it took away a lot of space. But fear not now these god tier walls could survives an atom explosion, congrats 👍
🤣 loved your comment! And you are right, 7 cm (3 inch) on the thinnest part. But have you ever been in an uninsulated container in the full sun? When you have, then you will know why I did my insulation the way I did 😄👊❤️
Nice to see a robust and practical R.V. that should last for a very long while compared to all those plastic fantastic, leaky builds you get from a dealer. I doubt the bad on this unit will bend and warp like so many R,V's do these days ha ha ha Like n sub.
That is such a great comment! Makes my day, thanks! And you are right, the container has a build-in subframe, very strong. Thanks for your support! 👍❤️
What a great idea it needs more windows, but well done.
Thank you, that is great support! And you are right, more windows (or bigger) would have been nice.
I made this choice based on costs. Doors and windows now cost over €10k, which was quite a lot for me. And over 10% of total costs. 🚚💰💰
In hindsight, 1 window more, would be better.....
What a good start! Have already seen the end result at Col de Guéry France last summer. The yellow box stands out realy well. Hope that you succeed in all yr plans in the near future. Good luck and see you in the Pyrenees someday.
🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴⚪ polkadotman!
Hope to share some stories soon. Next Tour de France we will be at Etang de Lers. Perhaps something to keep in mind. 👍
Will there be a roomtour? It's allways interesting to see how people live in their home on wheels.
There certainly will be. Thanks for asking, just hang on and you will not be disappointed.❤️👍
What do you mean by Relax. It was awesomely brilliant and enlivening.😂
Haha, that is funny!! Never expected that to happen. On the other hand, all these viewers and subscribers, that is quite awesome and brilliant on this side as well 🫣👍🍻
Thanks for the fun comment and support 😄
I guess all your wiring is going to be surface wiring? Where will plumbing be routed? Will gray and black tanks be mounted underneath the truck? It looks like a sturdy build, but heavy too.
@@SuperSushidog Hi, thanks for leaving a comment! 👍❤️
I will build a raised floor. Below that I can do wiring and plumbing. I also use internal walls and the cupboards. No wire or tube can be seen in the end! 🥳👊👍 Check out my next videos there you can see for yourself 😉
Wow, first time I've seen a shipping container build on the back of a truck. Makes perfect sense!!! I am curious as to how you're going to run all your electrical wiring though, so that will be a nice surprise. :D
Thank you for your nice and smart comment! 👍❤️ Next video will surely show how I did the wiring. So I will keep that a "surprise" for next time 🫣😉.
And i guess your comment is linked to the fact that I did not use the walls to run the electrics. And indeed that has been commented by many more. But I think I found a "smart" solution for it. 🤫 I have a second floor.....
Because its on a truck this is the only container home ive seen and think is good
Thanks, yeah we have the container on a truck and that makes it flexible! But perhaps we want to put our tiny home on the ground someday. What makes a container home not good in your perspective? In any way, thanks for sharing your thoughts! ❤️👍
I really like your channel, you have done amazing job all alone. I know that you are traveling already so looking forward to see the next videos!
🥳👍 Thanks for you kind support! We are travelling indeed and plan to make some nice videos on that topic. Hope you will like those videos as well. Is there a specific topic you would like to see?
That was so interesting, I’m looking forward to part two
Thank you! The final part cN be found here; th-cam.com/video/tUiO-QzGME0/w-d-xo.html
And currently I am working on a room tour. Hope to see you there! 👍❤️
What a pity you didn't line the bedroom cladding lines up, it would have looked so much better, however its so nice to see you back publishing videos again
❤️ thanks for your support! Yeah you are right about the cladding alignment! It did not sit right with my "ocd" as well. In next vid, if all goes right, you will see the cover in the corners.... It helps a small bit 🫣
@@uglysjourney look forward to seeing it
What a hard worker and talented one too. 😊😊😊
Thank you! Made me blush 😊😊😊
Great job, looking forward to the next instalment
❤️ thanks for your continued support! 👍 Next video will be live in 2 weeks.
Excellent build, however, one question. Why no pass through to the driver's cab?
Main reason. I wanted to have storage below the bed.
I have not missed it once.
Thanks for asking! ❤️👍
Knap stukje werk hoor, en het eindresultaat mag er zeker zijn. Wij vertrekken morgen weer naar Spanje. Tot ziens 😎👍
Mazzelaars, lekker hoor, geniet ervan! Is alles in NL goed verlopen?
Beautiful workmanship :)
That is such a nice comment! ❤️ Thank you very much! 👍
O cara manja é profissional esse tipo de trabalho não é pra qualquer um não parabéns pelo o video e o canal
Thank you! But to be honest this is all DIY, I have never done this type of work before. It did take me a very long time. 1,5 years fulltime.
It feels like a big compliment, so thank you very much!! ❤️❤️👍
You are a hell of a craftsman.
Thank you but I feel that is way too much honor. Or it is ment being sarcastic, in that case 😄.
Thanks for making me smile! 👍😄
No sarcasm, honestly a really nice job.
Second time you made me smile. You are on fire! 😄💥 Thanks!
what a sick projekt !! Love it !Best Regards from Sweden
Thank you!! Super nice reaction! ❤️🔥
amazing job for original project, i'm now a new follower of your channel, best regards from france.
❤️👍 Merci beaucoup Laurent! Part of the next videos will be shot in France, so I hope it will not disappoint 🤞🤞 see you then!?
Awesome and outstanding.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Love comments like yours! ❤️👍 It motivates. Thank you very much!
Can't wait to see the end of your build ! :)
Thank you! It should be live in 9 days. Hope to see you then 👍🍻
Nice job you are doing keep going the good work
Thank you for your support! 👍❤️
Awesome work my friend. You are FAST!!! Sweet! Soooo, if I bring you my 40' container on a Saturday morning around 7 am, I could pick it up by noon? LMAO
Cheers
Loved it, made me smile bigtime! ❤️ Thanks! Are you really doing a 40ft container? Would love to see that!
@@uglysjourney I want to, but not on wheels. I think what you did (20') is the Apex of a less expensive overlander. Again, Kudos!
So funny that you say that! I am thinking of doing a video where I "compare" my build to the Earthroamer video by Kara & Nate. 🫣😄 Could be fun!
@@uglysjourney Do it!! It will be amazing to show what a good diy project can produce!! I'll be watching my friend. Cheers
In the proces of making it right now. Should be out in a few weeks.
The only issue I have with this build is using a Conex box is the weight. This will impact the milage and suspension as well as the acceleration and breaking. Could have used a lighter solution then a steel box. I understand it is more convent and possibly a little cheaper but still so much heavier than this build needed to be.
Yeah, thanks for your thoughts! And indeed the container makes us about 10% heavier than we could be. I do not think that is much especially when I factor in what it all gives back ❤️👍.
Coming week I will post a comparison video with the Earthroamer SX (same weight class and dimensions). You will be surprised when we compare it 😄😄
That is amazing looking there now
Thanks for both comments! Really appreciate all that support. 👍❤️
Really enjoyed ur video. Great job!! 👍👌💪
Thank you very much for your support! ❤️❤️👍
It is A Master Piece!! Congrats!!

amazing. Huge amount of work! Keep it up!
Thank you! ❤️❤️👍
Fantastic idea, beutiful job! Congratulations!
Thank you!!! ❤️
The insulation can be done on the outside. Why waste the space inside?
Hi Shaun, in my opinion insulating on the outside is a big no-no. Would not even know how one would waterproof it. But perhaps you have an idea or can share a link to a good explanation?
In any way thanks for your support and opinion! Cheers! 👍
It looks like Rotterdam too me. 🥰 (Born in Delfshaven)
Spot on! 💚🤍💚 Rotterdam forever 👍😄
Your very skilled.looking amazing
That is too much credit for my skills, but thank you very much!
I had no experience when I started this build... 🫣👍 Learned a lot in the proces of building a container house on wheels.
People watching. Ur hear to watch a time-lapse not throw a party. Dont like the music then change the channel! Duhhh. Vid was entertaining and informative
Thanks for your kind support ❤️👍.
Понравилось. Очень много дерева. Я бы больше использовал металла.
Привет! Спасибо за ваше сообщение! Да, можно и железом, но я люблю работать с деревом. 👍🤝
10 coffees and I could move like that.
😄😄 would love to see that 👍❤️
Great to see you back 👍😊
Thank you! ❤️ Building and creating videos proved to be a step to far, but I am happy I can now share these 2 video's (1 now and the second in 2 weeks). Feels nice to be back into it.
Met verbazing zitten kijken. Hoe kùn je dit allemaal. Te gek. Ook: ik woonde in dezelfde toren ruim twee decennia geleden. Geabonneerd!
Wat leuk!! Dank je wel voor het lieve berichtje en de support! 👍❤️
Awesome just awesome 👌just subscribed to keep up with your progress 😀
Welcome a board! 👊 Hope we will not disappoint. Thanks for a comment that made me smile! ❤️❤️👍
The weight of that container is nuts. 20ft has a tare weight of 2.5Ton.
Recommend a fridge box with barn doors. Fully insulated dry and thus much less work. But a great little house non the less.
Thanks! 👍❤️ Yeah you are right, container has quite a bit of weight. But can I ask? Do you know the weight of a ready fridge box? Ready; so I can have a terrace on top, a bike back on the back and strong enough for cupboards.
Hope you know so we can do an honest comparison. 👍😄
@@uglysjourney not sure maybe similar in weight but the fridge is fully insulated and the box is wider so that the internal size is similar to an no-insulated box. The roof should easily take a deck as it is a composite roof. Internal curtains are often hung from the roof and they are VERY heavy.
The only roof I would question is single skin or transparent GRP.
Ok thanks!! So weight should be about the same. So the main pro and con is inside space (fridge is bigger) vs outside strength (container is stronger). Only main thing left to know now is the costs. The new container was €10.000 (incl window openings, VAT and paint). I did research (in Covid times) and found new fridge boxes are double that costs. Do you agree?
I really hope that you go back and seal the holes for the bike rack.
Yeah, I understand. And I did seal the holes indeed. Thanks for your support and concern!! ❤️❤️👍
Erg gaaf gedaan. Veel veilig km gewenst👊🏻
Hartstikke bedankt!! 👍
well done, very nice work. here is my question: what is the weight of your container after arrangement?
Hello Yves, thanks for your kind comment and question! 😄
The container will be around 5.000kg, completely filled, incl 600 lit. water.
Are you planning to build something yourself?
👍❤️
Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks!! And you are lucky 😄 next video can be found here; th-cam.com/video/tUiO-QzGME0/w-d-xo.html
Hope you will like it. 👍❤️
Just glue the foam sheets on the sea container then the wood the foam has the compressive strength on the floor it does not compress between the timber it just needs support at the entrance. Same with the walls and ceiling use glue not spray foam they glue aircraft together. Better insulation, cheaper, quicker. Same with the walls and ceiling It is how SIPs structural insulated panels are made and they work well. No need to make little individual ones with poor insulating expensive wood between each small one. Or save the work and just use SIPs it is the same price as the sea container for new panels their are joiners designed for 90 degrees and corners the panels are custom made with no cutting needed. I convert buses so am stuck with the wall and ceiling frame but just add foam and ply to the floor with a strip of timber at the front step thats all, thicker flooring can be used if needed with all the money saved and cupboards attached to it. I use a bus as they are mobile with a cheap permit and stealth if you leave the outside stock none of that applies to a sea contained with holes for windows.
Many thanks for you very elaborate explanation. I understand you refer to "sandwich panels", right? Is a proven concept ofcourse. My issue with that approach was the difficulty of attaching anything to the foam sheets. How would I hang the wood wall cladding?
Hope you have some time for a reaction. In any way thanks for support! ❤️👍
Wow, that's a lot of solar!
Thanks! But it is barely enough for winter time. I would recommend more or additional flexible panels perhaps.
We run a generator once every month or so to top up.
❤️👍
Bravo
Thank you!
Bellissimo questo video bravo 😅😅😅😅
😊😊😊 Thank you 😊😊😊
Davvero magnifico !!!! Bravissimo
Grazie mille!!! 👍❤️❤️
Mein Freund, sauber top Arbeit. Glückwunsch. 😊
Vielen Dank!! ❤️👍
WOW!!!!!!!!!! FANTASTICO!!!!
Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️
i plan on doing a similar build.
Good luck and lots of fun! 👍🚚
bravo.
Thank you! 👍❤️
Wat een werk, erg knap gedaan.
Dank je wel!! ❤️ Superlief!
It’s an OCD thing, but it annoys Me when two lots of Tongue and Groove Boards (as in Wall Panelling around the Bed) don’t align.
Such a simple thing speaks to Bespoke, but misses the point so annoyingly.
Other than that, Excellent Job.
Looking forward to continuation.
Edit:
Didn’t realise it was a complete build series until after viewing this video, commenting and subscribing, hence this Edit.
By the way, My OCD loves the Yellow.
🫣😄 I fully understand what you are saying. It does not sit well with my OCD as well 👍. I put some finishing in the corner, than it does not look that bad, but still.... 🫣.
Thanks for your friendly comment! Love getting them, it motivates. 🍻
Nice, have few questions.
1. Is there housing shortage in Germany?
2. Wont this container house give you a claustrophobic feeling?
3. Do you have to pay municipal taxes for such mobile house?
4. Can an untrained/non engineer person do all these activities?
Apartly I like the device to apply adhesive/gum. It is easy to use.
Hi! Thanks for the questions!
1. We are from the Netherlands and there is a big housing shortage there. In Germany I do not know.
2. No claustrofobic feelings for us, but perhaps for some it might.
3. No taxes, just roadtax.
4. I am untrained and have little to none building experience, so I would say yes😄👍. Just takes a long time.
Thanks for your support! 👊
@@uglysjourney looking at the name on the side wall panels, I thought you are from Germany. That made me to think you were a German. Sorry.
How's the condensation? Boards that are in direct contact with the metal will get wet and grow mold.
Hi Vladd, thanks for your concern! 👍😄 I think you are talking about a cold-bridge. When the difference between inside and outside temperatures is very large. I.e. Inside +20°c, outside -10°c. Then water will form on the inside. Like a cold can of coke in summer.
To prevent a cold-bridge the insulation needs to be thick or good enough. My insulation is good enough for temperatures around -10°c.
So there is no issue with condensation yet. Except 1 point and that is the handle of the Outbound door. That gets extremely wet, it has a cold-bridge (poor design by them).
Hope this helps! Please let me know?
❤️👍
Fantastic job
Thank you! 👍
Interesting approach, i am wondering why you made a tounge and groove box inside, but no plumbing or electrical in the walls? Normally in a house you lay down under floor heating, hvac, plumbing, electrical and ventilation. Then clad, as this is a sealed system now and sleeping in it your CO2 levels are going to be an issue, sure you can open a window, ok if its 15-20°C but a missed opportunity given a shipping container is robust enough for being submerged at sea.
Hi thanks for your opinion and comment! To answer your question I could ask you to watch next weeks video, but will not do that. I will use a raised floor and internal walls to route everything. First this helps with accessibility (not so experienced, so can correct mistakes), but also enables me to build without an exact plan/lay-out. And second I wanted to have the insulation 100% intact.
All in all quite happy with the results!
The CO2 comment I do not understand. Can you explain/elaborate a bit? How is this container different than a room in a house for instance. Like to hear what you say, so please let me know!
Cheers for the support and comments!! 👍👍🍻
Your own home has ventilation as part of its construction to reduce mold, damp and remain habitable, hopefully your house is not 6x2.5sqm A container is a steel box designed for cargo at sea and you are having 4 or 5 people inside a sealed box. Great for insulation, but a bit like breathing into a paper bag you raise the Carbon dioxide levels above what is normal.
When you keep everything shut yes, then you are right. But why would we keep everything shut?
Even in cold temperatures we have windows open, works very well. And added to that we have a heating system that uses the "damp" inside air and blows that out of the box.
All in all we are very happy and so is our temperature/home-weather-station, monitors inside humidity as well, always well within normal.
Hope this helps and if not, then lets agree to disagree. Have a good day! 👍❤️
Is not the weight a detractor or am I missing something. It would be nothing new if I did. HEHEHE It is so nice you get a straight rectangle to work with. I am doing my RV and EVERYTHING is a different size.
❤️👍 yeah weight is a thing, but it is not that bad. And having a box to work with is really nice indeed.
Good start
Thank you! Always nice to get a comment like that! ❤️👍
Great job!
Thank you for taking the time in letting me know! ❤️👍

Container house is hot, u need AC on during the summer plus go solar.
You are right, without insulation a container is terrible inside! With insulation and with the "umbrella" roof it is actually very nice inside 👍👍. Just natural ventilation, no AC needed.
And for sure there will be solar, +1000 watts. Have a special idea for that, have a look in next video! Hope to see you then.
Thanks for the question and support! 👍❤️
