- Avid surfer, Scott, takes us on a tour of his off-grid box truck tiny home, which he likes to park on one of California's most popular beaches. The inside has everything he needs, including a bedroom, kitchenette, big screen tv, ari conditioning, and a bathroom to rinse off after a long day of riding waves. And the views rival those of the million-dollar homes next door!

OMG! This is the best designed rig I've seen in YEARS. Kudos to you, Sir.
Absolutely Right 👍🤩
I second that!!
Third that... Can't imagine anything to change except for maybe a slight easier set of stairs on the back maybe...
Such a great design and beautiful too
I am impressed with your build and I will say you have everything and yet you have full size furniture and your bathroom is also full size you should make money with helping others with layouts and design best box truck I have ever seen
I've seen like over 500 designs. This is by FAR the best I've seen. Seriously, I could totally live there.
Best House🏠 tiny house buy guad.

@@chriskelly6559then he couldn’t project and play video games on the outter side of the box
You can tell this dude is a former boat dude. The immaculate wiring, the hanging locker going down into the floor, the underfloor storage... Wow. Incredible work sir, great job.
I could tell he was a former boat dude when he said he was a former boat dude.
Beautiful
Most AMAZING BUILD!
You thought of everything, so organized!
no hes not
You don't need to be a boat person to understand that
You can tell how smart he is immediately
Yes, I was amazed at his intelligence and creativity.
I need the blueprints to his home...has to be the BEST studio apartment hidden inside a box truck on wheels I've ever watched seriously
8x18 is 150 sq ft. $65000 for 150 at ft with 7 foot ceiling is over $400/sg ft for a mobil bunk bed. EPA will outlaw it before the Biden Regime ends.
Same. I want to make one
My design is very exact to the box dimensions and the Morgan FRP box. And they are all different. Any builder can copy my build by the video and hopefully custom tailor it to their needs.
wow to think that the nearby houses are going for millions and he's probably even closer to the beach than them 😄
And can drive away if he needed to for his safety
You are right: that view is AWESOME. I never thought of this before this video, but what if the police don't like that he is there, or he gets pulled over: there are many stories here on YT of having vehicles confiscated/towed... it is bad enough if it is your car, but in his case, it is his home. And I don't think the "if you don't want trouble from the police, don't break the law" is a valid argument in 2024... Also, the police seem to be more willing/able to find excuses to search vehicles much more easily than homes. However, depending on the state, it might be a risk no matter if you live in something like this or a house. (not trying to start a fight: just curious what others think...)
And when the cliffs collapse he can just drive away!
@@gotflute123 He knows where he can and can't park, and why would it be towed or confiscated?
The way they're 'sliding' they'll be in 'his' backyard😂
My surf crew met him at San O while surfing. Cool truck. Friendly guy, pleased to meet and know him.
This is a brilliant design for his use. It's got everything you could need for a wonderful time at the beach. His grandson must LOVE beach camping with grandpa!
His boating experience really shows in this design. Actually livable. Also I totally appreciate his idea to limit cupboard space high on the walls, it totally opens up the space. Great job!
I loved that too.
And the next person can add storage without difficulty and won't mind the subfloor storage.
Yes. I wish he sold the plans for it because it's so well designed.
Totally
Also lowers C. G.
Dude is a renaissance man. Excellent craftsmanship and he is a grandpa that surfs, how cool is that? Kudos to this guy!
Surfers are a different breed. My friends dad still surfs pretty much daily at the age of 76. Wind- and kitesurfing, also tought himself to wingsurf last year. Inspirational 😊
Could be wrong, didn't this guy have this truck built for him with his mostly blu prints?
Dude is loaded with money guys
I wish I had it built for me. 9 months is a lot for an old guy. I am somewhere between poor and loaded :)
@@walterwhite1
Perhaps a good steward of his money?
Incredibly well done. Smartest use of space I've ever seen. This guy is a design master.
Every detail of this build is fantastic and so carefully considered. He’s tailored this perfectly to his needs, with maximum efficiency. Retirement goals for sure.
lordy I don’t know which I adore more…this man’s rig, his priorities, or his creative mind.
This man is living many people's dreams. I'm genuinely happy for him
I pray that he lives a long, healthy life in his Box-truck tiny house ❤
I met Scott on this beach 3 years ago on this beach and his truck is amazing! It's so well thought out and he gave me a tour. There is so much storage and it is very nice and comfortable inside. Scott is a friendly guy and if you see him on the beach say hi.
I want to know where he parks! I am in Los Angeles and would love to have a similar box truck. I don’t see trucks of this size or larger parked. I keep asking myself-where would I be able to camp or even park when not camping.
He's given his grandson memories that he will never forget.
sleeping on the floor..lol
It will be his one day...
the under-floor pantry is brilliant.
Rats, roaches and various critters being the problem. And well dust and mold, because it can't be serviced and cleaned.
@@roberts.wilson1848 Rats, roaches and various critters ?????? WTF???
@@buddymccormack8668 +1 Ditto .. Rats, roaches and various critters ?????? WTF??? Hey Robert Wilson, are you high?
A vaccuum hose can fit under there just fine. Mold won't be an issue if he doesn't spill anything down there. Plus the compartments holding the pantry are completely closed off from outside. No bugs or rodents are going to get in there.
@@roberts.wilson1848no more so than cabinets.
This is low key, inconspicuous, and awesome for so many reasons. I Love it, The inside is beautiful too, and this guy did a good job with the functionality.
Back in 2014 when I was watching tons of tiny house/van living videos, I thought about why not use one of those moving trucks. It's cool to see someone do it.
This guy is living the dream, the idea of the storage under the floor is brilliant, it really gives the feeling of openness to the whole setup
Gotta wonder how much gas and maintenance are
@@SAsh-zg6ln
Try living in Canada. It’s almost impossible to pay for fuel, AND RENT. - In BC, it’s $1500.00 and up for a 1 bdrm, 1 bath apt.
▫️
I’d live in that vehicle for the rest of my life!
Id have plenty of cash for fuel with the money I saved on rent.
@@tavenchristensen3157 I live in LA so our rent is insanely high too. 2k for a studio appointment. But depending on how much he drives, I assume he pays over 1k a month on gas and maintenance considering his truck probably gets like 12mpg
@@SAsh-zg6ln
Yes, that vehicle will suck up the petro.
▫️
WOAH… I had no idea that your rent was that high.
-I wonder if it’s that bad in the mid states.
▫️
The average two story homes in BC are charging $2,500. Downstairs, and over $3,000. Upstairs.
Every one is looking for alternatives (tiny homes etc)
We have a lot of homeless now. ( Since 2020.)
▫️
I don’t know what to do anymore.
Only God knows.
-
Take care & have a great day.
@@tavenchristensen3157 ya it seems like every metro city has the same problems. High rent and homeless. Middle states have cheap cost of living but much less corporate jobs. Hopefully things change soon
I'm 53 now. California resident that won't be able to afford a home with the current market. With my retirement THIS is what I would like to do. Those are great little trucks. FANTASTIC build.
All fine until you get tired of looking for parking every day of your life.
better than never owning a home (only a 30 year mortgage at 6.3%) and living paycheck to paycheck. This setup you won't have to work ever. @@janegardener1662
Just pointing out that THIS is NOT what you would like to do.
You want to be able to afford a home. And it's going to get old living in a truck (if that's not what you want).
@record3523 Easier said than done. How do you expect a regular middle class person to do this exactly? Move to a different state? The truth is the cost of living is rising everywhere in the U.S. Want to actually buy an affordable home that looks decent? Save up some money and move to a place like the Philippines, Thailand or Vietnam.
Move to a less expensive state and build your own retirement cabin out of stabilized rammed earth.
1600 sq ft with metal roof, rainwater collection,and minimal energy usage.
You could build the whole thing + land for less than $100K. Make it as self-sufficient as possible. Solar power and batteries have gotten really inexpensive.
I was wondering why it looks so roomy inside, compared to others. Then, he clears it up: no overhead storage. Brilliant! The design is less coffin-like, too.
Thats a term I use often. I want to be able to sit up fully in bed.
THAT's the smile we all need to have... genuine. Live long brother! 🤙🏾
This is the best box truck home I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. It is well thought out, practical, efficient and esthetically pleasing to the eye. Even with windows on the sides, it still feels bright and homey. The in-floor closet is ingenious! Great use of space and storage.
I know , totally brilliant
Hello how are you doing today
This build is luxury and the price reflects it. Box trucks can be built out for far less if you live more simply. Check out Adventure Van Man
@@williammcneill2753 This wasn't a contest for how cheap you can live.
I didn't build it to save money. I built it to get what I wanted and was not available on the RV market. Old school. A word of advice. What ever you think you can build it for, double it. However long you think it will take, triple it.
I’ve toured this vehicle in person and the craftsmanship and care is so impressive!! Woot woot we love you papa Scott!
@@Ele-zs4by With cash when he wants to build something else. Just wow.
@@NoisycowonlineThis was funny!😂😇
How is the air inside with the cedar paneling ? I wonder can you smell the cedar scent ,it is supposedly a lung irritant ,so I was wondering how it is to sleep or stay inside without an open window or air flow through . It looks great ,especially the floor storage & smell proof toilet. I have damaged lungs do to a work accident and have to take air flow & scents into account, as not to trigger an attack. The salty air is good , we stay on the EastCoast but a build of our own would giv us more freedom to choose , each item that goes inside. Not looking to stay more that a week and change a month.
only the lot lizards he pays nightly call him papa.
Brilliant Engineering and design! !!!! ❤️❤️❤️.. Apex Craftsmanship 💥💖💥
the attention to detail is far better than most "professional" RVs
Underfloor storage. THAT. THAT!! THAT IS PURE GENIUS!!!!
I'm a truck driver so i been into commercial framing all my life. I have to say wow! I'm blown away!
This dude is goals!! $65k all-in, 100% electric, super-roomy, slick storage & best view in the nation. He's figured life out for sure.
Nice work, poor value
@@EstebonSosa Mmmhmmm quite the 1 upper
Just wanted to clarify: the "truck" is not all electric. Only the fixtures in the box are. He shows the main diesel tank at 3:12
65k... hmmm. For 85k, I have 2 acres on the outskirts of town... 2000 sq ft. And a 30x40.... Trump era interest. Couldn't imagine living in a truck. To each their own.
He lives in a location that doesn't require him to use Air conditioning, 1 A/C unit draws over 1000 watts, he has 2. It would last about half hour or less before he's plugging into a generator. I recently bought a 3000 generator and wont even start some A/C units cause it takes so much power on start up. He probably sits outside at the beach most days and only watches TV when it's raining. The solar keeps the fridge going. I like his set up, I mostly run 2 High end desktop computers all day, power draw, would need a full array of solar panels like a satellite. lol
By far one of the best designs I have ever seen!!! With such limited space!! This Man is super creative!! I love it!!!!
A revelation.... incredible ingenuity...floor storage/no overhead cabinets...well thought out.... one of the best van/box truck videos I've seen.
If I was President of the United States I would put this guy in charge of something. I don't know what exactly, but something.😂
Such as to solve the homelessness problem
Financial adviser he will put the economy back where it needs to be ❤
That’s the problem now, the system is involved in everything. Find a private sector to help people out.
@NomadSupreme911
I agree. Maybe he could work in an educational capacity teaching junior high and high school kids a trade.
More and more kids are not attending college and/or University.
You make him vice president
This is without a doubt the cleanest and best set up I have ever seen in my life.
@6:36 "...and of sunglass storage". Of course. The details, wow. Everything in this vehicle is perfect. Well-made video, too!
The design of this home is superb. It's so functional and it reminds me of a really nice hotel suite.
Dude!! All I can say is.. WOW!.
40 years in the building trades. I’ve seen and worked on a lot of high-end projects. I’ve also done architectural millwork and finishing, electrical, machine and tool repair, electrical and electronics… musician, mixing consoles, live and studio engineering, it goes on and on. All my years there are a number of things that have stood out… This has been added to that list. And not just this, but the fact you’re enjoying what I imagine is your retirement.. Well done. Well done 👍
Probably the only box truck that I would consider living in. I like the wide open feel and getting the air in through the windows. Toilet set-up is best I've seen.
Going to switch to a electric boat toilet. My guests are lame.
The level of coolness here is blowing my mind. Cool dude, cool setup, cool lifestyle.. just.. wow.
Scott you created a magnificent home. I cannot imagine one single thing you overlooked. IT is incredible actually and a warm lovely and convenient home. I loved it. And your ingenuity throughout the build shows, Gold Star Workmanship. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home. Congrats on the work done, ideas, innovations and in the end, homieness and comfort. Superb!
Thank you.
“What a beautiful tiny house-truck. I could definitely live in this. I’m secretly a little jealous because you’re traveling in a way I don’t have the courage for. Hats off!
Be happy
You're actually envious, not jealous.
It truly is one of the best i have ever seen for a great cost.But if you have never lived in a vehicle there are some issues that most people cant get over. I did it for a year to save money to travel.
The big one is parking. It can be a super drag,depending what city/area you are in to find a place to sleep at night where you dont have to worry about crime or nosey neighbours. The moving around gets to a lot of people.
@@krimpoo As someone who's been a nomad for 13 years it takes a certain type of personality, minimalist, loner (not to be confused with anti-social, just self sufficient and not needing a large group of friends/family near at all times). As with all things there's good and bad, I am an urban nomad with a stealth Ford cargo van, zero problems with police or businesses running me off but have had 4 attempts of people trying to steal my catalytic converter, twice in Biloxi, MS, once in Garland TX, once in Irving TX, it's what happens when they don't know someone is inside. I bought a welder and cut up some bed frames found on the side of the road, welded the pieces to my exhaust system (resembles a dragons tail now) and no attempts for 3 years now. The only thing about this build that I'm not a fan of is that he has no direct access to the cab, if someone wants to steal the truck there's little he can do except go along for the ride.
That is more luxurious and more spacious than most luxury RV's for a fraction of the cost literally. I love it!!
and better built!
I was surprised by the $65k. And I'm in "cheap" cincinnati.
I think this is the best conversion I have ever seen, and I have watched hundreds of these videos.
Absolute genius. This gentleman has raised the bar on space efficiency…and ergonomic design. Excellent job sir. Just WOW!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
You know it's a GREAT design when the tiny home dweller declares it finished, complete, done, and nothing to add!
He didn't say it's finished. He's finished. He is old and tired. At the end of his strength. It is good enough
At the end there he says if the truck is lost, then he's living in a tent, not gonna build another one.
I lied. Just added a second stereo over my bed, Added a 28 ' tall cell booster antenna. And a few other small things. It does work perfect for what it was designed to do. I do not like building anymore. I'm to old for another 9 month build.
As it's been stated already this is one of the most impressive builds I've seen in years. Literally thought of everything, didn't cut a single corner and utilized absolutely all the space he could. Phenomenal work!
absolutely fantastic. probably the best tiny house I've ever seen. He has a lot of genius features.
This is on of the most comfortable designs i have seen. Floor storage opens up head space and feels more like house than RV. Really like it.
Probably the most livable "mobile home". I've ever seen. Well done!
WoWzers. I agree, the best layout and setup I’ve ever seen. Great job, you are living the like Scott.
This genius ! I’ve been Rv traveling for 5 yrs. This is one of the best designs I’ve ever scene ! Great job
Disgustingly cool. And I mean that in the best of ways. He has thought of just everything. It looks very efficient and cozy.
Love your comment! I wholeheartedly agree😊
did he say that there was A WASHER under the sofa 🤦♀️ I’m in love 😂🤣
He skipped over that pretty quickly. I wish he had shown it better.@@ej3016
I am too, with the build and his style!
Hello how are you doing today 😊
Floor storage is brilliant , so cabinet doors don’t fling open and centres the weight, best design I’ve seen🎉
There ar 4 floor storage bins inside. The one under the flip up table is for tool storage. The one by the door is deep and holds 2 guitar amps for the outside theater and mixing board. The outside floor drawers are 8' long. + a small one for sunscreen, surf wax, and extra fins.
This is the best tiny house i ever seen since the 1th video i saw about the movement.
Amazing!
The underground storage is next level - love your design and pursuit of individuality
That build is absolutely perfect for him. Tailored to get the most out of his lifestyle. Amazing and ingenious.
I could adopt it as is no problem and I don't surf.
U should see me live in my 95 honda civix
This guy knew what he wanted and built it. Very nice!
As a person that drives box trucks for a living right now I appreciate this, this is definitely the coolest box truck I've ever seen
This is a very unique build, i love what hes done. Hes taken many elements that i personally love about tiny homes and combined it all into one fantastic build. Incredible work sir
WOW! IMPRESSIVE! COMFORTABLE! Everything you need. Thank you for the tour.
By far THE BEST small home I’ve EVER SEEN! I hope this guy is generous enough to share the blueprints so others like myself can potentially build this for themselves.
Same
My design is very exact to the box dimensions and the Morgan FRP box. And they are all different. Any builder can copy my build by the video and hopefully custom tailor it to their needs.
Nicely done! I love that it's stealth too! You hit a home run with this build!
wow, a perfect example of walking into this project with pockets full of experience. he threw out 'cedar-lined', 'recessed lighting', 'triple switches' and 'emergency lighting system' like it was nothing.
Seriously dude, one of the best tiny house designs I've seen.
When you lift it up that floor panel and show that pantry I was thoroughly over impressed❤❤
This was SO satisfying to watch. So well thought out and executed and yes, the wiring. 🤩
This has to be one of the best RV innovations I’ve seen out of many and perhaps cost effective, too.
This guy is a genius. Well thought out, beautifully designed, functional use of space.
Wonder if he was an engineer?
This would have to be the most well thought out, versatile and comfortable self contained RV I have ever seen. Well done that man!
I've seen a hell of a lot of these builds on TH-cam over the years, my favourite lunchtime videos, and I can say without a doubt - this is easily the best one I've ever seen. Some of these homes on wheels I couldn't see myself living in. This one, absolutely 0 complaints.
I drove the same box truck, and never thought of the possibilities, AMAZING 🎉
Man that's schmick and what a cool guy. It obvious that many years of experience and knowledge have gone into designing that truck. What and inspiration and possibly the coolest grandad ever.
This is by far the coolest conversion ever, you are so smart, you have everything you need, it's beautiful and brilliant!! Nice job, stay safe, God bless
Very cool. He's got it figured out. Good for him. Also good for inspiring others and showing a solid alternative.
Best build out ever ! I’m glad people are coming up with creative solutions
That’s the best one yet. So simple yet so thought out…
The thought and construction that went into this is amazing. It is brilliant.
Those who have the cash and then those who don't. Better to store your treasure in The Kingdom of God.
@@domenicv7962While that is very true, we all need a place to live until Christ's return
Ummm this is a freakin masterpiece! I love how he thought of a space for everything and it provides all the needs of a normal home! Absolutely beautiful!
You can definitely see the influence of his boat building with this truck. Great job.
I'm glad to see someone surviving and doing what they want. I wish him well!
Most beautiful rig. Dude enjoying life at the fullest. U have it all. Enjoy every moment and young enough to still enjoy surfing!
Man, this is by far the best set up I've ever seen. And to have never been plugged in, WOW! 😮
had this idea and was quite surprised i havent seen it earlier as i was researching a bit the scene. Very encouraging to see it running..
Wow! Amazing works. This gentleman is great planner. He can utilize every inch of space fitting exactly what he wants.
I love how he has the guitar etc. In glass and the glass in the bathroom door. The under floor storage is awesome.
Wow, so carefully thought out. And raising the floor for storage underneath was pure genius. Great job, Scott!
That electrical work is immaculate. Love it.
Amazing, so well planned, beautiful, well thought and the owner is a cool dude with a great life. I love it!!
The floor pantry with sliders is absolutely amazing! Very impressive, as is the whole build.
I've watched hundreds of RV & van life videos. This build is my favorite by far!
I really like the security of using a box truck. The interior design is Awesomeness!!
It would take nothing to rip the wall right out if you wanted to.
The box is not aluminum like most are. it is FRP= 3/8" plywood sandwiched between fiberglass. Pretty solid.
❤ This the most beautiful and well thought out design, both functionally and aesthetically. This is the way to live in a mobile style. Just perfect!
THIS is the best designed, most open-feeling rig I've ever seen. Excellent job.
The microwave under the bed is the one thing I couldn't live with, but the rest is amazing, even has a washing machine. Love it! 👍👍
I guess it depends how much you microwave stuff but yeah, it isn't very practical there but was probably the only place it would fit.
If it results in a worthwhile space benefit, I'd happily live with it.
Beats no microwave every time.
It is the only place it would fit. It is only one step from the kitchen. It does seem to bother some people. Not me.
Well, thank God it’s not your problem since this tiny home has zero to do with you
@@michaelax3025 You realize the TH-cam comments section is for making comments right? Why so triggered?
Amazing! I’m going to do this one day. The feeling of pride this man must have is off the charts! Thank you for bringing us this awesome inspiration 😎
Loving this no nonsense approach. For less than the price of a new bullcrap pick up truck he has a home & no bills to go with it.
WOW, I''ve been looking at special builds for years, but Scott you are pretty amazing. You've got more tricks up your sleeve than a Las Vegas Magician! Great work/design! Great video!
This has to be one of the smartest setups if seen so far. floor storage is so brilliant. Incredible build!!
Holy cow, I usually just enjoy watching these videos without commenting but this one I think is the BEST design I've seen yet. incredible and genius job by Scott. Very well done
Scott, that is one fantastic truck you put together and it being off grid really speaks for its self.. Great Job Done!!..
This is incredible. I want that life and that home. My goodness. It's perfect
