  • Mike has spent years traveling the world in custom overlander rvs, and he has perfected the art of converting vehicles to tiny homes. This is his 3rd overlander tiny house, and it happens to be a retired military truck that he's modified into a modern and surprisingly spacious home on wheels.

    Wow. I was all set to have a negative impression but was blown away with not only the amenities, but the execution, technically as well as artistically. And the layout is just as we'd do it, big kitchen, good size bathroom and desk. Only two niggling issues. I would have combined the shower and toilet into a wet bath to save space, but your execution is first class. Then the bike rack in back cuts down on exit angle. Again, a small issue and we wouldn't rock climb with our RV either. What I love most of all is the money saving ideas so tastefully done. The cab insulation for example looks OEM.

    This is my favorite I think I’ve seen so far. I was totally not expecting the inside to look so warm and inviting. I love everything about this truck tho. I think I’d feel very safe in it. The only thing I think i wouldn’t like is that you cannot access the driver part from the back. You have to go outside. As a woman I wouldn’t like that. I’d want to be able to move if I felt unsafe and get out without having to go outside…but this vehicle just looks safe and it’s awesome and beautifully done.

    My wife and I had a very similar solar/Aircon setup on our last rig and just in case anyone is curious, those little window units take very little power. I picked one up at Walmart for $150 so yeah, I agree they're a great solution and if it ever fails (they rarely ever do) you can easily afford a new one and there are Walmarts everywhere. It wasn't mentioned in this video, but we could run ours on 425 watts of power, on high cold (full blast) and since we had 1,200 watts on the roof it never even drew anything from the batteries. There was enough power left over that we could also run the microwave, watch TV, etc. all day long AND keep the batteries fully charged. We didn't start tapping into that reserve battery power until a couple hours before sunset but had plenty of juice to keep powering everything in the rig until around midnight every night and still had about 20% to 25% on the batteries by morning which with lithium is still well over 12 volts but then the sun comes up and begins charging them back up. Rinse and repeat. A decent-sized solar setup with lithium batteries is one of the best investments you can possibly make with an Overlanding rig. It's expensive at first, but SO well worth it!

Just leave the one attached for your use! Otherwise, it seems like a real home, because nothing is lacking, and it looks so secure that he never has to worry about staying safe!

    I lived in vehicles for more than half my life, and enjoyed it, but I sure wish I could’ve had some of the creature comforts that we now take for granted. Lithium batteries and efficient solar are such a game changer.
