  • 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!

      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...)

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.

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.

      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.

      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.

      I can tell you, I've watched thousands of these build videos, from manufacturers to diy, and diy turned professional. I also regularly complain about the high-cost and cookie-cutter design of builds. I've seen people living in Teslas, a student who managed a BATH (beautifully done) in a car the size of a Subaru, studied Sam Shapiro's vision for the modular approach to conversion, etc. I'm sure you understand the point. This build solves every pet peeve I have. I thought I might have caught him on a safety issue, as the box cannot access the cab, which is a serious fire hazard in the back. But his shower hatch window offers escape :) Just a gorgeous and brilliant design, altogether. The electric system is pristine. Those windows! This build is a huge "Wow!"
