Self Converted Box-Truck Turned Tiny Home

Their Social Media LInks:

VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

Jimmy's tiny home on wheels is built out of an old UHaul truck, and it's an impressive example of ingenuity, hard work, and perseverance. Inside, you'll find all the amenities of a modern home, including a dual zone fridge/freezer combo, a deep sink, a microwave, and plenty of counter space.

The bathroom has a sink, a Nature's Head compost toilet, and a full shower. And although Jimmy has never used it, a beautiful wood-burning stove adds a cozy touch to the interior. The main seating area faces a massive TV monitor and a pop-up table for dining or working. The ceiling and walls are covered in stylish bamboo flooring, and the bed is elevated for added space.

The exterior of this tiny home is just as impressive, with substantial storage boxes and spare tires mounted above the cab. He even installed a recycled RV door for added character! And with 800 watts of solar power, you can enjoy all the comforts of home while being completely off-grid.

Clean and sober for 10 years! This guy really looks like he turned his life around. Glad to see it brotha. Awesome build

[Envoy_Intuition]

"This is my fireplace, I haven't used it!" Love that line delivery 😂

[Empresslockness]

That bathroom sink drain into the shower is genius!

[maryfolks]

Congrats on your sobriety, I've just celebrated 5 years clean and sober. Great job on your build, love it!

[marisgoldenhour]

Finally seeing a bathroom sink that is at a reasonable height to avoid hunching over. And genius idea to have the bathroom sink pipe run to the shower to drain.

[benbaker]

Love how open clean and uncluttered it feels with no cabinet doors or plumbing. I love your innovative thinking.

[ramblinjudy]

I would like to first say Congradulations on your 10 year clean, God bless you and look what you also accomplished. 🙏🎉🎉 we are so proud of your minute by minute preservation (at times), and we will pray for a long clean life .your rig is great and your dad helping on the plumbing super. Lots of love to you and your family, and wish I had your build myself 👍🥰👏

At last a conversion for minimalists. So many have every space chock full of stuff or storage cabinets for more stuff. I love this truck.

[carlapierle]

Congratulations on getting and staying sober and on getting a good job! I wish you the best and hope you find a good buyer for your beautiful home on wheels.

Great idea using those metal utility shelves like that! If you installed them upside down, you might not need bungee cords because there'd be a built -in lip on the shelves. 💡

[barbcosgrove]

You did an outstanding job building this and kudos to you for your sobriety 🙏🙏🙏.

[monicaavalos]

You mentioned going to Sacramento for parts. If you're in the Northern California area, during the winter, early spring time- head out towards Donner Summit/Truckee area for a weekend. You'll be able to use your fireplace out there. Great build and congratulations on your 10yr sobriety!

[nancystrickland]

I really love what you did with the stainless steel shelving. Really nice build.

[jason]

First congratulations on your sobriety. That is one of the simplest nicest THOW that I have seen. Minimalist and everything needed for everyday life. I’m so glad to see you made space for a toilet and shower. Awesome Build

[cindychurch]

So proud of your being clean and sober. Taking care of yourself. Making good decisions. Love your build out. Very pretty, spacious and uncluttered

[EyeofHorus]

I so agree with you! Nothing better than having a comfortable shower to refresh with either first thing in the morning or after a long day of work! Most important part of the build for me. Nice comfortable build! Congratulations on being over 10 years sober!

[JonniD]

You should be very proud of that awesome rig and of overcoming your past struggles! 👍👍Best of luck in your future!

[meggggg]

I think everyone commenting negatively about the build is forgetting what the whole lifestyle is about! I think it's great and love that it's unique from most others!

[sheilabundren]

You never know, you might need that wood stove one day. Thanks for sharing.

[lindamarie]

10 years clean is awesome! Love the box-truck, it is so cool! By the way, who needs head room for a bed, right?
