Tight Space Turns into Box Truck Bedroom

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- We are staying in Arizona for a couple of months and the place doesn't have enough room for our family to comfortably sleep. This box truck is giving us the extra bed room that is needed.

This looks like a fine place to lay your head at night.
Looks like a GREAT, cozy, temporary solution to your immediate housing needs.
The Bible says do not despise (scorn or dislike) small beginnings because they produce great rewards and are very valuable and important! Great and wonderful things are in your future, but in the Lord's timing. Enjoy the journey, knowing the good Lord's blessings are upon y'all! I enjoy seeing all your smiles! 😄😄👍
Hello David.
This is going to be fun, or perhaps just “interesting”! My husband and I have many times done odd things like this. It creates memories! I chuckled to myself. You went from a castle to a truck! Best wishes!
😂
Hey, Jesus went from the throne room of Heaven to a manger in Bethlehem. Nothing wrong with humble transitions. 😉 "12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12-13.
I chuckled too- it's remarkable the positivity and faithfulness they show in any and every situation, even in the face of discouragement, or trial, or uncertainty. God's work and grace in their lives and the lives of their family is forefront and beautiful ❤️ Blessings to all!
That is great that your brother in law had the box truck you could use to stay in for a little bit! I am loving all of the new videos you are putting out about your first days in America! 🇺🇸
Right on! Nothing wrong with that !
when the truck is rocking, dont come knocking
Welcome. We're semi drivers. Space is a luxury that needs to be planned out. Our space is like living in a normal size bathroom. Twin beds a dorm size refrigerator and 2 small cabinets. That's it. Had 2 years in Chandler, az on hazmat loads. Brutally hot 118 in summers all day and not much cooler at night. Small spaces can be mentally challenging. But our heavenly father has you and your family in his guidance already. Blessing 🙌
From someone that's been living in a box truck for the past 5 years I'm having a blast it takes time to get the hang of it and to be comfortable, I'm a nomad on the east coast 👍
Plenty nice enough. The carpeting looks great. Keeping you all lifted in prayer as you begin this next phase of your lives.
It looks like Simeon is loving this project. 😊 Always interesting to see all the ways people make do with what they have! ❤
Welcome home, Simeon and Alex! We are so grateful that you are home safely! May Almighty God watch over and bless every step you take!
I think your saga of moving to the United State is going to be very interesting and, often, unexpected. Years later, when your children are grown and on their own, these videos will be something they can share with their kids. Enjoy the time with Alex's parents and brother.
I'm so enjoying watching this transition for you all, as our family is currently doing the same thing in a new state. It's comforting to know we're not the only family adjusting and making due, and that God is faithful to provide for the needs of His children. ❤
That will be a great little retreat for you! Thanks to your BIL!
The weather here right now is perfect for this.
I love the “make do” attitude. Personally I find it a healthy challenge. You all are going to be just fine 💜🦋
Great brother in law, God bless him
Camping without the kids in the front yard. COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Its a great temporary solution. You can have a private area as needed and a coffee maker and even a counter burner for simple things. Maybe have a cooler or small dorm freezer. I wish it had more windows for more air flow. But it’s better then a tent. Maybe a place for the kids to do a study or schooling temporarily, during the day. A great solution for freeing up space and privacy in the home and truck.
Perfect solution for immediate needs. Alex's brother for the win! Memories for sure!!❤❤
I still cant believe you left that first farm. I say that as a person who has desired stability in housing for ten years. I wish you all the best
Keeping a vidwo library of all these things that change your life journey.? WOW ! I never thought that you would leave the first farm you had, I remember the adventures with the Highland cows, and I learned so much from you about raising chickens. You ae my hero! I will keep on following, I know you will SOAR again. Annmarie in Oregon
Simeon and AlexI am proud of you, you just landed and are already homeless! 😊😊
Welcome to America! Many Americans live out of box trucks. ☮️❤️🐾
My first computer had one of those! The cassette was a storage device before the floppy disc! That dates me badly! 😂
How fun!!!
Everything's an opportunity.
And nice to have brainstorming space.
It will be exciting to watch you and your young family as you embark on your new journey.
Schönes neues zu Hause ist es geworden jedenfalls für vorrübergehend. Den alten Kassettenrekorder würde ich nicht wegwerfen!! Ich wäre froh ich hätte sowas noch, die Kassetten hab ich behalten :) Alles Gute für euch, schön das ihr jetzt öfter was teilt. Bin schon gespannt wie es weiter geht!
Alex and Simeon, great start to your new life here in America. You will I am sure look back with fond memories
What a blessing that your brother, brother in law had this available. I get what you’re saying as a family it’s nice to have that living room space for your time together with Alex’s family to catch up.
God always provides in a time of need.
Sending blessings.
Way to go Simeon and Alex on your new bedroom. This is going to be a fund job for you Simeon. Praising God for your little space and for the help of Alex and her dad and Mon, oops and the kids.
Welcome to America, only hope for the best for your new adventures. God is with you always.
It's my dream to have a box truck like that to make into a little nomad home so I could travel a bit and visit family.
You're all so brave, wishing you blessings and the best in U.S.A.!
I love the box truck solution. Simeon you are always very creative. I have a friend who wants to convert a box truck to a tiny house so I'm sending him your video.
That looks like a lot of fun. You do what you need to do.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but you can get mosquito netting that may fit over the entire back area of the truck so you can keep the doors open and get a lot of fresh air before you go to sleep. If you're wondering what I'm trying to mention if you watch Adventure van man's channel Brian has something like what I'm suggesting. Nanas from Central Florida growing in buckets
Nice solution for an added bedroom ❤
Ha ha, now you're vanlifers - sort of. So happy you all are now in the US! The truck/van is a great option for this time. Gives you all a little more breathing room.
Great that you have such great assets as good family and the truck to get settled. You now have the whole winter season where the weather will be great for you. Just make a plan to deal with the heat again starting around April.
Tiny home! Looks great.
Something like Justin Rhodes the Great American Farm Tour. love you.
this will make such great stories in the future when you talk about coming to the states.
God provides 🙏
Congrats ♥️😁👍
Unfortunately now is not the best time to buy land, especially with interest rates going up too. Better get to Tennessee to start looking. IT's great that you got this temporary help with the box truck so you don't have to spend money. Hopefully no busybody neighbor will make trouble for you.
Congratulations on the box truck!
Welcome to America!
Bless you ❤ best wishes!
Nice cleaning job, and I feel relieved with the window vent above! Looking forward to more adventures! Also, how kind of your brother-in-law to provide this for you. ❤
Love the little green pine tree car air freshner hanging on the wall next to the electrical box. Lol 😉
Cheers from Maine.
Blessings to you and your family 😊
Next it’ll be a Skoolie for whole family
Very nice! Yes, agree - creates good memories!
Can’t wait to see what’s next many blessings from North Texas ❤
Keep up the good work. I live in NC so I am looking forward to you heading closer.
Thanks for the update on your new life in America Simeon and Alex ❤❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️.
I’m glad to see you all over here now in the states and I know it’s a big change staying in the box truck for right now but honestly just look at it as an adventure and it won’t be bad at all and it’s just temporary anyway but once you get a few months under your belt,, then the next project will be to look for a farm Before you even know it
Interesting update, we make do, eh?
Thanks, and have a great week!
Hey Simeon and Alex, not bad once cleaned and organized👍.
Good thing you're in Arizona , it's going down to freezing with ice and Snow on the Northeast🥶.
Its great that everyone is joining in to make Mamma and Papas bedroom❣️.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Interesting home:) enjoy the ride Guys!
Very cozy!
From a castle to a box. Lol!
A perfect setup!❤
Arizona the hottest place in th US Maybe the winter will help you
Thanks for sharing 👍
Love your journey
Ooh that's cool! I wonder how long it takes for the youngsters to start moving in with you!
If the truck isn't already equipped with jacks to stabilize it, you might find it helpful to do some kind of blocks or jack-stands. Sleeping in a vehicle can sometimes make you motion sick because as you move, like rolling over in your sleep, the vehicle moves a little bit as well. Not to mention its nicer to be in something that is level.
It's a beginning! I wonder how you will travel around to the east coast. Are you going to get a vehicle and a 3rd wheel to tow behind? Every day will be an adventure now, getting acclimated and making a plan. Will love following your journey.
Nice! Looks like there is even space to put up a closet bar across the back wall. I love the curtains by the doors to give you a little privacy even when the doors are open! Smart! I really hope you all seriously consider Missouri for your next homestead. It's gorgeous & inexpensive.
A lot of their homesteading friends live in NC, so they would be closer to them in Tennessee.
You may need ventilation with the carpet out gassing. Otherwise it’s very nice.
this is very interesting. God bless you!
Sweet! ❤
Awesome interim bedroom, they have those portable air conditioners which may work for “airflow” we have one i would lend you but we are in Tennessee( sorry)!
I was smiling though the whole video! I can absolutely see you fix that box truck up to take it across the states looking for your forever home. What an adventure that would be for you all
Looks like it’s time for a small heater and a portapotty
Couldve sworn i saw that box truck on marketplace. I live on the ither side of the valley in Surprise
Come to Superior, WI! Move here
Even though this is a nice nook for one person, I just can't see them all living in this. I hope that the folks in America can show this young family how warm you can all be and let this family live in something better. If I had a place I would put them up. I would. Canadians put up 9/11 folks that were flying for over a week, You guys can do this for this guy. The US is a huge place with alot of good folks.
As stated in video this is a temporary bedroom for the parents while I Phoenix.
Yay! You are getting moved into the "RV"! 😊
Flexibility during this time!
A beautiful LOVING bedroom. DANKE HERR GOTT und ICH LIEBE DICH FROM SE MICHIGAN welcome. It is WELL ENJOY 💯❤️❤️🌹🛐🛐🛐✝️🀄☕☕👍🌟🙏🌹🥀
❤
You could see so much of the countryside in that. Save money on hotels.
Looks like a nice place!
I pray you never hear the letters HOA. Have a great stay and enjoy legal citizenship.
I bet the kids want to sleep in the truck. Glad you are settling in. At the beginning, I thought "do both of you have to take driving tests" to get a license to drive?
❤️🇨🇦
What about going to the bathroom ?
after this are u moving back to sweeden? is it good to move that much with the children?
No, they plan to stay in the US.
Too small, get an apartment or motel room!!
Nah, it's adding an extra bedroom to the grandparents home. Kids will sleep in the house while they sleep in the box truck in the driveway. Now, they can save all their money while looking for their own home.
Hotel for 6k/month?
And what about the kids?
This is free.
Why America?. All the actual nice places in the world, and you want America?
Because America is where their family is and they want to be with their family they haven't gotten to be with for years. And America is the greatest place on earth! America the Beautiful! 🇺🇸
Please get a job, you or your wife, and save enough for a proper home for yourself and your children. A truck is not an option for living in Arizona. YT money is not enough to get a good start here.
It is only TEMPORARY for just a little bit. Not permanent. They will only be sleeping in it at night. They will be getting a home of their own soon.
They are moving to the East Coast (Tenn I think) come the start of the New Year, so they should be fine sleeping in this box truck until then. They aren’t trying to make a home out of it. And I am sure Simeon and Alex would never not take care of their children, and will continue to take EXCELLENT care of each one of their kids. And as far as making a living goes where youtube is concerned, there are tons of people making a good living off of youtube. God loves you. Jesus loves you and died for you. God bless you always.
What a blessing!
