VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This family of five stepped out of their comfort zone and now lives full-time in a 1998 Military Stewart and Stevenson. This self-converted tiny home isn't so tiny with massive tires, two 12ft slide-outs, and 2600 watts of solar. They can comfortably be off-grid for eight days with a total of 105 gallons of fresh water, a diesel heater, and extra material stored in the trailer they tow.
A convenient passthrough connects the cab to the living space for easy access. The kitchen has a residential four-burner stove/oven, a decent fridge, and a dining table that suits the entire family. The lighting was essential to keep this monster rig bright, so they installed several large windows and overhead skylights. Spending a total of $80,000, this family doesn't regret a dime paid for the reward of quality time and new adventures!

I feel bad for the kids having to live their parents dreams. I'm sure its fun for the first week, but they're missing out on experiences like friends, parties and social interactions with kids their own age. Home schooling sucks.
I saw that they had New Mexico stickers inside. Out of state residents can get a New Mexico state pass for $220.00 a year. It allows you to stay for free at any NM state park, which by the way have showers, bathrooms, trash service, dumpstations and park rangers, and some even have play parks too. Alot of the parks close their gates at sunset, which I feel is safer than BLM land. If you want water and electric, they charge you $4.00 a night.
Wow great advice to them.
Great!
Laundry?
What is BLM land?
@@TacksofallJrades BLM land is short for bureau of land management. It's government owned land that you can stay at for free. If you Google BLM land maps in the USA, it will give you exact locations. Alot of these lands are right outside state parks, but some of them can be out in the middle of nowhere. You just drive in, pick a spot and park there. There are no amenities and you cannot leave any trash behind. It's a good option if you don't have anywhere else to park and camp or if you just want to save on overnight fees. But it is open land.
Pretty cool but no privacy for mom and dad for hmmm...? That seems like a pretty major downside.
They probably woohoo when the children are out playing or something. I'm sure they find a way lol.
Well there is that "extra" trailer.
Exactly my thought! Nice build but zero privacy 😩
I was about to say the same thing
@@-...Patricia...- ew, the son sleeps there!
I love seeing families thinking outside the box and doing things like this, that truly are for the betterment of their family unit. We've all been deceived to think what is "normal". So glad they were in the financial position to do this :)
Yes, and thank you internet to give us all these inspiring project available for anyone.
Yesssssss
What's the story behind your name?
easier to do when you are a millionaire
@@Flat_Earth_AddyThis 80K mobile house is exponentially more affordable than the 200k+ house my family lives in now. 200k is also on the lower end for a decent house for a family of four. So your point is null.
I saw a family of 5 in a Class A and it was way better. This can only go 50 mph, not a proper shower or toilet, poor awning setup and TWO vehicles. Not great and super awkward
"affordable". Are you kidding??
How much will the rig depreciate over the years? Won't it be difficult if you ever decide to buy a home again having spent your house sale proceeds on the rig? Curious as to insurance costs. Since it is a very solid build is insurance cheaper or more expensive because of it's size etc?
I imagine it will depreciate quite quickly once that charred wooden panel next to the gas hob (1:10) catches fire.
This is best truck conversion I've ever seen. What a beautiful family too. Xx
Love the whole rig ...great craftsmanship .former military ( Viet Nam) Love the big ol military trucks!!
A ton of fun to drive 👍
Cool family and an awesome project. All the best to you and thank for sharing!
I would have liked to see the oldest son's space in the trailer better
Did they show it? Seems like I missed it
Great build and a really smart way to be with your family with all the craziness going on in the world!!
Thank you Tiny Home Tours and Brian for making such a great video of our family and Bart the overlander! And thank you to all of you who subscribed and will follow along our adventures! 😊
Do you continue the adventure?
@@rom.adventure we sold Bart, but are continuing the adventure! Just a different kind of travel!
These slide-outs and all those windows really make for a nice living space. It looks very nice!
This is the most beautiful truthful and real episode I've seen!! Thanks for being soo educational!! "It's not vacation 24/7 you have to work at it" .....Soo Wise!! Thanks, Guys
No bringing girlfriends and boyfriends home I guess
Your living my dream. I love your beautiful home on wheels. I wouldn't need as much room as it would only be 3 of us. I hope that I can retire to RV living before I get to old to really be able to enjoy it. My only con is the toilet situation lol but its not enough to change my dream. Enjoy life and living it your way 👍❤
All is so practical and well organized in this truck and trailer. Splendid ! Great to see.
Whilst this seems cool, and the house is nice, I find it odd that they're comfortable just living off what they sold their house for and using up all their savings... what happens when it runs out? what happens if there's an emergency? you do you, but it just seems like a weird decision to just use up all your savings with no source of income.
What an incredible home! I really REALLY need to hear things like "get out of your comfort zone" and "anyone can do it" because, in my world with my family & friend, I'm the black sheep of the family. No one in my life gets why I want to live full-time in an RV w/ my kids, other than my kids they're so on board for it.
I live in a small town, on an island, in Alaska; it doesn't get much more remote than this :P My kids are the 4th generation in my family to be born in our hometown; my kids and I have never been off the island to the mainland for anything other than medical appointments.
It's my goal to find a way for us to see new incredible things before I'm too old to do it. An RV made perfect sense to me so we can travel to more than one place w/o needing to pay as much for food & lodging.
I'm also a widowed mom of 4 so money has always been the biggest obstacle, 2nd is the fact that we don't have stores like Home Depot, Lowes, IKEA, or same-day delivery options anywhere near me; probably not anywhere in AK.
So, my plan is to use reclaimed materials as much as possible and not let my family's negative outlook get to me.
That's why I watch so many of these tiny home videos, they are my inspiration! The people we see truly make me believe I can do this! My family's opinions are my motivation to prove them wrong heh
Go for it
Only thing not sure about bunk for older son as dad mentioned trailer was also for things you wouldn’t want in the rig or things that smell, not sure that’s the best place for the young man. Otherwise all looks good. One commenter mentioned they have since sold the rig. If so hopefully they got a good return on their investment.
I can't fathom why the parents didn't have a separate bedroom in such a large rig. So if they sold it, that's a good thing
Boys smell!!
Obviously, he smells! 😂🤪🤣😷
The mum & dad are so realistic which is good to hear!
I like it but I could only live there with one other person and a fixed shower. Very nice rig though!
I'm guessing all in with truck and materials they are all in at a total of $180,000+.
Yeah
You mean $800,000
Things are much easier when you are organized. This lady does what I always dreamt of being. Being organized is the foundation for success. Thank you for giving me ideas that I can use immediately to my kitchen organized. I wish you and your family the best and that you stay safe and healthy.
15 yrs ago I had an operation on my hip that left me unable to work but left me in pain 24/7 and taking two types of morphine to cope with it but being able to be there and see my 4 kids and the wife fulfills me so much just to be with them.
Would have loved to have been able to have experienced something like what you guys have tho. Take care guys
You had to go through operation for which illness?
@@nazishs.8327 I tour the cartilage in my hip and they had to remove some bone to straighten my leg.
Completely agree… your family is your most important assets ❤
Really cool, but I have a question... Where can you go without leaving no "foot print" or without destroying wildlife ecosystems. It looks like it can run over anything. Is that what it's made to do? "Go where nobody has gone before"?... Or do you stay in State designated areas. It's just a bit confusing if you wish to live a nomadic life....
These war machines have to be ramped down a lot, to meet environmental and ecology standards. Engines have to be replaced with less powerful engines to just get them able to be registered. I just read where they already sold this.
Amazing….love the whitewashed wood and sky lights, and the slides make it not too squished. And I think likely better than a standard RV, where you never quite know of its quality underneath, or “whatever looks nice and works for a few years.”
It is clear that she loves her husband and he seems to be agood one. Nice family
During this phase of their lives this family thought to live in this way ,but maybe after sometime they would like to live again as usual ,within a old-fashioned ordinary house, built on ☺ soil,as ordinary people.But its a fact that , people don't need big houses to reside.A lot of prayers for the video makers from Raawalpindee, Northern Province of Punjaab, lslaamic Republic of Paakistaan, South Asia.
Rich people living dumb when there kids cld be in a house and neighborhood growing up around friends. This is the kind of life you live before you have kids or after there grown and not be selfish makin there kids live this life year around. It’s okay for a yr or so but opinions are like assholes everybody has one and that’s mine 😂
What a lovely home on wheels
The children's bunk beds are great. What memories this family is making.
Stay safe on your journey.
Epic build guys well done!
Zero privacy....
Selfish parents making there kids live there lives alone on the road in a vehicle move back and get a house and do this during the summer or after your kids are grown it’s okay for 6m to a yr but you have so much money into this that you won’t ever recoup it like you would have from a house
I’m feelin that whole “get out of your comfort zone” philosophy. God Bless U all, safe travels, & thanks for sharing. 🙏🏿
You just posted this and they sold the rig in November, two months ago. They don’t even own it anymore!
The video was shot in March 2022. But it took Tiny home tours a while to edit and have the video ready for upload! In the mean time our plans changed and we sold.
@@5TonsofDiscovery took them almost a year? wow
@@darreldavid4653 yes! They have A LOT of videos backlogged! Good for them I guess 😀
How stupid, to use the equity of the house they sold, by not working. That is the impression that they gave. Not a very stable life for school age kids
I had friends that did a similar thing but moved on to a sail boat, one kid ended up going to Yale, the other studied in Paris and did research for the UN after.
Great looking rig/home. 👌 Thank you for sharing. The mileage sent Shock waves thru my mind at 5MPG
Absolutely awesome
Get out of your comfort zone. Be flexible about your expectations. & LOVE God & your neighbors❣️
I want a rig like that. Nice
Not for my family, we love privacy, but if it works for you 👍
I see you state you store stuff in your trailer that you said smells. So is your son exosed to that. I can't imagine the work for the wife. Cooking in such a small space. I hope the family doesn't do anything until you all help with dishes. What an adventure for kids. Nice work!
Would love a rig like this. But did he say 5MPG? Ouch!
Great video, thanks for sharing, can I ask where your eldest son sleeps?
He had a bunk in the trailer!
First time I’ve ever heard someone say how much tires cost, and I’ve watched builds for 5+ years
Oh my god yes please 😍
Awesome! This is exactly the RV of my dreams. I'm just curious, if you need pulling permit from DMV since you added two slide-outs and it changes the safety of the vehicle.
Since we built the box from scratch we just needed to have it all weighted by the state and then registered it as a motor home with dmv. Every state has different rules and regs when it comes to doing something like this. 😊
Genius build. Those 12ft slideouts are amazing!
Kids bunker 😒😒
Yeah the privacy part is a problem. But other than that it's a fantastic rig. Great ideas for the problems you faced.
She adores him. I’m following them. Love what they are about.
❤️🌎
Totally awesome 👌
The oldest sons area feel like an afterthought, but I like the truck, nice build
'affordable' at only 80k 🤣
Did I missed where the older boy slept? I could have been daydreaming. I love the girls name, as it's also mine.
He has a bunk in the trailer! SO fun to hear of another Estelle!
It's a beautiful home and very well done video. Best of Luck to you!
I love the home and the family! Blessings and great job!
Well done.
Where is the mom from? Slight accent. Spanish?
French Canadian, from Quebec.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 WOW 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's always interesting seeing the different ways people create tiny living. But I am curious. Are you full time on the road and traveling? If so, How do you overcome the kids not having a consistent set of friends, or social interactions?
We are full-time traveling. We were on the road for 18 months and took it to another level recently and went overseas! I don't think our kids miss anything in the aspect of social interactions, as we meet a lot of people on our travels. Our kids have learned to relate and interact with adults very well, which I think is something missing in our society. In terms of constant friends, we started this journey as the pandemic was underway, so that had already changed the friends interactions quite a bit. We also know there will be a time for us to "settle" for the kids sake. And they have good friends back in our former home area that we will connect right back with when the time comes!
Not sure how I missed this. Ray and his family are great people!
This is a great video, but I was very dissapointed to learn that this family had sold "Bart" months before this video was piublished here.
Looks like a great way to raise a family. Travel around,home school better than sending your kids to a public school. They also be saving a ton of money from taxes and insurances of all kinds.
I really love overlanding and alternative living.
But to be honest.. this downgrade.
80.000$ for that.
They sold the truck in March 2022 ? How can it be to put up now this video ? Please let us know what happened. Thank you
Hello Catherine
This is an RV, not a tiny home.
A home is a building on the ground, not a vehicle.
RV stands for recreational vehicle, an in a vehicle where you can also live full time.
Gablesyu or family.
Genius build.
so much for their future with investment. The entire build is a liability. No equity here.😢😢😢
Happy family happy life ❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love your home on wheels! No matter what it cost, I believe it is worth it. Just think of all the memories you guys are making. Plus you're getting a chance to really see this country, from the north to the south, all the changes of weather, and that is priceless. I believe this new home of yours if going to bring your family even closer, and I hope you enjoy every mile you spend on the road. God bless you and keep you, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 😊
One downside is that the children don't have the ability to make lasting friendships with other children or people. I suppose they will eventually settle down in one location so that the children can build these relationships.
I couldn’t understand what she said for their RUclips page. What is it?
Love your Beautiful Home. It's awesome. The kitchen Is Where I'm happy making Real food and Baking from scratch. Thank you for sharing your Home. Happy And safe Travels.. The whole Rig WOW.
I’m not sure i would want to spend a lot of time cooped up with my siblings but maybe other families feel differently.
Please tell a bit more about where I can get this truck on the market today. Any help is very appreciated.
$80k... Damn in my country thats 4 mill, i can have an actual permanent home and my own land with that.
0:46 GREAT BUILD EXCEPT FOR THAT FIRE HAZARD OF A STOVE... CHECK OUT THOSE BURN MARKS ON THE WALL (sorry for the caps)
Love the Geo Metro shout out; good idea [those cars are so underrated.] When I'm done making modules for the army truck ill have to make a 1/3 size one for our ol' Metro. Thanks.
Beautiful truck, amazing work, and ofc you have a lovely family. Keep rollin'.
Grazioso ma se uno vuole dormire impossibile visto che i letti sono nell' entrata soggiorno cucina sala da pranzo.
l love it!
Wow amazing video l l love it so much it's looks Beautiful Tiny Home Conservaton Tour Beautiful Family From Edinburg Texas
what kind of set up did you do to get rid of the factory engine intake? looks pretty clean behind the cab.
How do they have sex with no privacy, assuming they have sex?
This is really nice! I would love to how to get the music in this video. Can you tell me the name of the music?
I guaranteed they do while all the kids are at school they then have all the alone time then by themselves or make they do something like go out hiking swimming or somewhere while they can be alone guaranteed they make a way to be alone
overall it is cool but i am thinking about how they do wohoooo 😅 with children. I think this is the downside.
On a video stand point external lightning for the interview
This is a very impressive build. Nice job all around. It's not a truck. It's an entire friggen house!
Wish I had this for my kids' motocross race weekends. Been lugging a tent for the last 3 years and although we get by, storms make it really tough to pack up quickly.
what about when the kids grow up? and the parents privacy??
Is there a reason your pass through isn't full size walkthrough door
I want one for horn of Africa wilderness
Really nicely done! There is so much natural light and your color selections help to open up the space. The only concern I see is for privacy. Eventually all kids are going to want more of it. Happy travels! 🏞
how tf is 80,000 "affordable"?
