"BUILT FROM FREE TRASH"- A Tiny House van/truck conversion home

  • Two builders convert a moving truck into a tiny house and mobile reuse education center. Using almost nothing but reused, repurposed and dumpster-dived materials, their triumph over junk showcases the endless benefits of the reuse life. Through creative (and even comical) solutions, the film proves that almost anything we need to thrive in our daily lives already exists in abundance.
    Here is a quick tour glimpse of the truck- one that Alex Eaves has now lived in for over five years. Built and designed by Derek "Deek" Diedricksen and Eaves, this truck is the star of the documentary film "The Box Truck Film: Building a REUSEful Home"- which is available just about everywhere. #vanconversion #tinyhouse #tinyhome #cabins #repurpose

    What I like about the design is the placement of the bathroom. It creates separation between the "office" and the living area, creating two separate "rooms".

    How I envy these people, they live in a world of opportunities, first world countries and yet they manage to inflate their ego with the fact that they can do things with "garbage" of course in a place where "garbage" is almost new and completely reusable. What they don't show in the video is that many people throw away semi-new things and generate a lot of trash. Here in my Mexico, if someone throws away a piece of furniture, they throw it away already rotten, pissed, or in a bag of dough because it falls apart, I would like them to try to do something. with real garbage.

    Very nice way to reuse stuff to make a whole home on wheels. Thrift store finds are what I use for my day camping excursions. I did notice, though, ANOTHER stove situated on top of wood, and under, more wood. Why is this so common in these van builds? Why is it not taken into consideration before the build, the danger a heat source can cause a combustible material that, over time, expands from heat and can catch fire at just 200 degrees Fahrenheit?! Would you have your stove at home surrounded by wood? No, because stoves are made of metal, all the way around, and above fans that are encased in metal, too. Suggestion. Shop around at Thrift stores like I did until you find a metal, whatever, that finds your little cooktop. It's better to be safe than sorry later on.

    • @streetsshallprovide2029

      It's a small hot plate type stove- used- they're designed to sit atop just about anything and have a small amount of air or clearance space beneath them. It's been in use for over 5 years and there isn't so much as a heat mark on the counter from it.
