Very cool. You have The only type of bed that should in any camper van, one that disappears, and you are not constantly faffing about with cushions and bed linen .
Another good option for AC would be the "Backpack Mini-Split". They are made for trucks/rvs, run on DC power (12-24v usually), and use car refrigerant so no special licensing required. Started to see them on a few builds on YT and they look pretty cool. I love the sleeper look of this build and the simple modern interior.
There is no reason to mess with subpar DC stuff when residential splits are cheap, a known quantity, and more efficient. If you have the space to hang the outdoor unit don't mess with the DC stuff. My reference is we have a 12VDC split unit with heat pump. The ONLY reason I went that route is because I couldn't get a residential split unit to work on my van.
Nice build. I also live in a converted box truck. It’s 14 feet. Nobody even bats an eye. I have 600 watts of solar, and 250ah of batteries a stove, and freezer on a temperature control module. Sink, shower, a garage, and slide/ Murphy bed. Best decision I ever made.
@@noxious456 Less envy on my part, more like it'd be nice if the uploader said upfront this was a business-venture. I prefer seeing people's DIY stuff, which this is clearly not.
NIce build, amazing use of tech. My one concern would be the windows, dead giveaway someone is livin in the box. It would be cool if you could design stealthy way to conceal the windows.
Saw another box truck build that only had a skylight but when back was opened up to make the deck there was a full length and height sliding glass door so it was light an actual patio 👍🏻
Outstanding I've watched many (and I mean many) stelth campers, bus builds , and almost anything else you can imagine and this ranks in the top 5 if not #1 of builds. Well done I am awe struck it is gorgeous inside and very stelth like outside, job well done.
it's not so much these people making YT content (which probably most of the upper-quality ones are bullshit anyway) from professional projects the law cares about, it's about the nuisance stealth campers that live like pigs, makes a mess, gets in people's way, trespass, steal utilities, etc., they're trying to keep a handle on. but, they have to apply the law evenly, or in theory try to. these guys probably aren't fooling many, if any, real cops, but as long as you don't make it obvious and move along the next day, i suspect they just look the other way.

Dealing with black water is tedious enough for the short term camping trip. Can you imagine having to *constantly* worry about your septic system needing to be serviced, and not having a capable offloading site (campground) available anywhere nearby? Plus, this is now essentially a moving truck with enough weight inside to be considered fully loaded, and 83 gallons of water is bad enough without adding another 30-some gallon black tank to the mix. Pretty sure this is why most "stealth campers" just get a Planet Fitness membership.
@@weaselsworldSaw a build with 50 gal black water tank like any RV. Had clean out access too. Toilet was built inside the shower so bonus was the shower head could be used as a bidet.
Probably one of the best set ups I have seen. The only thing I don't like is when the bed is fully down, then the projector cant project, so you can't lay in bed and watch TV. But hey, I still give this 5 stars
As others have said, that's REALLY sharp looking! You were serious that a lot of long learned skills went into making this. It shows. I'm not in the market to become a stealth mobile-life person but if I were something like this would fit the bill.
Rent is going overy the skies in all europe capitals. Im seriously looking to build myself a stealthvan like this, park it near my work, gym or supermarket. And live like this for a ocuple years while i make money.
Did you create a better vapor barrier on the walls by sealing every little gap? Even a little bit of moisture that gets into those walls will cause condensation. You won't notice it until the damage is obvious.
thanks alot for inspiration. I've been thinking alot desing of my dream box truck type home in my head and this was best so far. very close what I've been thinking
Been thinking of one of these since I travel and make films - This would mean I wouldn't need a hotel anywhere and have a place for my work. Thank you for the idea Very much! I am though trying to figure out how you got the box and the cab to be as one since usually they are separate pieces!
Wow I've been saying that a lot looking at the video. I has just about everything I need. It's Beautiful and it feels like a home! Too me anyway. Don't know what the Price is I've seen smaller builds that cost More and besides that the build From the bottom up! Hello if people think the price is too high then they're high!! The installation and everything else. I don't believe I've seen too many other builds! Beautiful Job. If I had the Money I would have it for my Home 💗💗💗💗. Have a great day
Should get a DC to DC charger so the truck can charge the batteries if you ever get days of less then optimal sunlight. Especially if you get snowfall that ends up covering the solar panels.
Since there is no toilet, do you keep a chamber pot under the bed, like in the old days, and if so, how do you keep it from stinking? Is that the purpose of the ceiling fan?
This is by far the best video on stealth camper construction
@esra-erimez at what cost?
@@artsteadman2230 Exactly; if I had a CNC laying around I could do this too!
Y'all should do this for a living. That craftsmanship *chef's kiss*.
I think that is what he is doing. the video was basically a ad to purchase that truck.
corny
@@NomadicBloke1yeah let’s stop with putting chefs kiss in posts. Just make a pact to never do it anymore.
Since he CNC cut all the cabinetry and professionally edged it, yeah he's already doing this for a living.
@@patty109109 This is the first time I've seen it and I agree with it being the last.
very professional, the machines you used alone would break my bank account. old people like me use hand tools and lots of patience.
Very cool. You have The only type of bed that should in any camper van, one that disappears, and you are not constantly faffing about with cushions and bed linen .
What is the brand of the lifting bed?

@@MyGoogleRUclips I"ve started seeing people hanging the part that goes outside under the vehicle for extra stealth even.
@@MyGoogleRUclipsThanks for the heads up!

Where do you park every night? Do you move it constantly? Also how do you manage having ample shower water?
Gorgeous. Maybe even perfect. The stealth is next level.
Amazing use of space, especially liked the drop-down bed. For me bigger holding tank would be a plus.
This is fabulous, I love that it is so unassuming. Great job.
You have access to just about every type of wood, metal and laminate fabrication equipment. Interesting.

Awesome set of tools.
Absolutely beautiful man. Super job
So much glamping I could do in this thing.. I love it..

Just pee in the shower.
@weaselsworld why not a composting toilet?
@@weaselsworldSaw a build with 50 gal black water tank like any RV. Had clean out access too. Toilet was built inside the shower so bonus was the shower head could be used as a bidet.
No toilet!!!!
Thanks for the inspiration. I need a standalone 1/2-ton truck, but I will use your creative ideas for the DIY trailer build. Cheers.

Great job! I am designing my own model over time. Total custom job. Love what you do did with this
Nice Job never showing the side with the window from outside ;)
It was shown in to be the back of the truck at 3:57. Then a quick shot a few seconds later it can barely be seen , but it is on the rear.
Fantastic work, looks amazing! I also appreciate this video being quick and to the point. Others should take note and cut the rambling lol
An amazing idea. I’m really surprised this isn’t more common or even a niche market for small conversion companies. Nice work!
I've watched a lot of conversion videos. This is easily one of the most impressive. Nice work.
Beautiful build!
Best conversion ive seen!! wow!
One word ''WOW".........
One of the best ones I’ve seen so far!
🇬🇧 First class job, well done. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a great build.
Using the right tools makes things much easier . . . great job.
Oh how I wish I had this vehicle! Just stunning.
Just awesome craftsmanship...hell.. I'll buy one..

Yes Im about to do this too thanks... Cheers from Melbourne Australia
Well done with the craftsmanship.
Absoutly amazing work well done!!!
Nice job!
Выглядит потрясающе, у вас золотые руки 8)
I am curious as to how much something like this would cost. Thank you, Doc Chaps
Wow ... an EXCELLENT build!!
All three machines are great !!! Good vid
All that craftsmanship and costs. might as well have a small house somewhere in Kentucky
Or a small house in every state 😉 well, except Hawaii.
WELL THOUGHT OUT VERY NICELY DONE!!!
Rent is going overy the skies in all europe capitals. Im seriously looking to build myself a stealthvan like this, park it near my work, gym or supermarket. And live like this for a ocuple years while i make money.
This is wild! If I was rich, I'd buy it...
That was a great build. 👍🏻
Did you create a better vapor barrier on the walls by sealing every little gap? Even a little bit of moisture that gets into those walls will cause condensation. You won't notice it until the damage is obvious.
You don’t need to add a vapor barrier. The sheet metal will act as one. You need it to have breathability so moisture can leave
This is super awesome 🔥🔥🔥
thanks alot for inspiration. I've been thinking alot desing of my dream box truck type home in my head and this was best so far. very close what I've been thinking
Awesome build.
Love your truck ❤
Best stealth box ever - love how you did this 🎉❤😊
Awesome good job
I am sure is expensive
I love it
It's perfection
Nicely done!
Very impressive presentation!
Nice build - well designed and it looks great!
Very well designed.
Nice build and great vid. Id like to see a 1 years review.
What is the price on this sweet rig?
Great little camper! Would love to see a cost breakdown
Wow , Beautiful 🌞🇺🇸
How much was the van sold for?
Or what would something like that cost?
North of 100k USD. More if you want other options this build doesn't have.
this channel seems underrated
Love it , it's perfect for one person
What is the size of the box truck, very nice build I love IT
nice job brother!!
awesome, you need to open a shop and build them.
Awesome build best I've seen!
Wow very impressive
Best box truck build ever! Nice work 🙌🏽
It'd be cool to know about how much...to get an idea...beautiful build!
Great job matt shatt

Should def do this for a living
amazing job! do you work somewhere with all that cabinet equipment? joiners/ edge banders/routers and so on?
Very interesting. This will be my retirement RV. Keep up the Good Work!
Congratulations on your build. Did not get the price though.
Thats because they want 100k + for it 😂☠️
It’s still for sale so that tells you the want way too much $.
I'm normally not a fan of these professional builds, I must say you guys did a phenomenal job it's still a little sleek for me but it's really nice.
Sold...bout 6 months ago.
As soon as you saw how the cabinets were built… it was way out of almost everyone’s league…. $100k+ ouch .
Totally agree, best video.

Wow! Nice job!
1:59 please tell me you waterproofed that shower. It looks like you just tiled over plywood…
To do all that work and not would be sad
Amazing build!!! ❤❤❤
One thing you may not have thought of is a washer / dryer (saw in another channel). :)

That is beautiful!
Beautiful work I am looking to get into something like this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great outcome. What was done to the mechanicals of the truck ?
Love it want 1 just like this
Loved the build, when can you start building mine.
Top job. V cool
