VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Vaughn left the busy life of L.A to pursue a journey of freedom, excitement, and security in his tiny home on wheels. This truck sports 400 watts of solar by Renogy Solar and 200amp hours in lithium batteries. His kitchen has an eye-level window overlooking his latest backyard and an open layout leaving you with a home feel. The bathroom is a large 2' x 5' with a Laveo dry flush toilet and a comfortable full shower.
There's a living space he designed with a welcoming vibe and arrangement for relaxation. His murphy bed folds down in 3 seconds flat and stows away for maximum space during the day. Vaughn's love for architecture and his enthusiasm for art led him to create an original piece on his main wall. This tiny home truck feels more like a peaceful getaway than a mobile home.

Is a box truck something you are considering? They seem like awesome platforms!
We can house the homeless with this!
I love this and it was well told
I feel you're much safer then the woman living alone in van life. 😎
@chelly sands You don't know what you say. Maybe God will forgive you.
Great video. Too bad so many had to spoil the comments by questioning his experience as a Black man. If it were my channel I would take the time to delete them all.
I went to high school with him. Great person and down to earth. This is actually where my interest in off grid living began. It all started with him.
Small world. Hope he was as cool then as he is now Shari.
@@tumbleweed1976 still the same cool guy I know. Very intelligent.
He seems nice and intelligent
Go for it. Many are... live your dream while you can.
And a cutie pie!😘
I'm so happy to see more black people doing van life.
Look up blacknomad meetup . They had a meetup in georgia this year had a ball there vanlife rvs skoolies all black people from all over the country.
@@williamlewis3582 Thanks!!
The Black Nomads .
Blacks been doing van life with the old skool econoline vans they just didn’t have RUclips back in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Great example…… I (Blk woman)😊 just moved into my tiny home in Montgomery Alabama . My 20 year old son will move into his tiny home when he starts his senior year in college.
My plan is to purchase about 10 more tiny home for my property and turn them into Airbnb ….. I do feel u.
👍🏽
Wtf does your race have to do with this? Smdh….this is exactly the reason shit is the way it is. Unreal.
@@panickedjerzeegrl7622 I wish race wouldn’t play into so many things but it does quite often. If you haven’t experienced it it’s hard to understand and sometimes believe.
Thank you for sharing how awesome 😎
@@panickedjerzeegrl7622 Glad you can go through life and not have to think about race. Will the cops harass you because you fit the profile.
He mentioned Alabama, since you live there, can you share your experience on what racism has been like there?
I have never heard of Alabama being a racist place until today, please share.
YES Black Man! Im a black vanlife man too, but Im still building my vessel. Your tour is a huge breath of youtube vanlife fresh air. Thanks Bro. You are a great example.
@Bobbie B It isn't about race! Did you even bother to listen to what this young man said? It is about him and other people of color setting an example! When you see nomadic life, it's normally done NOT by people of color and if there's nobody to show them that they can do it too, and how beautiful a life it truly is, alot of them may never see the possibility....How would they know that it is a positive and freeing way of life that they can be a part of if they never saw anybody that looked like them and that goes for any other ethnicity so NOPE absolutely nothing to do with race, but more about showing alot of other black guys that there really is more to life than sticks & bricks, paying rent forever, living outside of your comfort zone, and that the world really can be a wonderful place!!💯💯💯 Nomadic life can bring you a more stress-free existence if you're willing to give it a try......
Thanks so much for discussing the actual elephant in the room. I recently purchased a school bus for the purpose of giving him experiences that Long Beach CA can not. I have been thinking of life-in-travel as Black Americans...I am currently a single parent with a son that is extremely interested in this world from an agricultural perspective. He is creatively homeschooled. We will hit the road in November. Please continue to share time on the road. I appreciate your proclamation. We are watching! #BlackExcellence #continueinleadership #becourageous #enjoyyourjourney
@tinytruckhome
Look up black nomad meetup sis. First meetup was in georgia look on utube you will see.
@@williamlewis3582 Thanks, I'll check it out
Tanya how can I follow your journey? I'm a single mom and what to do the same thing.
@@rayneb.1058 Hey...@TanyaRoxanne on IG & FB. My son hasn't come up with a name for our skoolie yet. Send a message so we can connect.
One of the most comfortable tours ever. An easy going guy with a well thought out, creative build. Cheers from Canader eh!
If you can make a comfortable beautiful home out of a truck, I can't WAIT to see what you do with containers! You're already well on your way to being "the most interesting man", and a truly inspiring one.
I agree
💯 I think I’m in love 🥰
@@bboop25 Easy there… His girlfriend read this . 🤭
Gee I thought what gentle soulful creative black man right off the bat. Followed by how Fab to see him out there daring to embrace this lifestyle. You make me want to find a delivery truck for my next tiny home so I'll keep your info.
Very nice! What a handsome young man.
Interesting tour.
I see another art opportunity on the wall when you put the Murphy bed down.😉
I thought the exact same thing.
You are a kind young man. I hope no one ever causes you any harm. I wish you the best journey. I love your build. From Texas
Thank you for the tour Vaughn! What an intelligent, warm, beautiful soul you are, full of inspiration, and with a fantastic looking home on wheels! I'm a white senior lady and it breaks my heart that you have to be concerned with your safety as a "black" man. Life just ISN'T fair for some and I pray that this will change someday soon!!! Your van is amazing looking and if I were in the market to have someone build a van for me I would contact you in a heartbeat!! May God bless you as you continue your journey!!!
He reminds me of Shemar Moore.
Great truck/home and business endeavors! 👏🏾👏🏾
He does give that vibe.
He reminded me of Shemar Moore also
I agree he sure does !
He reminds me of my late brother. A very handsome man.
Thank you so much for your voice and representation!❤️ Tiny living has been a dream of mine especially now being a single parent. It just makes sense for me and my son…. But the fear of being attacked while alone with my son is very real and has lead to procrastination in completing this dream of ours…. Maybe one day we will be on the road safe 😊
What a brilliant, articulate, sweet young man. I have learned so much from him. May God continue to bless him & safe travels. One of the best videos on RUclips.
Beautiful home, the design and use of space is perfection.
OMG, Dude…You just nailed every sentiment I’ve ever had about this subject/lifestyle (especially, the “I can’t just post up…” part)!
I lived in my Mini Cooper for an entire Western New York winter, and security was my only concern. I’ve always had a YMCA membership, so showers, and everything else, wasn’t a concern.
Thanks for keeping it 💯; I’m going for it for sure now.
What a beautiful soul ... this conversion is absolutely stunning!
Thank you for sharing your lovely home and story. And thank you for your honesty about what Van life and living off the gird is like as it pertains to "People Of Color " As it is always going to be a different experience from those to whom are not. This is something I myself am moving towards doing in the next few months. And as a Solo Black Woman I know I have to be particularly cautious. BTW...I like your shirt " Friends Don't let Friends Dream Alone.
Wowww! Well done, in every way! Such a beautiful, articulate, creative talent you are! Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing your very interesting life!
I am so relieved to hear him talk about the level of anxiety we feel as people of color to explore van life or even an off grid lifestyle. I have a great desire to live off grid but the fear of the unknown keeps me right where I'm at. I absolutely agree sitting in front of a computer all day does takes a toll on the body. Muscles do get really tight and tense. This truck is phenomenal he literally has everything you need. Great job.
Congratulations on putting yourself out there! We, as Black people living in the United States, have to work so hard just to be part of this country in any meaningful way. There is so. much pushback against our being equal human beings. Thanks for taking that leap of faith and for being a visible presence for other Black folks who want that lifestyle.
I agree
Yes, what he said was very accurate. So many white people (and I am one) are in denial of the extent of racism that still exists in the US. Some people like to just blame it on the media and say the media is exaggerating, but if you have friends and family of color, and see and hear what some have been through, you learn how bad it still is.
Thanks for sharing! I'm very interested in seeing more PoC who live this lifestyle, and I'm glad you addressed some of the specific concerns there.
It's the same for solo women that live full time in a van. Except we are scared EVERYWHERE. Even those that live a house and have to go to town, or out for the evening, have to watch our backs ALWAYS.
THANK YOU.
Smh... Some people make an extra effort to NOT understand
You're comparing apples to oranges.
@@mamaredz9391 maybe it's you that's not understanding her point of view. She's just as entitled to voice her opinion as he is to his and you to agree with him.
Agreed Ronda.
Inspiring. Appreciate the courage to speak/identify as a melanated man choosing to do this, with the ever present challenges and lack of representation in this space, and your desire to set the example of possibility. Loved the layout and art. Continued development and success to you. Thank you Tiny Home Tours for highlighting this brother.
Great example and thanks for taking the time to explain what so many of us have lived with. Excellent build.
damn hot… and the van is nice too!
Beautiful words and example. Love your life.
I too Love the simple life. I am in the process of decluttering my house and you are correct in saying it clears the mind as well.
Loved the tour of your rig. You are such a pleasant young man.💞
Love your Murphy bed mural! It's organic, yet really beautiful, calming, interesting and easy on the eyes. You've got lots of talent!
I have absolutely enjoyed this episode, and thank you so much for your insightful analysis!!!
You have created a beautiful home. Be well and have safe travels!
Great artwork - and lots of really well-thought solutions.. Even a workout space 🏋️🌟
Unfortunately, I've seen very few people of colour doing van life. Usually, it is white people, especially white women. It is always a pleasure to see a person of colour breaking free of societal molds like this wonderful young man. I agree that his community needs more great examples like him and laud him for stepping into that role. Indeed, MY community (I'm an elderly white woman) needs to see more great examples like him! We need to open our eyes and hearts better. While he deserves to be respected and accepted simply for being a marvelous and thoughtful human being, I completely understand his statement/s regarding being a man of colour in the van life world. The world needs more people like him. All the best to him.
Easily one of my all time favorite van tours! I love the rotating art pieces and books. Everything flows and is perfectly placed with a calming yet energetic colour scheme. The Murphy bed & it’s late-night mural design are PERFECT! Well done! 😀
There is so much I wanna say, but I’m gonna keep it short. I love his tiny home and I love his philosophy!
I never comment on these tiny home videos, but I had to let you know how much I loved what you have done. Your creativity is just awesome. I could totally live in what you have created. Hats off to you Sir! I loved it.
I really love this video. Been a fan of the channel. I love that he spoke his truth. There are so many people going thru this life with blinders on. I have wanted a van for two years and I do live in Texas. I have a Fear of being safe while driving, which is disappointing. No one should have this fear. Thank you for being YOU!
Black nomad meetup look ot up sis.
Nice set up. Excellent engineering. Cool Escher like wallpaper. I'd love to have your lifestyle.
This has to be the best van/home tour I've watched in a long time. He really is a very interesting, articulate and funny man. Love what he's done with this space gorgeous. Can't wait to see what he does with other vans and what he'll do with containers.
You are AWESOME! Your home is beautiful but your message is above and beyond a conversation about what is possible! Love everything about what you are doing!!!
Love it and thank you. I'm getting ready to transition to a short bus and so excited about gaining my Freedom. Your set up is perfect. Blessings and Love 💗
Thank you for being you! Your thoughtful approach to living and direct, honest communication is very refreshing. Made my day!
how many hearts broke when he said "girlfriend" ?
Lol
💔🙄🇯🇲 lol
Focus people, this is about his conversion. This IS NOT A DATING SITE!
Mine 🤭
Moa!!!!
You could do workout videos for people with tiny spaces. Great tiny tour!
You did a marvelous job with your van. Love the painting beneath your Murphy bed, the cushion covers, rotating art, window with plants, etc. I'm an artist so that's the first things that I noticed and am immediately drawn to in your home. Compact, functional, and cozy home! Enjoy your new van conversion business. Jenny :o)
Agree with every point that you've raised even though our backgrounds & life are very different.
On the subject of simplifying things, I enjoy washing the dishes by hand. It's incredible how my mind wanders, some make me laugh out loud, some are reliving fond memories & there's never been anything stressful to spoil the moment.
Best of all, I've had some solutions to lingering problems just magically reveal themselves.
The mind is an amazing thing once you set it free.
We had one of the first box truck conversions back in 1971. It was an Arnold Bread truck. We bought it for $400.00, rebuilt the clutch and converted it to a camper to tour Eastern Canada and Prince Edward Island for the summer. Little did we know to what degree someone like you would take this concept!
The market is open to you. So many Americans are facing evictions or just overwhelmed with student loans and high rents. We are out of that loop and farming, but I could see myself in a tiny house someday if I needed to down size. You have done an amazing job of form/fit/function to suit your personal lifestyle. I can see you helping others to realize their dream of having a home that is simple and theirs. ~ Diane
The Dry Flush needs to get on it already! Laveo said they were going to come out with a more “green” option. It’s a great premise but not having them be compostable bags, I just can’t. We even figured out how to put a raised seat on it and install a urine diverter so only the solids would be flushed (saving cartridges). We had to go with the seperatte since Laveo doesn’t seem to be moving on any advancements.
Luckily their Seperatte’s composter’s have gone down a lot and are now less than the dry flush, dropping almost half and now are around $530.
Laveo Dry Flush is Viable option for van life, makes sense. Thanks for sharing.
What he says is so genuine. I didn't realize until I was fortunate enough to become in a biracial family. And it made me realize that you can be understanding but a white man or woman will never ever truly feel what black people have felt for centuries. The fear the Discrimination that hate the evilness. Thank God there are Generations that are coming up that are being loving and tolerant.
Considering how low home ownership is among people of color in the US he's a great example of a different possibility. I enjoyed hearing his take on this lifestyle
List the data or show proof
Yeah, banks will mess up your home lone (the NPR investigation opened a lot of eyes), but few will hinder a Black person from getting something that looks like a work vehicle.
@@argates6507 I'd like to read this story, please provide info about this
@@Frost-tb9qs you could look it up if youre that determined to try and disprove what theyre saying
Blacks do own homes across the U.S. please don’t believe the b.s. the news put out.
Most spacious head room I've seen in a TinyHome... love the layout design on this!
I absolutely love seeing you doing this. Seeing you a man of color doing this is amazing. Keep it up, stay safe!
I LOVE seeing people that look like me living this lifestyle. It motivates me to work harder to achieve the goal of being a Tiny House community.
Thank you brother for breaking it down so to speak and being real regarding the color issue. You must always think about your safety! Real talk! Your truck is awesome! Love it!
Its no way to live. Breaks my heart
I luv your amazing home everthing you need right there. Enjoy every minute stay safe. Peace ✌from Scotland 🏴
loved this guys energy, man gives off such a positive vibe
So jealous. He's made exactly what I've wanted for so long and done a hell of a job making it perfect.
I really admire your courage and strength to make a difference. It's unique and it's a reflection of you.
awesome! i love how you describe each detail with such adoration. your build is so intentional. great work. i’m excited to learn you’re now building as a profession. way to go.
I do not believe I have watched a single van tour that I actually want to listen to what the person has to say until now. Usually they go on and on for an entire hour about all the crap they have in each cupboard. You have some really great pearls of wisdom to bestow upon us. You have an old soul . I wish you the best of luck!🥰
Well done! I think my favorite thing about the whole truck is that it's unique to you and a different thought process on the layout. It's nice that's it's simple; but you've covered every necessity well.
Your artistic & constructive genius is obvious my friend! And I like the stealthy aspect of your truck! Tuning in for ideas! Peace and God Bless!
LOVE the big art piece! Not only is it beautiful in itself, it lends a lovely feel to the whole space.
Thank You for being a Pioneer for People of Color & People in general. This is Beautiful and Amazing. Out of all the Tiny homes I've seen this is Awesome. God Bless you in All that you do and may he Prosper you beyond what you can imagine. I Love This, Blessings 😊😍
I love that you realized you can be a hero to young boys like you! So inspiring! Your box truck is pretty awesome as well!
Thank you! I love your conversion! My husband and I (this is Dons wife Diane) want to hit the road off grid in 2022, so we are researching RVs, & conversions. I like the holiness of conversions so much better! Just would need to be the right rig!!
Thanks soooo much for posting your story and journey!! Being a lady of color I really appreciate you and showing my son that this is possible for him this year! A new year with so many possibilities. Believe it and you can achieve it. Doubt and do without! Keep the faith!
Great video! I love the honesty and willingness to be open regarding the circumstances of what we face daily that makes our experience very challenging! Your build is totally awesome! You’re so articulate, down to earth, knowledgeable, witty…. just an all around beautiful soul!🤗
This is the nicest looking box truck l've seen. I love the mural. Incredible conversation and yes there is definitely a need to recognize and see black vanlifers.
So proud of you, dear brother!
I see a man who has found balance in his life. Thanks for sharing.
YOU WILL SUCCEED. I can see the confidence and the drive that you have.
Yes, yes yes thank you for that honesty it was refreshing and beautiful and so is your home I wish you much success in your journey go forward never look back and know that what is before you is for you
Thank you for this video. You are correct. There aren't enough men from our community doing Van RV living, just for the reasons that you've mentioned. Great job!
The Black Man Can! Amazing build and beautiful spirit. Love that art piece and you have a beautiful lady on your arm, I love to see black people owning and creating new spaces and opportunities. God bless Him and protect him.
I just wanted to say that my first take on you is that you are a great man, and you are doing, and will do great things in the world. And that this world Is a better world with you in it.
Your comments about introverts needing an example is so true. Thanks for putting into words what I could never articulate.
This man is amazing I just love his home
Representation is so very important, for everyone. I love the boxtruck build!
great!!! I am watching this vidoes and not just the build of the vans but the experience of people, thank you! I am so excited to get my van done and just go free!
I love your home and your positivity and outlook on life! A real pleasure to find your video.
This is my first time seeing a box van conversion…very homey and I love the artist touches.
My favorite tiny house video you have on your channel and he is 100 % right I love the fact that you show us that we can do this to
You are a great inspiration. I'm currently building my van for camping and possible traveling in the future. You have done a phenomenal job with your home. Thank you for representing well.
What an interesting, bright young man 👏👍👏
Thank you for shearing your story and your home ❤️
Safe and happy travels 🙏
Love from Iceland 🇮🇸 🦋🦋🦋
Yes! 🙌🏽 and Amen! Thank you for sharing that, and your truck is a Beautiful build. 💖
Impressed not only by your build but also your approach to life I wish you great all good adventure
Aman. Thanks for being an excellent example Pioneer off the grid as a Man of Color. THANK YOU. LOVE YOUR BUILD...
Great job, looks great! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Books, art and comfort👍🏼love it!
Nice job on your van, Vaughan. Thanks for sharing your personal story, too. Best wishes to you.
I have never seen anyone have so much in a van and make it so warm and personal.
This dude seems like a supper chill person, keep being you!
Dang, man! That is sweet! I so understand what you were saying about stuff and things taking up mental space, and bogging us down. I wouldn't label myself a minimalist (yet?), but I am finding, the more I get rid of, the better I feel.
Beautiful build. I hope you continue to enjoy it, and your company prospers.
Love the vibes bro, thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us, much appreciated and respected.
Wish you all the best.
Love from London, U,K
You are such a gifted individual! Your place is absolutely beautiful! It is better than a small apartment!!
What a handsome man. Love his rig. It has everything one could want or need. Even house plants! Live ones! And yes, the bed setup is one of the fastest I’ve seen. Enjoyed the tour and the video!
❤️💜💚
Thank you for sharing your creativity and your mission! Beautiful job!
yessss! It's felt like for a long time that the tiny house, van life, minimalist, nomadic lifestyles are not something black people have felt they can do (for lots of reason including but not limited to not seeing POC faces in the community and media) I am feeling braver and braver about starting my journey (in the process of buying a vintage RV to travel in Europe) As a black woman I worry about so many things (personal safety, discrimination, isolation etc) , but I am going to do it anyway. Things are changing. I am seeing more and more brown faces on the trail and in nature (well, I am in Europe you we are a little thin on the ground in the first place, but we are here! And nature belongs to us too) and I am looking foreword to seeing more brown faces behind the wheel and on the road too!
