    Ford E450 Box Truck RV Conversion

    Can confirm, bushido's fix works! :D Although all the pictures look lower resolution, but I'll take it. And I saved relevant pictures for my build back in the day. But hey BradKW? Do you have enough insulation in place already that you could do your experiment where you see how long you can...

    Hence the UV sterilizer. Kills off virus's, bacteria, parasites... etc ;) But I agree it would add increased cost/complexity :/

    Also, I know you are already cramming a ton into a box and have some work cut out for you, but while you have access to everything still... I'm wondering if you at least considered a rain water capture system? It sounds silly but as an example in Houston, Texas. Annual Rainfall - 49" Capture...

    Ford E450 Box Truck RV Conversion

    Exactly, that's what I'm referring to. The shorter cab makes parking/turns easier. But coming up with a cab-to-box interface with a tilt-cab seems like alot to bite off. Especially considering how many hours it already takes to convert a box truck. That's why I said Ford box trucks are growing...

    Very neat! I'm partial to the Isuzu box trucks because of their short nose for tight parking and I see high mileage ones still driving all the time. But I would insist on a bulkhead to connect the cab to the box, and a DIY version with the Isuzu hard shell doesn't sound fun. Plus, Ford parts are...

    Wow. I love how that came about. It looks so clean. And you're not really sacrificing much in terms of ground clearance because the cab and box substructure is already that low. So you're just using volume efficiently.  I agree with your two points above, but I wouldn't stress too much. Maybe a...

    Congrats on the nice jobs that came your way :) Also, I'm a long time internet snooper looking at all sorts of tinyhouse/van/boxtruck conversions I could find anywhere on the web. But yours is my most favorite. I feel like you solve problems in a similar way I would try to (example, with power...

    Fictitious Decal on cargo van? for stealth

    People keep assuming that van owners would park right in front of a house... why not park right in between two houses? I never care or give it a second thought as long as a vehicle isn't directly in front of my house. A van may look more conspicuous... but if it was gone the next day, it would...
