VAN TOUR of UHAUL BOX TRUCK Converted to Beautiful DIY TINY HOME for Full-Time Van Life

VAN TOUR with Beds to Sleep THREE People and the First Ever Van Life GYM // In July 2020 we bought a retired Uhaul Box Truck for $7,700 and started the process of turning it into a dream tiny home on wheels for full time Van Life. 6 Months and $17,000 later we have a completed van with room to sleep three people, cook any food we want, and store all of our items. We had no construction experience prior to this project but were able to learn everything we needed through Youtube and trial and error.

In this video we give a tour of every single part of our van build. We go into detail on all of the individual projects and how they work. We have the first ever diy van life squat rack mounted to the outside of our truck. It allows us to do nearly everything that a traditional gym would allow for. We have a twin XL bed and a queen bed, so can comfortably fit three people in the truck!

Here is a list of all of the core products that we used to convert our retired Uhaul Box Truck! This is is an overview, but on each video from our build series, we have the specific products required to do that project.
