19-Year-Old Builds Budget Box Truck Tiny Home


This post may contain affiliate links & sponsored content.

Max didn’t “get into” nomadic vehicle life because of YouTube — he was born into it! His parents each had their own van conversions before they got married and when little Max came along they converted an awesome truck tiny home and Max “helped.” In other words, it was in his blood!

So it’s no surprise that this 19-year-old decided to take on his own box truck conversion when he was ready to move out! His build is particularly remarkable because of how many free and reclaimed materials he used in order to stay under budget. Enjoy the tour below!

      Oh, I wanted to add that the ventilation of the wool insulation was a clever idea. There are lots of clever ideas in this home.

    Life on the road, living in this TH would be quite the experience. You have put together a fine home. I love the rustic style, furniture, walls, all of it. It’s a calm, warm and cozy way to live and travel. But for real those steps need to be replaced with safe stairs beginning with adding a step coming out from the door. As it is that 1st step is dangerous! If you could build a set of stairs and put them on hinges so they could be raised up and locked in for travel. See?
