This is the story of a 23-year-old filmmaker’s cargo van tiny house conversion. His name is Zach Both, and over the last year, he’s been on a “creative road show” across the US.
Zach travels and lives in his cargo van tiny house conversion that also functions as his mobile studio so he can live and work while traveling. “Filmmaking by nature is a nomadic pursuit. It’s a constant migration to and from different locations based on what the storytelling requires,” said Zach Both. “With this van, I now have complete freedom to write a script surrounded by mountains, direct a shoot in a remote desert town and then collaborate with an editor or composer in Los Angeles—all within the same month. That would be impossible any other way.”

This box truck conversion story is a guest submission.
Hello, My name is Bill Cogar II and I live in Sutton, West Virginia, USA.
I am a Boilermaker by trade and I have to travel for my work. Most of my work comes as an emergency outage when a power plant suddenly comes off line due to a break down of the steam generating boiler.
Those types of outages can last as little as one day or turn into several days or weeks. Lodging on short notice can be difficult to obtain and with the uncertainty of the job length, one never really knows how long they are going to need a bed and a place to shower.
Some I’ve worked with, move in and out of a room every day until the job is done. I’ve kept track of the cost of the build and by using what some of my co-workers pay for lodging, I estimate this vehicle has paid me back over three times now, not to mention the convenience of having it on “ready stand-by” when a job comes along.
I keep track of the number of days away from home and right now I’m at about 600 nights of habitation in my truck. My cost of living this way usually runs around 5-10% of my take home pay on a given job. Boilermakers rarely get a per-diem so your lodging, food and travel come right off the top of your take-home. I try and keep as much as possible.
What you will see in the following pictures is what I built to live in to make these outages a lot more bearable.
This is the story and video tour of a man who turns his Honda Element into a DIY campervan. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary compact sport utility vehicle. Only if you look carefully enough, you might find a tiny solar panel on the roof that’s secured using magnets.
Inside, the vehicle has been completely renovated with wood paneling, a tiny sink with running water, a wardrobe closet, insulation, a fold-out bed, and more! This is probably one of the best small camper conversions that I’ve seen. What do you think of it?
