From a DIY Van to a Box Truck Conversion!

Eric and Ashley have been living nomadically for four years. The first three years they spent in a low-top van conversion, before spending 6 months converting a box truck into their home on wheels. The truck gave them space to stand, and they were happy to build out a vehicle with square walls!

They both have remote jobs and choose to travel now while they have health and mobility, rather than waiting for “someday”. At first, they thought they’d only be on the road for a year, but now they can’t imagine giving up the freedom that nomadic life affords them. Check out their awesome rig below!

Their Stealthy Box Truck Conversion


They chose a dinette that turns into a queen-sized bed.

They built a flip-open door to replace the rolling door that came with the box.

Highlights:

  • Eric and Ashley love stealth camping in their box truck! After 3 years on the road in a van conversion, they decided to upgrade to something they could stand in.
  • They have a composting toilet hidden under the sink, and plans to finish off an outdoor shower set-up.
  • Their door has two layers, one solid, and one with a “bear proof” screen so they can sleep with the air flowing inside.
  • While controversial, they chose a dinette conversion set-up in the back of the box truck, which becomes their queen-sized bed at night.
  • Most of their storage comes from the over-cab compartment, which offers 7×3 feet of space.
