VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This family of five stepped out of their comfort zone and now lives full-time in a 1998 Military Stewart and Stevenson. This self-converted tiny home isn't so tiny with massive tires, two 12ft slide-outs, and 2600 watts of solar. They can comfortably be off-grid for eight days with a total of 105 gallons of fresh water, a diesel heater, and extra material stored in the trailer they tow.
A convenient passthrough connects the cab to the living space for easy access. The kitchen has a residential four-burner stove/oven, a decent fridge, and a dining table that suits the entire family. The lighting was essential to keep this monster rig bright, so they installed several large windows and overhead skylights. Spending a total of $80,000, this family doesn't regret a dime paid for the reward of quality time and new adventures!

I saw that they had New Mexico stickers inside. Out of state residents can get a New Mexico state pass for $220.00 a year. It allows you to stay for free at any NM state park, which by the way have showers, bathrooms, trash service, dumpstations and park rangers, and some even have play parks too. Alot of the parks close their gates at sunset, which I feel is safer than BLM land. If you want water and electric, they charge you $4.00 a night.
Wow great advice to them.
Great!
Laundry?
What is BLM land?
@@TacksofallJrades BLM land is short for bureau of land management. It's government owned land that you can stay at for free. If you Google BLM land maps in the USA, it will give you exact locations. Alot of these lands are right outside state parks, but some of them can be out in the middle of nowhere. You just drive in, pick a spot and park there. There are no amenities and you cannot leave any trash behind. It's a good option if you don't have anywhere else to park and camp or if you just want to save on overnight fees. But it is open land.
I love seeing families thinking outside the box and doing things like this, that truly are for the betterment of their family unit. We've all been deceived to think what is "normal". So glad they were in the financial position to do this :)
Yes, and thank you internet to give us all these inspiring project available for anyone.
Yesssssss
What's the story behind your name?
easier to do when you are a millionaire
@@Flat_Earth_AddyThis 80K mobile house is exponentially more affordable than the 200k+ house my family lives in now. 200k is also on the lower end for a decent house for a family of four. So your point is null.
Pretty cool but no privacy for mom and dad for hmmm...? That seems like a pretty major downside.
They probably woohoo when the children are out playing or something. I'm sure they find a way lol.
Well there is that "extra" trailer.
Exactly my thought! Nice build but zero privacy 😩
I was about to say the same thing
@@-...Patricia...- ew, the son sleeps there!
This is the most beautiful truthful and real episode I've seen!! Thanks for being soo educational!! "It's not vacation 24/7 you have to work at it" .....Soo Wise!! Thanks, Guys
This is best truck conversion I've ever seen. What a beautiful family too. Xx
Thank you Tiny Home Tours and Brian for making such a great video of our family and Bart the overlander! And thank you to all of you who subscribed and will follow along our adventures! 😊
Do you continue the adventure?
@@romadventure.vietnam we sold Bart, but are continuing the adventure! Just a different kind of travel!
What a lovely home on wheels The children's bunk beds are great. What memories this family is making. Stay safe on your journey.
All is so practical and well organized in this truck and trailer. Splendid ! Great to see.
Cool family and an awesome project. All the best to you and thank for sharing!
These slide-outs and all those windows really make for a nice living space. It looks very nice!
I’m feelin that whole “get out of your comfort zone” philosophy. God Bless U all, safe travels, & thanks for sharing. 🙏🏿
The mum & dad are so realistic which is good to hear!
Beautiful, strong family. We need strong families. Thank u
Amazing….love the whitewashed wood and sky lights, and the slides make it not too squished. And I think likely better than a standard RV, where you never quite know of its quality underneath, or “whatever looks nice and works for a few years.”
Things are much easier when you are organized. This lady does what I always dreamt of being. Being organized is the foundation for success. Thank you for giving me ideas that I can use immediately to my kitchen organized. I wish you and your family the best and that you stay safe and healthy.
Great looking rig/home. 👌 Thank you for sharing. The mileage sent Shock waves thru my mind at 5MPG
Great build and a really smart way to be with your family with all the craziness going on in the world!!
I love the home and the family! Blessings and great job!
I love your story, and the priority of being together so unusual for today. Very rewarding I'm sure, and a lovely norm to aim for. Thank you for sharing, God bless!!!!
It's a beautiful home and very well done video. Best of Luck to you!
Good for you guys a lovely close family travelling together enjoying your lives lots of great memories and maybe in afew years the family can purchase another home . From Australia
Your living my dream. I love your beautiful home on wheels. I wouldn't need as much room as it would only be 3 of us. I hope that I can retire to RV living before I get to old to really be able to enjoy it. My only con is the toilet situation lol but its not enough to change my dream. Enjoy life and living it your way 👍❤
I really like this build. Rustic and homily… they are living the real life 👏🏽👏🏽
Completely agree… your family is your most important assets ❤
Love the whole rig ...great craftsmanship .former military ( Viet Nam) Love the big ol military trucks!! A ton of fun to drive 👍
This is a beast home truck. Kinda of hard to maneuver in towns to find parking spots etc.. Nicely built !
Very nice 👍🏻. Wish your family many blessings on this wonderful lifestyle
beautiful house, watching your video guys make me feel thrilled i love seeing your adveture! keep safe see yah!
Great life and you do have a great wife . Her attitude is spot on because team work makes the dream work. Good luck Mike
I love that saying. "There are no mistakes, just learning opportunities"
Great video! Great outlander! Thank you for sharing 😊
Love the attitude and that they shared some bits of wisdom.
I absolutely love your home on wheels! No matter what it cost, I believe it is worth it. Just think of all the memories you guys are making. Plus you're getting a chance to really see this country, from the north to the south, all the changes of weather, and that is priceless. I believe this new home of yours if going to bring your family even closer, and I hope you enjoy every mile you spend on the road. God bless you and keep you, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 😊
One downside is that the children don't have the ability to make lasting friendships with other children or people. I suppose they will eventually settle down in one location so that the children can build these relationships.
Really nicely done! There is so much natural light and your color selections help to open up the space. The only concern I see is for privacy. Eventually all kids are going to want more of it. Happy travels! 🏞
I’m building a hummer with a tiny home trailer and I’m having a blast. I can’t wait for it to be done. I’m already living out of the trailer on a farm so I know power consumption, water etc. I have exterior siding to do, solar kit and swapping my hummer engine to diesel. I used the hummer during the freedom convoy with a tent beside and it gave me the idea to build the trailer. A place to call home in any situation.
Not sure how I missed this. Ray and his family are great people!
Love the Geo Metro shout out; good idea [those cars are so underrated.] When I'm done making modules for the army truck ill have to make a 1/3 size one for our ol' Metro. Thanks. Beautiful truck, amazing work, and ofc you have a lovely family. Keep rollin'.
Love your Beautiful Home. It's awesome. The kitchen Is Where I'm happy making Real food and Baking from scratch. Thank you for sharing your Home. Happy And safe Travels.. The whole Rig WOW.
It's incredible how bright and spacious it is.
I love the fact that it looks more like a regular texas house than a transformed car. And the slide-out idea is genius.
Wish I had this for my kids' motocross race weekends. Been lugging a tent for the last 3 years and although we get by, storms make it really tough to pack up quickly.
15 yrs ago I had an operation on my hip that left me unable to work but left me in pain 24/7 and taking two types of morphine to cope with it but being able to be there and see my 4 kids and the wife fulfills me so much just to be with them. Would have loved to have been able to have experienced something like what you guys have tho. Take care guys
You had to go through operation for which illness?
@@nazishs.8327 I tour the cartilage in my hip and they had to remove some bone to straighten my leg.
Wow amazing video l l love it so much it's looks Beautiful Tiny Home Conservaton Tour Beautiful Family From Edinburg Texas
Best offroad rv conversion I've seen
I feel bad for the kids having to live their parents dreams. I'm sure its fun for the first week, but they're missing out on experiences like friends, parties and social interactions with kids their own age. Home schooling sucks.
She adores him. I’m following them. Love what they are about.
Epic build guys well done!
Absolutely awesome
Wow, a reasonable, well-made, well-designed setup, and $80k for that seems like a really good deal. You get a lot of space, a lot of practicality, and a lot of storage for a fair price. I almost never see that. Usually these videos feature a $400k overlander that would hold 2 people for a weekend trip. You guys did it right.
I love the home and the family God bless you and great job 💗
Only thing not sure about bunk for older son as dad mentioned trailer was also for things you wouldn’t want in the rig or things that smell, not sure that’s the best place for the young man. Otherwise all looks good. One commenter mentioned they have since sold the rig. If so hopefully they got a good return on their investment.
I can't fathom why the parents didn't have a separate bedroom in such a large rig. So if they sold it, that's a good thing
Boys smell!!
Obviously, he smells! 😂🤪🤣😷
Cool and nice video. Looking forward for more!!
Such a great experience for adults and children!
Well done.
This is a very impressive build. Nice job all around. It's not a truck. It's an entire friggen house!
Genius build. Those 12ft slideouts are amazing!
You are living my dream. Remain blessed
The interior wood work looks amazing. Love the 6x6 conversion. The only thing I don't like is the small fuel tank; personally, I would upgrade that to at least 100 gal since the truck has low fuel economy and just incase of emergencies.
This is a fantastic build! I love to see families traveling together. You homeschool your kids, too, even better. God Bless.
Beautiful home!
It is clear that she loves her husband and he seems to be agood one. Nice family

Amazing!!!
I would have liked to see the oldest son's space in the trailer better
Did they show it? Seems like I missed it
I worked at the factory in Sealy in 1998.
This Is Very Beautiful House 😍😍
This is so cool! Nicely thought out, great size & well made. Living the dream!
Qsrtfwz
I like it but I could only live there with one other person and a fixed shower. Very nice rig though!
Wow awesome inside look beautiful enjoy 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌻
I see you state you store stuff in your trailer that you said smells. So is your son exosed to that. I can't imagine the work for the wife. Cooking in such a small space. I hope the family doesn't do anything until you all help with dishes. What an adventure for kids. Nice work!
What a MONSTER RV..........LOVE IT 🤪💯%
great Tiny House🏠
Wow I think your doing it right lots of families don't spend enough time together if I was rich i would give you money
Awesome !
This is really nice! I would love to how to get the music in this video. Can you tell me the name of the music?
Awesome ❤
Very cool! 🚙
Yeah the privacy part is a problem. But other than that it's a fantastic rig. Great ideas for the problems you faced.
