This is, hands down, the prettiest and most economical box truck build we’ve encountered. It’s so awesome it deserved it’s own video. We hope this one inspires you to pursue van life, whether that be in a van-van or a box truck!
-Moritz + Sachiko

Our truck is a 2009 GMC Savana G3500 cut-away with a 12 ft box. We converted it into our tiny home on wheels and moved in May 2021 to travel North America for rock climbing, hiking, and outdoor adventures.

That is a beautiful build. It's very easy on the eye both inside and out. And i like how the lifted bed frees up space. The main reason I might prefer a conventional box truck, with the engine in front, is that some come with access paths directly from the cab to the living space -- nice if it rains. I've only seen that feature on the smaller ones, based on the GM or Ford vans.

I am interested in converting a box truck as well, I have looked at your you tube video’s multiple times. I have learned a lot from your You Tube video’s. Avery Thanks a lot for posting them and sharing them. I am also a college student so in my box truck conversion I have to plan for three to four months in remote off grid locations so I have to plan for a lot of water and food storage. It is part of a two year Earth Science research project. One dumb idea I am thing about is a idea of using extra insulation around the bed area to add to my design to use in a area with more extreme temperatures and wide a range of temperatures area a high desert valley that also can be used in the mountains. I am still in the planning stage. I know I want to try to have a mud/snow room area or spot for clothing wet and/or covered in snow. Traditional in a brink and sticks building there is normally a small hallway with a door at each end to keep the heat or the AC in I do not know if that is needed in a van or box truck.

Box truck pros: > Weight capacity, more than you could ever imagine > mpg ~ steady 13mpg full or empty > insurance ~ about $100 a month (progressive commercial plan due to GVWR) > turning radius ~ nothing short of amazing!! > trailer ~ I tow a 16 foot trailer behind with all the "other" stuff > reliability ~ nothing short of amazing, get the diesel and just drive it. Then it's just tires

Your/my vans are both very close to perfect in a number of ways. The single rear wheel insured for less than a dually would have. They are short and narrow enough to park anywhere legally. Parts are pretty cheap. The front of yours is more boxy than mine, and I think that may explain what I thought I heard you getting for fuel economy. But you have more over the cab space than I do. They have enough power for most days. More space would be cool, but I think the trade offs make it a non issue. Your van is great.

@RoadtoPitches 2 года назад
Yes that really checked all the boxes😂 A larger engine would be nice on hills, it might actually save some fuel if you don't have to floor it. But that's just minor details. What vehicle do you exactly have? Is it also a 12 ft box, just without the bulge over the cab?

@@RoadtoPitches I have the 4.8 L engine, with a Unicell aerocell cw box. It is a 12 feet long box. In a rural area in the summer, I can get as good as 16 L/100kms. In the winter it’s around 20 l/100kms.

Good video, looks like they did a great job making the best use of their box truck. I completely agree with box conversions. They are easier and cheaper to build, probably faster. I will be towing a jeep on a trailer. Promaster, Sprinters or the Ford Transit doesn't have the power to tow anything that heavy. Last week I got 12.3 mpg and I was so happy 🤣. Always a thumbs up 👍
@RoadtoPitches
@RoadtoPitches 2 года назад
Wow, I don't think we ever got more than 11mpg. (Well except down hill😂). 11 ain't super bad but maybe that's the one thing regular vans are better at.
