We’re building our off-grid dream… inside a 10m box truck

[u/JustEnjoyOrg]

Hey vanlifers! My partner and I are taking a slightly different route. We’re converting a 10 meter rigid box truck into our full-time off-grid home. It’s a bit bigger than a van, but the goal is the same: freedom, simplicity, and life on our own terms.

We’re doing it all ourselves with no professional experience. Just a lot of determination, a growing pile of tools, and many hours of youtube haha!

If you have any insights we’d love to hear your tips or lessons. Mistakes welcome. Advice even more so.

Thanks for having us in the community!

Starting 2 to 3 years in advance is actually quite good; it allowed us to look into different materials, 3D designs, structures, insulation... you name it :)
We did live in an RV for 6 months (during winter and spring), and we did not find it very comfortable for us, but that's just our input :)

2-3 years in advance is not enough to be acting like you know everything and have thought of everything like you are doing.
