A better solution is a flatbed with a shipping container on it.

That way if you want to settle down you merely have to dig a 500ft deep hole to drop the container into instead of the inconvenience of buying a house

>>1711499

It can be even cheaper than that if you're good at wrenching, I'd love to get an armored vehicle and retrofit that.

>>1711656
Wayne *is* a stupid boomer so it should be perfect for him.

>>1711497
I mean, you're not wrong, but the perennial problems of:

1) Insulation
2) Electricity
3) Bathroom

Still exist. Winter climate? Tough titties. Don't want to run a gas genenrator 24/7? Either have to live in a campground or some sort of electrical drop that takes normal plug. Bathroom and shower? Campground again, or you're installing a water tank, heater and pump. Or just having a outhouse on your lot.

>>1711758
>I'd love to get an armored vehicle and retrofit that.
Why? It's so heavy, terrible gas mileage and your death trap. You'll attract violence with it. Be undercover and put sandbags on the inside of this moving truck where you sleep if your that paranoid.

I think tiny home people are the absolute biggest brainless in the world. they are People who can't accept they are economically impoverished and have to live in a trailer, so to save face 'so they think' they beg borrow and steal to make 'one of trailers' but in full denial of the position in life's game of who can collect money, they have somehow either missed that boat or never tried to even catch it or don't know what a boat is. Either way, tiny homes are a waste. Just buy a trailer used on craigslist and save money while you get your life back, that's what I did.

A lot of positive things are happening in my life and I can't share them with you because the time is not right. Just know I have a long term battle plan and I'm about 20% in to it.

>>1711977

Yes, this is Wayne. If that truck is for sale in December, I'll probably buy it. It's perfect, because it's duriable and looks like a real moving van, because it is. It's the perfect spy van or undercover office. My friend and I got board and decided to make an office on wheels 15 years ago. Now it's my turn to make mine. What is an office on wheels? It's actually your man cave on wheels, but not a fucking motorhome. I'm putting a party deck on the roof. This is going to massive, large and heavy. 7 mpg. Roll up the the beach. Kick it in your office chair and dream of the next big thing!

>>1711497
So how do you plan on making a living?

>>1711497
I think for $4500 you could possibly buy an old skoolie someone had already converted.

>>1711994
>So how do you plan on making a living?

How do you make your living? It's an honest question.

>>1711998
>I think for $4500 you could possibly buy an old skoolie someone had already converted.

You're right. The trick is finding one. I found a short bus conversion for retards. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/cto?query=school+bus&auto_bodytype=1&auto_bodytype=2&auto_bodytype=3&auto_bodytype=4&auto_bodytype=5&auto_bodytype=6&auto_bodytype=7&auto_bodytype=8&auto_bodytype=9&auto_bodytype=10&auto_bodytype=11&auto_bodytype=13

>>1712002
To find something like this you'd have to put up a listing on the various RV and skoolie forums, and start calling around to junkyards and otherwise snooping and sniffing until you got a lead on some guy in his 80s who built one 30 years ago that's been sitting out next to the barn for the last 20 years.

>>1712002

Doesn't solve the insulation problem. Sure you can heat it, but can you efficiently trap that heat and not waste it and whatever fuel u are burning. And, this may just be me, but a box truck exhausting wood smoke seems like something you call firefighters about.

>>1711497

My last prospect for a base vehical.

>>1712209
GORGEOUS interior fitted in oak throughout! Had no milage, but very high hr meter for run time. Passed. $8100 final bid. A lot of truck and the interior was great!

>>1712211
The next prospect, under 100K miles. A Ford F650 prisoner transport bus. This has ACRES of roof for panels! We'll start on solar later...

>>1712213
Advantages: secure storage (lol), 2 toilets already installed. I would remove the black tank for composting toilet, so minimal advantage unless just using for gray tank.

>>1712215
It's actually more than I want or need and the milage would suck. But like the trolly, kinda quirky, so style points for that. Really (currently) looking to a 12-18 passenger shuttle bus over Dodge Promaster, just for the volume.

Note: the prisoner bus is currently at ~$4100 and ALOT of truck for the price!

Hansome Lambright right again. The future is bright!

A dry cargo box trailer would be cheaper and better. Can be dropped off. Should be able to haul it with smaller vehicles. Depends on what you use to make it. They tend to leak a lot less. Not as many seams and joints.

Are you forgetting about the *armored* part of "armored car"? Unless the owner is dumb enough to be unarmed, the only way attackers would be a problem is if they come at the truck with anti-tank guns and/or HEAT munitions, and I doubt that the average gang, let alone average criminal, has either.

>>1712903
>Are you forgetting about the *armored* part of "armored car

Petrol bombs win always.
I don't forget anything.

>>1713063
>fire bombs always win
Except against shit that's fireproofed and/or fire suppression measures, which wouldn't be difficult to implement. Also, a successful fire bombing would destroy anything worth stealing.

>>1713077

>Except against shit that's fireproofed and/or fire suppression measures, which wouldn't be difficult to implement.
OK, this is /diy/ tell us how you would build it.

>>1713088
For starters, I'd have an alarm that would go off if excessive temperatures are detected, it'd wake me up if it happens overnight, and if I'm awake, it'd warn me that something was wrong if I didn't already notice things like smoke, people shouting at my vehicle, etc. For protecting the sides and top, I'd focus on using fire resistant insulation, the armor and side panels will already distribute the heat, all I'd need to do is insulate interior objects. As for the undercarriage, I'd use electronically controlled auto-extinguishers that would release carbon dioxide upon detection of excess heat underneath the vehicle.

>>1713096
>For starters

>>1714992
>? How do you think I failed at life, I'm curious.
Not that anon you asked but you use 4chan as your social outlet and most of your ideas revolve around growing dope or making up free energy devices. I'm not hating but this hardly qualifies you as successful. As soon as your body starts giving you more problems life will get a lot harder. You're not too far from that age and I guess you've already noticed you're not a young lad anymore.
It's ok though as long as you're happy I guess but what if you realise you've been chasing clouds when it's too late?

I hope you're happy and life will just keep being good to you.

>>1714992
>How do you think I failed at life, I'm curious.

Many reasons, but the one that comes to mind is your need to plaster your stupid fat face all over 4chan.

>>1712044
holy shit, LOL !

I was thinking of converting my shed into a tiny house. I heard you can use bubble wrap as insulation.
Should i try it, or just buy insulation from the home improvement store?

I kinda wanna do a box truck or a bus but I don't want to live in an RV park.

>>1711497
I would use a shipping container because van boxes are quite delicate. I already have four containers, two welded together as a shop, and they are easy to work with and storm and vermin proof (nice for my lathe and mill etc). I'd copy military and industrial residential container interiors for living space because they do it best, end of story. All the usual problems noobs encounter are solved by copying success. The Sea Box site has a wide variety of ideas to copy. It's easy to add personnel doors and windows as desired. I don't want windows so I put one man door on the end opposite the end doors.

If I needed the container moved I'd call a mover with a Landoll travelling axle trailer (if it's a 40' or longer) or a wrecker service with a medium or heavy duty rollback (if it's a 20') because fuck paying for a truck that mostly sits. I've already had a shop bus and their layout is utterly restrictive.

All you need to know is on the internet. This guy did it well but not being a hardcore DIYer paid more than I would for the same result. http://www.tincancabin.com/

Not against serious armored vehicles like MRAP. You lack military experience. Besides which, no sane user would linger in an urban area or where goblins would have an easy time. Armored vehicles are intended to move, not sit as pill boxes awaiting destruction.

>>1713096
You wouldn't build it because you aren't genuinely familiar with AFV construction and are purely LARPing. In SHTF you need to be away from goblins in the first place, with no need to stay in place or traverse enemy territory.

Naw. I'm just saddened watching this pathetic waste of O2 trying to shill every crackpot idea on the planet and stinking up this board. What I care about are the mods not moderating and allowing this garbage, as they usually do. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is a relative or gay lover of this quack. Who knows maybe he has a pic of the mods getting it on with a real grill and he's holding it over them so he can use this place to make himself feel better.

I'm sick of the trolling, the shilling and the sheer lack of competence, especially from the mods about this. Diy used to be awesome, educational and fun until this dufus showed up. I wish the mods and Wayne would go fuck themselves. If I ran so many shill threads I'd be banned. Not this fuckwad cause he's like a brony to them.
