converts Chevrolet truck into fully functional home<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tim Johnson is the YouTuber behind the account <a

he built a log cabin on the back of his 1996 Ford F350.<\/p>\n<p>Now he spends his days traveling around Alaska and the rest of North America in his wooden dream house.<\/p>\n<p>Some mobile homes are designed to be the <a href=\"https:\/\/supercarblondie.com\/inside-rv-labeled-epitome-luxury\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">epitome of luxury<\/a>, and others are an exercise in <a href=\"https:\/\/supercarblondie.com\/lightship-l1-solar-powered-trailer\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">looking as stylish as possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, however, wanted his to be simple, functional and a place to socialize.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/supercarblondie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-look-inside-the-incredible-log-cabin-mobile-home-1.png\" target=\"_blank\"

rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>Truck House Life \/ YouTube<\/p>\n<p>He chose the Ford for its power, and it\u2019s able to pull both the weight of the camper as well as a trailer.<\/p>\n<p>Because he often takes the road less traveled, Johnson added a 6-inch lift to his tires to accommodate for potholes and road vibrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like your house going through a 5.0 earthquake constantly so they have to be built strong if you want them to last,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson chose to make his tiny home out of wood both for its aesthetic value and for another pretty ingenious reason.<\/p>\n<p>Wood is a material that is found all over the world, no matter where you drive.<\/p>\n<p>If a part of his home breaks or is damaged, he can easily find a local carpenter to help or a wood shop to do it himself.<\/p>\n<p>He sealed the wood using Captain\u2019s Varnish, the same product used to make wooden boats waterproof.<\/p>\n<p>The roof is pitched so that water and snow don\u2019t collect on it, and is fitted with a 100W solar panel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/supercarblondie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-look-inside-the-incredible-log-cabin-mobile-home-4.png\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>Truck House Life \/ YouTube<\/p>\n<p>The front porch really adds to the charm of this build.<\/p>\n<p>There are two seats, with storage underneath them, for him and a friend to sit on and enjoy the view of wherever they\u2019ve parked.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson found himself receiving so many notes under his windshield wipers from fans of the log cabin that he installed a classic American mailbox here, too.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Johnson has managed to cram an incredible amount into the 8-foot bed truck space he had to work with.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s the kitchen area, with foldaway counters and an oven large enough to make lasagne in.<\/p>\n<p>The fireplace sits opposite the kitchen which is crucial for fighting the Alaskan chill.<\/p>\n<p><a

YouTube<\/p>\n<p>According to Johnson, six people can sit comfortably in his space, which has two sofas in it.<\/p>\n<p>One unfolds easily to create a double bed, meaning the camper sleeps three people in total.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson\u2019s storage is in the floor and underneath one sofa, while the fridge slides neatly out from under the other one.<\/p>\n<p>His toilet also rolls out and looks quite discreet, almost like a large rubbish bin.<\/p>\n<p>Followers of his channel were blown away by the tour he gave of his surprisingly spacious mobile home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPut that thing in a museum!\u201d one commenter said.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why Johnson decided to choose to live in a mobile home was the cost.<\/p>\n<p>His license plate is a playful nod to his nomad lifestyle,
