DIY Inspiration: Tour This Rustic ‘Cabin on Wheels’

Start with a 1996 Ford F-350 pickup truck. Add a lot of lumber, creativity, and labor, and you wind up with an “overland truck cabin.” Tim Johnson is an Alaskan snowboarder and kayaker who travels in this sweet homemade truck cabin.

For those interested in pursuing this kind of project, his video addresses lots of DIY pointers. For example, Johnson waterproofed the wood structure with marine varnish. He overengineered the corners for durability but lightened the walls with two-by-two lumber. And the tips go on.

So if you’re looking for a major project to get productive during quarantine, check it out. This is one cool camper!
