This box truck is so stealthy that it’s difficult to tell it’s a luxury camper with its own patio.
Box trucks are the perfect vehicles to convert into campers, thanks to their ample space and affordability.
YouTuber Gallichan Truck Life NZ checked out the truck built by, Peter, who imported the Japanese 2020 Isuzu Forward to New Zealand for the conversion.
The inside revealed a few surprises, plus Peter revealed he built it for his wife in just a handful of days.

Peter said that he built the camper so his wife could live and work across New Zealand.
The design brief was a simple, no-fuss home on wheels that provided his wife with everything she would need.
Incredibly, Peter revealed to the YouTuber that he built the mobile home in less than a month.
It took him just 28 days to complete it.
Peter got nearly no outside assistance with the build, with a friend helping install the vans solar panels and wiring.
The most impressive part of the truck is that opening the hydraulic tail reveals two French doors.
This creates a very ‘homely’ look.

Add in the lift at the rear, and the truck has its own small patio for sitting outside and enjoying the view.
Step inside, and a small foldable ladder takes you into the Box truck’s interior.
Peter deliberately didn’t add a dividing wall, ensuring the truck felt as roomy as possible.
There is a full kitchen inside, with a sink, 12-volt fridge and a portable stove for his wife to cook on.
Next to that is an office space, allowing Peter’s wife to work throughout the day.
There are two monitors, an office chair, and a drawer that holds all the office essentials you will need.
Unlike this mobile home, the interior and exterior are simple and minimalist.
The exterior creates a very stealthy appearance.
For most people, they won’t look twice as this truck passes them, such is its subtle design.
There is also a bathroom, and a bed, and it looks like Peter has designed a very comfortable living space.
That makes this truck perfect for working on the road or weekend getaways.
