Hey dgorila1,
Thanks! Yes we did use a stock cargo box, a 24'6" Supreme Corp. van box. It still had the roll up door on the back and steel threshold on the floor in the back, we just put the time in to construct a new header and took the door down. We then ordered original aluminum upright studs from supreme, and bought two pre-painted aluminum panels to rivet on the back. From there we just let our imaginations take over, and did the interior completely to our custom desires. The sky is the limit, really.
Minus the cost of the truck, we put roughly $40,000 in the coach in materials. Spread over four, four and a half years, it really is achievable. We did everything in-house except for our countertops.
It's a real joy to know that we built every single inch of it ourselves, and know exactly what it's made of. You can take a lot of pride in building something like this with your own hands.
Thanks!
