A 21-year-old American spent about $2,940 to build an insulated wooden mini-home in the bed of a used 2003 Ford Ranger. According to sources, he used the vehicle as housing and traveled across the US without paying rent for more than a year.
One source cites the cost as $2,940, another as around $3,000. Otherwise, the details match: the mini-home is fully insulated, and the pickup was transformed into a camper.
