How A Homeless Veteran Turned A $900 Retired Mail Truck Into An Off-Grid Home
#Veterans #HomelessVeterans #DomeVillage #EmergencyHousing #TinyHomes #survival Ray Hollis paid $900 for a retired USPS Grumman mail truck with a slipping transmission that nobody else wanted. A 22-year Army motor pool veteran and 19-year truck mechanic, he rebuilt it himself and turned it into a fully off-grid home for under $1,900 total — insulation, solar power, water storage, and a door that locks from the inside. Right now the Postal Service is retiring over 130,000 of these trucks, and every one is headed to public auction. This video documents exactly how Ray found his, what he paid, how he got it titled, how he built it out, and where he legally parks it — including the two mistakes that almost ended the whole project.
