A FILM nut turned a tractor trailer into a home with a bathroom - and it's more luxurious than most homes.

YouTuber Timbo727 was inspired to create his tiny house after watching Tom Hardy epic Mad Max: Fury Road.

So he purchased a US-made Toterhome which sits on the back of a Freightliner truck and began a three year-long conversion.

The engineer, whose real name is Tim, now has an extraordinary home complete with all manner of mod cons.

Walking into the trailer, an overhead bunk above the cab acts as one of the beds while a sofa offers another place to get your head down.

To utilise the space, a storage unit fits under the sofa.

This is positioned opposite an ethanol-powered fireplace fitted with a TV which, at the touch of a button, emerges out the top.

Surround sound and blackout blinds mean film-mad Tim can kick back and enjoy a movie in peace and quiet.

But the epic RV conversion doesn't finish there.

He's fitted a stainless steel kitchen with full working draws and there's even dishwasher so he doesn't have to do the washing up.

A full-size propane-fulled fridge, gas hob, microwave and sink finish off the culinary corner.

Marble and wood floors are found throughout the conversion.

After a stressful week, Tim can crack open a drink at his very own bar which comes with its own ice buckets.

Moving through the living area you arrive in the bathroom.

The YouTuber has managed to install a stylish full-size rainfall shower with a skylight.

A vanity sink features on one side while a toilet is neatly tucked away behind a door on the other.

A washer/dryer is tucked under the bathroom units so he can do his laundry as normal.

But perhaps the most impressive area of the RV is the bedroom which triples as a dining and study area with a drop-down table.

Two bench units sit either side meaning he can seat four for dinner.

Once Tim's ready for bed he simply flicks open two latches on the wall.

As if by magic, a queen-size bed appears from the wall as the dining table collapses away.

He says: "It rolls right back up and really doesn't require any force.

"It's hydraulically assisted up then you just re-lock it down."

Privacy blinds come down to give total darkness to drift off to sleep.

Tim finished his incredible home in 2020 and a video of the end product has over 143,000 views on YouTube.
