A MAN revealed how he spent ￡500 on an old horsebox and turned it into a luxury tiny home - all by watching simple YouTube videos.

       Khylen Baldwin set upon the DIY project during the stifling Covid-19 lockdowns and has since completed the impressive transformation.

       What was originally a "complete impulse purchase" - the mobile home now turns over a tidy profit on Airbnb.

       In 2020, the Devon man bought the rundown vehicle on Facebook Marketplace for a mere ￡500.

       Pictures of the 1980s carriage showed its unremarkable paint job and unkempt insides.

       From there, the 37-year-old man told Business Insider the worse for wear motor "just sat around" in his backyard while he figured out what to do with it.

       He said: "I could see in my head that it would look great."

       Baldwin's first step was to gut the insides and install floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed for "much needed light".

       The Brit then went to the trouble of installing the plumbing himself and also wiring up solar panels.

       He also ripped out the front seating and turned the driver's cabin into a double bed.

       While a teacher at heart, Baldwin said he turned to YouTube to help him construct the mobile home.

       He also managed to score a trailer, which his pal helped cart to his property via a tractor.

       Baldwin converted it into an enclosed area that was completed with a bathroom and composting toilet.

       The trailer itself is 7ft wide and 21ft long and contains two double beds, a kitchen, a wood-burning stove and an indoor seating area.

       He said: "I decorated it just like my house."

       Baldwin claimed the whole package could accommodate a family of four and now rents it out on Airbnb for about ￡70 a night.

       Having finished the tiny luxury home conversion, Baldwin has his sights on a new project.

       He said: "If I found something else the same size, like an army truck, I'd be keen to do it."
