If you want tool time this fall, two schools still have dated tiny-house classes on the calendar: a 9-day build near Asheville, and a run of interior trim and cabinetry sessions in upstate New York.
Two September weekends, two different kinds of van gathering. Adventure Van Expo finishes 2026 at The Village at Palisades Tahoe in Olympic Valley, California — Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12–13. Five days later, VanWILD opens at The Camper’s Hub in Montrose, Colorado: four days built around using the van, not walking a parking lot.
Tiny Home Tours walks Mollie through her single-story cottage in Winston-Salem, North Carolina — 8.5 feet wide by 36 feet long, about 306 square feet, no loft. The video tour, as of August 27, 2026, puts the all-in cost at about $160,000: $150,000 for the home and $10,000 for a 40-by-8-foot wraparound deck.
Never Too Small walks Yoshinani House, the Musashi-Kosugi rental that video producer Takashi ‘Ryu’ Harada and graphic designer Nodoka ‘Kamado’ Miyamoto named after an old word that means, roughly, “whatever works.” The listing title is 55 m² / 592 sq ft — not a tape-measure — in Kanagawa Prefecture, between Tokyo and Yokohama.
Kayla was 21 when she bought 25 acres in the Tasmanian wilderness. Eighteen months later a bushfire took her first home. What stands there now is a little off-grid cabin she made from what survived — salvaged materials, about AU$7–10k — and she’s been living in it nearly nine years, just her and her dog Jemba.
Tiny House Giant Journey walks Shelby’s 30-foot tiny house on a trailer, tucked among the redwoods and a short drive from the Oregon coast. The tiny house features a stand-up bedroom loft, downstairs offices, and more.
Patrick Botticelli of New Jersey Outdoor Adventures just walked us through one of the most configurable cargo-trailer campers we have seen: the prototype Search4 Outdoors S4. In his YouTube tour, Patrick meets Mike, the creator behind Search4 Outdoors, and spends a full half hour moving kitchens, wet baths, and a rear glass sunroom like they are furniture — because on this trailer, they are.
Titan Vans builds camper conversions in Boulder, Colorado, on Mercedes Sprinters and Ford Transits. Classic starts at $44,995, Metis at $74,995, Ultra at $88,995 — conversion only; the van is not included. Those are the published start prices on titanvans.com as of August 26, 2026.
A new holiday cabin in the Cairngorms National Park is clad in mirrors, topped with a living grass roof, and tucked in a mature pine forest at Corgarff. From the path, it almost disappears. One cabin is open now — the first of more planned on a family hill bought in the 1980s.
