Reset A− A+ Meet John. He’s a 75-year-old man who built this awesome tiny house truck for him and his wife to travel the world in. Even better, they even use it as their primary home when in Homer, Alaska.

Once John found the Mitsubishi 4×4 truck he wanted to use as the base of his custom-built motorhome he was able to build a tiny house onto the truck’s frame in a matter of only 4 weeks!

How did he do it only four weeks?! It’s pretty simple…

He’s built custom-made tiny homes on wheels more than a dozen times before.

In fact, he and his wife have been living this way for more than 30 years! They even brought up their children this way.
