Cristin calls herself the “Badass Brunette” on social media, and you’ll see why after watching this video tour of her Overlander 4×4 Truck Camper that she’s been living in for the past year. Originally, living full-time on the road was only going to be a temporary adventure, but by putting herself out there, Cristin was able to find remote work that’s allowed her to keep going!
Her truck camper is one-of-a-kind for sure: With a pop-up roof tent bed equipped with her solar panels and a memory foam mattress, a batwing awning that covers more than half her rig in shade, and her custom-build tailgate where she cooks and hangs out. What do you think of her rig?
This is the retro trailer cabin with trampoline awnings fixed onto the roof of the trailer to give you shade on your private patio. This tiny house is located in Joshua Tree, California.
Outside, glampers will have their own private patio, which is shaded by two fixed trampolines on the roof of the trailer, as well as an antique clawfoot bathtub and lounge chairs for watching the sunrise or observing the bright night sky.
Van Baja offers tourists an adventurous and affordable way to see all the ins and outs of Baja, Mexico by renting one of their awesome vans! There’s a special cabinet designed to fit carry-on luggage, an optional portable toilet that hides under the dinette, and swivel seats, so you can sit and socialize or eat a meal.
The vans come with outdoor living accessories like chairs, a table, and an awning. There’s plenty of storage for anything you bring along and a comfortable fixed bed in the back of the van. What do you think?
Guillermo has lived all over the world. Born in Argentina, he spent a few years in Florida before doing most of his growing up in Spain. As an adult, he moved to the US where he’s lived for 26 years in a number of states including Pennsylvania, Texas, and California. Bus life had always been on his bucket list, but he jumped into it quite rapidly after meeting the woman who renovated this VW bus.
She was looking for more space, and before he knew it, Guillermo was buying it from her! It has awesome murals that she put in, a beautiful coat of turquoise paint, and lovely striped upholstery. Its small size means that he does most of his living outdoors — which is how he likes it!
The “Megalodon” is an incredible rig both inside and out. Meg is a “wholistic” nutritionist & fitness coach and practices what she preaches in her amazing 4×4 van conversion that she shares with her four — big — dogs. She got into van life because she loved traveling and changing things up, but hated leaving her dogs behind.
Because of that, she designed her van around her dog’s needs, including a pull-down ramp that allows them easy access to her bed and a comfortable kennel beneath the bed for relaxing. She prioritized a wet bath inside the rig and a huge fridge to keep all her healthy food. The conversion is just brimming with cool features, so be sure to watch her tour below!
Yanick and Sonja had spent years too poor to travel and then in school and with jobs that tied them down. When Yanick finally finished school, they were free to go on an adventure, but not willing to backpack in their 30s. So van life (or, SUV-life) was a great option for them.
They refer to their self-converted Toyota Land Cruiser as their “two-story apartment” because of the pop top that allows them to sleep on the upper level at night. They also have couch-to-bed option on the first level when they need to stealth camp. Their giant batwing awning allows them to be outside in any kind of weather. What do you think?
We’re excited to introduce you to a new tiny house builder: Smith Tiny Homes! Here’s their story:
My husband and I both built this together. This was our first time building a tiny house. He has 30 years in building. I have none. We started our business in summer/fall 2022. Our business is Smith Tiny Homes, Smith, Tiny and Solar. The idea behind our business is with my husband’s 30 years in construction, and we lived off the grid for 5 years, really why not. The cost of living is terrible. With that in mind we try to keep the cost of our tiny homes down.
Check out the pictures below of their model tiny home, which is for sale for $75K.
Julianna is quite possibly the coolest person we’ve seen living alternatively! Her energy is contagious, and her willingness to travel solo in her off-road Toyota FJ Cruiser is an inspiration.
Everything she needs is packed into her car, including an impressive amount of food. She has a “coffin” bed that folds down at night, complete with eight pillows to keep her comfortable. Don’t miss this great tour below!
Josh and Emily both had remote jobs in the engineering field, so there was nothing holding them back from pursing a nomadic life! They chose a skoolie conversion to allow them to truly customize their rig — and with their engineering experience — they built one of the most incredible buses we’ve seen so far!
A roof raise allowed for ample headspace and enabled them to lift the floors in the back of the bus for more in-floor storage. But it’s their food storage and organization that will make your jaw drop! Everything fits in beautiful glass jars. They even fit two office spaces in the rig — at opposite ends — so they wouldn’t bother each other while working from home. Enjoy the tour below!
