This 20-foot tiny house was built by We Shelter People out of Taos, New Mexico — and the specification says a lot about where it was designed to live. A 24-volt, 1.24kW solar system, a propane hot water heater, a propane heater, and a composting toilet mean it can sit well away from services, which is exactly what northern New Mexico asks of a small home.
It runs 209 square feet of interior space on a custom 20ft x 8.5ft trailer, finished to a modern standard throughout.
Editor’s note: this home was listed at $49,999 in 2021 and has sold. We Shelter People is still operating — their site is linked below, along with current listings from other sellers.

Teardrops sit at the opposite end of the spectrum from a 30-foot THOW: no plumbing, no standing room, and a galley you cook from outdoors. What they offer instead is the ability to tow behind an ordinary vehicle and go almost anywhere — which is what the off-road package on this Second Wind Freedom build is for.
It came fitted with a rooftop rack among its upgrades, taking the list price from $17,500 base to $22,370 as configured.
Editor’s note: this 2021 trailer was offered for immediate pickup and has sold. Second Wind is still building — their site is linked below, along with current listings.

These are hand built teardrop campers by Second Wind Trailers. I first learned about Nathan Pizzo and his custom-built teardrop campers back in 2014, when he first reached out after building his first camper on a 5×8 trailer.
Fast forward to today, and he’s still building them while perfecting the process. If you’re in the market for a hand-built micro camper, definitely consider a teardrop from Second Wind Trailers. Which model do you like better, the Freedom (off-roader) or the Whisper (classic-style)?

The Vista is ESCAPE’s compact studio model, and this one was specified for genuine independence: a solar setup that let it run away from hookups, on ESCAPE’s own custom steel trailer.
It measures 21 feet long (26 with the hitch), 8.5 feet wide and 9’6″ tall for 175 square feet of interior space, and it is RVIA certified — the certification that determines which parks, lenders, and insurers will take it.
Editor’s note: this off-grid Vista was listed at $76,449 in 2021, with the solar package priced around $3,100 and a $25K discount applied, and it has sold. The Vista remains in ESCAPE’s lineup — current listings are linked below.

This is a review of the Jackery 1500 lithium power station with 4 SolarSaga 100W panels.
I’ve used it to charge my electric bicycle even while on the road, for running a fan outside under a picnic table while charging my laptop, camera, drone, and smartphone too. But those are just little things. The Jackery 1500 is capable of much more, with 1800w output power, it can handle up to 7 appliances at once, including powering a full-size refrigerator with freezer and icemaker with ease just about all day long. It’s pretty incredible. Not to mention, very quiet for a generator. And you can run it indoors.
The best part, with the solar panels I can charge it up using the sun even if I’m in an off-grid location. It’s a pretty good feeling and I’m looking forward to having it in hand during storm outages, hurricane outages, road trips, and for keeping all of my electronics charged up anywhere I may be.
