This is the story of a rooftop balcony tiny house in the desert! It has a unique exterior staircase to the rooftop. And when you go inside, there’s yet another staircase to the upstairs loft bedroom. It’s the Peacock Tiny House by Old Hippie Tiny Homes of Las Vegas, Nevada.

If you don’t like stairs, this tiny house is NOT for you! But if you do, it’s probably one of the more fun tiny homes you can find. This particular one is available as a vacation rental and you can also hire Planet Structures LLC to build it for you. The original Peacock was designed and built by Rob Millar. So what do you think? Take the tour below and let us know. Do you like staircases for your tiny home or not? Let’s talk about it!

Short School Bus Conversion with a Murphy Bed 001

This is the story of Parker’s short school bus conversion with a Murphy bed. It’s a very well-thought-out custom motor home called Bird the Bus!

I commonly talk to people who build Sprinter Camper Van conversions that have $50k-$80k invested in their rigs. I always try to convince people to consider the mini school bus conversion over a van. This video is a good example of why I think this. Enjoy!

Tesla Semi RV Render by Motor1-com

With stories of people creating their very own all-electric motorhomes and van conversions, it can’t be long before we actually see something like a ‘Tesla Motorhome’ become available, right? In fact, there’s already news of an all-electric VW bus coming back to the United States.

That’s why I’m glad Motor1.com created this now viral rendering. Why wouldn’t Tesla possibly create an all-electric motorhome? And if not Tesla, then why not any other RV manufacturer that can simply use a Tesla Semi or maybe the upcoming Tesla Pick Up Truck as a base?

Blakes Beautiful 7×11 Tiny House – The Scout THOW 0023

This is the story of Blake’s tiny tiny house. It’s a 7×11 micro home on wheels called The Scout. It’s built on a single axle trailer with a very unique and wonderful design, a reminder of how awesome tiny tiny homes can be. There’s an interesting and serendipitous story behind it too. Enjoy!

I discovered Planet Structures (of Carleton Place, Ontario) by accident while phoning around to arrange for an inspection of a used tiny house I’d put an offer on. It emerged that they had made a shell for a customer who had ordered a tiny house and then walked away from the project before completion. It turned out to be everything I had hoped for: made out of SIPs panels (lightweight, well insulated) at the micro end of tiny house (7×11 interior), and ready to be customized.

Solar-Powered All-Electric Motorhome via FLORB 001

This is the incredible story of how Joel and Keegan of Route Del Sol built a solar-powered all-electric motorhome in only two months. Incredible, right?

The downfall? Well, even with all of the solar panels, it’s not enough energy to keep moving every day unless you found somewhere to charge directly. Still pretty amazing, though, right?
