Morgan invited her now-boyfriend Logan to hop on her van journey. She was relieved to have help with her build and lifestyle, and he was eager to live off the land all over the country after living that way in Louisiana — hunting and fishing for his own food.
Their van really breaks the mold of typical Promaster conversions, with it’s awesome tin ceiling and futon-style bed that creates a whole different layout than most vans. The build out wasn’t expensive, and they used lots of reclaimed items or cheap lumber from Home Depot to create a stellar home on wheels.

Ever dreamt of a space that’s both a creative haven and a hangout spot? Meet Amir and his son, who transformed a humble cart into a multifunctional caravan wagon that’s perfect for work, play, and everything in between. From its clever tilting walls to the charming outdoor shower, this handcrafted gem is a testament to innovative design and father-son bonding. Dive into their inspiring story and discover the magic of tiny living!
Amir emailed us this week to show off the awesome caravan wagon he and his 15-year-old son built together. It’s a space for them to hang out and work.
The story is that I wanted to build a small wagon for me and my son to have a place for recreation in our village.
So we built it on a small cart we found. Bigger than the cart. It has a small balcony with a kitchen.
And a shower outside under a tree.
I use it for writing and meeting people for coaching; and my son ( 15 y.o.) for hanging out with his friends.
I am an architect in my profession, and a coach. My son is in arts highschool here in Israel.

Build Tiny’s clever designs never fail to amaze me, and their Riverbank Tiny House is so exception. We see A LOT of tiny homes here, and they always seem to find innovative ways to cleverly include everything you could want from a tiny house.
You’ll have to watch the video to see how they managed to get a washer/dryer unit into this little house, and you’ll also find that there’s standing room in the bedroom loft, and office loft where you can comfortably sit up and work, and a kitchen that includes a dishwasher!
The pegboard wall in the living room means the new owner can mix up her shelving situation whenever she wants! Enjoy the tour below and tell us what you think in the comments.

This pair of mirrored treehouses in Kentucky reminds me of the Swiss Family Robinson compound! They are a fantastic blend of yurt-like round architecture, but hung in the trees to make them even more awesome.
Mirrors in a chevron pattern on the exterior of the pods reflects the beauty of the trees back at you. One pod is a living area, and the other one houses the two beds and a couple of hammocks. At ground level there is a third pod which has the bathroom.
What a super cool spot! Enjoy the photo tour below.

Brittani & Adam got married and then though it was time to settle down and do the “adult” thing of holding full-time jobs and renting an apartment, saving for a house. But on their honeymoon they discussed their dreams of jumping into vanlife.
It took three years, but they eventually chased that dream, selling everything and hopping into Clifford (their big red van!). They travel along with Levi, an adorable Aussie pup.
They are such a sweet couple! Enjoy their video tour with Tiny House Giant Journey below.

The truly amazing thing about tiny homes is how they challenge designers and builders to be incredibly creative. Build Tiny (New Zealand) has really outdone themselves with their “Autumn” design, custom-made for a client.
This compact home includes hidden appliances, a sneaky doggie crate with dog-door access, a floating hammock net for relaxing, and a bedroom loft that also doubles as a work-from-home office.
And just wait until you see the mural on the back of the bathroom door! It’s definitely worth watching the brief video tour below so you can see all the details.

These fraternity brothers weren’t interested in doing another year of online college, so they decided to convert a 1999 Thomas 3800 DT466E school bus and hit the road instead.
They had a tight budget of $10K, including the cost of the bus itself. Amazingly, they managed to stay pretty close to budget and were still able to raise the roof and add a shower and wood stove, and everything else they wanted.
Right now the guys are living off of their savings and see what the U.S. has to offer before jobs tie them down. Enjoy their video tour below.

Linnea’s cabin-style van build is amazingly cozy! Even though this was the first thing she had *ever* built, the only thing she really regrets is the size of her sink. The whole van is filled with natural wood and wood grain, including her live-edge slab desk that also becomes her outdoor table.
Because she’s known for a long time that she wanted to pursue van life, she made choices that would ultimately make the decision an easier transition. First, she had an online fitness and nutrition business, but her YouTube channel has become so popular it pays her bills now!
