Tom Miller found a 1989 F350 diesel dually army ambulance and transformed it (with no building experience, mind you) into a fantastic family camper/bug out vehicle!
The “Fambulance” as he calls it, has been outfit to meet his family of three’s needs for weekend trips and in case of a real “bug out” survival scenario. At only 100 square feet, it’s quite tight inside (you have to be under 5″2′ to stand upright), but he’s made it into quite the neat vacation home complete with live-edge maple countertops and hand-sewn curtains.
Miller recommends gutting the entire ambulance and not trying to save much of the existing cabinetry, since it all interconnected and tough to reassemble. Watch the rest of his video tour with Tiny Home Tours for more tips and tricks!

Meet Sofia and Ruben, two 19-year-olds who decided to ditch online COVID-era college and travel the country in their updated RV instead!
I’ll confess, I’m a rule-follower and care a little too much what others think of me. That’s why I think their youthful exuberance is so attractive! No doubt they’ll get far more memories from life on the road than life in their high school bedrooms taking classes online. Good for them!
This tour by Tiny Home Tours was taken on their very first day of travelling, but now they’ve been on the road for about 7 weeks, and you can check out their travels on Instagram here.

This family of three travels in their DIY mini bus conversion, “Fern 2” — a near-duplicate of the couple’s first bus conversion named Fern. Fern 2 became home after Mande and Ben added son Sawyer to the family.
The tiny bus includes a portable toilet in the closet area, and an outdoor shower set-up you’re sure to envy. The inside of the bus is absolutely impeccable, with bright colors and clean lines that make it feel much larger than it really is. Instead of building in a bed for Sawyer, they found a small pack and play to set up which they can take down as needed. Brilliant!
Tiny Home Tours did a great interview with the couple (Mande is a school teacher and Ben fixes boats) which you can watch below! Follow them on Instagram here.

Jordan and Scotty had a 2,200 square foot home on 10 acres of land, but were killing themselves trying to afford that lifestyle. So they bought an RV and made it home, and in the first year saved about $13,000!
The couple have five kids (3 full time, 2 they share custody of) in their amazing RV renovation, parked on Jordan’s mother’s land. They’ve lived tiny for 2 years now, and plan to continue doing so until they can afford to build a home.
I love their story because it shows that sometimes radical tiny living can be a temporary solution to living life with less financial stress. Even if you don’t plan on having 7 people in under 400 square feet forever, it might help you reach other goals! We got to interview Jordan, so be sure to read that Q&A at the end of the post. Follow the family on Instagram here.

Ricci and Kyle want their kids to grow up realizing that possessions and material things won’t last forever, so they chose to go tiny in a new 5th wheel RV!
Kyle is in the Army, so having a mobile home allows them to take it wherever the military may call them (state-side, of course). They live in an RV park close to Kyle’s post, that has lots of family-friend amenities.
Inside the RV the kids share an awesome bunk room, while Kyle and Ricci have a Master bedroom on the other side of the home. We got to do a Q&A with Ricci about their 6 months living tiny, which you can read after the awesome photo tour of their home. Follow them on Instagram here.

This unique screened-in tiny cottage tucked in a woodland grove among a flower farm is a couple steps up from sleeping open-air, and the best way to do so while still sleeping in a comfortable bed!
The cottage has no walls, just screens surrounding the queen-sized bed with luxury linens. A clear plastic roof allows you to see the treetops, while keeping the elements from soaking you. You can cook over the firepit (although make sure to keep food in your car so as not to attract wildlife), and take a shower with the solar shower provided in the nearby outhouse. There’s also a composting toilet there.
This is a one-of-a-kind experience you can’t get many other places! Book it here on Airbnb.
