Most people look at a worn white box van and see deliveries. Maxwell Peters looked at a 25-year-old Ford E-350 moving van and saw a finished off-grid home — tall enough to stand in, tough enough for the road, and quiet enough to park under the trees. In his full tour on YouTube, he walks [...]

The Abundance of Less: A Japanese-Inspired Tiny House With a Genkan and Tokonoma
The Abundance of Less is a Japanese-inspired tiny house: a genkan just inside the 12-pane door where shoes come off, a tokonoma alcove for something worth looking at, and tansu-style storage stairs climbing toward two lofts. Steel and cedar outside, timber frame and spruce floors in. 250 square feet, two beds, one bath. It’s listed [...]

Most van lifers are trying to squeeze a life into 60 square feet. Waldemar took a different approach entirely. He bought a massive 10-ton MAN commercial delivery truck — originally an airport transport vehicle from Frankfurt, Germany with only 100,000 km on an engine rated for 1.5 million — and spent a year and a [...]
Tall Couple’s 600-Sq.-Ft. Reconfigurable Tiny Home
Scott and Susan Burbank, originally “boat people” from the Pacific Northwest, spent four years traveling the country in a converted semi-truck before deciding to settle down in Tucson, Arizona.
