From Studio Apartment to Minibus for Freedom
Budd the Bus is the home-on-wheels for Ethan, a nomad who wanted to have his own place, without spending so much money on Colorado rent.

400-Square-Foot Custom THOW with Arched Details and Two Bathrooms
Carmen and Bill downsized from a 5,000-square-foot home to this 400-square-foot custom tiny house on wheels for retirement.

Escape eOne: An All-Electric Tiny House with Two Lofts and a Catwalk
The eOne is ESCAPE’s all-electric flagship, and this build showed the configuration that makes it feel less like a tiny house and more like a small two-story home: twin lofts connected by a catwalk. Most THOWs give you one loft you crawl into. Running a walkway between two of them turns the upper level into [...]
Married Couple’s Van Life with Three Dogs
Steph is a full-time vanlifer who knows what she wants! A microwave, so she doesn’t have to cook, and a big enough water tank and hot water heater for daily showers. The van she built with her husband, Alejo, proves you can be a little “spoiled” and still live in a van. The couple actually [...]
Tiny Home Built on a Humvee Chassis
Mr. Wolf originally convinced his wife into a skoolie conversion, so long as he built it out like a home. But after some trips, they realized it couldn’t get them where they wanted to go!

Escape eONE XL: All-Electric THOW with Dual Connected Lofts
The Escape eONE XL is an all-electric tiny house on wheels built around an unusual idea: instead of one cramped sleeping loft, it has two large ones joined by a wide breezeway walkway. That single decision changes how the whole home functions. Rather than a single loft you crawl into, you get two genuine sleeping [...]

It’s awesome to see old vehicles getting a new lease on life! This 1950s British double-decker bus retired from service, came over to the U.S., was transformed into a diner, and is now an Airbnb in Oregon. How awesome!

His Super Cool Weekender Ambulance Conversion
Like so many others, Grant needed a lockdown project. Unimpressed by the costs of school buses and the quality of RVs, he came across this 1997 Freightliner FL70 MPV and decided it was the perfect rig. He works full-time at Tesla, so it took about 1.5 years for him to complete the conversion. He has [...]
Retired British Couple’s Snowplow Turned Overlander
Phil and Lynn are a charming English couple who retired and decided it was time to travel. Their overlanding rig was built off of an old military vehicle — so old that it doesn’t have any computer parts controlling the engine, making it easy for just about any mechanic to repair. Phil built the entire [...]
