Not everyone chooses to go tiny forever — and that’s okay! Sometimes downsizing for a season is just what you need to check things off your bucket list, just like Kelly & David. They both had normal jobs in Portland and lived in a 3,000 square foot home. They chose to take a 15-month sabbatical [...]

Jim is a professional carpenter who sold his big house of 25 years and spent two months converting a cargo trailer into a stealthy DIY tiny home on wheels — complete with an ATV winch-powered Murphy bed, five different types of wood (including veneer he had been saving for 15 years), and a rear garage [...]

Prefab homes have had a negative reputation in the past for being mass-produced and poorly made but  Hewing Haus is one of several amazing companies that are challenging this stereotype by building prefab homes with quality materials and attention to detail. They have a series of small home designs ranging in size from 200 ft2 to [...]

“Why pay someone else to do something when you could learn to do it yourself and have that skill forever?” Tyler of the Broken Compass Bus heard that quote from a #buslifer when he and his wife, Raela, first began their bus build-out, and he took it to heart. From electrical to plumbing to woodworking, [...]

People have been building homes from earth for thousands of years, but here in the U.S. we have gotten far away from the practice. AECT Earth Block hopes to change that, and they produce innovative machines that compress earth into compact building bricks that are resistant to just about anything! The company owner, Ryan, built [...]

This family of 5 was living in Pennsylvania when parents, Cassidy & Dawson, said they heard God tell them to move to Tennessee. At the time, they had no family there or any connection to the state. It just so happened that Dawson’s parents were also planning a move to Tennessee! They ended up finding [...]

Alex, like so many others, was getting cabin fever during COVID. Suddenly her remote work stuck at home seemed more and more unfulfilling — but she wasn’t ready to make a major life change yet. As a self-proclaimed “high maintenance” person, she said she was the last person anyone in her life expected to choose [...]

Liz & Brandon love climbing and both had some experience with tiny living. They decided as a couple to find a tiny rig that could allow them more time to climb and better access to the best spots. While they debated with 4-wheel-drive vans, those were expensive! So instead, they found a truck and built [...]

Greg & Jess have been living #vanlife for more than three years now — two of which, they lived in a professionally-built rig. But they ended up tackling a DIY build to see if they wanted to convert vans for a living. While their van looks awesome (especially the welded steel cabinets), the experience taught [...]

This is the Roberta Vandar. It’s Darian Vander Vliet’s 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan Minivan Camper. It’s a blast from the past reader submission that slipped through the cracks from 2016 but I figured would still be an interesting van build-out to look at, so here it is! Have you ever considered traveling and camping out [...]

Now THIS is a van conversion. Advanced RV, a van building company, has created their signature “B Box,” which is essentially a box placed on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis. It provides a lot more interior space without making the van any wider, or much taller. As a result, they’re able to make these B Boxes [...]
