This story on housetruck tiny homes is a guest post by Michael Ostaski (builder)
Alex, I’m a big fan of your newsletter, and wanted to introduce myself.
I have a few new developments in my life and would like to share them with the tiny house community.
First off I have been an artist gypsy my whole life, I have built 4 house trucks and the interiors of several more in my time.

I was part of the “Pacific Northwest Touring Company” from Eugene Oregon with all the guys and gals in the books “rolling Homes” and “some turtles have nice shells” so anyway I just finished one of the nicest house trucks you will ever see-!

I would like to start a business building tiny homes with my sense of design and style.
I also would like to sell my original house truck 1948 International and even offer up this new one as well 1999 Sterling, Here’s a few pictures and I have many more pictures to post.

That one is absolutely stunning!
Thanks Pat, i agree!
I totally love these 2 truck homes! They are so customized and gorgeous and are probably quite expensive? They are beyond the ‘tiny’ house look. Who would want a Class A motor home, when you could have this!
Wow, this first one is what I call Gypsy-licious! Totally AWESOME. I hope this builder becomes a regular contributor and sends us all the pics on each new endeavor. This is one vardo I’d love to take on the drom!
PS LOVE the mollycroft!!! 😀
Gypsy-licious! I love it 😀
Would like to talk with you sometime. I am a designer and builder and love building small homes. If you get a moment drop me a line
I would love to talk with you about building Tiny Houses. I have land and many connections to funding and I would like to start a Tiny Houses building company here in Jacksonville, NC. We have a great built in workforce as we have many Marines getting out of military and they want to stay here as we are only a few minutes from Atlantic Ocean. Great number of single men and retirees in area who want to downsize. I think it is a great place for the Tiny House Movement. So far, no competition in area. I am interior designer and great sewer of draperies, upholstered furniture etc. It sounds like our skills could mesh. Please call me at 910-346-2054.

Wow these are quite superb and you have a great sense of balance in your designs. Hope to see more of your work in the future. Do you have a blog spot or web page? Thanks for sharing….Cheers from Australia
Michael, There’s just one word to sum it up my Friend…..” Phenomenal “…
Thanks Rick. Agreed!
Wow; Michael, you are an artist! This is one of the most beautifully crafted truck homes EVER!!! Hats off to you; you inspire me.
Thanks Juli, glad it inspired you too.
I am stunned to see something so beautiful and so well put together, both trucks are stunning
Thanks Mary
Have you thought about selling the old IHC truck on oldihc.org website? That is a rare truck to begin with, before the wonderful house was added. Bill
How much? I am very interested
Will let everyone know soon if and when he decides to put them up for sale. Give us about another week! Thanks Mike!
Hi Michael,
these are lovely truck homes! What are your asking prices in the trucks that you are selling?
Prices, etc. and potential sale of them coming soon after Michael contacts me with more info. Thanks Lynn!
I love the richness of the wod and design of both these trucks. Well done!
Thanks Marsha! Very inspiring and lots of detail on these trucks.
Love both of these, but I prefer the first one. Incredible workmanship. I’m a taker!
They’re both unbelievably beautiful. If I could pick, I’d also take the first (newer) one. Thanks Kathi!
verryyy beautifull! I am from Estonia, and i am just starting to build my first truck home…or maybe…..so what about prices and contacts!?
These house trucks are fine art. If there’s ever a tiny home edition of “House Beautiful” magazine, they belong on the cover.
Thanks Thomas. I totally agree 🙂
I would totally enjoy living there …I will take it lol
Me too Cheryl! Thanks!
I knew Michael nearly forty years ago in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Did a tour of his original housetruck. All I gotta say, he was an artist then, and only gotten better since. Anyone wanting to start up a business with this guy would be nuts not to partner with him. Nuff said.
Would like more info.
Does the Pacific Northwest Touring Co.still exist? We have a small converted school bus I did 33 years ago and have been to the east coast and back as well as many other place and would like to meet and camp with other bus, house truck folks. We live in northern Cal.
Thanks for any information out there, Bill
