Ben was a construction worker who loved to ski when an accident on the slopes left him wheelchair-bound. It took many years of physical therapy and new perspectives on life to urge him into van life. He chose a box truck and spent 18 months converting it himself for about $50,000.
His van meets all of his needs, with a bathroom, a kitchen with accessibility countertops, an elevator bed, and a super high-tech chair. Enjoy his inspiring story below!

Well, here’s something different! A tiny house duplex. Built for the original portion of the ESCAPE tiny house village in Tampa, this double Boho was built for Palm Court. It’s no longer listed for sale or for rent, but it’s still part of the ESCAPE Tampa Bay Village, and units there do open up from time to time. If you like this one, it’s always worth checking their available units page and their rentals page to see what’s currently open.
The two 20-foot tiny homes are built as one unit, each separate section including a first-floor bed, galley kitchen, and small bathroom with a standard shower stall. They have their own separate entrances. Do you like the idea of a tiny duplex?
Either way, the layout is a smart look at how two tiny homes can share one trailer without sharing a wall you’d notice.

Rachel had been wanting to try nomadic life for a while and finally decided to just go for it. While her dad originally said he wanted nothing to do with the project, when Rachel found herself in too deep, he came to her rescue and helped her finish the conversion.
With his help, she was able to keep the conversion under $25K, upgrading her solar and other systems when she had the cash. Her finished rig has a bathroom with a rainfall shower head, a twin-sized bed, and a kitchen with a cool tile countertop. Enjoy the tour!

Here’s another lovely tiny house by Atomic Homes, this one with a “modern” look, complete with a plywood interior and black finishes. Like the “farmhouse” model we’ve shown you, it has a main floor bedroom with closets and upper cabinet storage.
The home has all you’ll need for full-time living, including an oven, washer/dryer combo unit, bathroom with a tiled shower stall, and a loft bedroom if you have kids (or need office space/more storage). You can “design your own” version of the home on their website, but this model starts at around $140,000.

If you’re in the market for a beautiful single-level tiny house, this 26′ one designed by Liv-Connected, manufactured by ATOMIC Homes, and sold by Endeavor might be the perfect option! It’s a studio-style layout, but the bedroom is separated from the living space just slightly by the bathroom.
The home is sleek and modern, with a compact kitchen space with flat-front cabinets. The bathroom is almost a wet bath, but the shower pan should keep water contained. You can easily fit a queen bed and walk around it in the bedroom. All that for $98,000. What do you think?

Tiny homes don’t have to be expensive, and they don’t have to be temporary! That’s what this awesome family of four has shown — they’ve been living in their $25K DIY tiny home for the past 7 years, and their once-little kids are now preteens.
They plan to put one more year into the THOW before building a 650-square-foot “forever home” — still remarkably tiny by modern US standards! Michelle shares more about their story below the photo tour of their amazing space. Don’t miss it!
