Remember Hope and Manny who built two micro bike trailers for homeless people? Well, here’s a look at their personal van conversion! They spent about two months converting a former Amazon van into an awesome little home. Before this, they lived in a bus conversion.

They have a bench that converts into a child bed, a dinette that becomes a queen bed at night, an outdoor shower, and an indoor urine-diverting toilet hidden under a cabinet. Enjoy the full tour below!

These scuba divers were working in Honduras when they met and wanted to spend more time together. Polly had always dreamed of #vanlife and Isaac had already built out one rig, so they decided to build something together. They only had 90 days, though, because that’s the longest Isaac’s Visa would let him stay in the U.S.

As soon as their box truck was complete, they crossed the border into Mexico and began their travels. So far it’s been a wonderful experience, and you’ll never believe what a beautiful tiny home they built in just 3 months!
