Ray had always been fascinated by the concept of van life, so when it started gaining popularity on YouTube, he started showing his wife Nancy videos to see if she was interested. When she fully retired, she jumped on board with the idea. While they have two stationary homes (one in Hawaii and one in Idaho), they love using this luxury van to travel.

It took about 3 years to DIY their rig, and all told they spent $220K including the cost of the van. They spared no expense and have the best of the best inside — and it shows! Check out this amazing rig below.

Adam proved to his boss one vacation that he was able to get as much work done away from the office as he could at work, so his job became remote. This allowed Adam and his wife Janelle to sell their house and buy a camper to start traveling more. Their original camper was too small for them, so they later purchased this amazing 1982 Silver Streak vintage camper.

While they knew it was going to be a project, they didn’t anticipate just how much of an overhaul it would need. The water damage seeped in everywhere, forcing them to peel things back to the studs and rebuild it all. Despite the work, they were able to create a truly awesome little home on wheels!

This might be one of the most modern tiny homes we’ve seen from MitchCraft Tiny Homes, but it’s proof positive that MitchCraft can do sleek and minimal! Casey’s gooseneck THOW has it all, and it’s done with amazing craftsmanship.

I’m not sure if my favorite part is the pebble-tiled floor in the bathroom with a walk-in shower and stone sink, or the netted lounge space over the cozy living room. There’s also a gooseneck bedroom with a washer and dryer and tons of clothing storage, and the kitchen features a gorgeous farmhouse sink.

Welcome back, tiny house enthusiasts! We have some exciting news to share with you. Nestron, the renowned prefab tiny house manufacturer, is opening showrooms in Texas and California in 2023! Do you remember Nestron and the Cube and Cube 2 models we showed you? Well, there’s some exciting news! Since they are opening showrooms in Texas and California in 2023, this means that U.S. customers can now explore their incredible designs in person and will no longer need to pay to ship from Canada. To celebrate, Nestron sent us the latest pictures of the Cube 2 to share with you below.

The C2 starts at $59,000 and tops out at $85,420 depending on the features you add. No matter what, it comes fully furnished, and you can also upgrade to a solar system to take it off-grid and even get heated bathroom floors. Remember, this is a one-floor unit with two bedrooms, so you could possibly fit a family of 3 or 4 inside — and there’s no loft. What do you think?

The Purple Heart Manor is an ultra-custom medieval-inspired tiny house built by Acorn Tiny Homes in Toronto, Canada. Built on a 43-foot by 10.5-foot gooseneck trailer, the home features a dramatic roofline, faux stone siding, a solid mahogany Tudor-style door, and custom stained glass windows.

The interior continues the medieval theme with a chandelier, Victorian vanity, and dungeon-style wallpaper. The homeowner’s love of purple shows throughout: purple tiles, purple ceilings, purple sinks, and purple accents in every room. The design also includes cat-friendly features, including an exterior catio.

Cora and Tyler were looking for a more cost-effective way to travel and ended up stumbling upon a 1986 Volkswagen Westfalia in excellent condition. It saved them the trouble of doing a whole conversion, and while Cora didn’t love the Westy at first, it grew on her.

Having a van has allowed Cora, who has muscular dystrophy, more access to nature. They do hope to convert something larger in the future that would give them space to cook standing up and have a bathroom. Enjoy the tour!
