Meet Anne and Brian, a couple who had originally planned to live on their sailboat but ended up trading it for a motorhome instead. Anne realized that she loved the land too much to live on the water full-time, so they started discussing other options, which eventually led them to full-time RVing sooner.
They sold their house, sailboat, and most of their possessions, and moved into their Entegra Coach motorhome in just eight months. Originally, they were to move into the sailboat full-time in a matter of 5 years. In this blog post, we’ll learn more about their journey to tiny living, how it has changed their lives, and their advice for others considering going tiny.

James was excited to be sober, but he was facing homelessness again due to rent issues. That’s when he found a UHaul and spent a whole year watching YouTube videos to help him convert it into his own home.
He really prioritized a comfortable bathroom and plenty of water storage. He has a standard 32×32 shower stall and deep sink in his large kitchen. He got tons of finishes from IKEA and spent about $10K on the conversion. After living in it full-time for a while, he uses it for weekend warrior trips more locally. He has plans to sell it in the near future.

Johnny got his bus for $3,000—and it needed a lot of work, especially regarding rust! A year and a half later, he was able to move into his truly beautiful skoolie, which he calls Miles O’ Smiles.
He made sure to keep his two large dogs in mind when building, creating a comfortable under-bed lounge area for them and ensuring he could keep the temperature comfortable for his fur babies. He has a unique couch and dinette design that provides both comfort and functionality, so be sure to watch the video for the details!

Dan and Sam are content creators (Dan has a hunting podcast and Sam has documented her surrogacy journey) who decided it was time to hit the road in their 2021 RV. Because the RV was newer, they haven’t had to do much to it to enjoy it!
Their two kids have a bunk over the cab, and they have a back bedroom with an “RV King” bed. Slide-outs allow lots of room in the main living space and there’s storage everywhere for school stuff, art supplies, and snacks. Enjoy the tour!

Josh and Bryn purchased a row home in Baltimore and immediately regretted it — it didn’t fit their goals, and they were sad that they hadn’t traveled around the United States yet. So they started new careers that would allow them to work remotely and bought and converted a van.
Their rig has a unique porthole window in the dining area. They chose an all-electric setup and made sure to install a robust solar system that would power their stove and more. Additionally, the couple chose to put in a small bathroom, and they don’t regret it a year later.

We’ve seen little churches turned into tiny homes in the past, but this tiny chapel was explicitly built as a mobile wedding venue! It was designed as a commercial building for Hitched Traveling Wedding Chapel by Movable Roots.
Its minimalist chapel design has beautiful arched windows, white shiplap, and honey-colored hardwood floors. It would make the perfect venue for an elopement or small, intimate ceremony. What do you think?

Karina Brez Jewelry sells stunning pieces made for the equestrian, and they had Movable Roots build them a mobile jewelry store called The Jeweled Barn.
The store features a dark stained exterior and a natural and sophisticated interior that’s a mix of green and plaid. There are copper gutters on the outside to elevate the mood and window boxes that now overflow with color. Best of all? It’s solar powered!

Jesse and Janice were saving up to buy a house when they made a major pivot in their lives and decided to jump into vanlife instead! They found a van already DIY-converted by a family that had used it as a weekender vehicle, and they’ve slowly made it theirs.
While the bed could convert to a dinette, they always leave it in “bed mode” and use the swivel seat or bench couch as a spot to work or eat. The large AC unit drew too much power, so they removed it to make a special bedroom for their cat, Nova. They also love the awning that allows them to extend their living space outdoors, and a dirt bike that makes it easy to run into town. Enjoy the tour!
