Kyle Canady threw that playbook out the window. His Mercedes Sprinter conversion looks like it belongs in a boutique hotel rather than a campground, with a bold black, white, and gold color…
Here are some more awesome free plans from Zero, this time for a 10×14 cabin with a Scandinavian feel. The building has a traditional gable roof and includes planning for a wood stove to keep it extra cozy. This would make a great backyard office, although you could easily add a mini kitchen without sacrificing…
Michael is a musician who wanted a quiet place he could go to and write music. Originally he thought he’d convert a tiny home in just 3 months, but his attention to detail (and there are so many thoughtful features in this build!) meant it took 2 years and 8 months to see the finished…

Patty is a truly remarkable woman. After spending four years caring for her mother 24/7, she found herself wondering what to do next when her mom passed away. YouTube led her to vanlife, and eventually, she found herself working with a builder to create the perfect van home. The van layout is great, with a…
Sole and Joey first got into campervan conversions when they built out their own van in order to escape the weight of San Diego rent. They adjusted to the tiny lifestyle and eventually decided to make converting vans into a business! So far, they’ve converted 5 full rigs and done some other partial conversions, as…

The interior is lined…
