This couple jumped into skoolie life on a bit of a whim after “roughing it” in an Airbnb in the woods. Instead of DIY-ing the entire bus, they took on extra wedding videography gigs to pay professionals to do things like electrical work — which is pretty clever!
They chose to do a huge roof raise — a whole 25 inches — in order to give lots of extra headroom inside the bus. Additionally, they put in RV windows instead of bus windows, meaning they have a lot more privacy and retain more heat than a traditional skoolie. What do you think?

Mariryan and Heather are triathletes who live in Florida and transformed the Surf Shack in their backyard into a beautiful tiny guest cottage for family and friends. There’s even a cute mini porch off the front of the tiny home.
The inside is pretty micro — with a main loft bed, a loveseat that becomes another sleeping area, a mini kitchen on one wall, and a slim wet bath on the other. What do you think of this space?

She rock climbs, she teaches yoga, she shoots photography — and she built out her own amazing DIY ProMaster van conversion in 9 months. Gaby doesn’t seem tied to any *one* thing — she’s lived in a number of vehicles, traveled the world, done the “city thing” and now she’s a solo traveler enjoying plenty of rock-climbing and a packed-full schedule of gigs that bring her joy (and pay the bills).
She learned that good was better than perfect as she borrowed tools from a tool library and taught herself how to build cabinets and hook up a water system. Somehow she squeezed two “offices” into her tiny space, and even has an exercise area to help her stay fit. Enjoy the video tour!

Rachel’s comfortable van has everything, including a great indoor shower set-up. She chose a U-shaped dinette to maximize space for working and eating, and it all transforms into her bed at night. She has a TV/monitor, lots of storage, and a huge refrigerator to help her eat clean.
As a personal trainer, she needs to stay fit. So she has an entire collapsible squat rack and her bench and other weights she can pull out when she’s parked. Quite the rig! Enjoy the tour.

Precious Price is an amazing woman who used the lockdown of 2020 to completely overhaul her life! She already managed a number of Airbnb rentals while juggling a 6-figure corporate job, but decided to take on a new project — transforming a shed kit into a tiny house!
The tiny home sits behind her “normal” home, and after firing 2 contractors, she ended up building out the shed home herself. She rents it out on Airbnb and coaches other people on how to make money with Airbnb as well — which has allowed her to quit her 9-5 and pursue what she enjoys.
