Mr. Wolf originally convinced his wife into a skoolie conversion, so long as he built it out like a home. But after some trips, they realized it couldn’t get them where they wanted to go! So Mr. Wolf had an idea – build a 4×4 Overlanding rig on a Humvee chassis.
Using aluminum and marine-grade materials, he created a tiny house that’s going to stand up to the test of time. While on the outside it looks like a beast, you walk inside to a comfortable and cozy home that even has a tiled shower! Pretty amazing. Tell us what you think!

Erin and Joe were slowly sucked into van life after a fun road trip left them wanting more. They completed their build in early 2020 and decided to go ahead with traveling to outdoor spots after lockdown. They needed a bed that could fit Joe at 6 ft. 4 in., so they have a couch that becomes an almost-queen.
They also have an awesome 900-watt solar system with articulating solar panels that track the sunshine to maximize solar input! After a couple of years in this smaller rig, they are wanting to upgrade so they can host guests while on the road.

Allison and Eric started off backpacking around the world, and when their backs started hurting, they turned to suitcase travel. But in 2020, they decided to fulfill their longtime dream of renovating a vintage RV and finally seeing the United States!
They didn’t realize upon purchasing their 70s Class C campervan that it had so much mold and mildew damage that the entire interior would need to be gutted, so the project took them a couple of years to complete. They documented the entire build on YouTube, so you can learn a thing or two about the conversion process!

The Escape eONE XL is an all-electric tiny house on wheels built around an unusual idea: instead of one cramped sleeping loft, it has two large ones joined by a wide breezeway walkway. That single decision changes how the whole home functions. Rather than a single loft you crawl into, you get two genuine sleeping zones with a bridge between them — enough separation for a family, roommates, or regular guests, without carving the main floor into small closed rooms.
The “e” in the name is the important part. Every system in this house runs on electricity: induction cooktop, electric oven, and a high-efficiency air-source heat pump for heating and cooling. There is no propane tank to refill, no gas line to certify, and no combustion appliance venting through a wall. For anyone planning to add solar later, or parking somewhere that restricts propane, that is a meaningful simplification rather than a marketing bullet.
Outside, the unit wears dark bronze corrugated metal siding with a long manufacturer warranty, riding on a tandem-axle trailer. Metal siding is a deliberate trade-off for a house that may spend its life outdoors in a variety of climates: a higher upfront cost in exchange for skipping the repainting and resealing cycle that wood and composite siding demand. The photos throughout this tour were taken inside Escape’s production facility, which is why the rooms are unstaged and you can occasionally see the shop floor through the glass.

It’s awesome to see old vehicles getting a new lease on life! This 1950s British double-decker bus retired from service, came over to the U.S., was transformed into a diner, and is now an Airbnb in Oregon. How awesome!
The entire second floor of the bus is a spacious, yet cozy, bedroom with a queen bed. Downstairs, there’s a bathroom near the cab, and then a kitchen and living space. What do you think?

Like so many others, Grant needed a lockdown project. Unimpressed by the costs of school buses and the quality of RVs, he came across this 1997 Freightliner FL70 MPV and decided it was the perfect rig. He works full-time at Tesla, so it took about 1.5 years for him to complete the conversion.
He has a huge rooftop deck complete with an umbrella for shade, a beautiful kitchen with live-edge wood and Manzanita branches, and tons of cool bells and whistles. Enjoy the video tour below!

Phil and Lynn are a charming English couple who retired and decided it was time to travel. Their overlanding rig was built off of an old military vehicle — so old that it doesn’t have any computer parts controlling the engine, making it easy for just about any mechanic to repair.
Phil built the entire house part of the rig from the bottom-up, carefully designing a home that met all their needs with nothing extra! They’ve traveled in Europe and most of the US and Canada, and are now slowly making their way to Mexico. What an awesome build.

This 2019 Ford Transit has a charming and cozy home-like feel. Honey-colored floors and upper cabinets contrast beautifully with the mint green lower cabinets. There’s a unique bathroom at the back of the van, with an indoor shower, sink, and toilet (you use a shower curtain to keep water off the bed). Under the queen-sized bed is a ventilated garage space that makes a great kennel (or storage). The kitchen has a two-burner cook top, an apartment-style fridge, and a convection oven on sliders.
