This awesome family spent two years building their DIY tiny home from the trailer-up, and the end result is a gorgeous family-centric home which they have parked in a great tiny house community in Texas.
And there are no bunk beds for these kids! Each one has their own rooms with amazing murals painted by their mom and plenty of space for toys and treasures. Oh, and the cat even has a “catio” where she can go outdoors without the risk of getting lost or hurt. Pretty cool!

You might have heard “Guy Meets Girl” and their awesome music in the past, but now they are creating music and traveling in a skoolie! They got the conversion secondhand, but have made it their own.
This bus has a unique kitchen design that’s handy for making meals easily — and it can seat 5+ adults comfortably in the living room area! The bedroom is wonderfully private and cozy, and yes, there’s a shower and a toilet.

As a fellow goat-owner, I really didn’t believe it when I saw a woman was living in a micro wagon with — a GOAT. But the story is actually amazingly heartwarming and her goat is potty-trained. I’m still glad mine are in the barn, but her story is amazing.
She purchased the handcrafted wagon from a Roma man who had built it, and she tows it with her Jeep which has extra storage and a special goat seat for “Little Leaf.” You have to watch the video to believe it.

Elliot’s van is honestly a marvel of van engineering! Not only did he do everything “differently” than the norm, he did it well. You’ll find a queen-sized Murphy bed, 8 feet of counter space, no garage, and one powerful power system made possible by Tesla batteries.
He lived in the van from the summer of 2020 until recently and has put the van up for sale (asking $110K). Update: now sold. Follow him on Instagram to see what he’s up to next!

Artist Michael Ostaski built this house truck in the 70s — long before the #skoolie or tiny house craze took off. He lived in it for 18 years, but is now ready to sell it to a new owner. While the vehicle drives, it’s not up for cross-country travel any longer.
That said, it would be a great for anyone with some land to use as a home or vacation property. It has a couple of lofts, lots of living space and a great kitchen. Check it out.

Recently we showed off Comak Tiny Home’s latest build, but here’s one from their archives that’s definitely worth taking a look at! Len and his late father had collected historic and local-to-Lancaster county firehouse artifacts and Len wanted a special place to display them.
Comak Tiny Homes did not disappoint, recreating a vintage firehouse and incorporating all Len’s memorabilia. There’s even a fireman’s pole! Len uses it as a vacation rental now, and he can always go in and take a trip down memory lane.

When EJ saw one of her friends head out traveling with his mom, she felt jealous and wanted that kind of freedom! Thankfully, her dad was totally on board with her plan and helped the 20-year-old completely transform this short bus into a raised-roof school bus tiny home.
She only spent $12k on the entire conversion, including the cost of the bus. And yes, it has a hidden toilet and shower! The kitchen cabinets are covered in gorgeous artwork that EJ created, and in deference to her bus’s name (Loki), she painted the exterior of the bus bright green.
