You’ll want to bookmark this one for later. In this post, we’re sharing two in-depth videos from Drew of Drew Builds Stuff, documenting his DIY tiny house build from a bare trailer to a fully enclosed shell.
The build isn’t finished just yet—Drew still has the bathroom and kitchen to complete at the end of Part Two—but the videos are calm, detailed, and genuinely inspiring. He walks through each step of the process in a way that’s easy to follow and satisfying to watch.
In the first video, Drew completes the entire exterior build, including framing, roofing, window installation, and more. Part Two shifts inside, where he focuses on insulation, finishes, and interior progress (excluding the kitchen and bathroom). We’ll update this post as new parts are released, but for now, it’s a great look at what it really takes to build your own tiny house on wheels.
Update: We’ve added the remaining videos, including the bathroom, bedroom, and final finishing stages of the build.

You might remember David Rule as the young man who built his tiny house on wheels without previous building experience! Well, he’s at it again, this time building himself an amazing truck bed camper so he can travel in comfort. While similarly-sized products cost upwards of $20,000, David spent only $3,340 to complete his—and it looks so fun and homey!
He shows you the whole process while entertaining you with many “dad jokes” and plenty of playfulness. The craftsmanship is incredible, and the door has to be my favorite part. What do you think?

This family of four lives in one of the coolest skoolies we’ve seen, mostly because of the giant, brilliant octopus decal on the side that advertises their jewelry business, “Parking Lot Pirates.” But when you go inside, you’ll find a fun and functional home for a family with two little children.
Incredibly, they chose a futon in the living room so they could host guests if they ever want to! Their boys have bunks in the back of the bus near their queen-sized bed, and a fun net keeps the littlest one safe at night. The kitchen has 8 feet of butcher block and an oven, so they can enjoy meals at home around their custom epoxy table. Enjoy meeting this cool family below!
