This is Vincent the House Truck by HouseBox in Southwest England.

It was built for a customer, Imogen, who shared a testimony on the HouseBox website:

I love my truck conversion – there’s so much attention to detail & it’s really tailor made, from the snake tank for my corn snake to the fox door-knocker. I was consulted throughout the whole process & really enjoyed being able to pick out the exact look i wanted, from the hinges to the brass kitchen sink. I’ve never loved living anywhere as much as my House-Box & have had so many compliments on it – a security man at Glastonbury Festival called it the prettiest truck he’d ever seen!

It really is a beautiful build! You can take a video tour to get all the details about the inside and find the builder’s contact information on the last page.

Enjoy!

Nicky and Judy decided that a tiny house on wheels would be the ideal solution for the next stage in their lives: retirement. The low cost of living a minimalist lifestyle in 175 square feet allows Nicky to work less (Judy is already retired), and it allows them to enjoy living in their dream home with the option of moving to a new location if they desire. The couple’s tiny house, which they call “Tiny” for short, was built by Matt from Howling Dog Construction in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Last week we showed you Helga, a gorgeous handcrafted horsebox conversion by HouseBox.

Today we bring you House-Box One, the very first house truck built as a home for Dean and Hannah, who have kept converting these trucks for others wanting to live tiny through their business, HouseBox. The name “HouseBox” is just a clever spin on the UK English term for a horse transportation vehicle: “horsebox.” But now instead of moving equines, it’s housing humans!

Take a video tour of the home and get more information about HouseBox below.

Enjoy!
