This is Carlos’ fantastic tiny home in a van. He has lived in the house by choice for the past three years, enjoying living with less and making an income while travelling through Chile, his country. He converted the van into his living space all by himself.

Outside, you’ll notice a fairly standard Ford Econoline E-350, 1981 van – that’s what makes the inside so incredible!

When you go inside, you’ll find his home office, which he works from while travelling his country. The van’s interior includes laminate wood cabinets with blue fabric accents. Carlos said he wanted the van to be a hybrid between a mobile office and a campervan, so he could start “living with less to enjoy more.” The dinette transforms into a bed, and he has a sink kitchen area across from his desk.

This is Seth Mizter’s “not so tiny” tiny house on wheels.

He sold his two-story home to create a 400-sq.-foot abode – what he calls “a grid/off-grid writer’s retreat [on an] organic farm.” He still hasn’t finished the interior, but his current build cost is amazingly low, at $22,776.45.

Outside, you’ll notice a simple rectangular build completed with dark grey vertical siding and contrasting caramel-colored cedar trim. He used Low E windows to help with his passive heating system, which relies on the position of the tiny house to get the most warmth from the sun.

When you go inside, you won’t find much but Sheetrock and a toilet he fashioned from a bucket and toilet seat for the time being. The good news is you can follow the entire DIY tiny home build on his YouTube channel and Facebook Page, where he posts videos about his every step to becoming a tiny-home owner.

This is the “Pecan” tiny house trailer created by the Perch and Nest staff.

Outside, you’ll notice a compact 7.2 x 20 foot frame decorated with a beautiful metal roof and cedar shake siding. The cream trim provides a lovely contrast to the dark wood. It features tempered awning windows and close cell insulation to keep you warm during cool nights, and depending on your preferences, you can add heating and cooling.

Step inside and savor the clean, bright color scheme, with white horizontal pine plank walls and dark laminate wood flooring. A turquoise door adds a pop of color and leads you in and out of this adorable tiny space. It comes complete with two lofts – one for a queen bed and another for storage – which you can access with a removable handcrafted cedar ladder. The cozy couch nook lifts up for additional storage. In the kitchen, you’ll find a butcher block counter, mini refrigerator, and an induction cook top. A stool provides extra seating. The bathroom includes your choice of either a composting or dry flush toilet and a tankless electric water heater.

This is Fred Shultz’ fantastic tiny home for his family of three. He built this off-the-grid masterpiece by himself for about $45,000, $12,000 of which he spent on the solar panels that keep the home running.

Outside, you’ll notice this tiny house on wheels is covered in corrugated steel siding and sports two awnings for extra outdoor living space. The solar panels decorate the roof of this 107 square-foot home that took him about four-and-a-half years to design and build. When you go inside, you’ll find pull-out storage beneath his “lounge” or couch area with lovely red cushions. There’s even a table tucked under the loft that can be removed and taken down to create a large dining room table, or even a bed for guests. They have a wood stove to heat the space that doubles as their hot-water heater and built-in shelves to store their kitchen essentials. Their baby daughter has a loft space with plenty of safety gates and a loft across the way provides a sleeping space for mom and dad. Their bathroom includes a composting toilet and a large Japanese-style tub.

This is the “Tiny SMART House” that was featured on Tiny House Hunters on HGTV.

What makes it “SMART”? Sustainable construction, modern efficiency, affordable luxury, residential or commercial, and tow-able anywhere. Designed with a “Steam Punk” vibe, the outside looks clean and classic with vertical and horizontal cream siding and grey trim. It’s tall and angular, providing plenty of space in a compact shell.

Inside you’ll notice floor to ceiling redwood siding with copper exposed plumbing, as well as an antique chandelier. An oven, stove-top and deep stainless steel kitchen sink provide the luxury of a regular kitchen and the corner seating area includes under-bench storage. There’s a breakfast nook, storage loft, and a completely closed off loft for sleeping. The bathroom has a remarkably unique corrugated metal shower, complete with more of the exposed copper plumbing.

This is Meseidy’s fantastic travel-trailer-turned-tiny-home!

What was once a drab and dated typical camper, has been transformed into a clean, bright and stylish home. You’d never know from the standard travel trailer exterior that it features a fashion-forward interior.

Inside, you’ll find what Meseidy refers to as contrasting dark and light colors and brass fixtures. The kitchen includes bright yellow stools against a grey and white countertop. Over the stove, the stainless steel backsplash is visually appealing and easy-to-clean. Step into the living area and color-block throw pillows rest on grey armchairs, and funky retro chairs sit around the original dining table. The master bedroom is even more colorful, with deep ocean blue paint and more color-block pillows. Finally, the bathroom has an amazing basin sink and decorative tree branch jewelry holders. Proof that living in a trailer can be extremely glamorous.
