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.

What a nice way to live! What great adventures lay ahead in this super nice tiny home. It’s great that they seemed to fit everything they need inside — love the interior — cheery and modern and all useful. How about that gas stove? Also the shower, tiles, fridge and more……..notice no TV’s. bet this couple are too busy enjoying their marvellous travels and views so don’t need the distraction. Good for them — enviable way to live at this stage of their lives!!
Absolutely cool!! 😎
We met them last fall on the CA coast. What great people and an awesome build.
