Alice & Ambrose wanted to try out an off-grid lifestyle in South Africa, and they have truly made it happen! Even without electricity (or solar!) they’ve been thriving with their rainwater catchment system, wood-fired hot water tank, large garden, and storage shed for overflow pantry goods and clothing.

All in all, they’ve spent about $16,000 on the site, caravan, and conversion — which is quite impressive! Ambrose is a professional stand-up comedian, so this is a lively and exciting tour. Enjoy!

Here’s the Daisy Caravan, the third and final caravan conversion by Samantha, an interior designer, and home-renovator that turned to tiny living a couple of years ago.

Plenty of white paint, updated upholstery, and those finishing touches transformed this from a dated old camper into a gorgeous vintage trailer ready for vacation. What do you think?

Corwin is a natural artist and loves spending time in the wilderness collecting beautiful branches to use in his creations: One of which is his own home, a caravan that he renovated using reclaimed wood for only $1,000.

His landlord wasn’t a fan of Corwin’s branch collection and gave him 10 days to get out. He found the trailer and made it into a home and a friend lets him park on their lovely land! It truly is a work of art. Since he moved in he’s created more tiny homes/van conversions using his skills, and you can see that all on his website, Healing Earth Homes. You could even hire him to make something for you! Watch the awesome video tour of his home from Living Big in A Tiny House below.
