This is a Franklin Vintage Caravan Tiny House renovation.
It’s the story of how a young lady bought and renovated a vintage camper with the help of her father.
Have you ever thought of renovating a travel trailer instead of building a tiny house from scratch?
I think it’s a great idea, especially if you see yourself traveling around the country with it because it’ll be lighter than a tiny house so you’ll save money and hassle when towing it around.
Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

This is one family’s 200 sq. ft. travel trailer tiny house conversion story.
We’re James + Sarah, two passion-seeking nomads who are genuinely inspired by the world around us. We’re living full-time in a 2005 Jayco Jayflight with our baby daughter, Stella and dog, Lavender.
Our beloved self-made home named NOLA, whom we renovated out of a FEMA trailer, was originally purposed for citizens of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. She found her way to us and we spent the summer of 2015 completely renovating her interior.

This box truck conversion story is a guest submission.
Hello, My name is Bill Cogar II and I live in Sutton, West Virginia, USA.
I am a Boilermaker by trade and I have to travel for my work. Most of my work comes as an emergency outage when a power plant suddenly comes off line due to a break down of the steam generating boiler.
Those types of outages can last as little as one day or turn into several days or weeks. Lodging on short notice can be difficult to obtain and with the uncertainty of the job length, one never really knows how long they are going to need a bed and a place to shower.
Some I’ve worked with, move in and out of a room every day until the job is done. I’ve kept track of the cost of the build and by using what some of my co-workers pay for lodging, I estimate this vehicle has paid me back over three times now, not to mention the convenience of having it on “ready stand-by” when a job comes along.
I keep track of the number of days away from home and right now I’m at about 600 nights of habitation in my truck. My cost of living this way usually runs around 5-10% of my take home pay on a given job. Boilermakers rarely get a per-diem so your lodging, food and travel come right off the top of your take-home. I try and keep as much as possible.
What you will see in the following pictures is what I built to live in to make these outages a lot more bearable.
