But it’s not just any van. It’s a 1978 Mercedes 508D German Command Vehicle. Yeah! It’s a pretty serious vehicle and may even be considered a bus. So here is their story thanks to the Tiny Home Tours Team… Enjoy!

This is the story of the Mejia family and how they ended up to downsize into a tiny house that they built themselves. Before they were living tiny, they were super busy, and would hardly really get to spend very much quality time with each other and with their son.

Then, the lay off came. That’s when they started seriously looking into alternatives and ran into the tiny house movement. The rest, as they say, is history. Please enjoy. This story is brought to you by Tiny House Giant Journey. Thanks, Jenna!?

My husband and I were living in KCMO (Kansas City, MO) with our 2 kids and 2 pups.

Over-whelmed and not so happy with our high cost of living expenses we decided to look into different solutions.

We considered yurts and earth ships, yurts on earth ships, schoolies, and pretty much any other alternative living solution.
