Ken and Laurel were retiring and wanted to simplify their lives, but also wanted a custom home that met all their needs and design tastes. They found the Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Tiny Homes and worked with Ricky to design a Gooseneck THOW that’s perfect for them.
The house has a huge kitchen with full-sized appliances, a comfortable Gooseneck bedroom that only requires a couple of steps and a large living room where they can relax. They live in the Escalante Village in Colorado among a variety of like-minded folks of all ages!

Clayton and Theresa had a long-time dream of traveling once they hit retirement. It took nearly 6 years to build out their dream rig, which is an 18-wheeler-turned-not-so-tiny home! This luxury conversion cost somewhere between $200-$250K, but for this couple, it was worth every penny.
This nomadic set-up has space for a jet-ski, motorcycle, and an electric bike, as well as a movie theater room, full kitchen, and separate shower and toilet rooms. There’s an entire second floor you can reach with a spiral staircase that houses their bed and living room. Amazing.

Luanne was looking for a way to retire comfortably, and living in a tiny house built by Incredible Tiny Homes in one of their communities provided her with that opportunity. She has a custom-built home on a lovely wooded lot that meets all her needs.
Even as a retiree, she chose a loft bedroom with stairs. It’s surprisingly open and spacious, but she also has a daybed/couch in her living room should she ever need a first-floor sleeping space. Enjoy the tour below.

Back in 2016/17 Corinne sold her law practice and her home, commissioned a tiny house build, and moved across the country to Park Delta Bay in California. For $800/month she has a lovely lot within a great community and is enjoying her retirement.
Her home does have a loft, but in order to meet her mobility needs, the loft has extra headroom and a specialized staircase with a heavy-duty railing. Corinne had a number of special and sentimental furniture pieces that she had incorporated into her home to make it truly hers. Enjoy the tour!

James and Doreen had a 4,000-square-foot home, but the upkeep was just becoming overwhelming. So they decided to get a skoolie! Now they can visit their 4 kids (who all live in different places) and spend their springtime boating in Louisiana.
Their bus is unlike any we’ve seen before, with a full-size commercial kitchen (including THREE sinks), a table near the front window, and stucco walls on the inside of the bus. They chose not to have a hallway, and instead have a spacious bathroom. What do you think?

Eric and Robbyn were nearing retirement age but thought they still had more years to work. That’s when a trip to Europe completely changed their perspective, seeing people who didn’t work themselves into the ground as they do in the U.S. That’s when they got the idea to stop living normally and find a way to travel!
Eric used his amazing carpentry skills to build out their shuttle bus home complete with a queen-sized bed (stationary), bathroom, and large galley kitchen space with tons of overhead cabinetry. Their only regret? They didn’t choose this life sooner!

Daniel served in Vietnam and Thailand and got married, had children, raised them, and retired. Just after retiring, he lost his wife to cancer. He felt completely lost and ended up hiking the Camino de Santiago Trail in Spain, where he came to realize how little he needed to live and feel content — so he found a Mitsubishi Fuso 4×4 and made it into a home on wheels!
This awesome overlander is ready for just about anything. It has tons of storage that slide out, his fridge slides outside or can be accessed indoors, and he put his tool chest pantry on a swivel, so it’s easily accessible. Both his side walls open up and turn into awnings for when he really wants to enjoy the weather. What do you think?
