Lance sold everything he owned on Facebook Marketplace when he decided he was tired of the 9 to 5 and ready for a new adventure! He built a DIY camper on the back of his truck and spent only $5k on the materials. He was careful to buy things second-hand and at the Dollar Tree in order to keep costs down.
You can see his whole conversion on Instagram, where he shared all the details. He has a fixed bed, a micro kitchen, and lots of beautiful artwork he did himself! He makes money helping others make their own rigs and teaching the occasional art class.

Amber and Giulietta started out traveling with a pull-behind trailer, but wanted something that could fit in a normal parking spot. Renovating this 24-year-old truck camper was the ticket! They chose bold wallpaper, fun colors, and peel-and-stick tiles to take the inside from outdated to exciting.
They really love the cozy over-cab bed with an 8-inch memory foam mattress and even though they haven’t used the shower, having a bathroom in the camper makes their lives so much easier. While they’ve done a lot of constant travel in the past, they’ve recently settled down more, spending a month or more doing camp work in exchange for a free camping spot.

Dakota wanted to get into van life and already owned a Toyota pickup that she loved, so she decided to build a camper to fit on her truck instead of buying a new rig. With the help of her brother (who builds tiny homes), she designed and built this amazing home.
Every inch was designed to meet her needs. She has a YETI cooler for her produce, a stove and oven to let her cook, and some great pull-out drawers for pantry storage. Her twin/full bed is fixed in the back of the rig, and she has windows that look into the sky for stargazing. Enjoy the tour!

Lindsey grew up as a farm kid and loved the outdoors, so it’s no surprise that after living an everyday young professional life in Chicago and NYC, she decided to simplify and live on the road. A few years in, she started looking for a better rig and came across the Overland Explorer X10 EarthRoamer in its prototype stage.
This amazing 4×4 truck camper boasts tons of solar power, a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a nearly-queen-sized bed in the back. It also has a surprising amount of storage, which is perfect for Lindsey’s impressive shoe collection. She’s been on the road now for 6.5 years and has no plans on stopping anytime soon.

Here’s another amazing micro house build on a Japanese truck bed! While I don’t know the exact measurements of this truck, many Suzuki truck beds are 6.5 x 4.5 feet, meaning this micro house is around just 30 square feet — now that’s tiny.

When Rob and Karen first decided to travel North America instead of paying high property taxes and utility bills, they set off in a motorhome looking for the right vehicle. This old oil field truck they found was much tougher than an RV, and had a great box on the back, which they gutted and transformed.
The home has a deep sink, recirculating shower, and a special oven for making custom pizzas! But one of the coolest features is the elevator bed that comes down and has custom backrests, so they can lounge and watch TV or read. How does this retirement look to you?

Becca & Jason built an amazing high-tech, ultra-light truckbed camper complete with a California King-sized Bed and actuating solar panels to provide enough power for their amazing electrical setup.
They had a van build before this, but they wanted something that could off-road better. While their truck camper has a lot more restrictions in terms of weight and size, they found it much easier to design something that was square rather than scribing everything for a curved van. Enjoy the amazing tour below.
