Glen is a retired police officer who converted a box truck into a Lord of the Rings-inspired tiny home. As a skilled carpenter, he transformed the interior into something that looks straight out of Middle-earth.
He named the truck Radagast after the brown wizard from The Hobbit. Inside, the truck features a king bed, kitchen, bathroom, and wood fireplace with one of the most incredible hand-crafted interiors you’ll see in a vehicle conversion. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary work truck—completely stealthy.

This is the story of how Anna, a seasoned traveler, ended up becoming a van dweller thanks to Tiny Home Tours/YouTube. When she first converted her van, it was a standard low-top conversion, and she used it like that for a while. After a while, Anna decided that she wanted it to feel more like home, so she wanted to get herself a high top van.
After finding out how much money she would lose trading in her van, Anna looked into a company called Fiberine that would raise the roof on her current van for about $5,000 including the windows and additional framing the job would require. So she originally bought the van for about $24,000 used and proceeded to spend approximately $31,000, for a total of about $55,000 to turn it into a tiny house, including the cost of turning it into a hightop van. What do you think? New Class B motorhomes go for over $90,000 new usually, so she saved quite a chunk of change doing it this way. Please enjoy for yourself below!
