Nico and Jona are on their third tiny house on wheels, and by now they knew exactly what they needed to make their truck tiny home nearly perfect. Learning from past builds, they had this one professionally designed by Nico’s brother-in-law (an architect) and it really shows.
They chose to splurge on upgrades like a dishwasher, washing machine, eco-flow shower head, and incinerating toilet. As Nico says, could they have done it cheaper? Of course. But are they happy? Absolutely.

Lessons from This Build
- Experience Informs Better Design: By their third build, Nico and Jona knew exactly what features they needed and what they could skip
- Professional Design Pays Off: Having an architect design the layout resulted in a more functional and polished result than DIY planning alone
- Invest in What Matters to You: Splurging on a dishwasher, washing machine, and incinerating toilet might seem excessive, but these upgrades dramatically improve daily life
- Full-Size Furniture is Worth It: A “real” couch instead of a built-in bench creates a more comfortable living experience
- Outdoor Space Extends Living Area: A fold-down porch creates flexible outdoor living space for yoga, relaxation, or entertaining

I think the Thier family did a great job on their House-Truck.
This illustrates the benefits of a few conversions under your belt prior to tackling the big job.

Similar to our ExpeditionVehicle, the Thier family built without a bunch of cabinets occupying cubic space.

I think the Thier family did a great job on their video tour.
I think the Thier family could create videos professionally.
Very, very nice ?
Great build with a lot of comfort. The double floor is a great idea to bring the weight down istead of overhead lockers. IKEA is a good source to save on time if you aren’t a carpenter and the fold down table has been around for decades. I like the spacious kitchen, the dishwasher and of course the water saving showerhead. The toilet isn’t my thing, too. The composting ones are cheaper and more economical to run.
