Videographer’s Stealth Budget Van Build (With a Toilet): $5.5K

If you’ve been following Tiny House Talk for any amount of time, you’ve probably seen the handiwork of videographer Travis Cosentino (@travis_travels on Instagram) — he does the filming for Tiny Home Tours, which we show you quite frequently.

But did you know he’s a van-dweller? He’s been living in his stealthy conversion now for about a year, and only spent $5,500 on the build, most of which went to mechanical repairs. He loves meeting like-minded people and sharing their stories, plus he gets to travel all around the country as he interviews.

Travis’ home is wonderfully simple, but he did manage to fit a sneaky toilet into this itty bitty build! Watch the video tour to learn more.

He Interviews Tiny Home Dwellers While Travelling in His Van!

Travis fit a full-sized bed into his rig.

The shelves store all his stuff he needs frequently.

He edits from his bed. Pretty neat!

He kept the cab pretty simple.

Toilet and a bolted-down safe. Very smart!

    He must be a short guy. My height doesn’t fit into a van across driving direction.
    And having my own shower is a must for me.
    Working from bed long term isn’t great for blood circulation because us humans aren’t ‘designed’for that.
