The RV park changed its rules. Now it's $85,000 🌴


Happy Tuesday! Four new listings went up on the site today β€” a beachside ESCAPE, a 1965 Airstream, an adventure trailer, and an expanding mini-camper. Then four homes where the land is part of the story.

🌴 Modern Tiny House in New Smyrna Beach​
New today: Geoff and Candace bought this 408 sq ft ESCAPE eONE in New Smyrna Beach in 2024 and rented it to snowbirds and traveling professionals who preferred it to a hotel. The RV park has stopped allowing rentals, so they are selling.

✨ Renovated 1965 Airstream, All-Electric​
Also new today: Danielle and Jonathan of Tiny Haven rebuilt this 17-foot, 2,250-lb Caravel as a mid-century modern apartment on wheels β€” all-new 50-amp electric, a tiled bath, and a couch that pulls out into a double. $65,000 outside Richmond.

πŸ›» 2,000 Pounds, Towable by an SUV​
New today as well: a 2020 AntiShanty AS-1 Plus sitting in Boulder at $35,000. Hard-sided, 60 square feet, and light enough that a smaller SUV can pull it β€” the gap most adventure trailers miss.

🎈 Mini-Trailer Expands Into a Camper​
And one more: the Urbanoid Booba weighs 530 pounds, tows behind a Fiat 500, expands into a two-person camper in minutes, and stands upright in a normal garage when you are done.

πŸͺ΅ Logs From Her Own Land​
Natalie Bogwalker built this 12x16 cabin in Western North Carolina from logs harvested on the land it sits on β€” saddle-notched, hand-chinked, and oriented for passive solar with soapstone inside to hold the heat. She now teaches natural building at Wild Abundance.

πŸ›– A WWII Quonset Hut, Now a Home​
Corrugated steel arches were the military's answer to fast, shippable shelter in the 1940s. This one in southern Illinois became a permanent 572 sq ft home on a quarter acre.

🌴 Off-Grid on a Third of an Acre​
Parking is the number one obstacle in tiny living, and this one sidesteps it: a shipping container home on its own third of an acre of Mexican jungle, with a well, Tesla-backed solar, a pool, and a screened deck.

🧰 Her Smallest Home Yet: 8x8​
Marsha is a longtime reader who has owned several tiny homes over the years, including a converted bus. Her most recent was an 8x8 shed on her son's property, renovated down to a working kitchen.

"The home should be the treasure chest of living."
~ Le Corbusier
