$55k Off-Grid Vintage Caravan Tiny Home Tour | 6 Years of DIY Renovation

Welcome to my channel, where I'm excited to take you on an incredible journey through my $55,000 off-grid vintage caravan tiny home. Over the past 6 years, I've poured my heart and soul into this project, completely refurbishing every inch of this vintage gem. From stripping it down to the bare bones to creating a stunning and functional interior, this caravan has become my dream off-grid home on wheels.
In this video, I'll show you every inch of my DIY masterpiece, from the exterior transformation of the original cladding, which I resprayed to give it a fresh, modern look, to the remaining internal aluminum frame that still maintains its vintage charm. You'll witness the incredible transformation of this vintage caravan into a cozy, comfortable, and functional tiny home that's perfect for life on the road.
Join me as I share the key features and design elements that make this off-grid caravan a true home. From the custom-built interior, innovative storage solutions, to the cozy sleeping quarters and practical kitchen, this tiny home has it all. Whether you're a fellow DIY enthusiast, a van life dreamer, or simply looking for inspiration for your own renovation project, this tour has something for everyone.

What you have achieved here is so inspiring - and presents a realistic look at how mistakes can be made, and learned from. It's an entire lifestyle that you have created, and the beautiful van is one significant part of that. Well done Amie. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all.

[@PKTLFE]

Thank you Fiona, you're too right. Our mistakes are what also shape us. Everyone begins somewhere!

[@imactuallyih3697]

A livestream q&a would be a great idea some time in the future

[@soundslikesweeney]

So wonderful to see the new interior design. Looks so great. A fellow minimalist here, so I get the need to create that space. I know I've said it before, but you are the reason I took the leap of fate to get myself a little vintage caravan - which will very soon be located on my own little piece of land in mid north SA! So many of your videos have helped me get to this point. So, thankyou! :)

[@PKTLFE]

Oh fantastic news!! Do you mean SA Australia? Or in the USA somewhere?

[@soundslikesweeney]

@@PKTLFE Oh yes, South Australia. :) In a place called Farrell Flat. The community seems very supportive of people living in their vans.

[@akknight1971]

You did absolutely awesome. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. Keep smiling and stay that beautiful you. Left you a now on patreon.

[@kirstyboothway3351]

Such a beautiful space! I have been on the lookout for a caravan for myself to do up but finding it very difficult to find ones that don't have a history of leaking. How did you go with your search/ how is the van holding up being water tight all year round? Also on a side note you don't happen to know anyone who has land available in South Australia/ Adelaide for me to park it on?

[@brettalfero6245]

Wow!! I am absolutely stunned at your van - it’s absolutely amazing… your channel is so informative and I am really enjoying binge watching… Just love your channel - Cape Town South Africa 😊

[@StrayWithMe]

Looks great! I definitely got some ideas for my own camper tiny home from this so thank you for sharing!

[@PKTLFE]

I think down the track I should make a video about useful things I recommend for tiny loving.. 🤔

[@MaribelGonzalezGarcia-jn7ct]

I was sooo looking forward to this vid! It looks so beautiful, well done Amie! I hope you and the doggies can have lots of new adventures in your amazing tiny home on wheels x

[@PKTLFE]

Thank you Maribel! I look forward to sharing many more adventures with you on here 🤗

[@amandataylor76]

[@mashamambea5704]

[@kellyhynes9325]

You bloody Legend sweet!!!! I too live in a caravan called 'Olive' and have just started a vintage caravan restoration business with my sister! We both love the freedom that it has given us to chose Life over the 9-5 that you can achieve by scaling down. I look forward to your next video and well done!!! X😀👌

[@brodiewaihaki1123]

I love your layout so I’m stealing it 😂 I’m planning on getting a projector instead of a TV and instead of having a small computer screen to watch things.

[@robforbes123]

Great content. Very thorough and your journey so far should inspire some others. Well done Amie.

[@PKTLFE]

Thanks Dad!

[@lisaortolan5808]

This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and Wow! What an awesome job you did. It's absolutely beautiful inside and I love the addition of the CrimSafe screens. What a great idea. I wish you many happy travels in your gorgeous home on wheels.

[@loudybelle]

Love it!! Amazing job you have done congrats very informative go girl💕💕💕

[@dedakingreturned_]

Where did you find a bucket with a toilet seat for it?

[@PKTLFE]

I made that toilet back in the day 😂

[@davidjones6470]

Awesome upload lovely lady, Hope all is well, 🤙

[@PKTLFE]

Thanks David!! Yes very well. The best I’ve been in awhile now the weight of this reno is off my shoulders 😅

[@annemeltzer380]

Well done Amie,you have built such a wonderful tiny home, have been watching you for years now, love your videos, you have come such a long way. We are in for a lot of rain this week, you now have a sound home for you, Edge and Luna. Look after them and savour the memories , I just recently lost my 12 year old cat and I treasure the memories.

[@PKTLFE]

Thanks Anne, yes! We just had about 40mm in an hour 👏im terribly sorry to hear about your Cat passing 😞 hardest part of pet ownership.

[@annemeltzer380]

Thank you for your kind thoughts Amie, he was sick but didn’t show it until the end so rather sudden for me. Have a wonderful photo on my wall and plenty of happy memories.

[@emeloin]

The caravan looks fantastic. Very practical. Good to have lived for a while in it so you got to know what you really need.

[@PKTLFE]

💯

[@wildpeace]

Your home is beautiful and it’s inspiring to see how it’s evolved over time. Well done!

[@cindybundrick3469]

[@247cmason]

Awesome Job Love it!!!!❤

[@PKTLFE]

Thanks 🤗

[@PKTLFE]

Thank you!!!

[@smaldo19]

Great work on the van. One little thing, recon you should store your butane cans outside in your front box just to be safe. 😉

[@PKTLFE]

Advise taken onboard! Now stored in the front :)

[@baylztheexplorer3291]

Hi where did you get the front and rear windows from?

[@PKTLFE]

@@baylztheexplorer3291 these windows were already installed when I purchased the caravan. I contacted the manufacturer a few years ago and they said they no longer make them for caravans :(

[@peteboe2114]

Congratulations on your design and execution of same. This is the first video I’ve seen where the design takes weight distribution into account. Well done.

[@joelmonkley6177]

Honestly one of the best designed and refurbished caravans I have seen it should be on Tiny Homes show great job best wishes❤

[@sheiladighans3104]

Amie are you coming back?

[@PKTLFE]

Sure am! Lots to catch you all up on. Head to my Instagram for most recent updates :)
