They live in an overlander tiny home (the inside is so nice)

Trevor and Rae take us on a tour of their DIY Overlander tiny home, which they built on back of a retired snowplow. This 4x4 home is made for off-road adventures, and they tow an army trailer behind them for more storage.

Doing that for 110,000 is impressive! The Croked sink is cool, as is the dog! God Bless you two!

[@Wazimulife]

Louis is the coolest

[@SuperlativeCG]

My new inflatable house got a puncture last night. So now I'm living in a flat.

[@mjmcinnes]

😂

[@stevengatewood2725]

Well, you're lucky it didn't blow up.

[@pbayer773]

Love it ❤❤

[@seabliss22]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sandy_sd10]

😆😆😆

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

TIP- If you use those black velvet hangers you'll have TONS more hanging space. Great rig! If I could have anything I wanted, I'd choose something like yours. No one will be approaching that vehicle!

[@1nhonho]

Oh don't underestimate the nosiness of campers/RVers. 😆

[@bevtrue6937]

Wow. Outside? Box truck. Inside fancy home. What a contrast. Amazing. Fantastic bathroom door.

[@Cinematic-Frenzy]

WAZIMU is a SWAHILI word that means crazy. In KENYAN STREETS WAZIMU is filled with so much awesomeness

[@maliahjoy2959]

Cool

[@visitor5009]

THE BEST THING IS THE CROOKED SINK... IT'S JUST PLACED IN A NATURAL POSITION WHEN YOU'RE PREPARING FOOD IN THAT AREA, CUTTING, WASHING, COOKING... THAT WAS CLEVER ! LOVE IT !

[@amys5715]

This answered every question about traveling with a brachecephalic dog that has been holding me back. THANK YOU!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Wazimulife]

Much love to you! Cheers

[@BeeKay4444]

Beautiful setup. Lots of unique personal touches and I dig the couples energy. Louis is a cool dog. Just a side note….those essential oil diffusers can be unsafe and toxic for animals. Something to double check especially in such a small space. Safe travels and cheers to new adventures!

[@jrambo7495]

Yes, big time! Also air freshner, incense, and sprays.

[@revdupartist9386]

Agreed - Please check it out. Louis is too important.

[@Wazimulife]

Everything in our house is pet safe and Louis approved 🤙🏼

[@rosepetal21]

​@@revdupartist9386 exactly

[@Mrstigger747]

If you know what you are doing then then the oil diffuser is dog safe! I, sure they are very careful with Louis! I have also double checked with my vet and my naturopath and as long as you use high grade oils and a proper diffuser then you are just fine

[@traderjoe141]

Love this creative couple that knew what they wanted,and created it! Bravo! 🙌🏼❤️

[@kasperorganics-organiccott6881]

I love her sunflower tattoo. And the crooked little sink.

[@Wazimulife]

Trev designed my tattoo! Thank you! ❤

[@meridethhendry5733]

WoW! It’s amazing and it looks so homey inside and comfortable.

[@portnuefflyer]

I hope no one else has already commented on this, but the dog and the rig are a perfect match! You got nailed by the steel price hikes, bummer. I can imagine aluminum went even higher, it's always more that steel anyway. 1800 watts of PV is massive, my off grid home had 1200 watts and I was living large. You need to fab up a light weight, somewhat folding (or maybe not) 2 wheel trailer for that bike, to make full use of having a secondary mode of transportation. Grocery runs, doing laundry, etc., a trailer would be a huge help. I travel in a small plane along with a folding ebike, and the bike trailer I have makes it all much more practical. One of the best owner built rigs I've seen, great job.

[@Wazimulife]

Thanks for the love! Your set up sounds pretty legit too!

[@marieneu264]

Just saw this home in the background on another channel! I was so wanting to see more, and now here it is, just minutes later!!!

[@shoralhookes804]

THIS COUPLE IS WELL ORGANIZED FOR SURE GREAT JOB..

[@vernieplummer5148]

I love what you've done with the place but I see something that you could fix. We moved from a 2300 square foot house into an RV five years ago and in the course of cutting down on clothing I found out a great hack. Those slender little hangers with velvet on them take up so little space. I was using the plastic hangers, and went from about 5 feet to less than 3 feet of hanging space that way. I love those wooden hangers that you have but I think they take up even more space than the plastic ones. Think of how much more stuff you could hang up Woo Hoo!

[@revdupartist9386]

Yes! I also found some shiny metal ones...lol...that are just as thin as the 'velvet' ones. It's amazing how much space the hangers themselves can take up. Plus if that closet is deep enough there are those things that you can hook to hang other hangers on the 'original' anger. They may take up more room so I was thinking that perhaps something like a large jump ring that could slip onto the hanger from the top hook and then another hanger could slip on to it. Just an idea.

[@midgekelly6697]

Totally, agree with you on this

[@largemarge1603]

@Vernie, We roll our laundry. Everything goes in flip-top crates stacked two-high under the bed. . Two decades full-time live-aboard in our ExpeditionVehicle. This works for us.

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

Me: travel with a drooling dog! Ugh! Me, two seconds later: aw, who's a good doggie? You're a good doggie! What a sweetheart! *snuggle snuggle*

[@emoliver80]

A "3 stove burner" and "2 stove burner?" 🤔🤣 Totally something I'd say, too.

[@rrain3375]

The very best thing on your rig is the art work on the exterior. The washroom set up was also a good option. To have all the walls and floor waterproof. The marine grade paint was a good option.

[@xploration1437]

LoL, it looks stupid.

[@lilymax1008]

both are really cute

[@danielsmith4202]

Absolutely one of the best, and we'll thought out builds out there,great job.

Please make sure Trevor wears the right protective gear needed to protect his lung’s. I welder friend of mine who has done it for years has just been through a complete lung replacement. He got what is called welders lung 🫁 Beautiful home though xx

[@wandaandrew6584]

I love this. Everything is just perfect for me.

[@arcadeshift5071]

Everyone with these overland rigs has incredibly rare access to space/parts/building tools and or is a master carpenter, electrician, and engineer. It makes this lifestyle feel impossible to anyone that doesn't have tons of capital and skills :/

[@michaelcummings7246]

You can learn how to do it all if you want to. If you look around you'll find many of them didn't start out with all of those skills they learned them as needed to complete their builds or from other builds just like they did here. For most people I would suggest trying a sprinter van with some of the new kits they now have where someone else did the engineering already and you can put them together much faster and get out where you can see if it really is a lifestyle you want to live before trying something bigger/ more custom.

[@arcadeshift5071]

@@michaelcummings7246 I appreciate what you're saying but I don't have 45k sitting around for a heavily used Sprinter van + $10k for wood and parts. I live in an apartment so I have no where to build.

[@michaelcummings7246]

@@arcadeshift5071 For building space see if there is a maker space where you live they usually have places you can park while working on it plus the tools and people for some advice. Other option is Community College which often has parking space and some shop space where you can work on projects for your woodworking or welding classes etc and might even get some help from other students with it. Couple other build spaces are large storage units or some closed down industrial space which might be willing to rent out some space as a little income and activity in the building is better than nothing for them. Vans are more expensive then they were a few years ago but there are still good deals to be had. Go talk to shops that do fleet service work for local businesses and let them know what you're looking for. They often know who is planning to replace some vehicles and can help get you in contact with business. Also look for places that are going out of business that offered delivery service they oftentimes have a vehicles they need to get rid of and they are motivated seller because they usually need the cash. Just matter of thinking outside the box and doing some networking and putting a little time into it.

[@NikkiVelazquez]

Not everything is for everyone.

[@justinmichael8400]

Sounds like you suck at being poor. If you're poor and want nice things, you have to roll up your sleeves and build them yourself. The nice part is... if you do decide to tackle a project like this, you'll learn a lot, and it will be nicer than most things you can buy. You will most likely over engineer it, but youll also be able to fix ANY of it since you built it all. Stop limiting yourself by pretending you cant do something like this. Maybe not on this size or scale, but im sure if you saved up you could start with a short bus, and just learn as you go.

[@gerrierichardson7127]

Your build is sweet!" Beautiful wood and nice appliances. Cool lay out!"Have fun on your adventures. Be safe.😊

Really cool setup! Love the homemade stove. Love your pup, too!! Tfs.

[@bumblebee_mrs]

Loved this one but one thing I had to mention is that the wooden coat hangers could be black velvet to save space and also hold all the clothes comfortably. Excellent layout and storage all around. I love that they are both photographers, as am I.
