This Solar-Powered RV Runs Without Fuel Or Charging Stations

Image
If you presently suffer from a mad case of wanderlust, you’re sure to appreciate this new motorhome unveiled by RV company Dethleffs. With a sleek design and head-to-toe solar panels, the vehicle was made for the open road. It’s especially perfect for those who seek to go off-grid for a while, as it runs without fuel or charging stations. Because the e.home is solar-powered and can store the sun’s energy in a battery pack, it allows campers to thrive in the wild without adversely impacting the environment.       New Atlas reports that the motorhome is built on Dethleffs Iveco Daily Electric chassis. The Iveco Daily is in turn powered by a variety of battery options. The largest battery gives the RV a range up to 174 miles on the European Cycle. With the camper’s extra weight, the e.home concept drops to just over 100 miles. In reality, that short driving range doesn’t matter, as the e.home has 334 square feet of thin-film solar panels on its exterio...

Take a peek at this seemingly standard teardrop – the front hatch is hiding a true dream

Image
Teardrops are all the rage right now because of their compact design, ease, and versatility.  The Silver Tears Campers  have caught our eyes though due to their incredibly detailed customized designs and the fact that two of their trailers are practically bars on wheels!       You can tell that each trailer has been hand-crafted and designed just for you - and we love that. All too often, trailers come off the factory line ready to be used by just about anyone. But teardrops feel special, and custom, and for that alone we love these little campers. So take the tour and see all the great amenities and details fitted into these little campers - you won't believe it. This camper is called the Tailgater - and you can probably see why. The hatch opens up and displays a beautiful bar that holds bottles, chills drinks, and essentially kicks off the party. We've never seen anything like this before, but we'd love to have one of these in the pa...

This 1973 Camper Is the Mobile Home of Our Dreams

Image
Through some clever DIY-ing, one blogger turned this trailer into a gorgeous getaway.     If you needed any more convincing that the tiny house movement is here to stay, look no further than this happy little RV, parked in the beautiful mountains of St. George, Utah. Here, DIY blogger Mandi Gubler of  Vintage Revivals  shows us how she overhauled this 1973 Bell camper—affectionately known as "The Nugget"—to create a personality-filled home away from home. Custom Mat Mandi extends a warm welcome with an Instagram-friendly doormat. Dining Nook Custom seats from  diyupholsterysupply.com  and patterned walls ( Glidden Spicy Banana Pepper  plus a freehand motif applied with a Sharpie paint pen) add whimsy to this corner, which transitions into sleeping quarters. Open shelving helps expand the room even more. "I knocked out the cabinets and pantry to make the space feel bigger and airier. Plus, everything's easier to find,"...

Take a Peek Inside This Impressive Tiny Farmhouse on Wheels

Image
The $60K home even comes with a sliding barn door.     The tiny house designers that brought you the stunning Escape Vista are back with a country-style model that's even more impressive: Escape Vintage. Unlike the company's previous modern-looking designs, Escape Vintage feels like a rustic cabin retreat with farmhouse details. The 315-square-foot abode comes with ample storage, a large kitchen area, a full bathroom, and a living area. Thanks to the house's 12 windows, the portable paradise also has no shortage of natural light. A farmhouse-like barn door leads to a spacious, first-floor bedroom, which has a queen-size bed with storage space underneath. On the other side of the tiny house, a ladder leads to a smaller loft space, which can be used for additional storage or can fit another bed. As a premium add-on, interested buyers can also get a second full-size bedroom loft, meaning six people could comfortably sleep in the tiny house. ...
