The two New Englanders Heather and Dana met in college and fell in love. A few months after graduation, they spent a month road tripping, and realized that all they needed fit into a single station wagon. So they decided to try out the tiny life. They went on the hunt for a camper they could convert into a tiny home.
“We decided that we would go for a newer, better kept model, so that we could focus on what we really cared about- converting it into a comfortable living space. On Craigslist, we found a trailer that stood out; a 2010 23 foot trailer. We took a look at it, and realized the potential it had. Later that day, the owner towed it to our apartment!”
But the Surveyor Travel Trailer wasn’t exactly decorated to Heather and Dana’s taste.“It was the classic wood veneer cabinetry and ugly wallpaper. It was livable for a weekend, and thankfully all of the appliances were in good shape. But we wanted more. We started out doing a couple small projects, and kept realizing new potential for this little place and ended up nearly redoing it all.”
Lots of fake wood and very dark interior
And the impressive result: The kitchen/dining room/living room
Kitchen/bedroom
Most of the kitchen items are on display, which make them easy to access
One of the couple’s favorite features: Pegboard to hang all of their kitchen accessories.
Heather and Dana rarely watch TV, but instead use the screen to display their photos!
The bench, which has ample storage underneath, and folds out to be a bed
The desk is small but functional. It has enough room to do work, but not enough to permit clutter.
The young couple custom built the end of bed storage. Pine boards pull out, with lots of space underneath.
In the middle of the storage area, there’s a built-in outlet that also has USB ports.
