Living in luxury and peace has almost nothing to do with the big houses. People make tiny homes out of trailer boxes, and the interior of even such tiny homes are a fantasy for the viewers. If you are a camper or a minimalist, a tiny trailer or a vehicle home is the perfect choice for you. In case you just want to camp in a beautiful countryside with less mess of camping, these glamping pods converted from vintage vehicles are just the best for you.
