The “Other” Tiny Houses: Van & Skoolie/Bus Conversion Owners

Moderator/Emcee: Mike Fuehrer (NavigationToNoWhere)

Since out first event in March 2016, the United Tiny House Association and our for-charity tiny house festivals have embraced and welcomed skoolie/bus conversion and conversion van owners to our events.  Over the past 2 years we have seen a huge increase in the number of these types of tiny homes – both on the road and at our events.  Come hear and learn for those who are living in, and who have built their own (and other’s), van conversions and skoolie/bus conversions.

Tiny Houses continue to prove their benefits before, during and after a natural disaster.  Listen to, and ask questions of, those who are experienced in preparing tiny homes for natural disaster and who have experienced natural disasters while living in their tiny homes.
