Join me on a one-year adventure in a small gypsy housetruck while I make weekly video blogs and a documentary about the nomadic lifestyle.
Amongst many other beautiful details, this housetruck has the coolest roof detail I have seen so far on my journey.
This tiny house on wheels is lived in full time and travels all around New Zealand doing the Extravaganza Fair.
I believe after seeing this housetruck, you will have difficulties saying you couldn’t live in a tiny home youself.
Or what do you think?
In this video you see and hear a little about New Zealands first Tiny House workshop. This workshop has been receiving coverage on varies medias including New Zealand Herald. The house is being built for the couple Leo and Tara. Leo is a DJ and a sustainability consultant at Why Waste. They have had help from Ben Garret which is the Director at Tiny Healthy Homes and Rosa Henderson an earth builder at Sculpted Earth and Brenton Stockman is a Freeman
The Extravaganza is a unique market/festival across New Zealand which is completely free.
You will find market stalls, arts and craft, food, musical entertainment and kids shows at the fair.
This is the group of housetruckers I have been traveling together with for the last one and a half months.

This is Half cab heaven. The passenger bus originally from wellington has been transformed into a beautiful home. What do you think about it? Feel free to share the video with your friends and family and show others that it is possible to live in a beautiful moving vehicle / tiny home
This couple travels around New Zealand making flowers and beautiful glass items in The Gypsy Fair. They were kind enough to let us see inside their home.
The magic table is a table that has multiple purposes. It turns from a table to a couch/bed.
I am building and renovating a housetruck, which is built on the back of a Toyota Hilux, in New Zealand. This video portrays the beginning of my build.
I have been searching for a van to convert into my home for the next year, while I roadtrip around New Zealand making weekly videos and a documentary. Instead I find a small housetruck that is already partly built.
In this video you get some tips on finding a vehicle in New Zealand.
On my next video you will see more of the truck I have just bought, so stay tuned
Because of the connotations attached to the word houstruck it is often easily understood, however there are not many that understand exactly what it is.
In The Gypsy Fairs there are two types of houses on wheels; houstruck and housebus. The main difference between a housetruck and a housebus is that a housetruck is a house which is separate from the cab where one drives, the house is simply built on top of a chassis. this is an internal framework that supports a man made object in its construction and use. Quite often there will also be a loft over the cabin of the truck.
A housebus though, is when the driver is literary driving inside of the house.
