Couple Spends $25,000 To Convert Old Truck Into Mobile Home And It Looks Better Than Most Apartments

For most of us, buying even the smallest house seems like a far-fetched fantasy. But this young couple from Nottingham, UK, have decided to do things their way. As the two love to travel and their jobs include being outdoors – they decided that they needed a mobile home which could travel together with them. So, after “a few beers,” an idea came to Martin’s head – he should buy “a big American truck.” It turns out; it wasn’t just a crazy thought to be quickly washed away by a hangover – Martin and Iona started planning on getting a truck in which they could live in.

Iona and Martin went on eBay and found a truck, which was previously used for delivering bread, for just a £3,600 (approximately $4,670). However, to fully complete the renovation and turn the delivery truck into a liveable, tiny house was no easy task. While Martin did most of the laboring, Iona took care of the interior design. The couple worked on the project full-time, and it took four months to complete. Now, they are enjoying their beautiful house on wheels and mountain views in France. Scroll down below to see the amazing home project that the couple did by transforming an old truck into a stylish home.

“About four years ago after a few too many beers I thought about buying a big American RV” – Martin said

“We bought the lorry in May this year. We spent four months working on it full-time”

“We are really lucky to not have to work and we did everything ourselves”

“It’s amazing what you can do. We are not exactly slumming it”

The couple even designed the place on two different levels

The bedroom is furnished with a double bed and stylish furniture

The storage space has been carefully planned so that the two young travelers can fit all their belongings there
