Our box truck is a 2009 GMC Savana G3500 cut-away with a 12 ft box.

We built our tiny home on wheels during the pandemic in the hopes of going on a year-long, North American rock climbing tour. We’re so excited to be sharing our home with you today...wilkommen!

—Moritz + Chiko



▶ How long did it take?

15 months. We build the truck during weekends and evenings.

▶ How much did it cost?

We bought the truck used for CA$13,000 with brand new tires. Materials and furnishings cost another CA$15,000.

▶ What experience do you have?

This is our first van build and we are complete noobs/beginners. Moritz is a modern day MacGyver and avid electronics hobbyist. Sachiko has an eye for design and detail and a planner at heart.

▶ Where will you be going?

Our original route was Toronto - Vancouver - San Diego - Dallas - El Potrero Chico - Slade (Red River Gorge) - NE USA - Toronto and everything in between. Now, we will be spending more time exploring Canada.
