Q&A

Why did you choose a vintage camper as your off-grid home?

We chose a vintage camper because it offers a comfortable and stable living space while we build our off-grid homestead. It provides all the necessary amenities such as a spacious living room, a big kitchen, a real shower, and a queen-size bed.

What were the reasons behind this decision?
