Sacramento couple turn Ram van into a DIY tiny home called 'Flippie' - Business Insider

, the couple was sleeping on Marlon's parents' couch and living out of their backpacks for over a year.

They initially moved into Flippie with just their backpacks and two gaming chairs that reclined into a bed, living in their van part-time in the middle of winter without any added insulation. "When we bought her, our immediate thought was to hire professionals to build it for us knowing how little experience we have in building anything!" Grace Aquino. "We called a few companies who builds camper vans and realized just how expensive it is. So we're down to doing it ourselves as our only practical choice!"

The couple chose to furnish the van with Ikea pieces because of the company's easy-to-build, lightweight furniture choices. In total, the couple spent $992.84 furnishing the van build, not including items such as the fridge, power bank station, ottoman, drawer, and additional accessories.The wheelbase is 136 inches and the interior is 60 square feet.

They got ripped off for $1000

This is pretty cool
