After renovating over 400 Airstreams and living in boats and vehicles for a decade, Matthew and Joanna Hofmann created their Living Vehicle: a modern mobile home meant for year-round living in extreme weather (-4°F to 120°F) and equipped to go off-grid for long periods. [Our 1st video with Matthew's Airstream renovation work:    • Studies architecture, decides to rest...  ]

They started with a well-insulated aluminum shell with everything tucked inside (to prevent pipes from freezing in the winter). It’s designed to be self-sufficient with a large bank of rooftop solar, a heat pump/mini-split AC, and still-evolving water capture tech that extracts humidity from the air.

"When we came up with the name Living Vehicle it was two-fold," explains Joanna, "one, it's designed for full-time living compared to an RV which is recreational, but also, it's something that was able to sustain life, so being able to create water, for instance, creating your own energy."

I work repairing Airstreams and other trailers, and I am astounded at the level of thought and ingenuity that you've put into this build. My hat is off to you, sir!

Ive been following these people and their Living Vehicles for years, now. So glad you could tell their story. They've really hit the nail on the head for full time living off grid and also mobile living.

As an architect, I have been wondering when a truly self-sustained living unit would be available - I guess we have it now. Until now, boats, with a water making system have been the only viable option for indefinite off the grid living, only limited by food, and required repairs. This really combines all of the latest technologies, most intriguing of which is the atmospheric water generator. Water generation is the key to living off the grid. I will be looking at options to adapt this structure/vehicle into the new California state ADU laws. This structure should open the door to new site location options. The cost of providing utilities to a new living unit is typically a large part of the budget. this vehicle could be a game changer.

I LOVE how well built this is. So many builders claim luxury because of high quality finishes but none of it is built to last. This is clearly built to last. Also love the thick walls for insulation because they probably also make it quieter in addition to helping with temperature control. Sound is a big part of a space so it's great that a mobile space is quiet.

Thank you for taking us on a trip down memory lane! So fun to look back on all of the adventures we've had over the years :)

Engineering masterpiece. Every component in this build is really not that much money except for the solar panels and numerous marine batteries. You would be paying for this guys skill and prowess. Well done Sir.

Oh hell ya! A real kitchen, a real bedroom, a real bathroom, real power, a terrace, easy to haul, season resistant, water collecting, AND a dishwasher…OMG!!! Works for me. Honestly the ONLY thing I’d add (as with every dwelling) is the ability to control the shower head so I could get fully wet & turn the head off, soap up & then turn the head on to rinse off. I had one of those at one place I lived. It was really low flow to begin with and adding this really put it over the top. It just had was a button right at the head that turned the flow off and on. Easy peasy. Saves lots of water. That plus the full water reclamation/recycling and the air/water grabber (to balance evaporation) and this would run as long as there’s power to run it. Great design and build. It’s wonder-full.

Really nice high end build. Extracting water from the air using solar power is so dang cool!

Super cool! Price is a lot but understandable for the amount of tech, build quality, craftsmanship etc. if I was a multimillionaire I’d buy one. That’d be sweet to be able to live that comfortably off grid

I think of it more as a tiny home on wheels than just a trailer, especially with the fold out deck. It's well thought out, that's for sure and he's still improving on it with water recycling in the works. He probably does alright for himself and has a high-end clientele. It's good to see the latest living innovations and the latest technology with fully off grid capabilities. Thanks again for another interesting video.

Amazing build, can’t help but wonder what it cost to build one of those. Looks like it has every creature comfort you can put in a trailer.
