The Coolest Handmade RVs, Mobile Homes & Trailers For Sale

People are tired of mass production. It might be hard to tell when you’re standing in the aisles of Walmart or Target, but an appreciation for handcrafted, one-of-a-kind beauty is on the rise. More and more people are returning to an older way of buying things — aiming to buy (or make) fewer but higher quality goods that are more personal and long-lasting than their big-factory counterparts. You can find evidence of this trend everywhere, from the #slowliving feed on Instagram to the handmade/vintage e-commerce marketplace Etsy to your coworker that has suddenly taken up artisanal bread-making. And the world of RVs is no exception. Customized and homemade RVs are all over Pinterest, offering inspiration for ambitious DIY-ers. Some are available for rent on Campanda. And there are scores of companies around the world offering beautiful, handcrafted trailers, motorhomes and other RVs for sale. We rounded up 15 of our favorite (mostly wooden) handmade RVs that you can actually buy. Whether you’re an RV enthusiast, a prospective tiny home owner or you simply appreciate good old-fashioned quality craftsmanship, you’re sure to love these stunning RVs and motorhomes.

It’s hardly a “budget” option — prices start at $63,900 for 44 square feet — but you’d be hard-pressed to find superior craftsmanship or quality anywhere on the market.
