Hopsie's build

Hopsie is slowly becoming our home on wheels: practical, cozy, and built for the slower way we like to travel.

How Hopsie is taking shape

This is not a polished finished project, but a build that grows with every trip. What works stays. What becomes annoying on the road gets improved.

The idea is a cozy tiny house on wheels: a separate bathroom, lengthwise sleeping, a generous seating area, and as much autonomy as possible.

Here we gradually collect the layout, furniture building, materials, and practical solutions – not as a perfect guide, but as what works for us.

Build areas

Idea & concept A cozy tiny house on wheels with a separate bathroom, lengthwise sleeping, a generous seating area, and as much autonomy as possible.

Living & everyday use The build should work on the road: sturdy, cozy, serviceable, and with enough room to live, not just sleep.

Energy & solar The solar and energy system is now installed: 2.925 kWp on the roof, a 48-volt setup with Victron Multi RS Solar, Cerbo GX, and Pylontech storage. This page describes the system. Go to solar & energy

Water Fresh water, grey water, and the bathroom area should stay practical for everyday use. The exact setup will get its place in the technology section. Go to water

Technology & controls Control and smart-home features should support everyday life in Hopsie without making the build unnecessarily complicated.

Storage & progress Storage, workshop solutions, and small improvements grow with our trips. The documentation will be added step by step.

More about the project

The detailed solar, water, and technology pages will grow over time. Until then, this overview shows which topics matter in the build.
