Self-built

What Hopsie means to us

More a small home on wheels than an off-the-shelf motorhome: Hopsie should be cozy, practical, and easy to maintain.

The build is not quite finished yet, but Hopsie is now ready for its first trips. When we are travelling, we mainly want to take it easy, gain experience, and discover what works well in everyday life. We will make adjustments and continue the build calmly at home.

In the near future, our trips will probably take us mainly to Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Karin is still working, so we are often away at weekends, while holidays also allow us to travel farther afield.

Why build it ourselves? We wanted more space, more freedom, and a layout that suits the way we travel. Step by step, it is becoming a personal, self-sufficient home on wheels.

Quick overview

Atego 818 Built in 2017, with a box body of about 7 x 2.4 x 2.4 meters for an individual self-build.

Self-built Planned as a cozy, practical tiny house on wheels, with plenty of autonomy but no unnecessary complexity.

Space & layout A separate bathroom, lengthwise beds, and a generous seating area were part of the idea from the start.

Slow travel Quiet places, shorter stages, and arriving instead of just collecting kilometers.

Keep exploring

A dedicated section for the build is taking shape, with the layout, technical equipment, and information about solar, water, controls, and smart home in the motorhome.
