This is a quick video demonstrating van life with a Murphy bed!

During day mode, the bed hides into one of the van’s walls, acting as a sleek entertainment center. It quickly folds down for sleep mode when it’s time for bed. Would you consider this option for your own van life layout?

With its striking all-black exterior and clever no-loft layout, this 28-foot Kangaroo THOW proves that tiny house design doesn’t have to follow a formula. Built on a custom heavy-duty triple-axle Kangaroo trailer, it replaces the traditional sleeping loft with a queen-sized Murphy bed that folds over the couch, keeping the ceilings high and every inch of the home accessible.

At 8.5 by 28 feet, this build packs in a full kitchen with oak cabinetry, a bathroom with a Nature’s Head composting toilet, and even a built-in rainwater collection system. French doors welcome you in, and thoughtful built-in storage makes the most of every wall.

Here’s a beautiful 17-ft. tiny house on wheels for sale featuring a Murphy bed! It was used by the original couple for four years as a comfortable tiny home for two, and now is ready for a new owner.

The back wall is beautifully set up with a full kitchen (including a stove!) and there’s an L-shaped couch bed where the Murphy bed folds down at night. The space was professionally designed with eco-friendly elements, and it’s completely off-grid.
