An American woman, McDaniel, and her partner bought a bus in 2018 for $40,000 and converted it into a camper for an additional $10,000. They lived in it for two years, spending less than $1,000 a month, but faced instability and lack of privacy. After moving to a 37-square-meter tiny house, they found it also didn't meet their needs: there was not enough space for their business and guests. McDaniel noted that the main issue is not the size of the home, but the inability to adapt to changing circumstances.
