Riley Slayden
Hi! I’m Riley Slayden.
Several years ago, I set out on a journey to minimize and simplify my lifestyle. Soon after, I purchased a 1982 Chevy Shuttle Bus and converted it into a tiny home with my then girlfriend. That is when I started Living Tiny.
Living Tiny is a resource for anyone wanting to build out a school bus or van into their full-time living quarters. We focus on DIY projects that are affordable and that anyone can learn. We also feature other people living tiny!
While I no longer own the original ’82 bus, I converted a 1995 Chevy Van and have been living in it full time since. So regardless of where you are at in your tiny journey, I hope you find some useful information here.

Here’s everything you need to know about Living Tiny and how to use this site.
