A full-time camper dweller of three years weighs whether to upgrade to a $27,000 RV or build an $8,000 shed-conversion tiny home.

Summary

The speaker has lived full-time in a 23-foot camper for three years and is considering two options for more space: a new 28-foot camper for approximately $27,000, or converting a 12x24 or 12x32 storage shed into a tiny home for around $8,000 plus renovation costs. He asks viewers to comment on which option they would choose and notes that either path would require taking on debt.
