Our Flagship, Proven Around the World
Orbita is our flagship, proven across 3 continents and 25,000 miles on the round-the-world expedition. Its 170″ interior is built around a convertible dinette that turns into a California king-size bed, so one space works for dining, guests and sleeping.
Aura

What people say on Google
Questions we hear most
What is the main difference between Orbita, Aura and Pulsar?
Orbita (170″) is our flagship, proven on the round-the-world expedition. Its dinette turns into a California king-size bed, so one space works for dining, guests and sleeping. Aura (170″) has a permanent queen-size bed that never needs converting, plus a separate lounge. Pulsar (144″) is the compact model built for serious off-road: its dinette converts to a queen-size bed, and you can choose a version with or without an indoor shower.
Which model is best for a couple? For a family?
Couples who travel for weeks at a time usually love Aura: there is nothing to set up at night. Couples who want the most agile van choose Pulsar. Families, or anyone who hosts grandkids and friends, usually choose Orbita; Orbita Max sleeps up to 7.
What do Essential, Expedition and Max mean?
They are packages, and they work the same way on every model. Essential is the complete foundation. Expedition adds the bigger battery bank, undermount A/C, winterized water, a smart-home system and upgraded suspension for longer trips off the grid. Max includes everything in Expedition and adds a lift bed and rooftop tent for more sleeping space. Orbita and Pulsar come in all three packages; Aura comes as Aura Essential and Aura Expedition because its bed is permanent.
How much does a Tiny Planet van cost?
Prices include the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Pulsar starts at $232,250 and Orbita at $237,250; Orbita Expedition, Orbita Max, Pulsar Expedition and Pulsar Max are priced in the comparison chart. Aura pricing is available on request. On a short call we can price the exact configuration you have in mind.
