Built Differently
The details, systems, and engineering choices that set Tiny Planet apart.
No lamination, real wood only.

We use materials typically found in high-end residential interiors rather than traditional RV construction — including bamboo plywood cabinetry, real stone veneer, premium furniture hardware, and Rubio Monocoat natural oil finishes.

✓ Bamboo plywood cabinetry

Every detail is finished to an exceptional standard — from seamless cabinetry fitment and hidden fasteners to meticulously organized electrical systems and rigorous multi-stage quality inspections.

Details That Make Life on the Road Easier

Ideas that came from living in our own vans. Most people never notice them until the first week on the road.

    Pull-out bed step

    A step slides out from under the bed so climbing in is easy. It hides a drawer of its own.

Questions About Features

Can I run the air conditioner without hookups?

Yes. The 12V air conditioner runs from the batteries, with no generator and no campground hookup. The same battery bank also runs the induction cooktop.

Can I use the van in winter?

Yes. One hydronic system heats the cabin, the floors and the water, and heated tanks and plumbing keep water flowing below freezing. The design was tested through freezing nights in Siberia and Mongolia.

How long can I stay off-grid?

It depends on how you use the van, mostly on how much you run the A/C and the cooktop. The lithium batteries hold up to 18 kWh and recharge from 600W of rooftop solar on sunny days and from the alternator while you drive. For water, you have a 35-gallon fresh tank and a 20-gallon grey tank with levels on your screen, and hot water for up to 100 minutes of showers.

What kind of toilet is it?

A waterless toilet on a sliding shelf behind a door. It stays hidden while you shower and slides out when you need it. A Tiny by Separett toilet comes standard, and Laveo or Clesana toilets are available as upgrades.

Is Starlink included?

Partly. The Starlink device itself is not included, but the pre-wiring and the installation are. Once you have your own Starlink kit, you can work, video call and stream from remote places far from cell coverage.

How are the three models different?

Systems, materials and craftsmanship are the same in all three. The layout and size change. Orbita has a 170″ wheelbase and a convertible dinette: a lounge for up to 7 people by day and a California king bed at night. Aura has a permanent queen bed that stays made. Pulsar is the compact 144″ model, with a queen dinette bed and a Shower or Crew layout.
