Founded during the pandemic, Simpler Ways was the first marketplace dedicated to rolling homes — a carefully curated one-stop shop for anyone building or outfitting a campervan, skoolie, bus, RV or tiny home. It started in the back of an old Volkswagen bus, from a simple observation: living in a smaller space asks more of the things you own.
We called it space-optimized design. Every object earning its place, doing its job, and taking up as little room as possible. Over the years we brought together conversion kits from independent builders, gear from makers obsessed with minimalism, free DIY tutorials, and the stories of people who had gone before — all in service of one idea: that you can downsize your life and live better for it.
Simpler Ways was acquired by The Journal of Lost Time in 2024, and has now been blended into something different. Our store is closed, but the reason we built it isn’t going anywhere.
See you out there!
