The trend of converting vehicles into houses has fascinated a number of travel enthusiasts who prefer living in their cars while on the road.
It also solves issues such as homelessness and land wrangles among family members. It takes about six months to convert a truck into a habitable house.
To finish the process, one requires approval from relevant authorities including the National Construction Authority (NCA) which approves design structures before construction.
Approximately, it costs about Ksh400,000 to convert a truck into a house depending on the size and other modifications to the interior.
In 2017, a Kenyan made a wooden Range Rover that became a global sensation with its all-wooden features including the interior.
The car was fitted with white leather seats and white tyre rims. To add color, the designer used white on the bonnet, creating an alluring combination of white and brown.
These are some of the unique vehicles seen maneuvering the Kenyan roads showing the creativity and passion of automobiles enthusiast.
