Over the years, we’ve seen many innovative tiny houses, but the Rubishack by Canada’s Rubitracks takes things to a whole new level. This extraordinary tiny home combines off-road capability with compact living, featuring its own engine and bolt-on tracks for tackling the toughest terrains. Essentially a hybrid between a motorhome and a tiny house, the Rubishack is built on a heavily modified truck base with a first-generation Cummins engine that has clocked only 240,000 km (almost 150,000 miles). Designed to handle rivers, snow, mud, and beaches, this four-wheel (or four-track) drive tiny house is perfect for adventurous souls.
Built for Adventure
The Rubishack is anchored by custom bolt-on tracks made by Rubitracks, enabling it to overcome even the most challenging landscapes. Its off-road capability rivals that of a dedicated 4×4 vehicle, making it ideal for off-grid living or exploration in remote locations. The team at Rubitracks designed this mobile home with versatility and resilience in mind, ensuring that it can traverse everything from snowy mountains to muddy forests.

Compact Yet Functional Living Space
Measuring 16 ft (4.8 m) long and 7 ft (2.1 m) wide, the Rubishack offers a cozy yet functional interior. The living space is built from wood and features ample glazing, allowing natural light to flood the space. A charming planter is integrated into the front of the home, adding a touch of greenery to the rugged design.
Inside, the driver and passenger seats, sourced from a 1970s motorhome, swivel 360 degrees for maximum flexibility. The sleeping area is located in front of the driving position, while a seating area and table are situated just behind the driver’s seat, creating a compact but comfortable living arrangement.
More Than Just a Tiny House
The Rubishack is not merely a conventional tiny house – it’s a promotional tool created by Rubitracks to showcase their ingenuity and craftsmanship. Although it isn’t intended to hit the commercial market, it has captured the imagination of tiny house enthusiasts and off-road adventurers alike.
The team has released several videos showcasing the Rubishack in action, traversing rugged landscapes and demonstrating the extensive modifications that went into its creation. For those curious about what’s possible in tiny house design, the Rubishack provides a fascinating glimpse into a future where tiny homes meet off-road adventure.
The Future of Off-Road Tiny Living?
While the Rubishack won’t be available for purchase, it serves as a unique example of how tiny homes can merge with rugged, off-road living. With its powerful engine, tracks, and compact wooden home, this extraordinary creation by Rubitracks proves that tiny living doesn’t have to be confined to stationary spots – it can be as mobile and adventurous as you are.
