Temo van Tongeren, the owner of Chill Mobile Apartments, was inspired to create a truly mobile, off-grid, and affordable housing solution in response to the devastating Northern Rivers flood crisis of 2022. This catastrophic event highlighted the urgent need for resilient and adaptable housing options in flood-prone areas. Van Tongeren's innovative concept addresses these challenges while offering a spacious living environment that remains fully mobile. One of the standout features of Chill Mobile Apartments is the ability to combine multiple modules, creating larger, more complex living arrangements. This modular approach allows for the creation of multi-room setups, expanding the possibilities beyond traditional tiny home designs.
Chill Mobile Apartments sets itself apart from traditional tiny homes by offering significantly larger spaces up to 450 square feet, superior mobility, and robust off-grid capabilities, all within a customisable, sustainable design built to adapt quickly to changing environments.

Chill Mobile Apartments are designed from the ground up with integrated solar panels, battery storage, and water collection systems, offering superior off-grid capabilities. This is a major benefit over traditional tiny homes, which often require additional modifications for such functionality.

Our off-grid systems feature robust solar setup with high-efficiency panels on the roof, harnessing renewable energy. Coupled with advanced battery storage, it ensures consistent power even during low sunlight. Additionally, a backup generator offers an extra layer of energy security.
Water management in our units include a rainwater harvesting system that collects and stores water from the roof and gutters in onboard tanks, reducing dependence on external sources. For hot water, the units use gas-powered systems to ensure a steady supply independent of the grid.
Internet connectivity, is addressed through the integration of Starlink satellite internet in Chill Mobile Apartments. This advanced technology provides high-speed internet access even in the most isolated areas, enabling remote work and helping residents stay connected.
Waste management in our off-grid homes uses incinerator toilets, eliminating the need for traditional sewage systems or septic tanks, enabling comfortable living in remote areas with minimal maintenance and an environmentally friendly approach.
Chill Mobile Apartments are constructed from insulated freezer truck bodies, which already boast substantial insulation designed for refrigeration purposes. This provides superior thermal efficiency compared to many traditional tiny homes, keeping the interior temperature stable across different climates without excessive energy use.
The freezer truck bodies used for Chill Mobile Apartments are engineered to withstand harsh conditions and the rigours of road transport. This makes them exceptionally durable and capable of enduring extreme weather and travel stresses, which can be a challenge for some traditional tiny homes built with less rugged materials.
Yes, Chill Mobile Apartments retain their mobility advantage due to their origin as truck bodies. They are naturally designed for frequent relocation, offering a level of mobility that may require additional considerations and modifications for many traditional tiny homes not initially built on a wheeled chassis.
Chill Mobile Apartments come equipped with solar panels, battery systems, and adapted water collection systems as standard features, leveraging the flat, unobstructed surfaces of the truck bodies. While some traditional tiny homes can be outfitted similarly, Chill Mobile Apartments are designed from the outset for optimal off-grid functionality, making them immediately ready for remote living without relying on external utilities.
