Tiny House on Wheels

Scroll
All the essential rooms that a normal house would have, you'll find in a Tiny House as well. They are optimized to use as little space as possible.
There are many advantages to living in a Tiny House on wheels, but the biggest one is probably the ability to travel with your home.
A Tiny House on wheels has to fit on its trailer "foundation". Unless you want to deal with oversized load permits, stick to highway-legal standards.
Finding a place for your "Tiny":
  • Lease or buy land
  • Ask Friends and Family
  • Search for campsites
  • Find a local Tiny Home community
  • Less floor and storage Space
  • Harder to entertain guests
  • Needs frequent cleaning
  • Zoning restrictions can limit possible parking spots
  • No space to expand your family
  • Lack of privacy can become a mental health issue
  • Custom-built Tiny Houses can get expensive
Sustaining an average lifestyle with a house, car and other material posessions that you think you need, puts you under constant financial pressure and prevents you from spending your time doing things that make you happy, like being with family and friends or practicing your hobbies.
Typical Tiny Houses require 98% less energy than average households:
  • Less space to heat
  • Often completely off-grid by relying on solar panels, rain water collection and composting toilets
  • Built with reusable materials
