Tiny Homes

I've been seeing a lot of shows and articles about Tiny Homes. The one article I just read was a 150 sq ft, 8' x 20' house built on a double axle trailer frame. Just curious if these types of homes can be registered and hauled around? I understand a TT, etc have all the holding tanks & hookups but still. If I was rich, I think it would be a fun project (my dad and sister built a teardrop years back), but since I'm not, I'll be sticking with my Jayco 20'.

    Watched tiny homes this weekend and both of them built theirs and hit the road. ONe from Ca to New York. the other from Colorado and moved to oregon in it. both pulling them behind a truck..one they kept covering or shading out the license plate.

    PS there is a movement of these but they can cost $30k and up. My wife said would it not be better to just by a TT or 5er? and use it..

    I watched a documentary about a guy who built one of these. It cost him over $70,000 and it still wasn't finished after over a year. It's an interesting concept, but not very cost-effective.
