Tiny House Movement

I agree. I've watched the show a couple time with DW. I haven't seen a tiny house I would trade my mh for. Plus the mh is made to drive from place to place.

Totally agree. Why build a tinyhouse that is not made for doing much travedl , heavy as well?..Sounds like an RV tome

Excuse my language, but tiny homes are stupid. You watch the shows and they all talk about seeing the country. Then none of them have the means to pull the rig so they hire it out. During the move they sweat bullets to go 5-10 miles.

Then the neat thing is a loft bedroom in them. Put's the tiny home over 14 feet high. Good luck going down the road with that height.

None of them have tanks so FHU is a must. None of them have slides so you're stuck on livable square feet. What really makes me laugh is when they come in around $60,000 for 300 square feet. That's $2,000/ foot with no land, and cheap construction to boot. Sorry, that's just dumb in my book. I guess being a hipster and looking smart, doesn't mean you are.

I absolutely agree with you there. I've been bewildered over this "new" movement also. I think the big difference between an RV and a tiny house is, tiny houses are mostly stick-built, wood and nails, very indiviudalized. RV are still mass produced.

Another thing that grabbed my attention about "tiny houses" is the creative use of storage space. RV's don't utilize very many "smarts" when it comes to utilizing every inch of available space. RV have a LOT of dead space never used, covered over, and hidden.

Also, RV are designed to "move" on the road. Tiny houses, although are designed to (sometimes) move, most do not.

It still blows me away that those tiny houses sell for UP from $100,000! Astounding! Simply crazy in my opinion. But, if it makes someone happy, I suppose that's all that matters.

Give this a few more years and the "fad" will come to an end. They will be wanting to move back to their McMansions and they won't be able to sell their tiny houses, because the market will not want it any more .... BUT ...

RV's will continue on! Rock on RVers!
