Tiny Houses

Would tiny houses, you know the ones people tow behind their truck, be considered an RV? Has anyone on this forum had any experience with tiny houses?
  • They are basically a "park model" RV. The park models typically omit the holding tanks and get plumbed directly to sewer. Of course since they are custom made, it's certainly possible to add a holding tank (in which case they would qualify as an RV).

    Reality is beyond people who just like projects, they are pretty silly when you can get a new RV that has all the mod/cons for half the price and it can go down the road at 65mph on a regular basis.
  • When I think of an RV, I think of it as something that makes sense.
    A true house is significantly much bigger,....just IMO
  • When I think of an RV, I think of a unit that is self contained. Water tank and pump, holding tanks, battery and propane. I think the tiny houses are all meant to be hooked up to city services.
  • I don't think they would be considered a RV. As far as i know, they do not have holding tanks.
    And, they're not really designed for constant movement and relocation.

    I think they would be considered a mobile home.

    But, that's my opinion and we all know what that is worth. :)
