Well, better than a tent in ND at -30 deg F, but that would be the ONLY time!

Nary a chance. Can't see any advantage in a tiny house over anything.

If I was going to live full time in something that small, I would much rather be in an RV. In the RV, I can travel to different places.

No, but for the life of me I don't understand why you would not skip the Tiny House and just buy a much more livable RV!!!!!! This Tiny House thing is IMHO just a very inefficient RV design.


JMHO,

A "tiny house" is a fine idea, as long as you don't intend to use it the way people use RVs. If you plan to build it in a permanent location, and NOT make it mobile at all, fine. But if you intend to put it on a trailer frame, you are reinventing the wheel, and the designs I've seen make no sense in lieu of a real RV. RVs have decades of experience behind them; tiny houses have maybe 5 years, and are sorely lacking in many ways. Yeah, yeah, I know, greatest thing since sliced bread, better invention than peanut butter to listen to the advocates. For the money, I'd go with a regular RV, however.

We watched a Tiny House show last night.
No way we would buy one. Expensive and definitely tiny.

No..
we full time, and a tiny house doesn't tow as easy as a TT or 5vr
and you can't drive it the way you do a MH

It's fun being in the motorhome for several weeks as it's considered 'tiny' at 450 sq. ft. Our houses are comfortable as they can accommodate relatives and guests. Way more sq. footage than anyone would need but we have started collections over the years that need space.

So, no, a tiny house sounds good but would not work out for us.

MM.

I can see myself living in one if I were by myself and had property to put it on, but I would want one on a foundation and with a minimum of 400sqft. I think the ones on 20 ft trailers with no slides are cute but just too small for comfortable living.

[Old-Biscuit]

Not for the price they are going for :S

No. It would require me to sell the big house, down size and affix an anchor.

I thought about buying/building a tiny house and then I decided to buy an RV instead for full time living. It's easier to move from point A to point B.

A tiny house would be cool if I wanted to stay in one place longer. They often have really cool design features. Zoning can be tricky. I may go that route in the future when it's time to settle down more. I'm on the younger end of the spectrum for full timers. I may never want to settle down. 😉

Going from an RV to a tiny house? No way. We watch those tiny house shows and they really are tiny. An RV would be the much better choice: more elbow room, better storage. Even a park model would be a better choice.

I never studied up on them but would question whether they'd be allowed to be trailered on the highways or allowed in RV parks. Also, do they have holding tanks?
