So if it's driven by economic issues why are people paying 3 times the cost of a similar conventional park model RV to buy a 'tiny home'?
The park model out in our back yard cost about $24K, new, 6-7 years ago and it's beautiful, layed out nicely, a good size for one person, and included all the appliances (except a clothes washer & dryer). It of course also included it's steel under-carriage, axle, removable tongue, and tires.
If folks are spending about $72K for a Tiny House anywhere near the size, design, and furnishings of this particular park model ... then they're coming mighty close to being st*p*d ... from a money management viewpoint.
However, I think they may be driven by a social motive not closely related to personal economics or good money management. :h
