  • If you had your own lot to park this, or let's say some place out of the way, how do you supply your own electricity? Solar panels?

  • @SithRage The houses are built to easily plug electricity and water. A solar power is also an alternative.

  • How do you get around the fact that the tiny house greatly exceeds the load rating of the trailer you are using, making it illegal to transport?

  • The house weighs about 5,000 lbs. The weight capacity for the trailer is 7,500 lbs.

  • these could do wonders to help the homeless and not just them, but regular everyday people who want to downsize their lives and have more freedom, people who have lost their homes because of disasters, this is an awesome idea.

  • Friggin' awesome! I could abide comfortably in one of those. Easy to keep up. Nothing to heat or cool etc... I don't think people (especially men and women) were meant to co-habitate. Don't believe me? Try getting married and talking the misses into agreeing on a NASCAR bedroom motif or DALLAS COWBOYS wallpaper in the living room. Noooooo. It's always flowers or butterflies or some such crap like that.

  • @TumbleweedHouses how much would this model cost?

  • owned

  • What about traveling? Wouldn't it cause a lot of wind resistance, and is that noticeable while driving say, a truck pulling it? Also, where could you find those electric/water hook ups in a public place?

  • @TumbleweedHouses: From your response it sounds like 5000 is an estimate. I would be interested to know actual weight when you get it weighed. thanks.

  • Boring !!!! go find a vid about benefits to whine on

    the rest of us are here to look at a great idea

  • @301sagonaraku: I think it could really work! theres so much that can be done with that idea.

  • @Evonne77 awesome idea!!!!!!!

  • @301sagonaraku: hmmm, perhaps a sort of care compound could be set up for those that arent stable, one where they could be monitored and taken care of while there.

  • i love the tiny hoise idea can you just imaine waking up one day and just deciding you wanna live by the lake or on by a mountain so you pick up your house and move

  • @Evonne77 i totally agre the only problem whould be the locations of it specially for the 'homeless" that might be mentally unstable.
