Tiny home movement has gained momentum in the last few years. Part of
that movement are homes called tiny houses on wheels. They are small
houses constructed of standard materials and are built and secured to
the frames of trailers, and can be pulled behind a vehicle just like a
travel trailer.
These small homes range from approximately 65-140 square feet. Because they are on wheels, they are considered travel trailers, and do not require a building permit. Of course they have to meet Department of Transportation guidelines size limitations, but you can basically much put
one anywhere you can
place an recreational
vehicle. Many people place them in back yards, and use them as spare
rooms, or office space. They are also used as primary residences, also
in parked in a back yard, RV parks, or placed on personal lots of land.
Often theses homes are self-contained with electrical and plumbing systems. They can be designed to traditional septic systems, and electrical connections, or equipped with holding tanks and electrical connections the same as a travel trailer. You can also live off the grid, and quip these homes with solar or wind power, and water harvesting systems, and composting, or incinerating toilets like you would find on a boat.
If you plan to build your own plans to build your own tiny house on wheels, or purchase a finished home, there are many options to suite your needs and location of your home. Tiny houses on wheels are affordable options if you have a desire to live a more simple life.
