What is the size of a tiny house to pull down the road?

An 8 1/2 foot width is standard in tiny houses because that's the maximum width that can safely travel down roads without an oversize permit. We also build some tiny houses on wheels 10+ feet wide as Park Model RVs and procure oversize permits in every state they'll travel through to get to their destination.

Tiny Houses on Wheels are sized for the road.

An 8 1/2 foot width is standard in tiny houses because that’s the maximum width that can safely travel down roads without an oversize permit. We also build some tiny houses on wheels 10+ feet wide as Park Model RVs and procure oversize permits in every state they’ll travel through to get to their destination. 10+ foot wide houses, of course, aren’t recommended as houses that will travel more than once. While the length of tiny houses is variable (we’ve built everything from 16 feet to 32 feet) the height is also restricted by the road. 13 1/2 feet tall is the maximum, which means the ceiling can be just over 10 feet from the floor inside the tiny house. That’s why we can’t build a sleeping loft you can stand up in– unless you’re only two feet tall.

What size vehicle do you need to own to tow your tiny house?

You should have a vehicle with a towing capacity that exceeds the weight of your tiny house. This article will help you determine what towing capacity you’ll need based on the estimated weight of your tiny house.

It can be helpful to take lessons first.

If you don’t have experience towing, see if there are classes offered in your area before you set out on the road with your tiny house in tow. If you don’t want to take an entire course, have someone you know who’s experienced in towing give you a few pointers. Having someone watch what you’re doing in-person is more helpful than YouTube videos, because they can tell you what you’re doing wrong and right.

Shorter tiny houses are lighter.

We recommend a house up to 24 feet long for towing. Anything larger (or heavier) gets unwieldy for travel. (We can still build a bigger house if you’re not planning on traveling with it!)

If you don’t want to tow your house, hire a professional.

There are companies that do this all day, every day so you don’t have to. If you’re only moving your house once, it may be best to leave the towing to the pros. If you’re on the east coast, email us at info@bbtinyhouses.com for a towing company recommendation.

What is the lifespan of a tiny house?

With proper maintenance, your home on wheels can last over 30 years. Ultimately, your tiny house is a durable, affordable housing option that can last you a lifetime.

spindrifthomes.com - How long does a tiny home last? Tips for tiny home durability!

Tiny homes are trendy right now. But what do they look like in ten years? It’s a valid question—you plan on living here! The durability of a home on wheels might surprise you. Whether you plan on a two or ten-year stint in a tiny home, you'll be okay. Well-built tiny houses last for decades.

Do tiny houses degrade faster than traditional ones?

Some wear and tear are unavoidable for a home of any size. Constant human presence affects every home, especially if you have kids or pets! But is it true that a tiny house degrades faster than a traditional home?

Not necessarily.

When we first looked into tiny houses, the word "durable" wasn't the first descriptor that came to mind. But despite its unassuming size, a tiny home can last as long as a traditional house if it's structurally sound and built with the right materials. Here are a few factors to keep in mind when considering the longevity of your home:

How often you move your house

The type and quality of materials used for your house

Build quality

Number and age of occupants

Climate severity

It's also worth noting that repairs are more cost-effective for tiny homes—220 square feet of flooring is 90% cheaper than the 2,200 you might need for a traditional house!
