If you’re looking to go tiny or downsize but don’t exactly want to live in less than 200-square-feet OR be limited by an 8.5-foot wide trailer, then you might like this option. It’s still a tiny house on wheels but it’s a park model because it’s much bigger.
These sort of units are nothing new, and this one is built by Palm Harbor Homes. It has a relaxing beach vibe, doesn’t it? Take a look below, and let us know in the comments, would you consider living tiny in a park model sort of like this one?

Probably one of the smallest cars on the streets these days. A vintage Fiat is shown here pulling a matching retro teardrop trailer.
As you see below the retro teardrop camper is outfitted in coordinating red and white checkered fabric. This classic trailer is chic in its own retro way.

I just had to show you Tim and Hannah’s off-the-grid 196 sq. ft. micro cabin.
They built it themselves completely in Tahoe, California and have been living in it for almost two years.
The couple started off with 20 acres and absolutely no blueprints.
But I’m sure they had tons of ideas that they had gathered online while dreaming about the project years before.
So here’s what they came up with… And it was all completely DIY with the intention of creating a space for living simply.

I thought you’d enjoy this off grid tiny house that’s right on the beach.
It sort of has that classic Spanish style which I like.
And it’s in an area that’s completely off the grid (surrounded by dunes).
Improvements were made by a team of builders and architect Alejandro Gonzalez.
Since there’s no electric it’s lit by candles and lanterns.
To get here you have to use a 4×4 vehicle to get through the dunes.
About eight blocks away, though, you can find a store with supplies and food.

This is the story of a man named Larry who built a self-sustained and off-the-grid home out of two shipping containers. He wanted all of the comforts of a home and to be able to live in it comfortably up to a year or more if need be.
To do this he ordered two sea containers and welded them together to make one awesome cabin. Water is heated using solar power or by woodstove if necessary. Access to water is by well. The two containers combined add up to a 40′ x 16′ floor plan so about 640 square feet of space inside.

Three amazing nurses have come together to build a medical tiny house to better care for this 8 year old boy who was born with a terrible skin disorder called epidermolysis bullosa.
The cozy little cottage is called the Honey House and it functions like a burn unit on wheels that will provide better treatment for Brian Ilg.
I wanted to show you the current progress of the house (which even has dormers and a loft to store Brian’s medical supplies) as well as give you a chance to help build it.
And here’s the best part.. It won’t cost you anything to help but you can donate money if you want to. All they’re asking for is your vote and you can help them win $10,000 from Kind Snacks to help with their Honey House project.

Our tiny house friends from New Zealand are at it again with another amazing tiny house tour.
Bryce Langston of Living Big in a Tiny House visits Brett Sutherland who just finished his 161 sq. ft. debt-free tiny home.
He was living in the Caribbean for many years and wanted to return home to New Zealand.
But Brett feared that if he had to rent a place to stay he’d lose all of his savings as soon as he returned home.
So instead of renting or buying a normal home, he looked into mortgage-free options and decided on building his own tiny mobile villa and named it the NV.

As far back as I can remember I’ve always been fascinated with bus conversions.
This mobile cabin on wheels (that used to be a school bus) is now ready for minimalist living and traveling.
How would you like to tour the country in this tiny house on wheels? Or maybe even live off grid in it?
Inside this 1959 Chevrolet Viking short bus you’ll find most of the comforts of home…
