  I was always led to believe that any trailer towed on a public road couldn’t be over 8′ wide without a permit? Correct me if I’m wrong. Beautiful build regardless. Sincerely Peter

    Except for the highways that are federally regulated, it will depend on the state and even local county what the specific rules apply and how strictly they’re enforced or not.

    On the highways, you can get away with 8′ 6″ max width but that may limit you to only traveling within 8-10 miles of the highway on nearby local roads, which can be a constraint that say a Class A motor home may have to deal with, for example.

    While local roads may be more strict, usually, or less. Dirt roads, back country areas, etc. may have little to no regulations on the matter. Such variations is also why when you do need permits it’s for each area/state you pass through that requires the permit and may require additional things like an escort in some places.

    It can also depend on the width of the road, like whether it’s 12′ wide or wider for what is allowed to be on it, along with other considerations as weight, length, and height can also factor to whether or not you need a permit and/or special license. Add, some places/regions may allow annual/seasonal permits for those who travel often but most would be time limited, but it ranges from single trip to extended use.

    Most tiny houses are built so they can use the highways and so usually use the max 8′ 6″ width limit. Though, that’s widest point to widest point. So something like a roof overhang means the walls have to be further in from that max width. Same with sconce lights, or anything else that sticks out the sides, as everything else has to be less to keep the structure within the limit.

    However, it’s not difficult to get permits and depending on type and area you’re traveling it may not cost much extra. You may even be able to go online to get a permit, or just plan some days in advance in others.

  Geez, do you plan on washing an elephant in that gigantic kitchen sink?

  I like this home so much that I went to their website to build my own exactly as this one but maybe changing the exterior colors and some colors here and there. Unfortunately, just starting the build was already at $154,200.00. That is without adding anything at all which is nothing like this house, essentials like the a stove and microwave are extras and so you are charged more for those. No dishwasher and not washer and dryer either, they are extra which I could understand but no range or microwave in the kitchen included?! Just choosing the width of 10 feet like this house cost an additional $22,230.00 which brought the running total to$176,430.00 and I wasn’t even half way there. Out of my price range but it may not be for others. Thanks for sharing.

  This is a beautiful tiny but is it real? The exterior pictures don’t match. The door is in two different places and the roof-lines are different as well as the paint job.

    It’s real, look more carefully… Like that there’s 2 doors and not 1… Note which side the 5th wheel/Gooseneck is facing in each photo for orientation as photos pan around from one side to the other…
