This is a custom 8’x20′ Elm Tumbleweed Tiny House on Wheels for sale with loft dormers that was built in 2013 using Elm plans. Update: SOLD

Laura Loescher and her partner purchased this custom-built Tumbleweed earlier this year to temporarily use while designing and building two other tiny homes from scratch to perfectly meet their needs. So now, they no longer need this one!

While they had it they did a few renovations and upgrades but it is now ready to sell since they are getting ready for two new tiny homes- one to use a kitchen and bathroom and the other as a single, large, and open tiny home. Pretty cool, right? So if you’re interested in their old Tumbleweed tiny house, learn more about it below. Selling price is $45,000. (SOLD) Thank you!

Have you been thinking about the steps you need to take in order to start living a tiny life? If so, you’ve probably already been thinking about simplifying and smart-sizing your life.

Maybe you need that little nudge, that determined motivation, to get you started.

Or maybe you just need some help figuring out “where the hell do I start?” I know it can seem like a daunting task to downsize your belongings, bills, and lifestyle (I’ve done it myself!)

My good friend Mariah has a helpful, fun, and challenging step by step course called Tiny Transition and Downsizing, that will get you on the path to smart-sizing, simplified freedom in no time.

Tiny Transition Course Starts Soon!

What would you do to make your dreams reality? Are you willing to do the complete opposite of everybody else to build your dream lifestyle?

For the last year Vince has been living in his van in the sprawling city of Los Angeles. In his blog, Vince Van Go, he shares his true-life experiences while van dwelling in the city. When we first heard of Vince we were curious. So we asked him, “why did you start living out of a van? How has his life changed since doing it? And now that it’s been a year, what’s the rest of the plan look like? Have the benefits of living in a van been worth the challenges? And do you recommend this lifestyle to others who also want to pursue their dreams?” All of these questions, and more, are answered in the interview with Vince Van Go-Go below.

Do you love vintage travel trailers? Then you’ll definitely love the Sou’Wester Lodge because they have over 15 vintage travel trailers you can rent by the night, though they have many other attractions as well.

The Lodge also has rooms in its historic main house, a series of small cabins, a self-serve gift shop stocked with local foods, art, crafts and music, a sauna/steam room, and it hosts concerts and art events. All that, and a great location within walking distance of the beach in Seaview, Washington, a few hours from both Seattle and Portland, Oregon.

I’ve visited the Sou’Wester twice now, staying in three different travel trailers, and I wanted to make sure the tiny house community knew about this unique resource. For fans of small spaces, it’s a fantastic way to get design ideas and to see how a trailer feels and functions. The trailers have been lovingly and stylishly restored with special touches like locally made soap, champagne flutes or mason jars in the kitchens, and some even have record players and come stocked with records. Their biggest trailer, the African Queen, has two floors, four separate beds, and a full bathtub!

Each one is amazing in its own way. They are all truly vintage, and each trailer I’ve stayed in had its own set of quirks – but that’s a genuine, vintage trailer for you! It’s a great way to see what works and what doesn’t for your particular needs, especially if you’re considering buying or living in one.
