If you’re into tiny houses but even 8′ x 30′ feels like it’d be too tight then you’ll probably like this 392 sq. ft. ESCAPE cabin. It’s a park model cabin!
It’s 28′ x 14′ so plenty of extra space compared to most tiny homes on wheels that meet the 8’6″ width standards which is mainly so you can tow your own house without any permits. The ESCAPE is still portable only you’d have to pay for professional help to move it which is costly so you wouldn’t want to move very often unless you really have to. So here it is. The Classic ESCAPE.

The Classic ESCAPE Park Model Cabin
For me, I’d only have this moved if I really had to. My plan would be to find the right plot of land and leave this there for as long as it can last with proper care/maintenance.
Here, let me show you inside:

Back in 2011, I showed you SignaTours teardrop campers, but did you know that they also build tiny houses? This is “Our Little Secret on St. George Island,” a tiny house vacation by the sea in Florida!
It’s 8′ x 24′ so approximately 192 square feet of space without including the sleeping loft.

The front porch accessories are all completely removable. They’re installed over the hitch so they also help conceal it so that it looks more permanent. Let me take you on in so you can see the rest of this tiny cottage on wheels below:

I’m excited to share one of Deek’s latest tiny house videos with you… It’s a 227 sq. ft. a modern industrial tiny home on wheels.
Derek “Deek” Diedricksen is the author of Humble Homes Simple Shacks, HGTV/DIY Network host/designer, and creator of RelaxShacks.com.
This micro house on wheels was designed and built by Yestermorrow Design School students in Waitsfield, Vermont.
It features a full kitchen, bathroom with a composting toilet, and lots of storage throughout.
Yestermorrow actually created a documentary you can watch right here based on the students who built this house from design to completion.

Gina had just finished spending 7 years serving overseas in Uganda, Darfur, and Central Africa.
And she wanted to continue doing so while coming back forth to the United States several times a year.
Gina needed a home so she can feel grounded while she was back in the United States.
Sure she could have rented a bedroom or maybe even stay with her parents while in the U.S.
But we all want a place of our own. So for her, a tiny house was the perfect idea.

LaMar Alexander of Simple Solar Homesteading has been a long-time advocate for off-grid living and affordable tiny house design. Over the years, he has inspired countless builders through his YouTube channel and his own practical cabin builds.
In this post, we’re taking a look back at some of the off-grid tiny house design concepts that have come from his community, as well as a look at his own 8×8 cabin design.

I thought you’d also enjoy this DIY tiny house project. It involves a really inventive man who went from 2000 sq. ft. to a 160 sq. ft. micro home.
The owner/builder has been living in it for more than 5 years now. The micro home is very energy efficient and was very inexpensive to build.
He built it with the help of his brother. They designed and built it all themselves using mostly reclaimed materials.

And by the way, the two vehicles you see above on the right have been converted into electric power.
This is one really interesting/inspiring guy… Not just a tiny house… But DIY electric cars, too.

If the name Vincent Kartheiser doesn’t ring a bell he’s a star actor in the TV series Mad Men.
And what’s interesting about him is that he chooses to live in a 580 sq. ft. tiny cabin in Hollywood with his fiancée.
It was remodeled to look “Japanese-industrial” as he calls it and has a few pretty unique space saving features.
For instance, instead of a murphy bed, his bed simply raises to the ceiling when it’s not being used.

When he wants privacy in the bedroom a large thick red curtain is available to enclose the space in. It’s stored in the built in wooden closet that you can see in the photo above to the left of the bed in the corner of the room. You can also see the railing on the ceiling for the curtain.

The couple that own this caboose micro guest house also own a 800 square foot small house that was originally built in 1902. Since it’s a two bedroom home, and the wife is an artist, they still needed more space for when they have guests over.
So they found this caboose on Craigslist. It’s 7’x10′ so about 70 square feet of space. Eventually they have plans to add a tiny bathroom (or a separate outhouse) along with proper plumbing for water and sewer. Now they’ve got themselves a micro guest house for when they have visitors It’s also a perfect little backyard getaway from the spouse (lol). So how would you use it if it were yours?

I thought you’d like to see this gypsy vardo wagon that’s available for sale right now.
If you’re interested in learning about the history of these historic travel trailers I recommend reading through this page.
This project began around 4 years ago.
It was discovered on eBay but was in need of some TLC because it had been left outside in the sun for about two years.
