That’s just weird, that this Tiny Home that’s morphing towards a regular ol’ manufactured home, you call “a real home”….as though the actual Tiny Homes weren’t real homes. Believe me, they’re real. I’m seeing more and more builders jumping on the TH bandwagon, but building behemoths. Not the same. They’ve lost one of the main reasons why TH have their reason d’etre: To live with a light footprint on the land; simple, reduce reuse -recycle- no dishwasher-no huge appliances, etc. I’m sure I’ll get flamed or crabbed at, but it’s true.
I don’t see it as losing the reason. Rather I see it as filling a niche. Some people just cannot wrap their minds around the concept of living in a 150 or 200 sq. ft. home. So they are looking for a 300 or 400 or 500 sq. ft. home. You have to admit that is a far cry from the behemoths most people live in. I currently own a 2,450 sq. ft. home. It served us well as we raised our 7 children. But they are gone and I’m looking to downsize. I personally could live in a tiny home but my wife wants to stay in our current home. We are working on a compromise. So, what do you think? Should I put my foot down and ignore her wishes??? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
What you are seeing here, is a bit of a compromise.
Many people wish to live in a smaller way, without sacrificing comfort.
Seeing many tiny houses at $100,000+, Park Models may be the way to go.
12 ft wide vs 8 ft wide makes a huge difference in feeling spacious.
Many times, Park Models also come in at 1/2 the cost of a tiny.
Professional insulation, design, & features for less.
400 sq ft may not be quite as tiny as 200 sq ft, but it is 1/3 the size of many modern trailers & homes on the market.
With prices of $50k that include appliances & furniture, or in some cases even as low as $35k just depending on what you are wanting in a model…
Park Model homes are at a much better price point.
Full size appliances & furniture make them a good home that’s cheap to heat & cool.
Sure a tiny is awesome, but a Park Model may be more livable over an extended period of time. Especially with 1st floor master bedrooms & models with double loft arrangements for extra company or game rooms.
Tiny house movement is here to stay.
Meanwhile, Park Models offer more room for 1/2 the cost.
What’s there to lose?

I agree! Was just about to comment the same….tiny house IS a real house
