  • 🚚🏠💨 Welcome to episode 17 of Today's Tiny House Parking Spot... we made it out of our super tight LA parking spot and made our way to Northern California. Talk about a beautiful drive! Even though we’ve been through CA multiple times with our tiny home on wheels, we never drove on this stretch road, in far north part of the state. We stayed in a field in Santa Rosa, where we visited dear tiny house couple friends, Andy & Hilarie. They have a fun whirlwind love story.💕 We also saw Jay Shafer, the godfather of the modern tiny house movement. He showed us his new micro tiny house on wheels-it costs under $5k! While in the area, we caught a tiny house advocate training workshop, part of a new series by the American Tiny House Association to help enable local legalize tiny efforts. Local is where change happens. ✊ Then we made our way past Weed, CA to the Rain Rock Casino. They offer free boondocking for RVers and truckers, up to 2 nights. And they have FREE WiFi!

    “why-reeka” I lived in Coffee Creek & Yreka was where we would go for Big shopping or Redding. We were 1/2 way to both. Wish we had a tiny house when we lived there. There are so many places to camp or park for weekend stays or to explore then move on all around the area.

    I love the fact that this time you showed us yourselves living in the tiny house. The beauty of having a tiny house or RV is that you can pull over and eat or just rest whenever you feel like it. But you scratched the heck out of your friends driveway. I’m guilty of doing the same. Haha. Love your videos. Can’t wait till next Thursday.

I was able to be on live with y’all for a quick work break...happy to catch a glimpse! Love all the work y’all do for the movement. Would love help getting it going more north. I live in NJ. Anyways.....I decided to splurge and ordered a few things from the Home apparel that I had asked y’all about before. I reached out to them and made sure they knew I found them because of you guys and then placed my order! Thanks for all y’all do! Can’t wait til the next episode is released.

      We're about 50', including the tongue-- from the front of truck to the back of our 20' trailer. No big trouble for us, but we've definitely learned much about knowing what parking spots, gas stations, etc. we can get in and out of, and how much room we need to maneuver around. There are many folks who travel trailers that much longer! For frequent tiny house travel, we recommend 20' or less for bumper pulls or up to 24' for gooseneck/fifth wheel tinies.

    It seems like many channels are pulling lots of old footage from before winter to make videos. For example, she was mentioning Bend as a good place to park for Christmas. So either this is quite old footage (and I wish I saw more channels using current footage even if less glamorous), or you plan to stay a long time in Bend? :)

    • @TinyHouseExpedition
      @TinyHouseExpedition  5 лет назад

      For many months we posted footage from the week before. Very challenging to keep up. We decided to slow down around the holidays, and changed our posting schedule from 2 videos/week to one, so that's why it's a month delayed. Shot in mid-December 2017. The plan was to stay in Bend for the winter. 👍👍

    • @TinyHouseExpedition
      @TinyHouseExpedition  5 лет назад +3

      U-Haul is the generous truck sponsor for our on-going documentary work. They lend us a truck and take care of Maine, and we put gas in it. It hauls our 10,000lbs house beautifully. We use it like a mobile shed. It stores bicycles, extra tools, paperwork, etc-only use a small-ish fraction of the space. U-Haul box trucks make a great DIY tow vehicle option for those who only want to move occasionally. In the future, we hope to buy a heavy duty pickup, which will double our gas mileage. Now only about 5.3 mpg. 👍✨

    What is the difference between a “tiny house” and park model?

    • @TinyHouseExpedition
      @TinyHouseExpedition  5 лет назад +1

      Good question! There's definitely cross-over between tiny houses and park models in size, exterior look, and interior layouts, in some cases. Quality tiny houses on wheels are built with techniques and materials like a traditional house. Most park models are much closer to traditional RVs in material quality (like plastic interior walls), but are more substantial in structure and insulation than an RV.

    • @ManufacturedHousingExpert
      @ManufacturedHousingExpert 5 лет назад

      I don't mean to be rude, but there is some inaccuracies in your reply. I've been selling Manufactured Homes and Park Models for almost 15 years. I've never seen plastic interior walls. Sometimes there's wood side paneling on the intro level models. Otherwise everything I've sold has been drywall interiors. There really isn't a difference other than "Tiny House" being a modern name. One of my companies will actually have a "Tiny Home", really called a Park Model at the Orange County Fair Grounds. This model is going to be something people haven't seen anywhere else.
