The Hardest Part of Building a Tiny Home on Wheels

Building your own tiny house can seem like an easy thing to do, and the Internet is full of instructional videos that may make it look simple. However, there are still plenty of challenges to be met when putting together your tiny home on wheels. This article discusses what some builders have found to be the hardest parts of building their own tiny homes. Whether you’re planning on building a tiny home or just want to know what it takes to build one, this information could help you save money and time down the line.

Finding land

If you want to live in a tiny house on wheels, you need to find the right land. Tiny home builders generally recommend at least two acres so that there is enough room for your home and outdoor space. But if you can’t get that much land, make sure to find an area where your tiny house is allowed. Some communities allow them as long as they are under 500 square feet or so, but other areas have stricter rules about size and number of homes per acre. There are also some co-ops with communal living spaces for people who want to rent out the land around their tiny house.

Getting Permission

Sometimes, the hardest part is the process to obtain permission. For example, if you are planning to put your tiny home on wheels in someone’s backyard, it can be difficult to get them on board. They may want you to sign a lease or an agreement that gives them some control over what you’re doing.

Keeping warm

One of the hardest parts about building a tiny home on wheels is keeping warm. There are many options for this, but one that is inexpensive and easy to install is an electric fireplace. You can set it to turn off automatically after one hour, or use the timer function so you never have to worry about forgetting to turn it off. 

Even if you just have short evenings in your tiny house during summer months, installing an electric fireplace will keep you cozy while not making your power bill any higher than it needs to be.

Protecting your home

If you’re considering building your own tiny home, one of the hardest parts will be protecting it. You’ll need to get an insurance policy as soon as possible. Once that’s in place, you should also consider investing in cameras and alarms. These will not only protect your home from intruders, but they’ll also help keep your belongings safe and sound inside your tiny house on wheels.

Clean and Organized

I am in the process of building my own tiny home, and I can tell you that this is not for the faint-hearted. It is hard work – physically, mentally, and emotionally. The hardest part for me has been trying to find tiny house builders who are willing to take on clients with disabilities. If you are lucky enough to find someone who doesn’t discriminate against those with disabilities or other barriers to employment, it is a good idea to interview them first before getting started.

Finances & Money

Finances and money are the hardest part. The cost to build one can vary depending on your location, the size of your house, and the materials you choose. Tiny homes builders in Los Angeles charge $5000-$7500 for their homes while those in Portland may charge $6000-$8000 or more. You will also need to factor in property taxes and other expenses when determining how much you’ll need to save up before starting.
