It’s widely claimed that traveling with a tiny house is an inspiring movement that many people are willing to give up a lot of their possessions and space just for living a simpler and smaller life. I’ve been following this trend for a couple of years, and now I’m completely obsessed with it. I mean love it.
Today, I’m over here to tell you the story of my life. In fact, my tiny life. If you’re free at the moment, why don’t you spend some time with me and listen to my own story?
What Does Traveling with a Tiny House Like?
A few years ago, I lived in New York. Here there’re a lot of rules, stresses, and bills. A city living is also very expensive. Lands are expensive. Building a small house here can cost you a ton of money. But, money is not the reason that makes me decide to move to a tiny house. Freedom is what I desire!
Even though there’s an issue called “lack of money” involved, it’s not a big problem for me. That’s because I’m a programmer and a single 30-year-old man. My job luckily doesn’t require an office to go and back. A laptop with a strong Internet connection is all I need. And yes, I work on the way I travel. I also try to limit the working hours, so I can travel more and see more. Traveling is my main focus, and my work is just like a mean of paying it.
I’m a big fan of skiing. That’s why I parked my house near to a major ski area in Vermont. A great experience, which I can quiet the house down to leave in an hour, is draining the water system. This makes leaving the house behind in the winter to travel is straightforward. I have nothing to worry about blocked water pipes or any kind of breakdown caused to the house when leaving.
I went to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It took me around 15 hours of driving from here. So, this moving is genuinely not too bad which I broke up more than two days.
I also traveled to Portland, Oregon a few times. It’s where my sibling lives. I’m quite close with my family even though they all live in several places in the country. This creates a ton of visits that I wouldn’t have the capacity to stop off before.
This week, I plan to travel to Cape Cod to visit my family. Afterward, I took another trip to Newport for a folk festival. If I still live in New York, I bet I will never have the chance to take these amazing journeys.
Tips for Tiny House Travelers
Here are some tips from Tumbleweed Tiny Houses:
Knowing your House’s Weight
On the road with your little home, you probably have to go through some intense landscape. So, it’s critical that you should be aware of the towing limit and maximal tongue of your truck. Before buying or after building, make a measurement to figure out how your tiny house heavy. You’ll need a truck scale, and the method is very simple. First, you measure both truck and trailer together, then measure the truck alone, and the weight of the tiny house will be the difference of the subtraction. For your safe
