Would you choose to live in a Tiny House?

@Musicman the shocks on those are horrible from my experience. I heard the brand journey was nice for RVs

@Musicman Wow...that's is definitely travelling with style. True, perhaps some issue can be found for elderly people who have mobility problems. I would love to travel in one though, but I would leave the driving to another, I would be petrified to drive it myself...I see myself making new openings on it as I enter a tunnel or parking it 🤭

@Musicman A few years ago, relatives in Houston lost their spacious, 4 bedroom ranch style home to flooding and were fortunate to secure an apartment for the two years while recovering from the hurricane.

Interesting to compare the pros and cons as they adjusted to circumstances. A 1-bedroom -1.5 bath apartment seemed to have satisfied their need for personal space, but it was a huge apartment of about 1,000+ square feet, with lots of elbow room everywhere. But it was a 10+ floor apartment building, and personal space ended at the front door. Underground parking and roof top swimming pool. So it was a bit like living in a luxury hotel, where there is no private outdoor space.

@WowwGirl The big Motorhomes are diesel powered and run on a full air suspension so the ride is very nice.

@LilMissAnonyMOUSE Everyone says that in the beginning. Even I did. After you spend a little time behind the wheel it just becomes second nature. On a good note while I am driving my wife has full access to the bathroom and the kitchen. 🙂

@Heartlander Wow! That is a huge difference going from a 4 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment. How did they like it? Did they sell the house and stay in the apartment?

@Musicman It was a high end rental. High ceilings, spacious rooms, parking in the basement, pool in a rooftop garden. Super kitchen. Also a nice balcony. They were like on the 5th or 6th floor. We visited a couple of times, and while the inside space was comparable, well done with good elbow room, the big difference was the feeling of confinement .... the lack of private outdoor space. Their ranch home was on an acre lot, also had a pool and trees that created great private outdoor space where the extended family gathered frequently, that was all lacking with the apartment. While the roof garden pool was nice, it was shared with the other hundred + other apartment occupants.

@Heartlander I understand. I definitely prefer our single family home. We have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2 car garage and our own private in ground pool. We also own the spare lot on each side of us and the two directly behind us. 🙂

@Musicman A cousin had a similar motor home except it was more towable with sides that expanded once parked. And a power pickup to tow it and detach once parked. They had early retirement and spent their sixties fulfilling their plan to travel 49 states. They came through here a few times and shared refreshing glimpses of their wanderlust as they recounted their adventures.

@Heartlander Back in the 70's I had a Aunt and Uncle who did the same thing. They lived full time in their motorhome for 11 years. Ours has four slides that open when we are parked. So far our longest trips, we have done this twice, is seven weeks.
