Verry happy with the Nomad David Levesque and his team did a great job at building mine. Was ready way before its delivery time. So pick it up my self at the factory and hauled it all the way home in Gracefield Qc. Been living in it full time now for 6 weeks. Very comfortable and has the cosy home feeling. Heating and ventilation system is tops. We had -20c. Temperature always stayed dry inside and 0 fog in the windows. Thanks Minimalist for putting this nice product together for me. 👍👍
Brilliant addition for those who are looking for a mobile friendly trailer home, you can live in full time "off-grid". BTW - can this unit be modified to include a wood burning stove?? That would be the cherry on top! lol
I listen to a couple podcasts about self-hosting, and it'd be cool if your solar management system could interface with Home Assistant. That way, you could control a lot of aspects of the house (in general), but especially tell it to do things like briefly cutting power to the A/C or heat while the microwave runs. Or, if the battery's at a certain level, to prioritize the grid while the battery charges. It could even take the weather into account. There's a vibrant community of people who use Home Assistant in their tiny homes/RVs to manage power consumption, heating & cooling, lighting, etc. The possibilities are endless!
I’m thrilled that Minimaliste has branched out into upgraded ‘travel trailers’. As per usual it’s stylish with brilliant design elements. Where’s Phil, though?
To me this is almost perfect! It's very well designed. Love how compact, practical and beautiful it is ♥️. If I were the one to purchase it, I'd like to change a few things: 1️⃣ extend the roof to cover the entire deck so that the deck can be used as patio in all weather. Hopefully there will be removable mosquito mesh for the entire deck. 2️⃣ change the bedroom so that it is a living room/ office at day time and a bedroom at night. The double bed can be converted to a sofa. The sliding barn door will have a TV mount (hopefully strong enough for a 43" led tv), and there will be a tv plug above the door rail. There will be two long narrow folding tables attached to left and right side walls below the windows for laptop or eating (so that each person can have his/her own desk area). They can be folded down to give room to the bed at night. There will be some hooks to tie movable chairs during transport. 3️⃣The current dinette/bed will be converted to closets as an option. 4️⃣ All cabinets have no space left below the roof so there wont be dusk that is hard to clean. All top racks changed to cabinets as an option. 5️⃣A folding bench will be put in between the door and sink. Shoes and boots can be placed underneath. It can be folded down to give room for cot. 6️⃣There will be some hooks to tie movable furniture such as folding chairs and tables for the deck. 7️⃣ Some strong hooks placed vertically next to door frame for backpacks.
Amazing design, top quality product. I would like to see more safety features like a different lock for the sliding doors, safe box, etc. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely love this design and features, including ability to be mostly off grid for long periods of time. The only downside is the dinette table is a wobbly design. IMHO, a Lagun table would work a lot better (more solid, manouverable into different positions, etc)
If the washer dryer combo unit is a heatpump and not a condensing unit you could probably lower the impact on the solar by a lot! And no ducting! Just a drain line for the water.
Can we install a tesla Powerwall? It would be neat to have a dedicated space for that. And with electric trucks we could have the advantage of bidirectional charging and have more power for the unit if we want.
If possible, it would be nice to put fitted boards that can be placed on top of the sink to extend counterspace in the kitchen when the sink is not in use. That would help a lot of meal prepping and cooking in a tiny house.
This mindset of tiny houses seems to be catching on. A new trend is the "minimalist lifestyle." Living by bare bones. A way to not only cut many expenses but also to save money which will grow wealth. But is this good for you? As I told my own subscribers, I contend that instead of having an existence of "minimalism," living in a shack and a sleeping bag, you should adopt the mindset instead. In other words, you don't have to deprive yourself and suffer to have the minimalist mindset which will give you money to invest. The minimalist mindset person will buy only what he needs. He won't go in the winter without a coat but will by the cheapest one that does the job--not the designer label. He won't buy a 50K car when he makes 80K a year. He'll buy the 15K Honda Civic used one and save money on a lesser car payment, insurance and gas. He doesn't go to TGI Friday's every week--he goes once a month and grills at home the other three weeks. He brings his coffee from home and doesn't spend 4 bucks twice a day at Starbucks down the street from his office. See the point? You don't have to live like a monk. The minimalist mindset just cuts down on the unnecessary. If you do this you will find that not only do financial problems disappear but you will grow a ton of assets on the side. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles
Could you make it a 5th wheel with the bedroom up a few steps? Could you also make the dining area smaller to allow space for a small couch? I love the quality and 4-Canadian season aspect as I'm interested in full time living north of your area. Great video!
HOORAH ! It's done I met JP today had a great tour of the Nomad . I'm in signed my contract tonight. Delivery day will be first week of May. Exited had a great day. Great unit well built. Thanks! JP.
@@veganfromvenus Hi! Vegan. Doing well. I've been living full time in it for 5 months loving it. Working hard to do all my other chores on my property. The house will be all set up by the end of August or early September. Still waiting for the well to finish the house installation.
Yeah I’ve heard RV dealerships recommend to empty tanks while traveling. Because if you have to turn or hit the breaks. Or hit the breaks suddenly? Because the water moving around and swishing back in forth in the tanks becomes dangerous and can flip your tiny house or RV? So yeah? I’ve never driven an RV but it makes sense? 😁
Hi Chris! Thanks for your feedback. We might come up with a slightly bigger version in 2022. We like to keep the GVWR as low as possible to preserve the real mobility aspect. Well take note for the bedroom storage 👌🏻
I like that the patio is designed in a way where there is enough space for someone that is very short to set up a ladder safely. As someone who is barely 5ft, reaching the areas that need to be pulled and connected is going to require some help.
very nice, love a double sink, and great bed room, good only two windows, i don't like windows above the bed so bears cant reach in and get my head. . and nice big window in the bath room.
Starting price is 86k. Wonder how much with the full solar package+lithium batteries, mini split etc. Being able to go off the grid for days on end is a great thing.

Great travel trailer! Opens lot of possibilities. One we would like is a fold-away table top in two or more locations around the (converted from dinette) lounge area. We would most likely keep the lounge in place and rarely convert back to a dinette. However we still need flat surfaces for eating and working. Other items: Larger TV mounted in a lower location so it is more eye-level and not a "looking up" level. (You mentioned a certain type of TV that withstands the rigors of road vibration. Can that be an OLED model, say 55-inchs?) Solar Panel "trays" that slide out to provide a bigger solar array and shelter from the sun. Last but not least, we want to use this during 6 winter months, in southern Baja where the winds can be ferocious and the sun, very intense, especially if we leave it parked over the summer months. Can your steel siding withstand these elements? is this rated for Hurricane winds?
Your design suffers… What changed? For the price, this is NOT the usual Minimaliste Design. What happened to your designer? I love all of your older designs but this one looks really cheaply made, sorry. Whatever happened to Designs like the Sakura, etc? I really strongly dislike this design.
Love this model. This is the first time I've come to realize that you do not supply the mini-split. Most if not all other tiny house builders supply the mini split.
Hi! It used to be included but we decided to leave it optional since if you look on other builder’s technical sheet, it is rarely included in the base price. We install it in 99% of our projects.
I asked earlier about a bedroom downstairs in a Nomad, but I got that abswer by watching this video!!👍 So all I need to know is, can you instal a bada', and the price????
I would use it as my house. If I could change a couple of things, it would be a place to mount a TV in the bedroom and add a couch to sit down beside the dinette.

That PATIO is Awesome!!!
Having a projector in the bedroom, a small rooftop deck, and a fun way to jazz up the wall that has the door to the bathroom would be great additions!
I do have a projector and a roll up screen in my Nomad's bedroom and it's great .
I don’t need a TV but do want a small wood stove in case of emergency
My thought exactly
Excellent videos in English and French! Thank you
I absolutely love this wondering about a small loft area ?
I think the roof on this one is too low, and making the roof higher may make it less stable to tow. Possibly a different design could have one?
Congratulations on creating a great new tiny house.
Absolutely love this design and features, including ability to be mostly off grid for long periods of time. The only downside is the dinette table is a wobbly design. IMHO, a Lagun table would work a lot better (more solid, manouverable into different positions, etc)
Would like to see a linen cabinet above the toilet.
If the washer dryer combo unit is a heatpump and not a condensing unit you could probably lower the impact on the solar by a lot! And no ducting! Just a drain line for the water.
but itll take longer to dry still the same energy consumption
A thumbs for the music alone!!!
Can we install a tesla Powerwall? It would be neat to have a dedicated space for that.
And with electric trucks we could have the advantage of bidirectional charging and have more power for the unit if we want.
I'm sure it's possible, and it could be installed on the exterior over the hitch given precautions were taken to make the unit theft resistant.
Very impressive.
Love it❣️❣️❣️
Very nice 😍 👍🙏
How are your RVs framed out?
Love the awkward mashed up French-US English accent 😁
French-US??
They're in Québec, CA and not the states... So it's French-CA...
Very nice
To add to my previous comment, change the dinette to allow two adults to sleep there comfortably besides two kids.
I tried so hard to win it on monopoly coast to coast, to bad you guys could only give one away.
If possible, it would be nice to put fitted boards that can be placed on top of the sink to extend counterspace in the kitchen when the sink is not in use.
That would help a lot of meal prepping and cooking in a tiny house.
They're a custom builder, so yes...
Hi! There’s a folding desk option at the end of the counter, but great idea for the sink wood cover👌🏻
Would dual purpose the bed room as a living room with a Murphy bed

@@jean-claudechiasson8338 sounds really great.. 👏
Looking good, looking good!! Maybe some extra under house storage or a tongue box? The systems are really well integrated! 👌💎👌
You folks really added the spacing saving things from RV's into the tiny homes. Congrats!!
Love it. Only thing I’d add would be a projector in the bedroom and a surround sound system.
You ask you get. They are setting mine up with a screen and projector.
Sweeeet. Great layout and the usual gorgeous minimalist design.
More storage in the bedroom? I get the reason to empty the tanks before departing. Bigger axles and stronger tires? Maybe a 3rd axle?

I wonder if they would do an even smaller version of this. Like the bedroom is gone with a Murphy bed / couch instead.
If there's either enough interest or someone commissions them to do one, as they are custom builder...
As always, great product and awesome presentation 😎

Loving it. I'm putting my order in Monday to get mine ready for spring . 😎

What is a bada?
Best literal tour ever!
There's no living room.
I’d get rid of the dinette and have a LR set up
What is an lr setup?
I would use it as my house. If I could change a couple of things, it would be a place to mount a TV in the bedroom and add a couch to sit down beside the dinette.
how do you connect the nomad to existing sewer?
great as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s beautiful
