Yeah, great video folks. My only suggestion is to have quick connects for all water usage. It's a bit expensive but lasts a lifetime. Cheers on the video! ~ Mark
Excellent practical instructions! LOVE when videos are of this caliber and quality - clear, to-the-point and based on practical demonstrable examples. You folks are golden!
Hmm 5 years later I'm not sure you will see this message, but in the event you do, do you still have five in your family?? And did you really make the move to a tiny house?
Good job, glad to see a tiny house that can be towed all over! Only problem is kicking shoes off at end. Should take them off as you enter. We cannot wear shoes inside after having lived in Japan so long. Whew, that's nasty.
Thanks for the 411 on tiny living. Someone in the comments mentioned permanent basis parking for tiny houses. I myself would like to lnow that too. Keep up the Awesome (better than good) work.
Bravo, you two are doing a great job. I watched this vid twice in a row, LOL. It's a comfort to know that someone out there is not only documenting there journey but also making learning video's that aren't full of endless chatter.
Thank you for making this video. I'm an online entrepreneur and I'm hoping to travel a lot with a tiny home. This is really helpful. I'm so excited that in my 30s I'll be able to live the way I wanted to in my retirement.
Hello I wanted to know if you could share the dimensions of your Tiny House and the plans, at least what you can share, we are starting a project and we quite like the distribution of the spaces. Greetings from Chile.
Thanks for the video! You say you have a "pressure regulator and valve" at the end of the hose for more control...I understand the convenience of a shut off valve at the end of the hose...why the pressure regulator?
Thank you very much for all the work you put into your TH-cam Channel and all of your amazing videos! I really loved watching this one as it is so informative and doesn't just focus on the design of a TinyHouse like most other videos do. I totally cracked up at step 8: "...we then store all the random items in the BASEMENT of our TinyHouse..." - loved the humor here! ♥ Great work, thank you so much!
What kind of cars do you recommend buying for towing a tiny house? I plan on traveling so I'm wondering what kind of truck I should buy for towing a tiny house.
I'm so glad you made this video. I've been considering Tiny House living and had no idea how to do any of this. In fact, I didn't know that you could get a "brown water" portable tank. I hope you'll do more videos like this one (the often forgotten and not so glamorous side).
cnypilot Yes. Sorry, wrong terminology. Seeing how easy and simple it is certainly makes the idea of living in a Tiny House VERY tempting. Again, Thank you.
Great video and like your house. Can you please tell us more about what you are using to tow your house with and how well your house is doing as you have towed it thousands of miles. Any problems with the house itself? Cracking or things coming lose not working correctly, like cabinet doors or heat or A/C. Any things you have come across while traveling? Road conditions on and off ramps parking and fueling truck. And how fast do you drive while towing? Thank you very much 52 fordman
Well, we use a 2006 Ford F-250 6.0 diesel crewcab long bed FX4. We've had some issues with it (busted FICM and cracked coolant overflow tank, probably cracked by the guy who changed the FICM). Other than that it tows fine. We take it easy. We usually drive 50-60mph depending on road conditions and wind. The house shows virtually no signs of wear from the road, other than human error things. We did have a wood slab countertop crack but I think that's because of humidity/dryness and temperatures (the slab wasn't dry enough). We also had a broken weld on our trailer and had to have that fixed, all good now. Our heater is a sailboat wood stove so it doesn't care about movement. We don't have A/C. Our trailer is the standard tumbleweed trailer and it's pretty low. The tongue jack, and sometimes the scissor jacks scrape a little, or a lot. We've gone on many roads (18,000 miles) in a variety of conditions, nicely paved, badly paved, potholes, dips, bumps, gravel, sand, grass, off road. The house handles fine! We just drove back from the Arctic Circle on the Dalton highway. Look it up to see what our house can take :)
Hi, do you have any tips on keeping a tiny house lightweight as possible? Like types of materials you can use to build that are lighter than others? Also how much does your tiny house weigh? Sorry for the questions, love your videos!
To save on weight, you'd have to look at other building techniques and materials then typical house construction. Most tiny houses (ours included) use typical beefed up house construction because it's the easier, cheaper and most customizable option. But it ends up being heavy... Our house is 10,100lbs fully loaded.
I really liked this one. I have often wondered what the set up is like after traveling. I learned so much from this one. I have been enjoying your other videos showing tiny houses. Looking forward to more great content from you.
This was extremely helpful ^-^. But I have one question: how the grey water systems works? Where do you dump the water? Also how you manage the whole water systems when you are off grid?
Looks like your truck would benefit from some air bags. Around $250 on Amazon and no drilling install that makes it super easy. The only reason I bring this up cause your truck sinks a good 4 or 5 inches when the house is on it. I think the adjustable ball should be raised also. With the house connected it should be as close to front to back level as possible. A level trailer travels much better when level with the truck. Thanks for sharing.
Jerry Densmore Thanks for the tips. We've adjusted the weight distribution system so that the whole rig tows level. I think we're a little off but within the hitch's design limits. I'll take another look though.
SUCH a helpful video!!!! Can you tell us what brand and type of valve and pressure regulator you're using for the water coming in? I can't seem to find anything that looks like that. We're plumbing our tiny house next week, yay!
Tiny House Giant Journey I looked at home depot.com for the hose valve and just couldn't find one that looks like the grey and yellow one in the video.
I have noticed that you say on your website not to get the truck you have/had. What truck do you use now/still use today? And what truck would you recommend or those you have interviewed recommend? (Meaning truck specs not brand of course)
I did enjoy it! Thanks so much for sharing this. Seems like you really have the inside streamlined well to not need much set up/tear down. You wouldn't have to unhook everything inside immediately, right?
I live in Wisconsin and am interested in building a tiny house. But the issue I came across is where to put the grey water as it will freeze during the winter, please advise.
Brady Madison Well, we're not expert with freezing conditions as we travel south for winter and north for summer. But we do plan on staying in Denver through winter. Though not as cold as Wisconsin, still freezing. We'll have to see. There are many tiny house blogs out there that have figured out how to handle this particular issue though, as well as full time RVers. People have been living in freezing conditions with campers for a while. There should be lots of info online.
This video, like all of your videos was just fantastic!So helpful & informative. My husband and I decided we wanted to move into a Tiny house last year when we were preparing for our wedding. We are planning to start our build early Spring of 2016. We have watched every video on your page and are patiently waiting for more! :) THANK YOU!
+moneymagnetelizabeth 10,160lbs and we haven't had any issues towing. You just get used to it. You can find out much more here: tinyhousegiantjourney.com/tiny-house-faqs-statistics/
When I was with my mom and I was sitting in the passenger seat I saw this house on the highway I was like omg that's the same house from a youtube channel.
I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I can tell you that some of our siding and trimming has moved a little but from temperature and humidity, not road conditions.
+Tiny House Giant Journey That's good; I would have guessed that road vibrations would have loosened up some of the framing. I really like your videos!
We do phone hotspots mainly. I suggest just looking at RV forums and websites for that. RVers have been doing it for years and years now and have it all figured out :)
Where do you dispose your composting waste? I always see tiny house videos of people showing off their composting toilets, but they rarely ever talk about where they dump their waste.
We now have a tumbler in the bed of our truck, so it goes there until we settle somewhere or can give it to someone who can handle it. Otherwise, you can bag it in a biodegradable trash bag and throw it away

Yeah, great video folks. My only suggestion is to have quick connects for all water usage. It's a bit expensive but lasts a lifetime. Cheers on the video! ~ Mark
Your tiny house is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Great video!
спасибо ребят, очень нужный туториал, из мелочей все как известно и состоит)
very informative! Thanks so much!
Very informative! You make it look very easy.
I love the simplicity of your set up. Thank you for demonstrating it .
I feel relaxed the last hour watching these videos 😀
Thaás awsome, I would like to see a video about the composting toilet
Thanks for answering all my questions !!
This is so amazing!
Great tips, thanks.
Excellent practical instructions! LOVE when videos are of this caliber and quality - clear, to-the-point and based on practical demonstrable examples. You folks are golden!
This is helpful; we are planning on going tiny asap and are a family of 5, coming from a 3100 sq. ft home!
Hmm 5 years later I'm not sure you will see this message, but in the event you do, do you still have five in your family?? And did you really make the move to a tiny house?
Me too! I'm a single mother of 2 and I plan on doing this as well. I am leaving a 3 bed 2 bathroom town home.
Good job, glad to see a tiny house that can be towed all over! Only problem is kicking shoes off at end. Should take them off as you enter. We cannot wear shoes inside after having lived in Japan so long. Whew, that's nasty.
Thank you for sharing now I know what products to buy

excellent Ive always been interested in seeing how the tiny house is set up for travel and parking. Thanks for posting. :)
Great job on the video, very informative and helpful.
been looking for this one...
When are you going to put a video out on the Goal Zero Solar power? I am curious how it works and I am thinking about using this system.
Where can I get a tiny house just like the one you have? I love the layout and the features.
Hello I wanted to know if you could share the dimensions of your Tiny House and the plans, at least what you can share, we are starting a project and we quite like the distribution of the spaces. Greetings from Chile.

Nice, I did not think about putting catches on all of my drawers and cabinets. Thanks
We loved the production value and easy to understand process.

Nice vid! My question would be what happens in Winter time when temps really drop? How do you prevent water from freezing in the water hose??
What kind of cars do you recommend buying for towing a tiny house? I plan on traveling so I'm wondering what kind of truck I should buy for towing a tiny house.
Hey, beautiful house first of all! Thanks for the video, it shows the set-up in good detail and I thought the ending was very nice too.
Tiny house parking and setup was sooooo informative! So helpful! Thank you!
Very informative, compact, down to earth video. Great job!
+DTE Thank you!
Great to see what's required - I've never seen anyone else cover this topic before. Great stuff!
Harmony Rose Same here! Never seen this beore either.
Thank you! The video was a good insight, but I think the best part is the parts and materials list provided.
I'm so glad you made this video. I've been considering Tiny House living and had no idea how to do any of this. In fact, I didn't know that you could get a "brown water" portable tank. I hope you'll do more videos like this one (the often forgotten and not so glamorous side).
Steve Maness Grey water?
cnypilot Yes. Sorry, wrong terminology. Seeing how easy and simple it is certainly makes the idea of living in a Tiny House VERY tempting. Again, Thank you.
Steve Maness :-) I agree.
you should pump regular drinking water to water tank before handling grey water.
Great video and like your house. Can you please tell us more about what you are using to tow your house with and how well your house is doing as you have towed it thousands of miles.

This was extremely helpful ^-^. But I have one question: how the grey water systems works? Where do you dump the water? Also how you manage the whole water systems when you are off grid?
We have a video about grey water somewhere in there too :) but basically we use biodegradable products and usually dump it in sewer dumps.

5:09 anyone else hear a noise that goes 'boop'
Lawryn Lucid Haha, that's me saying "Boom" but cutting it in the middle... Messed up the edit, sorry!
Lawryn Lucid I only heard "Boo", and assumed it was a tiny haunted house!
Yeah
Lawryn Rose yes hahahhaa it made me laugh!
This is the best video ever. Ive wondered about all these things and no one's done a video on it that ive seen. Awesome thank you so much! :)
Very cool. Still like to know where I can buy a Tiny House in Ontario, Canada
and where can you park them.
Cheers.
Good setup. Also that hang board looks pretty new are you guys climbers?
Nice video! I like the side-to-side levellers, and never thought about using the breakaway pin like that.
What kind of hook ups would I need for a cold weather climate doing on-grid water hook up?
SUCH a helpful video!!!! Can you tell us what brand and type of valve and pressure regulator you're using for the water coming in? I can't seem to find anything that looks like that. We're plumbing our tiny house next week, yay!
Check out the description of the video. There is a link to the water inlet we use :)
Tiny House Giant Journey I looked at home depot.com for the hose valve and just couldn't find one that looks like the grey and yellow one in the video.
Good video, Where's Jenna?
How do you hook up the gray water to the sewage?
I have noticed that you say on your website not to get the truck you have/had. What truck do you use now/still use today? And what truck would you recommend or those you have interviewed recommend? (Meaning truck specs not brand of course)

"To prevent the house from leaving without our permission", best thing ever....lmao
Love your house. How did you make the curtains for the skylights?
House moving, ez pz in 30mins
What truck do you use to tow your tiny house?
+Kent Mathis 2006 ford f260 6.0L turbo diesel (avoid that engine if you can)
Thanks! Do you have any suggests?

This is much later of course, but if you happen to see this comment, can you provide an update??
how much does your tiny house weigh and its dimensions. Do you find it difficult driving on the road?
+moneymagnetelizabeth 10,160lbs and we haven't had any issues towing. You just get used to it. You can find out much more here: tinyhousegiantjourney.com/tiny-house-faqs-statistics/
thank you so much
How much did the house cost?
When I was with my mom and I was sitting in the passenger seat I saw this house on the highway I was like omg that's the same house from a youtube channel.
There's only one :)
Are your house construction joints opening up after all the highway miles?
I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I can tell you that some of our siding and trimming has moved a little but from temperature and humidity, not road conditions.
+Tiny House Giant Journey
That's good; I would have guessed that road vibrations would have loosened up some of the framing. I really like your videos!
Ah, thank you! Things like this are a big part of making the decision to go tiny. How long did it take you to perfect your set-up system?
+Maisi Mi After a few dozen times we had it pretty figured out and streamlined.
One question. Wifi?
We do phone hotspots mainly. I suggest just looking at RV forums and websites for that. RVers have been doing it for years and years now and have it all figured out :)
hey what truck is that? i know its ford but is it a 250 or 350?
+Garcia Weithers 250
"BUHHH" at 5:07 was super unexpected lol
5:07 AH!!

Tiny House Giant Journey Thank you for responding. Good to know.
Empresslockness I prefer a nice compost pile within pallets, but you do need your own property to do that. :)
Does anyone know this guy's name? He is my identical twin.
Where is the dog? She doesnt do anything,lol?
Haha. She just watches and barks at strangers
BUH
Sam Smith Oups! That's what we get for working late nights :P
That was a blooper hahahaha
Wtf was this? @5:08 😂😂😂
Boo 👻
beautiful truck
