Because you need to at least rent a car to move it around, but it's another way to reduce impact on the environment and reduce expenditures.

They don't have to move, mostly they are built as trailers because that's one way round the zoning laws. i want one of these, about 250-300 sq/ft.

Why not just use an ordinary trailer?

I've been interested in tiny houses for a while. Apparently it's catching on:

Current dream is to build a tumbleweed plan on a trailer while living in our current home, pay for it as we build, and at some point after it's completed, sell the house, buy land with the profit and move into a mortgage free existence.

Ha, Ha. That's a fancy spin to put on a non functioning web site.

Man i would buy one! And I bet they dont way that much either. Maybe you could tow it behind a special utility bike? What about a three person tandem or make some kinda harness so you can have a row of bikes towing it like a sled of dogs! That would be great since you would only have to move it every few years!

Perhaps a big dummy / house combination?
