Tiny house vs a Camper: which would you live in if you had to choose between the two?

[Uptowngirl88]

I also seen some mini van homes 🤣. They're so dope. I'm considering these I think it would be awesome for travel and overall living. You find your own lot.

@aWes0MeNeSs brought up a good point. With the camper you have to do the sewage🤮🤮

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I'd really prefer neither, as I love having plenty of space, as well as the separation of rooms in my house (I feel like I'm the only one these days who doesn't like an open concept layout). However, the tiny home in these photos looks a lot roomier than others I've seen, so if I really had to choose, I'd probably go with it. Even with it just being me, I feel like I'd go nuts in a camper or really cramped tiny house. I also have a lot of stuff, which would never fit in either of those places. 🤣

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Oh, and another reason I'd never want to deal with a camper is to empty out the sewage compartment or whatever it's called. 🤮

[Uptowngirl88]

Omg I forgot about the sewage.🤮 that is so gross.

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Yes, I remember people I knew with campers when I was a kid having to do that! 🤮

[ohshee]

I used to have a badass motor home that I tricked out is a lot of fun but you have to remember soon our national resource gasoline it's going to be obsolete and only available to companies that use it to produce products so I'm going to say I want a foundation some place that I know for sure that I can always sleep and eat and make love lol.
Even with an electric motor home solar power you still have wear and tear on it that if you could have both LOL why not because I love camping I love the outdoors I'd much rather be outdoors and indoors

[AndrésC64]

Well, they are comfortable in price. You can get an RV for about the same cost as a tiny home. Plus you'd be able to just drive wherever you wanted to go. On the downside, you have to find a place to stay oh, but there are lots of parks that you could use.

[AndrésC64]

Thanks for MHO!

[Aerissa_Jade]

I choose camper because I already have a RV trailer I lived in for half of last year. Plus cities have restricted Tiny houses a lot, harder to find a place for them.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Update, sewage was never an issue for me. Stay in a campground with full hookup's, cheaper than rent or your mortgage. For me personally, I could go 7 days without needing to refill water or dump black/grew water.

[Uptowngirl88]

Do u have to dump it yourself?

[Aerissa_Jade]

Yeah, it is pretty easy. Using a dump station or if at a camp ground, once all setup, takes 10 seconds to pull the things out to dump. The setup when moving takes more time, like 30 to 60 minutes each time I move to a new location.

[Uptowngirl88]

🤮🤮 I can't do that🤣🤣

[Aerissa_Jade]

Around here cities are making it so tiny houses can't be around, unless you own the property. Most of them have wheels though and can be moved that I've seen.

The learning curve for RV's isn't too bad, my dad helped me a lot but once you got it down its pretty easy.

Last year I lived mobile and worked remote, live all the way from Montana down to Arizona and in between. Setup camp for a couple of weeks somewhere, nice to get off work and go see sights and stuff.

[Uptowngirl88]

My families poop stinks. Mine doesn't tho

[Aerissa_Jade]

heh, you buy these little chemical packets that make it so nothing smells at all. Throw in the tank, no smell at all.

[Uptowngirl88]

Ok maybe I watch too much shameless 🤣 I don't know if you watched when Sammi emptied the sewage

[Aerissa_Jade]

No I haven't watched that, does it like explode at her or something?

[Uptowngirl88]

Yes🤣🤣💀

[Aerissa_Jade]

Thanks for MHO

Camper, I go to the coast for a week every year in what they term as a prestige caravan, I'd definitely live in one given they cost £75-90k and a house would be 250k and a lot more for the looks to match

[NathanDavis]

I'd prefer a smaller house and to have more space... a camper is way too close to my head, and I've never liked the sensation of that... lol

[Uptowngirl88]

The bed in the camper got me. I can imagine popping up in the middle of the night to pee and bumping my head

[NathanDavis]

the entrance door of that camper must be 70 inches standard, and I am 73 inches tall... that would bother me every time, having to dodge because of height, lol

[AviatorTom]

Each has similar insides, all the things needed to live comfortably. I'd choose the camper. If I get tired of the location, it's easier to move.

[DaveJord]

I did the camper myself 2 years... mini house would retain value better and lack full sized stove got old.

[nachosaresexy]

I'd sell meth out of my camper and save up the money to buy, like, fourteen tiny houses at various pickup/dropoff locations.

[SaoirseS]

I live in tornado alley, so definitely a tiny house given the choices.

[Uptowngirl88]

I forgot about weather💀💀

[douride2]

I'm sure the tiny house would be a warmer choice this time of year. Mind you with a camper I could hook onto my truck & go south for the winter.

[saffoler]

Camper. If you're going to go small might as well get the advantage of mobility.

[driven159]

had a rv was for to just say let's go there and see what it's like

[moonpie89]

I like both. Voting for tiny house

[Uptowngirl88]

I like both too. I like the fact I can drive the camper though

[Pink2000]

I really like the tiny house

[Twalli]

I can travel with my house if it's a camper

[Uptowngirl88]

That's what I like about the camper.

[Uptowngirl88]

You can travel in the convenience of your own home literally

[Twalli]

I know of a retired couple that sold their house and travel around the US in a RV with a small car they tow.

[Uptowngirl88]

So they live out of their RV? I'm curious how much their gas and electrical is?

[Twalli]

Probably pretty high, but it saves money in the long run. The price for my family driving down to Disney, camping at Fort Wilderness, and driving home is the price for a round trip ticket down there. Then people have to pay for lodging and food.

[Twalli]

Of course you have to dump the sewage from the camper. Everyone who has one fthsg doesn't live in one area for long periods of time probably has to. Some sites have dumping as part of them and then you can just hook it up that way, but otherwise you have to dump. It's not really that bad.

[Uptowngirl88]

My families poop stinks. Mine doesn't tho.

[Twalli]

It's not like you sniff it or it sprays everywhere.

[Twalli]

Also. your poop stinks. A GI doctor said this about shit "everyone's shit smells the same". Considering th asd t dealing with shit was her daily job, J trust her more tg as n you.

[Uptowngirl88]

Mine smells like roses

[Twalli]

Unless everyone's does, you're deluded

[Uptowngirl88]

🤣💀

[Wise4myage]

Tiny house on my own property.

[Juliette1994]

Tiny house I need a real shower.

[msc545]

I will take one of each...

[krin_m]

Tiny house, with a yard of course!
