What’s Inside?

.
Jay’s designs are rooted in necessity. His inspiration in building small was to maintain a serene lifestyle rather than having a place to spend the rest of one’s life maintaining. Inside of most Tumbleweed Tiny Homes you will find a simple main living space, a bedroom, small bathroom, kitchen and built-in storage.

Basic Questions About the Interior

What is the setup for electricity?
It’s easy — all of our houses on wheels are wired for electricity and ready to be plugged in through a plug on the outside. It’s up to you to determine the source of that electricity. You could power the house using a standard AC plug-in, or even better, via a solar electric system with an inverter.

How does the plumbing work?
All of our houses on wheels are plumbed to be connected to public water and sewer unless otherwise specified. Depending on your specific needs, we could include a standard, compost, or RV-type toilet. We recommend that you consult with a green building professional to help with green alternatives such as gray water systems, water catches, etc.

What appliances are included?
Most of our houses on wheels include a two-burner stove, an under-counter refrigerator, a bar sink, an RV on demand hot water heater, and a propane boat heater. We can certainly work with you if you have specific needs for built-in appliances.

What about heating and cooling?
Tumbleweed Tiny Houses are very well insulated, easy to heat and cool, and meet the State of California’s strict residential energy efficiency standards. Jay typically spent less than $170 (total) on propane to heat his tiny house during the brutal winters in Iowa. In Olympia, Washington, Dee spends an average of $5/month on propane for heating her tiny home.
