Our tiny house just barely fits in our new garage, but it fits. That’s the primary reason I bought a Compact Jr. — a Casita or Burro or Scamp would not have a chance of making it through this small garage door opening.
There have been two big rainstorms in SoCal this winter and the trailer has showed no signs of leaking. Now, under a roof for the first time since I’ve owned it, I will finally have some indoor space to work on the renovations.
Michael thinks it’s silly to be writing about living in a tiny trailer when we’ve moved in to a small house. But living smaller (700 square feet) and living tiny (50 square feet) are still within the realm of topics to discuss here, in my opinion, so I’ll be updating you on both projects!
Right now we are focusing on getting our house ready for holiday guests…
***Update March 2010: we bought a house***

Just want to say – please keep writing. My wife and I currently live in a huge house, with teen – something like ~2400 sqft .. and we’re looking forward to a time in the future when we can downsize. Your blog feeds these ideas in us. Thanks!
Great, I’m glad you enjoy reading this! And thank you for writing in!
I have one of these. Mine’s a 1971 according to the DMV. I got it in July just three scant weeks before my daughters and I took it on a 10-week, 9,611-mile trip through 17 western U.S. states. You can see pix Here: http://tinyurl.com/7cu366. And you can read all about the trip on our blog (jenpb.blogspot.com).
I really like the trailer. It needed quite a bit of work when we got it, but nothing as in-depth as a new roof. Besides fixing the propane (which I’m still fairly certain has a leak), all that’s left is cosmetic, really, and upgrades (like the LED lights I installed this month).
Best of luck with yours! Maybe we’ll spot you on the road sometime.

So. Adorable. I still can’t get over it. I have to break down and see how much life is left in my truck – to see if any pulling is realistic or if I have to go another route. Fingers crossed. Can fingers be dubious? Hmmm.
