Our oldest son lives in a shed that was already on our property that we converted. We built a septic system with 55 gal barrels.. Use plastic and insulation on the floors to help with the cold.

After college, I bought a new 30ft trailer and lived one year in a nice RV park in central Texas. It was cheaper to pay the trailer bill plus the park fee than to continue to live in my apartment. So that decision was a no-brainer. Plus I wasn't sure where I was going to end up living. Two years later, I moved it up to the back of my parents property in northeastern Texas. My dad put in a service pole and a DIY septic system from a 55 gallon drum with two lateral lines. I lived there for three more years. Since my parents decided not to charge me rent, I let them have the trailer. My parents then moved it down to southern MS and lived in it for 7 years while they cleared their land and Dad built their one bedroom house. Now the trailer serves as a guest house. Here are some tips that worked for me when I lived in it: To conserve propane, use electricity to cook. Those 30lb tanks were hard for me to pick up when filled so this was important. I used a toaster oven, electric skillet, and a plug in style two burner stove. To this day I still use that skillet and stove from 15 years ago. I also used an electric blanket as well as a programmable space heater. That space heater was GREAT in the bathroom! It would come on 15-30 minutes before I needed to get ready for the day. That helped with the ambient temperature as well as the pipes but not the drains during freezing temperatures. Hot water and/or was the only thing that would unfreeze the drain. Putting insulation on my hose helped but there were times when it froze. That's when I sponge bathed from water I kept in jugs and heated as needed. When my parents moved it to their property, they put it under a built cover. That helps a lot as the sun deteriorates a RV quickly. The plastic components in the bathroom (tub, tub surround, sink, faucet, and toilet) all took a beating as there is a skylight in there. Most of them have been replaced. The rv has an entire back bathroom without a window so Dad put a shed behind it with an electric water heater, which broke, as well as a washer and dryer. He also installed a plug that could handle a Mr. Buddy electric heater. So no more propane is needed. An RV is cheaper upfront than a tiny house but will not stand up to daily living long term without a lot of repairs. The refrigerator and microwave went out and Dad replaced them with regular ones as the RV styles were too expensive and unnecessary as these appliances would not experience the earthquake movement that traveling causes. Good luck on your decision!

In 1995/1996, I lived in a 32ft 1954 Spartan manor trailer for a little over a year. It allowed me to financially get thru nursing school. It was hooked up to city water and sewer. We were fortunate to find a small reputable mobile home park, that allowed us to rent a spot. You can put heat tape on any exposed water supply line and that will prevent freezing. It had a propane heater, so it was always toasty warm. You can make your own composting toilet. KZfaq has lots of videos on tiny houses and ideas on what they have.

Check out Doug and Stacy off grid living. They use bucket with toliet seat with cedar shavings applied in layers. Works great!

Our family of 5 lived in a RV (42' fifth wheel) for 3 yrs and the last 6 months of that was during the winter in North Dakota. I think a tiny house would be a much better and longer lasting solution, and more affordable financially if they were to build it themselves. Things seem to fall apart very easily in a RV. For example, in our brand new RV, the shower stall cracked in several place because it was flimsy, etc. Heaters and water heater eliments broke. Insulation is very thin in a RV as well, even if it is all weather, so power bills are much higher. However if you were to find an affordable RV and retrofit it with foam insulation and fit it with more sturdy things, they would make it last longer. As far as staying warm in the winter, you would need to skirt the bottom of the RV/tiny house and run heaters underneath, this will help alot. When we came to ND for the first week, it was as cold as -24 without the wind factor. It was so cold we had ice on the inside walls and windows of the RV. In order to make things work for the winter, we had to do skirt the bottom plus cover our windows and slideouts with 2" insulation to keep in the heat. It was a dark box - no fun at all. We ran the propane heaters plus electric heaters, but it stayed warm for the most part. Luckily our lot rent covered electric, but I'm sure the bill would have been high if we were on our own system. That's why I think in the long run, unless you want your kids to move back in with you in the wintertime or if something breaks like a heater or hotwater heater, or shower, it is best to go the tiny house option. As far the toilet, we had an RV toilet hooked up to the sewer at the campground(s) but others do use composting toilet. There's a lot more information on that on the internet. As far as water, you will need a heated hose to keep the water from freezing. I hope that helps. Thanks, Jill McCoy from ND

There is an heated water hose you can get to keep your water from freezing. For the black & gray tanks, there are also a heated blanket that you stick to those tanks to keep them from freezing. It is possible to live in a RV year round. You can also hang 100 watt bulbs in the under storage areas with exposed water pipes. Composting toilet waste can be tossed in the garbage. There is also what they call Honey Wagons. They will come out and pump out the tanks with their truck. It can run $40 - $70 a trip. RV tanks don't hold a lot, so will teach them to conserve.

Check You tube the toilet is replaced by a 5 gallon can and a bit of saw dust with a little backing soda is added to bury your waste. what is in the can is buried about once every week or so. Urine is easier to put in a jug and disposed of. You can dispose of the bags in the garbage if you have garbage collection I would use extra strength garbage bags.

Composting toilet!! My composting toilet is easy and no smell (use sawdust for poo, and a urine diverter). Throw the composted poo in trash/ landfill. Humanure is safe for gardens after 2 years of composting.Don't need all season camper, just insulate/skirt it. I live in a 34 ft rv in my friends back yard. We had to run an electric pole with 30 amp hookup ($300). Gray water (shower and sink) water I use to water my gardens. No black tank cause I use composting toilet. Easy life and fun.

You need to go to Tiny house prepper. They live in an camper. Go check it out. He remolded an older camper and they like it.

We lived in an RV for 6 years. There are lots of different solutions to toilets. Never lived in a tiny house, but I can tell you from experience that RVs/campers are not built to withstand full time living and have constant repair issues. In my thinking a tiny house would be built better. Freezing pipes is an issue but can be dealt with pipe insulators and even electric heating coils. Composting toilets use sawdust or other organic material and the end product can be used as compost for gardening. Doesn't stink.

I commend you on being strong enough to push them out of the nest. It's really the best thing you could do for them even though I'm sure you want to make things as easy as possible for them. When I was in my 20's I moved out of my parents house on Long Island and in to a tiny 250 sq. Ft. efficiency apartment in Manhattan with a fold down Murphy bed. It was smaller than the closet I had in my parents home! It was outrageously expensive but it forced me to work my butt off and allowed me to develop a work ethic that really paid off.

For the kids wintering in an rv...you have to heat tape the pipes, spray foam insulate the tanks and also use extra reflectix for the insulation otherwise it will be a freezine experience

Good idea, build a skirt around the base. Gut the interior and ad insulation, floor walls and ceiling. Water tanks inside should be ok with propane heat. External tanks will freeze. Could use a bucket compost toilet. RV trailer would be much cheaper. Tiny house would be a great project, could never get finished.

kansas here. all season RV are also called 4 season. they do have rolling/mobile tanks that you csn use in lieu of the permanent tanks. roll and then dump into the sewer cleanout. encourages shorter showers if they have to tote the waste

A composting toilet would be a good investment. You would never have to deal with emptying the black water (sewage) any where.

We lived in a park model camper It was 40 ft long. We lived in a nice campground.They had a pool and activities and it was gated. We did get freezing weather but not much.We wrapped our pipes and did not have much of a problem. We loved it and hate now that we bought a house. Now are bills are stressing us. We bought a used park model,they do have a holding tank but you do have to dump it. We had a central heating system.Good luck on figuring it out.

You can purchase a composting toilet. Re: the frozen pipes. If you keep the heat on they should be O.K. We own an RV store in GA but don't really know what the CO weather would figure in. It's a great idea for the teenagers.

A Tiny house you can put a wood stove in to heat it. A lot of tiny houses use composting toilets.

You can come Here! I would.love to have you guys.

The best thing to do is buy a cheap camper that has all the appliances that work for maybe $400 or under and pick up a flat trailer or old pull trailer for $800 or under. Then take off all the panels inside and the ceiling panels and the flooring and check the condition of the wood framing. Replace what is bad with 2x4s and add 2x2s to the existing good framing to make it 2x4 in width. Then put in new house insulation. Reinstall any good wall, ceiling and floor panels and replace what is bad. Do any needed repairs and use the cheap camper appliances to replace bad trailer appliances. Or you could buy a flatbed trailer and build a tiny house and use the appliances and parts from the camper to save money. If you are doing 2 or 3 of them- you could buy about 4 older pull trailers for $3,000 and probably end up with 2 or 3 good tiny homes for another $3,000 in materials that you have to buy new and can't cannibalize. Then tear down the one or two trailers you have left over and sell them as flatbed trailers to get some of your money back. You can also sell left over good appliances and parts too. As far as where you can park them- check local zoning and regulations and find a cheap piece of land that allows them to live in an rv while they are building a house for $200 a month or less payments and then get a permit to build a small inexpensive house like maybe 350-400 sq. foot home. You can renew the building permit for very little money and usually the only requirement is to make significant progress on the building. When the kids get done building the home- they can then either keep the trailer or sell it to get some money back or they could move on to another property and sell the home they just built for profit. I don't imagine if you have acreage that you would not be allowed construction trailers and construction teams (multiple trailers) on the same property during building. It would be a really good idea for them to help each other build each others first home.

My parents lived in an RV full time in Colorado....they did it for years. I wish I knew exactly how but its definitely doable :)

We are living in an RV right now, not by choice, our house flooded last month most of the state flooded so there is no place to rent until we can get our house rebuilt. We just hooked the water, electricity and septic to the house outlets. We have well water and a septic tank so no problem with city utilities. It does not snow here but we have property in Colorado so we will be bringing the RV there next month So far living in an RV is not bad, it could be worse in our case.

our teenager lives in an old camper, tow behind kind, out back. we used a stand up oil filled electric filled radiator. The teen before her let the pipes freeze and they burst. so a cheap composting toilet was made from a cheap bedside toilet, filled with peat moss. for water, solar showers, point of use water heaters are inexpensive options. in the kitchen, we put a 3 gallon jug with a spout behind the sink on the counter.....just keep filling it......we have done this for a while with mixed success.

Composting toilet- 5 gallon bucket with saw dust. Do your business and cover with saw dust. Then dispose of in a compost bin. The waste sits for a year or two before composted.

I turned a 10×16 shed into a tiny home with electric but no water and insulated it has ac/heater unit my son moved in it when he was a senior and he came inside the main house for bathroom and showers and laundry

composting toilets are great

A house trailer pulled with a pickup isn't called a camper. A camper is usually mounted on a pickup or truck body. Anyway mine was a 30' park model because it had a regular commode and no holding tank, designed for trailer parks or a place where you have to be hooked up. An RV has holding tanks, water tanks, chargeable batteries. They're either pulled by a power unit or they're a motor home. If you're in an unincorporated area or out in the country with no codes., you can get 2 55gal. barrels and dig your own septic tank. I've done it in lots of places with my park model. If its a trailer, you can build skirting around the bottom. We used small propane tanks . I went all electric when my tank was stolen. Just used small space heaters set on low and if a big freeze came, we let the faucets dribble till the temps improved.

You would have to put skirting around the RV/ tiny house and maybe heat tape on the piping.

I live in an RV. 36 feet long with three slides. It’s a 5th wheel and we hauled it with a Ford duely. Have done so since 2005 and traveled the country, coast to coast. Last November we hung up our keys but we still live in it

Hi! I live in a regular house, but I'm interested in tiny houses and full-time RV living. I'm not from the US, but most -if not all- of the content I've seen so far on the subject are from people in the US or Canada, so the resources I've gathered so far may be helpful in some way. All the topics have more or less been covered during the stream, but I'd like to leave my contribution below. 6:40 It's possible to winterize a regular RV - there are several videos on that, each covering a different topic, so I can't point you to any specific one. 7:06 RVs have gray and black water tanks, which have separate connections you can hook up to at RV camps - I don't know how it's dealt with when you're full-timing outside RV camps, but I guess there are youtubers who may have already uploaded videos on that. Tiny houses tend to have either regular (water) toilets or composting ones - the separett (liquids and solids go their own separate ways) seems to be a very popular choice. 8:14 As far as I know, there are different classes of RVs (class A, class C, class Super-C, class B), trailers and fifth-wheelers, and tiny houses on wheels or on a foundation. People differ in their preferences, so I usually come across either side talking about the (dis)advantages of each one.

I love that idea !!!! So so so nice for you to do for,your kids !!

I lived in a 36 foot camper for 4 months..we used heat tape to keep the water lines from freezing during the Winter....composting toilets work wonders..many are available

Yes I have lived in a 26 foot travel trailer they are very cold in the wintertime you have to run the furnace all day you have to keep the propane tanks filled you have to keep a hose wrapped with heat tape they have holding tanks you can tap in to the sewer to dump your tank or if you have a clean out for your sewer line you can just open the clean pout you can put the dump hose on and turn the valve on once a week easy enough. I lived in one with 5 children my husband myself on the river banks no running water or power available. That was not that much fun, you don't need to hook it up to sewer just have a clean out so you can dump the holding tanks.

Composting toilets and heat tape for the water. You would also have to make sure that the trailer is very well insulated from the roof to the floor. Tiny home would be better since they are better insulated and built better, but can be more expensive.

My family and I live in a tiny house. Our son is 6 but plan on getting him his own small tiny house when he gets older or fixing up an old RV. Being on the coast of NC for winter (lows of about 30), we did fine. We have spray foam insulation and having lofts they were always warm. I remember even in the 40's we would have our windows open because it was so hot up there. As for the pipes freezing you need to insulate the pipes. They have little pipe coverings you can get from Lowe's or probably from any home store. The toilet comes down to what you want, so many options out there but we just use a bucket and dispose of the waste in a compost.

My brother had a 2 bedroom house with his wife, and lots of land. He geared up an RV for guests which his son lived in for one winter. Winter was very problematic, but they were both handy electricians so they made it work. Personally I wouldn't want to stay in one through a Canadian winter.

Compost Toleit, bucket add sawdust!! Doesn't stink & use it in Compost!!

I know this is an earlier video. It is January of 2017 now and we are currently living in our RV in New Hampshire! Yes New Hampshire. Yes it is cold up here. This is our first year and there was a earning curve. We have hay bales all around the base of the camper. We are at 31 ft with a slide out. The heater does a good job keeping us warm. The hardest part is keeping all of the pipes warm enough to work. We used a heated hose insulated with insulation and plastic wrap to keep it dry. Our fresh water has never froze and it has gotten well below freezing, even below zero. The pink winterization stuff is your best friend. If you got a portable toilet they could bring it into your house and dump it in your toilet. The cassette with the "crap" in it detaches. As far as grey water there are many times laws saying you can NOT dump in on the ground. They do make grey tanks to put the grey water in, but again it could freeze. They make all kinds of heat pads for tanks and heat tape for the pipe that are outside. We found out by trial and error that we needed to put heat tape on all pipes and all drainage pipes. We have not frozen any pipes since we did that. It is a lot of work. Oh and don't forget they would have to keep the roof clean. So here are some belated ideas.

we always went camping in trailers in winter. they were cozy. Buying a house with a little duplex on property could work, then air bnb it when they are done for further income. you could graduate the rent upwards as they continue renting until they are paying the going fair rental rate.

off subject, where did you get the pretty towels

That was hilarious! "Today we're going to talk about living in an RV" Mike..."which we nothing about"...I am dying over here 😂😂😂

He brought me quail 😂🤣😂😆😄HILARIOUS!!!! I'm crying over here!

Good idea

I like the build your own on an old trailer frame idea, with composting toilets. A family compound sounds fun. a trailer is better, bigger than campers.

I live in a 26' travel trailer. I've gone through one winter so far. I got a heated hose for the incoming water. That was around $100. from Camping World. It has an electric cord wrapped around it, and is insulated on the outside. It plugs into the outside socket. But if you were running an extension cord from someone's house, then it would plug into one of those. It did work and kept my water from freezing. But I still had a problem with the lines freezing under the trailer. If I go through another winter in the trailer, I'll put thick white-boards all around the underside of the trailer. I was told that helps. The toilet was ok as long as the incoming water wasn't frozen. You could always have a camping toilet there for emergencies (bucket with toilet seat).Hope that helped some.

You need a trailer with a winter package so the water doesn't freeze. A winter package means it is better insulated and the tanks stay heated because the heating also heats the compartments below. You also have the wrap the water hose with foil, heat tape, and foam wrap. And as far as the sewage, if you live in the country you can put in a septic and run the pipes to each trailer, and the hose from the trailer needs to be sloped a lot, just get a large septic. Also putting up skirting around the bottom of the trailer.

Yea I was thinking about the sheds/cabins. They are pretty spacious for one and solid. I'm in MI and I want to get land. Only issue is, I don't know how to get the electric and plumbing started.

When I was a teen I moved to a trailer at grandpas camper, the toilet went into the plumbing of the house, just like the water was connected with a hose, it had heating electric, refrig stove and 2 beds. You can use a compost toilet which turns it to compost .

you can wrap the pipes. that really helps. i know someone in east tennessee and that works for them.

and the compost you can use in the garden

We're living on limited income, and the neighborhood is mixed there's people who are going dumpster searching for food which stores cast away. I think it's hard life for them, they live 15 persons in 3 bedroom house.

Great idea rv or tiny house.

For winter you would have to get a heat tape and insulation set up to keep the water pipes and waste system from freezing. I would think you would have to set up like camping stalls and outdoor electricity or use a generator.

I lv watching you guys I'm really sick so all I do is each and lean and am slwly getting me family back n track its hard but worth it nwbf can save enough to buy your cookbook thanks for being real and teaching us to save money

Do you guys have a Technical school local? We have one, and the construction class builds tiny houses on wheels and then tries to sell one per year!

Be a great learning experience for them

You guys are doing a good job keep up the good work

Y grandparents lived in a camper for years they had their toilet hooked right to my dads septic tank and used heat trace wire to wrap around their water lines

Where do you put diapers and cat litter? The trash... So do the 5 gallon bucket, lined with a trash bag put cat litter or sawdust in it and empty daily.

how fun! do it

Go for it, The Tiny House idea!!!

You might want to look at a used Park model..or even a used travel trailer and invest in one of those roof overs..

If you have winter weather, it will need to be winterized. So have a composting toilet and an electric heater. You couldn't use water in the water pipes. You would have to haul drinking water and shower elsewhere.

My dad and mom live in a camper now a 5th wheel their built a little box around where the water connects and have heat trace wires wrapped around it and a heat lamp so water does not freeze but for the sewer he uses one of those blue tanks to empty to empty it into and then he pulls it behind the lawn mower up to my brothers and empties it into the sewer over flow pipe that sticks out above ground or whatever that is called

u could do a composting toilet and as for water put underpinning up and use heat tape on all water lines

Watch a lot of your old shows :) you say 5 kids but your website says 4 ? Just curious?:) and your show is inspiring and great tips :) I also have your cookbook and use it :)

I would love to live in an RV. Three kids and all. ( I’m raising grandchildren ages 2 to 7). We do have a permanent campsite at a campground and spend as much time as we can there. Most of our time is spent outdoors. I have also considered setting up my daughter in a camper. I’ve seen them as low as 2,700. Water. It’s as simple as a hose and it would help to have a septic tank for sewage. But can drain to a specially made tank that’s on wheels

Seriously sounds like a great idea for the teens. I'd be concerned about extremes in temperature. It's a lifestyle I'm interested in watching on youTube. Sorry I missed this live. How did you get on with it?

I've been looking into tiny houses for about 2 years now. You'd wanna look up compost toilets and that will explain everything. I've never done it but from everyone I've ever heard talk about it it's less smelly and pretty easy to deal with.

in Kentucky. people are buying storage building and put septic tanks in. in ky a septic is 3,000 t0 10,000. rent a John's might work. do like a campground, a bath house and then camp around it.

Buying land and having tiny houses is a Great idea. Obviously they are smart enough to look into details on how to go about all the laws. A tiny house is their own personal space, mindset wise and in general. No comparison on having a room with your parents.

Composting toilet would be best. Nature's Head would the best bet. It separates solids from solids. They could use sawdust or peat moss to layer the solids, they could dump the liquid down the house toilet. You could dump the solids into a composting bag and place in the green bin. A hole could be dug in the yard and the solids placed there, just throw some dirt on top. Allow it to get to a level where you can plant a tree or bush. Just a suggestion.

Our Mother in law lives on our property and stays in a camper... The septic is tied into ours and it was difficult to find the pipe. Thankfully we have a friend that's a plumber he came over and used the camera and my husband finally found it. We also run water straight in with a hose because the tank had a leak. So far it's going well and has been affordable for her. This will be her first winter and she may stay the most difficult part of winter in Florida with family. It's a wait and see type of thing. We are saving to purchase land where a few of our children and Mom in law can have a tiny house build. In the meantime she is doing this to save money. Hope that helps. Please feel free to ask any questions and good luck!

Research a luggable loo and a book about humanure composting. This will answer some questions. Have you considered a garden shed on a pallet? You can insulate it as necessary. If you are running electric to them you can plug in heat tape on the water lines. Also look into a catalytic heater or a extra small wood stove.

I don't know how they are expected to pay 1,200 a month for rent . and bring home is $300 a week. in Kentucky med range is $7.25 to 8.00 and one bed room rent is $350 to $400. $500 for nice place

Also have to be aware of zoning allowances if you can even have them. some channels on tv have shows showing the building of them a have seen a build done for $10,000

There is portable tanks that can be taken and dumped, can find at camping supply. Would help if you have a truck to take away

the problem will be you need a septic tank so you could run the toilet straight threw the fill line other wise you would have to empty the black water tank at a dump facility. doing composting toilets is like the cat litter thing or saw dust. you put the waste in a compost pile add saw dust and use it on the fruit trees or trees you dont eat from. then a far as pipes you have to wrap them and winterize under the trailer itself. I hope that kind of helps

All y'all should move to Ohio....you could buy two houses for what folks pay for one apt there.

your thinking of a 5th wheel.. yes it can work. as far as living full time it is usually allowed to camp on your own property for 6 months a year. However going towards Hartsel Park county they are all living in rv's. I dont think they are doing it only 6 months either..

Inconvenient driving campers to dump centers. You needed an old fashioned outhouse. A country family I knew, back in the 70's, kept theirs in operation long after getting an indoor toilet. They strung an electric line from the house to the outhouse. They turned on the light switch from the main house, which switched on both a light and a space heater in the outhouse. I bet your kids would have loved that. Of course, if you live in some areas with strict zoning laws, they may not permit it.

Hows this going or was idea scraped with the BJ health issues

any time

What about them putting up a large pole building? They could park in there and you could heat the whole building with a wood stove...

Might get a tad wet getting across the ocean to visit here. Brisbane, Australia ;)

one use a warm.waterhose outside,and a compost toilet

If you keep the water hose connected you don’t have to fill the water tanks so the tanks don’t freeze just wrap the pipes

the big construction companies usually have mobile homesvto hive away when they leave a construction site

I’m do that for my oldest son when he gets to be 16 or 17 it’s a trailer that gets pulled by a truck and it’s like just a room outside nothing fancy that’s if he ever home still when I was 14 I moved out my moms house

I’m praying that I will be able to go RVing in the future. You could wrap the pipes with heat tape and 🔌 in. We had to mobile home.

My two cousins are. Now living inmy motor home and they fill jugs of water to use daily and use and electric heater and ac to col with and it works wonders for them but they were homeless until I let them stay there and now I am thinking of moving onto my pull behind camper and letting my daughter have my house I stayed on it for 3 months after my husband died and I loved it

can u put it in the backyard

It isn't like that with composting tolet it can be put in garden the tolet insinuate the waste leaves it almost oderfree

I think it is a good idea to organize your children and help them get organized as they grow older, but....where could you set it up, it is very difficult to find a place. If you do, its a great idea. There are many blogs about RV living. They tell you all the information.

Yes.Compost toilet, people make them.

use a compost toilet!! build a box with a door put a 5 gallon bucket in the box cut a hole on top of the box attach a toilet seat and you put wood chips in do your business pour a cup of wood chips over it and there is no smell. when its full take it outside dump it and it becomes compost

Check out Cheap RV Living channel here - Bob shares a wealth of knowledge of the practical side of living in all kinds of homes including vans, campers, RVs, cars...

Look into it with where are you plan to live! Cause most places will let you Have Tiny Homes & Camper with people staying most of the time!! We are talking out in the Country!!

The problem is RVs do not have the proper insulation to be sufficient for winter. Tiny Houses can be built to the appropriate R factor. But, building a tiny house, are about $30,000 to build. You can build cheaper, but for those weather conditions you will definitely need the properly insulated windows too! Composting toilet the bucket would work, but you need to cover each deposit with sawdust. A 5 gal bucket is cheap, with a toilet seat on top with lid. You need a designated place in your yard to dump the bucket a couple of times a week. there are many youtube channels that show these options.
