CYPRESSThe Cypress design makes use of the most interior space, by incorporating a corner porch and utilizing the extra room as interior space. The rhythm of the design and depth, from its recessed porch and hipped roof, offer an aesthetic that has led to the overwhelming popularity of this Tumbleweed design.
ELMThe iconic Elm facade features a custom arched window above the door. The beauty and function of this house has withstood the test of time. Optional dormers are available in the loft for added space, light, and cross breeze. The full porch and lancet window give this exterior design the charm and elegance that started it all.
LINDENThe openness of the Lindens great room, perfect for small gatherings and meetings, and the innovative new loft are the major features of this design. The roof includes two dormers that not only let in more light and give space, but also add to the overall classic proportions of the design. The full porch across the front provides a nice outdoor sitting area to enjoy a relaxing evening.

Our tiny homes can be towed by a standard truck which you may already own or else rent for moving days. To prepare for towing, here are specifications about home weights and minimum tow vehicle requirements. Our House-to-Go models have a width 8'6" and height of 13'4" Remember that your home should be titled, licensed and insured to tow legally as an RV.
TOWING SPECIFICS
Tumbleweed house weights vary by size. Dry weight refers to the home and trailer combined weight. GVWR or gross vehicle weight rating refers to maximum allowable weight of the combined home, trailer and your personal items. Tow capacity refers to the weight the truck can tow, which needs to meet or exceed the gross weight of the home. Tongue weight refers to weight carried by the hitch rather than the wheels of the trailer, and insufficient tongue weight is the primary reason its difficult for 1/2 ton trucks to tow Tumbleweeds. The compatible ball size is 2-5/16" for all Tumbleweed house trailers.
