"I heard of these about 10 years ago when a friend whose husband was a bit scammy by nature, started promoting architectural plans for these at 800 bucks and up a pop. Pay, download and then pay someone else to build it. No disclaimers about being careful of ordinances, moving them, depreciation etc. I was not surprised to see it as a program on HGTV because these \"dream\" housing shows always seem to correspond to a housing market that is starting to inflate (oh, so much money to be made on desperate people). This blog was hilarious and I do watch the show for a laugh, but I have read so many horror show commentaries on former tiny house owners who just abandoned their tiny homes because they could not afford to keep moving or fixing them. I am always concerned about communal (KOA) lots because you have no control on how much that land your leasing is going to cost you in the future. Its renting a campsite by any other name. How many times can you move that house before it collapses like a set Ikea of drawers?  I think this show, coupled with house flipping shows are pretty much a suckers market. There are 'success\" stories I am sure but I am still waiting for the follow up programs where 85% of the people who took the bait got hurt. Not so funny, but hey, no one wants to watch that. Live the DREAM..."
