ModelTown's take

Prices and delivery costs are posted online, but the listed price is for the smallest size

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company builds tiny homes on trailers, which it sells as Tiny House RVs. It put its first tiny house on a trailer in 1999. Tumbleweed says it is the largest maker of Tiny House RVs in North America.

On ModelTown you can compare four Tumbleweed models: the Cypress, Elm, Aspen and Farallon. Each comes in several lengths and layouts, from 215 to 390 sq ft on the main floor, plus loft space. Starting prices run from $113,959 to $120,959.

Worth exploring if

  • You want a tiny house on wheels built as an RV. Tumbleweed says a fully built home from it will be RVIA certified.
  • You want to price a home online. Tumbleweed's quote tool shows starting prices, options, delivery by state and an estimated monthly payment.
  • You can wait about 12 months for a custom build, or you can buy a home Tumbleweed has in inventory.

Clarify before committing

  • Your size and options. The price on ModelTown is the 26-foot starting price. In Tumbleweed's quote tool, the Farallon costs $125,959 at 30 feet and $176,959 at 33 feet.
  • Where you can park and live in it. This is an RV, and local rules on full-time RV living vary. Check with your city or county first.
  • Fees beyond delivery. The quote tool says its monthly payment estimate includes D&H fees but doesn't list the amount.

Beyond the listing

Built as an RV, not a house

Tumbleweed says a fully built home from it will be RVIA certified. It also says TRA Certification, Inc. evaluated its quality system and found it capable of producing green RVs. These are RV standards, not house building codes. Lenders, insurers and zoning rules often treat RVs differently from houses. Ask your county where you can park and live in one, and ask your lender about RV loans.

What the starting price covers

Tumbleweed's quote tool marks these as included: a single loft, four leveling jacks, a cooktop, a tub and shower, a porcelain toilet, a 50 amp power cord and a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Delivery is a separate line priced by state, from $1,479 to Colorado to $8,979 to several Northeast states. Extended warranties cost extra: $2,599 for 5 years or $3,659 for 9 years.

Custom build or inventory

Tumbleweed says a custom build takes about 12 months. It may have inventory homes ready sooner, and says those usually deliver in about 1 to 2 weeks. Its inventory page also says financing approval usually takes 3 to 5 weeks. The home needs a water inlet, a 3-inch sewer connection and a 50 amp electric hookup at your site.
