Nah mobile homes are built to poor standards with poor materials, while most tiny houses are built to the same standards as a stick-built regular house. It’s more like exchanging size for quality.
Ideally yes…
Unfortunately and realistically, when you go searching the internet for ideas and inspiration for tiny homed, you’ll mostly find people who just want to avoid property taxes and building codes to go live in a trailer park.
Most of the “Tiny houses” on the market are literally mobile homes, but with a fancier facade to hide that detail.
The tiny home movement is a lot older than that, but yeah, more or less. Only distinction is that people usually want more of whatever given product, except with homes, where upkeep means having “too much house” can be a real life pain in the ass. It’s just more hours out of your day, having to upkeep any given room from weathering and getting dirty. Then it just comes down to personal preferences.
But they are definitely liked due to being cheaper, no question.
