Tiny Idahomes latest build the Zamora Vardo made the paper. 

Tiny Idahomes just completed another build and one of the most unique builds we have ever done. The owners call it the Zamora Vardo and plan to take on on a wellness tour across the country with many stops in multiple states. Tiny Idahomes did very well at trying to match the couples ideas and drawing as close as possible and fitting everything in a small area. We installed old family antiques into the Tiny house RV, and kept this build with the lowest possible chemical usage as requested by the owners. I will publish a list of the chemicals used as soon as finished as we are very impressed by how low it is.  This was the very first Tiny house RV that we have installed a built in rain harvest system into the roof, and a slide out patio along with many other features. The exterior of this build has charred cedar with rusted metal bottom, and a very custom dutch door. here are a few pictures and a link to the first of many news paper articles on the couple and their custom Tiny house RV. 
More details and specs about the TIny House RV will be posted soon.

RVIA certification

Since we have opened our doors I have focused on becoming RVIA certified, to benefit our customers and product. There are lots of rumors and myths pertaining to RVIA certification, but I would like to clear up the biggest one. It is not a Requirement, you do not need it to get a loan, to travel with your RV, or get insurance. It is a code certification group we as builders decide we want to be involved with, and yes there are other certification companies out there that are very good companies. Some Parks, or certain places can decide if they want to require a particular certification company, and  turn away other certifications. That is their right just like it is your right to decide to stay at that park, keep in mind the owner of that RV park has insurance and it may not cover RV’s that are not certified. RVIA is the most widely know and recognized certification company, and we at Tiny Idahomes wanted the to be able to give our customers the same rights as any RV owner has, be able to stay at any RV park that any other RV owner can. We have been trying to prove that our Tiny Idahomes product is no different than any other RV that is going down the highway, and have been pursuing this certification for the past 9 months. Well we are happy to announce that we are now RVIA certified and can certify our products we sell to the general public. Thank you to everyone for your support and we look forward to making our customers dreams come true for years to come.

Are You Ready for a Tiny Home?

 

Tiny Homes, or living tiny, is a huge movement taking place right now!  Coast to coast people are rethinking what is important to them and deciding to change the way they live.  You may have heard about this, read about this or maybe have seen programs on TV about it.  You may have even wondered if living in a Tiny Home is for you!?  We are here to help in that process.
We have compiled a list of things to think about and also reasons why others have decided to make this extraordinary life change:
1.  Are you looking to build a home with a foundation or do you want a house on wheels? 
2.  Do you want the freedom to have your home move with you instead of having to sell and look for a                         new place to live?  RVIA certified Tiny Homes give you the freedom you move and travel with your home.  These Tiny Homes are built to RVIA standards that allow you to tow it and park it in an RV park or on private property (depending on the city codes where you live)
3.  Is saving money something you want to achieve?  Like most of us we would all like to save more money.  Living in a Tiny RV Home can help with that!  Financial freedom is one of the reasons for the growing popularity of Tiny Homes.  They have a significant lower price tag than an average home and the monthly costs associated with them.  Studies have shown that tiny home owners have a higher than average savings compared to large homeowners
4.  Do you want to reduce your “carbon footprint” on the planet?  If you answered yes then living “Tiny” may be the perfect solution for you by reducing the amount of natural resources you need to live.
5.  Are you looking to downsize?  Living “Tiny” requires you to rethink the relationship you have with “stuff”.  With limited space for storage, people really take a good look at what they really need and really use in everyday life.
6.  Are you concerned with the smaller square footage compared to a regular home?  Tiny Home owners would encourage you to take a good look around you every day and the actual space you use.  You would be surprised about what little square footage you use.
At Tiny Idahomes we are here to help you every step of the way!  We want your experience to be the best that it can be.  Whether you are looking for a total custom floor plan or want some ideas from our base models, let us be there to guide you through this life changing process.

Not so tiny tiny house

​Lately we had a lot of people asking us about what can we offer in terms of a bigger tiny house model. One of our biggest models is our Carpathian model. It is 35′ long goose neck and it comes with 3 slide outs – about 350 sq ft. Very nice and roomy tiny house. Offers a lot of space and one family should have no problems living in this space full time or part time. The cost of this tiny house starts at $57,000

Here is a family of 4 that bought one of our Carpathian Models a while back. This video explains really well the unit outside and inside. This is their space but we are a custom builder so you can utilize the space and make it your own – whatever fits your life style best, Tiny Idahomes can build it. This unit is big enough where you can fit a bedroom at the main level, loft and bedroom/living room over the goose neck. You can easily sleep 8 people
