When we made the choice to minimize our possessions and live small, it was a bit of a leap of faith. We wondered if we would miss any of that STUFF that we parted with in order to successfully fit into an old motorhome. Well, the verdict is in and we haven't missed a thing. I can hardly remember what else I had just 4 short months ago. It just goes to show that many of our possessions are completely unnecessary for genuine happiness. We have the bare essentials (and, of course, a few precious tokens that remind us of loved ones). It's just enough to meet our needs in the 175 sq ft we call home.
Top 10 Reasons to Live in a Tiny Home on Wheels:
1. In just 15 minutes, she's as clean as a whistle!
2. We both know exactly what we own and where to find it.
3. No matter where we go, we are at home. Literally. No packing required!
4. We can brew up a fair trade organic coffee in our kitchen while filling up at a gas station.
5. We can pull over for a nap at any time. In our own bed. Bam!
6. One of us can use the bathroom while the other is driving. Tricky, but possible. We've tried it.
7. The dash is so huge that it doubles as a greenhouse/kitchen table.
8. It's impossible to collect excess possessions with such little space. We would have to sleep up on the roof. Hey...we've been meaning to try that.
9. It makes us even more water-aware. The buzzing of her water pump is a reminder of water going down the drain.
10. Animals love it too. The local cats like to sit on the spare tire and stare in the bathroom window. After a rain, little birdies play in the puddles on the roof...which can be irritating when you're trying to sleep. But it's still really cute.
And there you have it! There are lots more reasons. I just don't want it to sound too good. Then we might end up with tons of neighbors, but you'll have to find us first. :)
