Couple Quit Jobs, Build Their Mini-House and Tow It in Country Road Trip

“We enjoy the new freedom this lifestyle has afforded us. We get to travel all over the country and go on new adventures almost daily. North America is our backyard” the enamored road trippers described their apparently endless venture. It’s been two years since they build their own 125-square-foot house on a 20-foot-long trailer which they tow with a pick-up truck all over the country. They seem quite happy.

Who said you’re supposed to change your lifestyle completely if you really want to see the world and live on the move?

You don’t really feel like leaving that comfy Ikea bed behind to switch for a small mattress instead, nor will you leave the assurance a good, old warm bath can offer after a long day. No, you’re simply not able to give up cooking your morning omelet, late night talk shows, pizza delivery and red wine with your girlfriend. Heck, it’s the 21st century you can’t just give up all the technology to live like a caveman all of the sudden.

Well, you should know that all the above is gibberish. If you really want to know, there’s a lot more to living on the road than what most of the people think and with a bit of imagination and some proper optimism you could just live the same life only with a lot more adventures added to it.

These two loverbirds quit their jobs about two years ago, build their own traveling house on wheels and just hit the rod. The wooden home is quite tiny: “20′ long, 13’5″ high, 8’6″ wide at the wheels, 7’4″ wide at the walls, 6’8″ wide and 10’6″ high inside, 10,100lbs with all of our belongings including water and propane, 1,500lbs on the tongue.” They use a 2006 Ford F-250 to tow their fantasy home all over the country.

It's not that expensive to build a house when it's that small

Sure the speed they drive at is rather cruising mode with an average of 50 mph run, but who’s rushing since there’s no place they need to be. They stayed in more than 20 RV parks and only had one driving offense so far... for driving under the minimum speed limit.

This is the moment you start judging them as being some sort of hippies trying to run from responsibilities. Their answer to this? They count people’s reactions on the road. So far, the couple claim they gathered countless pictures taken, countless thumbs up and two middle fingers. Yep, just two.

As to expenses, according to Huffington Post, building the house took more than 1,000 hours of labor, more than 6,500 nails, 8,000 screws and $29,328. If you want to find out more we recon you should check out their website.
