I don't really "get" the tiny house thing myself, mainly because of my stage in life at the moment having three kids between 7 and 11, there never seems to be enough room in our existing house, let-alone trying to downsize.
If I were a single guy, or even just a couple with no kids, I think the concept of a tiny house would be kinda cool. I always loved campers and camping until it rains. For some reason, rain hitting a fiberglass roof is a downer, but hearing rain hit a metal roof like you would have on a tiny house makes for good sleeping. The tiny house is made with "real" building materials as opposed to plastic, fiberglass and aluminum camper stuff. While the fistures may be the same (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), you just have a more "home" feel in a tiny house than a camper. BUT - it all depends on how much mobility you are after. If you are moving it every week, then a camper is the win. If you are setting up for a season at a time or a year or longer, the tiny house and it's durability will win out in my book.
