- Опубліковано 24 лис 2018
- Park Delta Bay advertises as “the only legal Tiny House community in Northern California”. There are now 10 tiny homes on wheels parked here - among 65 long-term residents - on this former KOA campground that now offers RV parking and cabin rentals.
To park your tiny house here, it has to be built according to RV certifications and registered as an RV. We visited four tiny homes.
Ken & Jessie: After living in containerized housing while enlisted together in the military together, they decided to leave their $2000-per-month home in Suisun City and move into a tiny house (there’s was built by Tiny Mountain Houses). • RV park as NorCal’s fi...
Sarah & Josh: With the only skoolie on the lot, Sarah and Josh moved from North Carolina, originally looking in the Bay Area, but discouraged by $1400-per-month parking fees they moved in here where things are “slower” and they like that. • RV park as NorCal’s fi...
Corinne Corley: One of the longest residents here, Corinne moved from Kansas City to be closer to Stanford Hospital where she’s being treated for a rare condition. Her home is “accessible” for her: it has stairs that with a longer rise so she can walk up them. • RV park as NorCal’s fi...
Melanie: A widow who built her own home - including plumbing, electric and elevator bed - and moved to California to be near her daughters. • RV park as NorCal’s fi...

The idea of an rv/tiny house park is pretty appealing for retirement age people. It addresses the need for community and affordability. Pretty neat.
Except that $650 per month to live in RV camps is still too much for a lot of folks. That’s nearly half or more of some people’s retirement income. When did RV camps get that pricey?
@@jazherahmacmornna8670I’d pay that over the $1100 I pay for a low income one bedroom apartment.
Proud of all who built their own tiny homes and who have taken the step to tiny home living. Very impressed with anyone who has no background and overcame this challenge by just doing it. Way to challenge comfort zones! Inspirational! Thank you for sharing!
This comment made me warm my heart again, Good fella Roc Diver
Compared to tract homes or neighborhoods with restrictions on everything from backyard sheds, green house structures and landscaping features to fences and walls between properties these tiny homes are both beautifully unique and inspirational in their designs and individual quirks. And many are quite simply genius in their design concept and actual implementation and fruition of ideas ! I applaud all of you on your bravery, execution and impact.
Please let that women with the electric hoist bed know she is awesome.. not just the bed but the overhead cabinets and flipping the one for clothes.. my hats off to her ingenuity and determination...
I'd agree she was really innovative. I wish I'd had more time to talk with her. She also created an adjustable table we didn't have time to film.
I love how she said that she just figures stuff out... An impressively resilient woman and an example to follow!
Fully agree that lady is wonderful. She's a true survivor.
She attributed the idea to Ana White. Ana White's awesome, but this lady did her own modification
Yeah, her ability to build is remarkable.
Needless to say, these Tiny Homes should be allowed in all states in order to accommodate the lack of funds of some individuals, plus it helps the environment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How does it help the environment? Is the electricity from a renewable source? Are they driving zero emissions vehicles? They vegetarians? They don’t fly?
Environmental would be living in the city where you walk everywhere, power is renewable, don’t fly, and go vegan. I’m in a conventional home, but I bet my carbon footprint is much lower than most of these.
@@npgibson69 educate yourself on the subject on hand & you'll have the answer.
@Nathaniel Gibson - In multiple ways... They reduce waste, are generally more efficient, make it easier to use recycled/reclaimed materials that would otherwise go to landfills, promote more minimal lifestyles that prioritize living over possessions, helps promote community living where resources can be shared and there's less need for redundancies, it gives people more control over what kind of home they have so it can more efficiently meet their needs and reduce the one size fits all wastefulness of most modern homes, they can be more easily be re-purposed, and the list goes on...
People should be able to live how they want without government intervention, period.
I agree. This solves a myriad of problems California faces.
Wow! The woman who designed her own home and “elevator” bed...very impressive!! Someone should hire her for designing these homes!!
Right!!! She acts like everything she did was no big deal but I'm like 😮😮😮
Kirsten, the drone shots are incredible. Your media background really shines through. Thanks for all the videos you’ve shared.
Kirsten, this is one of the best films you've done...so many individuals, individually doing more or less something similar. I think it's inspiring! Good luck to them all!
Love how creative folks are in designing their tiny homes. Helps solve the problems of the housing shortage in many communities. That said, the area of this tiny home community is precarious as well as dangerous. I lived in Sacramento all my life. The berms (levies) seperating the rivers from the trailer communities is a failing system and has been for many, many years. I wouldn't want to see them loose their homes because the state isn't and never will fix them. Those areas have been flooded so many times it not funny any more. There needs to be more options for Tiny homes. Options that are safe. Great Video Kirsten!
Proud of my hometown for allowing folks a choice in how they live, which for some would mean a huge difference in their quality of life, maybe even homelessness! It’s also inspiring to see the creativity & ingenuity expressed. Let’s not forget to mention, many are choosing small house living for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with money! Choice is golden!
Love the young military couples build. They did well. And own instead of rent. They are way ahead of the game. I've been renting my whole life. So spent roughly $200,000.00 and own nothing. Now my wife and I think building a tiny home is the way to go.
One of my favorite videos from your channel yet! The combination of the stories told along with how and why they did what they did is remarkable. This could be the start of a much longer documentary on how things are changing in the U.S., how people are learning to adapt, and how to be happy with less. Thank you very much...
Elevated bed using barn door rails! That's how I'm doing my cargo trailer! AWSOME tip! Thanks for posting this.
This is a way for the US tiny house movement to go to a mass scale & solve the lack of land problem (including power/H2O/sewer hookups);
Combine tiny houses with mobile home parks/RV parks.
The Feds own thousands of acres of land that they took from Native Americans that is just sitting there ...all over the US
One of the notable issues with modern Hollywood films claiming to depict modern America is how they fail to even hint at the endemic housing crisis ravaging your country. Unreal how every generation is struggling to find a spot of land to live on, although I am very impressed at how inventive people are in finding or creating their home against all odds.
I love that one with the bedroom downstairs and the office upstairs.
Beautiful video . Great insight to a different site for tiny homes. Excellent work. :-)
It's sad to see the results of over priced housing but happy to see the people making it work . Survival baby that's it
Hi Kirsten, could you maybe do a longer video on the lady with the electric bed, Melanie I think her name is? I read she had some other great ideas (table) and there was too little time to show it all in this video. Things like that could help giving ideas to people who are disabled , making their house more spacious and very accessible. Thanks for this video, very interesting! Take care!
Yeah I love the table too!
I can't wait to start our tiny home project. Thanks for the videos and ideas! Thumbs up.
oh man, I want to see all the different layouts/plans of these Tiny Homes!
Well, you can go to escape traveler website to see that Escape One Tiny. I’ve walked through that home a few weeks ago at a Tiny expo.
The bed on the hoist is pure genius. When you live in a tiny house with only so much floor space, the answer is to use vertical space. I love this video... one of the best on tiny home possibilities I've ever seen.
tiny house are cool and quirky and fun, but the fact of the matter is that a large amount of people have no other option. It's a sign that the system has failed us.
Actually, it's a sign that the system is working
Ah, but for whom is it working?
Adrian Reyes, the system is anti-American & anti-American resident.
Foreign investors have bought up a large number of US houses and other properties. **See LA Times article:**
"Foreigners Buy Record Number of US Homes Despite Fears of Immigration Crackdown" July 18, 2017
How can Americans save for retirement when wage increases don't keep up with the cost of living increase?
Have you studied the fed reserve scam? this is their plan, bleed us dry
Dunford00 .... I've been off grid in container turned studio for 10 years. I'm 78 yrs old. Much good from doing so, but hobbies are limited! And you're right; government has so many of us living in sardine cans for all the wrong reasons.
Webbing is a good idea. It's lightweight, comfy, and you can always tighten it up after a while.
The pulley anxiety can be easily solved by moving the pulley closest to the crank out of the way of the bed (so, "outwards"). Just screw it 10-15 cm towards the living room. The bed would still be lifted straight up but the hook would not get in the way of the bed any longer. She has built such a great bed, please lady, I want you to enjoy it to the fullest!
I'm a construction expert and now a full time RV-er. One problem I see with almost all tiny houses is the trailer is under capacity for the weight that is built onto it. The other things I see is most of them are fire taps. One can be built ultra light with fire rating but nobody seems to to do it that way, they go all cosmetics and less real world bullet proofing. Few are air and water tight to my satisfaction.
Yep, blowing wheels off axles etc. The frame is ok but it needs three axles or dual dually set up.
I've been researching Tiny Homes for months, and too often the owners trade safety for comfort. A reinforced custom triple or quad axle trailer is expensive and definitely not the norm. If I set on exactly where I wanted to live, I'd build a really small house because the thought of a fire in a Tiny Home scares the crap out of me. Another problem is all TH builders don't incorporate appropriate air exchange to avoid mold. So I'll research until I find a builder I'm confident will avoid all these issues plus a few more. I'm jealous of RV-ers like yourself but I'm a 50 year old chicken shit. Haha Maybe one of these days...
@@martigreene500 any builder that has commercial and residential knowledge should be about to design and build a unit that is lighter, better insulated, fire resistant and with proper air exchanging properties for mold prevention. I'd use an equipment trailer to start with, the type I used to haul track hoe and back hoes with. I've remolded a number of RV's and know their house systems well so I would incorporate the best of three worlds, commercial, residential and RV construction tech and house systems. Design it for how and where you intend to use it is step one. For example, in FL ten foot wide can travel on most roads without escort, 12 foot with banners is legal, and 14 with escort, so in FL there is no reason to build one 8 foot wide. Know the local codes and hauling rules before you build. Done right, the build can be way less costly and more efficient than typical TH builds.
Thx for posting!!!
Another great one Kirsten! Thank you.
very cool video.....Melanie is so inspirational!
When will it actually become"Legal"to purchase a small plot of land & place a tiny home on that land to live in????
Great house, but why do people not take off their shoes when going into their house, especially their bed? That's disgusting.
Wow that is a awesome video well done 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
appreciate the innovation and of the work that go's into making a tiny home it shows the creativity in necessity & budgeting pure genius 😊
This is great! Living in a tiny house and rv is the way to go. Thanks for sharing. Very nice!
Excellent video, and great info of my Bay Area!
Very innovative folding table! Love it.
loved the way the tabletop lifted up n over to you
marilyn albert. You can buy online, but they are not cheap.
So many smart, interesting folks in this world. Thanks for sharing!
Several nice tiny houses with different ideas, thanks for sharing.
My neck of the woods!!! Love your channel!
Thank you for this. I love Tiny Houses!!
This would be a great option for the campfire victims.
The interior of that schoolie bus would drive me crazy, with all of the haphazard colors.............As far as the bed lift, they make them for RV's on a 12v system for $1500.00. The system she had was probably around a third of that.
She explained that those are all test colors. This obviously wasn't their final color scheme. I enjoyed looking around their home and hope to see a follow-up.
I first all the bright colors in the schoolie were temporary, but I went back and listened again and I think they're ALL staying since she couldn't decide. WOW! That chaos is certainly not for me! I'd have a more neutral and relaxing color scheme and visit her schoolie when I needed some cheering up. 😁😁😁 It's fun to see how people's personalities shine with some of these alternative living projects. If we were all the same, this world would be boring!
I like how they show so many people and their homes.
5:07 love that drawer! Need that for better accessibly to cook wear!
Corrine melts my heart. 👏👏
It's great to see people from all different walks of life all finding happiness together via small dwellings :)
Another video I watched on their loft they had this plant box with different green plants. It looked really good from the loft area and down below. That is an option. I think it would look good in this tiny house too.
This is Amazing Congratulations Kristin
i can see these popping up finally more often with all the fires lately
There is a place in Plumas County for on grid and off grid Tiny House parking, reply here if interested.
Nice that it is providing for the tiny home owners, but it blows my mind that it is $650/mo. there. I have a couple of RV tenants on my property in OR, but only charge them $200/mo.
Where in OR?
Love the tiny homes. So way cool. You do what you have to do.
I would be a little hesitant to put a trailer at that particular part.
Its a bit close to the water. That area seems like they might have an issue with storm surges.
You can always check out elevations on google maps. Or if you are in the area, your GPS. I found out my library, less than a mile from the beach, was at 12 feet above sea level. My house was at 32 feet. I tried to start an evacuation plan for the books, a decent portion of which were out of print.
Nice homes :) Though the rent is too HIGH. It is wonderful that more people have found a place to park their happy functional ECO Friendly Affordable Homes.
I love the tiny home concept. I could easily live in one
People who take the leap of faith and build their own housing should be proud! However, some of the Tiny Homes built by amateurs would scare me to live in! Building cheaply often sacrifices safety (fire risk mainly) and/or ignores health concerns like mold from inadequate ventilation and air exchange. I've been seriously considering a Tiny Home due to chronic illness and pain (I'm also a Disabled Vet) and so far I'm disappointed in the sub-par quality I've seen. Although privately built homes often have the uniqueness and character I desire, I don't want to sacrifice quality. My perfect Tiny Home or Tiny Home design is out there somewhere...I just have to TRY to be patient! 😬
Awesome video! I would love to live in one of the tiny houses...I wish my city would adopt them and put them in a neighborhood or community. I'd move in, in a heartbeat!
Smart people. Lovely homes.
Have you ever found a person that bought a city bus instead of a school bus. I think those would be more comfortable and economical especially more head room.
I interviewed a family who converted a Denver city bus into their home: ua-cam.com/video/XVRVaS6Tcbw/v-deo.html
This is very close to my home. Spent my childhood skiing in those waterways! Great to see all of the people so excited about their tiny homes. Question: Those tiny houses with just a regular car in front of them, do they tow with the car? Is their trailer that light? Or are they towing with some other means and then use the car to commute?
There are transport companies that specialize in delivering RV's.
Yeah I did alot of House Boating their too as a kid
Im so glad i got to see this.
really like the bed design.
It's a hand up to folks not a handout. Great idea!
Where is this? Love the 1st couple's tiny house. Perfect!
They are all amazing but Melanie made her own! Wow! And that bed! Wow kind of scary to sit under but brilliant. She is amazing!
@14:28 i like her stairs and the fact that she has stairs along w a banister railing and not a ladder . :)
Hi Kirsten, Please enable automatic closed captions/ subtitles.
I just enabled "viewers to contribute translated titles, descriptions, and subtitles/CC". I assume that's what you meant. Thanks for the suggestion.
UA-cam does automatic speech-to-text. It's not great, but serviceable. If viewers can contribute, that's even better because we can correct the glaring errors.
That's very artistic.. Everyday I dream, I have home like this :)
That is a truly cool 'rv' trailer.
Thank you for your interesting video. Best regards from Yecla Murcia, Spain. ClaudioSerraBrun

Though we've been in drought conditions for 7 plus years, one major rain season will put that park underwater when the Sacramento and American rivers spill their banks. When it happens, flooding in the Sacramento area is no joke.
The other issue is the damaged Orvile Dam, it breaks, it's all under water! Life has its risks when you live in California...fires, earthquakes, flooding just take it if one day at a time, no guarantees in life. It's a beautiful place.
You know that's right.
Will these guys sllow me to park J Vernon Mcgee's bible bus long term? That would be super fun!
@@cheyennehummingbird676 👍There are a few guarantees in life.
Michael King This area is in the California Delta...their are many many parks like this...it’s an amazing place, great fishing, delta otters and tons of other beautiful wild life. You just have to get out their and explore.
I like the elevator bed at 16:26. Notice the puff of smoke at 24:13.
Omg!! This is great!! My hubby and I bought a school bus to convert last month. I’m from Sacramento and he’s from San Jose. We were wondering if we could find a place that allowed Skoolie conversions near Sacramento. I know exactly where this is❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s fate, go live freely!! :)
Nice Video, inspiring!! I'm a native Californian from the Bay Area but now live mostly in Georgia just south of Atlanta. We have an MH and RV Park community here with fishing ponds, community garden and so on. We have Tiny Homes and Shipping containers too. And the park is building a purpose built Tiny Living Community on the adjacent 10 acres next door. (City approved..) Lot rent is WAAAAAY less expensive out here, lol, currently $445.00 including utilities, amenities, etc. So as an option if someone is in the south east this park is a viable option.
Me Burger please send me the información if you have a chance mi very very very interested thanks Jackie
Where is it? I’m in Atl
@@jenlinds1 hello! Safe Haven RV Park in Macon, GA
Oh Boy, i like this Channel!
Love ❤️ this!!
Beautiful.🥰
I love the wood one! Nobody lived there.
Sacramento is 90 mi from SF. Is that called the Bay Area now? The $650 rent sounds CA normal for a space. Good job everyone
Mr. H it’s super reasonable considering the rising cost of living in Sacramento. Which is my home town. I left and went over the road trucking with my hubby 5 years ago. We’ve watched this town go nuts on rent because people are moving from the Bay Area and paying cash for houses. It’s becoming the new, old Bay Area
I don't know if Sac is called that, but all the way up to Vacaville is. I know where Suisun is. It's on the other side of Fairfield. Rents went up so much all around those areas. I'll stick to N.C. One of the mobile home parks outside of town also takes rv's or tiny homes. But being on well water they can only have so many "homes" on the water system, so some of the spots have to be "dry camping".
High Point NC best wishes for you both 30 yr retired Navy family.
Amazing opportunity provided! Bless them there need to be a major revolution in America
Adam Carolla's smoke detector chirp made me LOL...
My question is how do you handle the messy renter?
There are some that have messy storage areas around their homes
That you have hustle in your name says it all. *smile* What it is, is learning to slow down and accept the differences in peoples' space, and learn to turn a blind eye to what you don't like - it's just good manners, as long as it's not a health hazard. And that's CA, they have very high health standards.
I think there should be basic standards for ppl
Agreed, standards that you have to maintain the outside of the "house" , looks like most ppl are doing that, but it's very important
I think if you’re concerned with the look of others you’ve either got to do the tip Cyn offered or buy your own land & live in more remote spot
This is in my own backyard, and I had no idea it was there, albeit an hour from the Bay Area, a little less from Sacramento.
There is a great optical illusion at 6:54. It looks like the rear wall is twice as wide if you imagine that the side elevation begins with the orange door at the corner!
Those tiny home aren't cheap. Hope they don't price them out of the area.
Michelle Smith. Yes, but if you have the know how you could build your own.
16:30 ish -- Ana White's design!
Exactly. And she credits her in the video if you listen at the beginning of the bed explainer. Though Melanie put in a hoist that will hold a lot more weight, I believe.
How do I get that lift coffee table?
I have lived in studio apartments a few times in my life, the last one a 209 SF studio, the restricted space will get to you no matter how beautiful you make it, i found myself sitting at the neighborhood bar and i am not a drinker just to get away from the tiny space, also i wonder if we are looking at future rental ghettos .
Can someone let me know what water heater they are using in shower?
My experience is when you live in a beautiful home, you get a LOT of attention. So big windows are lovely, but it’s a privacy tradeoff.
I thought so too, when I saw that. And the no storage part. Lots of smaller windows, like the young veteran couple with those really nice black out shades/blinds in their bed area, still had all the light and a lot more privacy.
Rigid Copper soldered tubing does not work well in mobile situations because the joints break loose. Pex pipe is good.
It's a great idea.. we saw this video and went see the place, planning to move there. It was not what we expected at all. The property is very run down. They don't allow rvs over 10 years yet had old tons of abandoned rvs and vehicles on the property. The quarters are very close and for me this defeats the purpose of tiny living. If I'm living in a small house I at least want to feel like I have more space outside, but here they are so packed together you can barely set up a couple of chairs outside. There is only one long road through the delta and over islands to get to the place and it seems very unsafe and a little trashy. It is very unfortunate that this is what the people of CA have to deal with in regards to living. You make the best of what you have got but personally I would rather pay the same or a little more to live in an apartment in town. I prefer country living, but this is not country living, it's trashy. I'm not saying these people in the video are trashy, but take a drive down to check out the place and you will see what I mean. Absolutely disappointed because we really wanted to live like this.
I need that chair. at 13:50 MIght have to make my own.
Totally love tiny houses but doesn't it flood every year in Isleton?
I love it.. .
🌿🙋🌿
just an FYI the links in the descriptions are just to this video.
I wanna live in a tiny house, grettings from México!
I so could live there
Eric the owner is a great guy and visionary IMHO - when he heard about tiny homes he jumped to add it to Park Delta. In September, the team is planning to rehost their annual Tiny House convergence.
DO TELL! I am only 30 min away and would love to visit and see all these tiny homes, I live in a 2 story Condo and was thinking of getting a tiny home built and possibly wanting to move there for the fishing :) Also how is the internet there? are their Xfinity internet lines or is it only satellite kinda internet. I like video games and watching tons of movies so I need fast speeds.
5:07 That pan storage rack, can any one tell me the name of it, the brand name or the company that sells them? I need a good way to store my frying pans and other pans. I have an apartment with a small kitchenette with rather poor storage. I need to come up with ways to make as much storage as possible and I really liked that vertical rack.
same here. I need good storage for pans.
That one is made by a company called Rev-A-Shelf. They make 12" and 20" wide versions to fit different cabinets.
Thank you for the info. I looked them up and found the company. I'll peruse around their site, see if I can afford anything.
