Tiny Home vs RV?
In a recreational vehicle, the majority of living space is on one level. A tiny home can have two stories or a loft which allows for added space within the same amount of square footage. In addition, tiny homes are insulated better than recreational vehicles. Therefore, if you plan on living in harsh climates, the best option for comfort is a tiny home.
The biggest reason one would choose a tiny home over an RV is space and size. There is more living space per square foot inside a tiny house than the typical RV has. Making the living areas more comfortable within a tiny house. Although the recreational vehicle has evolved over the years, it still lacks the feeling of home a tiny house offers. In addition, spacious, luxurious RVs cost a lot of money, some even costing as much as a traditional home.
