When I went off-grid, I first lived in a tiny house. What many people fail to consider is that there are options that fall in the middle-ground, where living is affordable, functional, and actually a lot of fun. The idea seems quite impractical and uncomfortable. Living in a tiny house with a family is not something many people want to do. The equipment is cheap, but you don’t get the living quality you expect, especially if you have a family. On the other hand, it’s really easy to go off-grid with a tiny house. People consider how expensive this is to pull off, so they give up on the idea. You will probably even need a special room for the batteries and so on. Taking a so-called regular big house off-grid (with the electrical boilers and everything), will cost a fortune. On the opposite end is going off-grid with a tiny house on wheels.īoth of these extremes have their big shortcoming.
