ELM MODEL
The iconic Elm facade features a
custom arched window above the
door. The beauty and function of this
model has withstood the test of time.
Optional dormers are available in the
loft for added space, light, and cross
breeze. The full porch and lancet
window give this exterior design the
charm and elegance that started it all.

TUMBLEWEED PLANS | WHATS INCLUDED

The year was 1999 when our first Tiny House RV was mounted to a trailer. The little structure was named
Tumbleweed because it had roots and was mobile all at the same time. And in that moment, the seeds for a
revolution were planted.
For more than a decade, Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has been a leader in designing tiny homes that fit
neatly on a standard trailer. Countless people have built RVs from our plans. We invest hundreds of hours into
each set of plans to ensure both beauty and utility. Our years of knowledge and expertise are evident with each
set of plans. Working with an architect to produce a similar house from scratch typically costs $5,000$10,000.
Our goal is to offer you an amazing home at an affordable price.
