In March 2019, I downsized from a comfortable two-bedroom home in a small, country village to a 20′ travel trailer in an urban RV park. By choice!

Needles were under the antenna and vent covers, as well as in the gutters

A Leaky Roof

cassandra January 8, 2020

Friday, December 27, 2019 Tuesday before Christmas, just before heading out to spend the holiday with my son and my ex, I discovered a leak in my roof. Oh, no! Leaky roofs can destroy RVs in no time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to deal with it. But, fortunately, the…

The Dinette versus the Recliner

cassandra December 14, 2019

Thursday, December 12, 2019 I’m not much of a table-using kind of person. My trailer came with a little four-person dinette, placed beneath a beautiful picture window. The window floods the trailer with light in the morning. It’s an incredible place to sit and relax in the morning before heading…

Amping up the Heat

cassandra December 10, 2019

Monday, December 9, 2019 I’ve been using an electric space heater as my primary heat source since moving into my little trailer last March. I do have propane, but using a propane furnace makes me a little uncomfortable. In fact, using propane anything makes me a little nervous. I only…

Plumbing Issues Part Deux

cassandra December 2, 2019

Sunday, December 1, 2019 After I returned from my conference last week, I went ahead and emptied my black water tank. The tank contents and a Commando pod had had almost a week to ferment. According to the instructions on the Commando packet, the chemical should clean a tank in…

Turbacken versus Power and the Empty Propane Tanks

cassandra November 28, 2019

Wednesday, November 27, 2019 I volunteered to provide the turkey for this year’s Thanksgiving family feast. My ex had suggested we all just go out to a fancy restaurant, but I like eating at home with family. Even if it isn’t my home. So I offered to bring the turkey,…

Plumbing Issues

cassandra November 20, 2019

Tuesday, November 19, 2019 I haven’t really published much on Tiny Living, mainly because I really don’t feel like I have a lot to contribute to the subject. I’m not an expert. I’m just somebody who lives in a tiny space. And, I haven’t been living in one very long–only…

New Steps!

cassandra October 12, 2019

October 7, 2019 I’ve been living in my little travel trailer for seven months now, using the built-in step to get in and out. Modern building design describes proper steps as having a seven inch rise with an eleven inch run, and RV steps don’t meet that requirement at all!…

Tiny Living

cassandra July 23, 2019

Living in a tiny space In March 2019, I traded my comfortable two-bedroom house on a spacious 1/3 acre mountainside lot for a 20′ travel trailer in a tiny rented space in an urban RV park. Many people questioned my sanity, and most asked if it was a temporary move.…
