Things continue to be hectic here at RMTH!! We now have three builds out the door of our new facility. We are continually organizing and making improvements while starting to find our groove here. We went from one of the biggest winters on record, to a very cool and pleasant spring, to one of the hottest summers on records. Climate change is real! Luckily we have this fancy new insulated shop to help buffer out the extremes! As a small family run business, family matters greatly affect the business. Shortly after getting settled into the new shop earlier this year, my wife Stephanie and I brok ..read more

Wow, what a winter it has been! While we haven’t had the amount of snow the California Sierras have been posting, it has been a lot, at least for this neck of the woods! That, and the colder-than-normal temps have both played a part in the tardiness of this long overdue update. It is with great pride and jubilation that I announce the completion of our new facility! As usual, we encountered obstacles that were not anticipated, it took way longer than expected, and we went over budget. However, we persevered and got ‘er done. To make matters more interesting, our old shop suffered catastrophic ..read more

As a custom builder, we don’t really build “models” but of all the tiny house designs we’ve completed, it seems the Boulder has been the most repeated in some form or fashion. A nice couple near Victor, ID commissioned this build to use as a guest house and also some extra office space. The big picture window above the table has an absolutely insane view of the Tetons (see above!), something they can’t quite get with their main house since it’s tucked back into thick forest. Like the Boulder 2.0, this is built on an 18′ trailer. The floor plan is relatively the same, including the iconic alt ..read more

A lovely medical worker in the San Diego area commissioned this sleek 22’+7′ Gooseneck tiny house build. It is parked up in the mountains east of San Diego near a place called Cuyamaca, hence the name. We worked closely with Lisa to design and build her a high quality house that met her needs and style while keeping the budget in check. The exterior features clean lines with a simple shed roof and charcoal metal/cedar t&g siding. Black Kolbe Forgent windows add some pop. Privacy was important to Lisa, so not only did we limit the number of windows, but kept them higher off the ground. The ..read more

Hello all you tiny house fanatics! ( I refuse to use “cool cats and kittens” – you’re welcome, for those who get the reference!) First off, Happy New Year!! 2021 was a great year for us with some nice builds out the door and a large transition kicked into high gear as we broke ground on a new shop facility. Winter slowed that down a bit, but we are still inching forward, and with a little luck hope to be up and running by April of this year. We still have four builds in progress at the existing shop, and a few more on the way before we can get too crazy busy on the new building. There are two ..read more

Gina, a professional bartender in Vegas, commissioned this awesome 28′ build completed in the spring of 2020! It’s nuts that I’m just now posting it over a year later since this design has some very interesting features I have been dying to share!! Let’s start on the outside and work our way in. In addition to the 28′ base trailer length, there are two bumpouts on the rear to cheat a little extra space out of the design- one for an unheated storage closet, and the other as part of the loft. You will also notice some ceiling lights in the soffit to help illuminate this area at night, because ..read more

A friendly couple from the Front Range commissioned this sharp looking build to use as a getaway from city life. It is setup completely off grid on land they own in the county not too far from Durango. Since their site did not have any utilities, an off grid solar system and exterior water cistern were key to the success of this project. They also wanted the exterior to be made from durable, low maintenance materials since they would not be around most of the time. We ended up using standing seam metal in a charcoal color for almost all of the the exterior siding. We trimmed the windows with ..read more

This unique build was commissioned for a semi-retired woman from Lander, WY. She had an older 3/4 ton Chevy Duramax truck and planned to travel the US extensively as a traveling teacher. She needed something large enough to meet her living needs, but small and light enough that her truck could tow easily. For those wanting to travel a lot with a house longer than 24′, gooseneck trailers offer more ease of use and safety compared to a bumper pull. Having that 7′ of neck over the truck means 7′ less trailer behind your truck! Plus all the tongue weight is placed directly over the truck axle rat ..read more

Consider this our official COVID 19 update, which until this point, we have not had to even contemplate since 2020 was more or less an average year for us, and Covid didn’t really affect sales or production all that much. In fact, the tiny house industry as a whole saw demand absolutely spike! The main hurdles we had to face last year were long trailer and window lead times. Now that it is 2021, these challenges still exist on a slightly exasperated level, but we have even more hurdles to overcome. Since summer of 2020, we have seen material prices go through the roof! Framing lumber in partic ..read more

This is Michelle’s AWAKES tiny house. It’s an acronym for the most important people in her life! Michelle was ready to stop living in an apartment and have a place to call her own. She came to us with a vision of clean lines, a bright interior, some cozy lounging space, a big kitchen, and a small wood stove to knock the chill off those Colorado winters! We started out with an 8′-2″ wide x 26′ long triple axle Trailer Made Trailer. From here, Structural Insulated Panels (SIP’s) frame the walls and roof, providing a strong, very well insulated shell. Black Kolbe windows and a mix of cedar t& ..read more
