Tall couple’s budget compact home: 1 space, infinite (movable) configurations

Video Description

In Scott and Susan Burbank's tiny house, almost everything moves — even the kitchen, just not the kitchen sink. Cabinets roll. Counters roll. The kitchen rolls from indoors to outdoors and back. The floors are paper, which is what lets it all slide. The result: a 600-square-foot home that reconfigures into whatever room they need. The Burbanks were still living in their converted semi-truck — the "penthouse on wheels" we filmed years ago — when they bought a cheap manufactured home in a Tucson RV park and rebuilt it into what they call the XLT — Xtra Large Tinyhouse. Just over 600 square feet, built from a tiny house shell with an "Arizona room" added on the side. Bigger than most tiny homes, still a small footprint. But the footprint does more. Because nothing is bolted down, the same room becomes a 600-square-foot walk-in pantry, then a 600-square-foot walk-in closet, then a sewing studio where Susan made their couches and the mattress for their 6'7" husband's custom Murphy bed. Dinner for two or twelve, depending on where the counters end up that night. The Tucson RV park is part of the story. As Scott puts it: "This community is kind of special… it's one of the few places in Tucson where you can put a tiny house. In the city limits, you can't build a tiny house if it's on wheels. But you can if it's an RV. So we technically qualify as an RV." The Burbanks — boat people from the Pacific Northwest — landed in the desert after four years on the road visiting Susan's 93-year-old mother. The desert grew on them. They've since moved out of the rig and into this, which, as they put it, is not your grandma's tiny home. —Check our video on Scott and Susan's previous setup, their home-on-wheels "RV penthouse": https://youtu.be/9fUrJx5k0e8 On *faircompanies: https://faircompanies.com/videos/tall-couples-xl-tiny-home-1-space-infinite-movable-configurations/
