A note on choosing your tiny house toilet: consider whether the house will move and whether the locations will have electric and water hookups.  Read more about tiny house toilet options here. 

Laveo Dry-flush Toilet: less expensive up front, more expensive per flush over time: about a dollar per flush.  Uses electricity to flush but no water.  Uses a disposable cartridge that includes about 15 “flushes”.  Seals waste which can then be thrown out in the trash.  Great for weekend/vacation houses.

Traditional flush toilet- use if your house will be permanently in place and directly tied into a septic or sewer system.  Uses water but no electricity.

Macerating Toilet: Use if you have water tanks.  The macerator uses water and electricity to grind up the waste into a liquid emulsion so it can be stored in the black water tank and then pumped out.  Macerating toilets are recommended for those who will be traveling with their houses.

Composting Toilet: This toilet doesn’t use electricity or water, but you’ll need a place to put your waste to compost.  Check in with your town to see if Humanure composting system is allowed.

Incinerating Toilet: Does not use water and doesn’t drain, but uses electricity to incinerate the waste. A bowl liner is placed into the bowl before use, and when the flush button is pushed, it incinerates all the waste into ash.  The ash is periodically dumped out.  Incinerating toilets use a lot of power in short bursts when “flushed”, so they are not compatible with solar power.

Choose any paint and stain colors. Choose any kitchen & bathroom fixture (as long as it meets RVIA standards).

Only available in models designed for washer/dryers.

Solar Power Systems

We don’t provide solar power, but it can be hooked up to tiny houses.  Please contact your local solar provider for a quote.  Alt-E Store has great info on tiny house solar systems.  If you choose solar power, your appliances and energy use will need to be compatible with your system.

Fold-away stairs (great for houses that travel often)

Least expensive option.

Wooden stairs; no handrail

Wooden stairs with handrail

Deck or Porch with stairs (any size): regional availability or build your own

Ramp:

ADA-compliant ramps have a 1:12 pitch, which means for a typical tiny house entryway that’s 24 inches off the ground, a wheelchair ramp would need to be 24 feet long.  This is do-able.  We’ve also parked a tiny house next to an embankment and built a 4′ bridge over the gap.  Speak to us about your accessibility requirements and we’ll work with you to come up with creative solutions.
