Choosing between a Tiny House trailer and an RV

[i'm nobody]

I have spent years working seasonal jobs and I am tired of packing my life into boxes every few months just to live in poorly kept employee housing. I want to finally move into a home on wheels so I can take my own space with me whenever I head to a new job site. My main struggle is deciding if a tiny house on a trailer is better than a motorized vehicle like a van or a motorhome. A tiny house feels more like a real home with better insulation and nice finishes but it is much heavier and harder to tow frequently. On the other hand an RV is built for the road and might save me money on gas and maintenance since it is more aerodynamic. I am looking for advice from people who move two to four times a year to see which setup is actually easier to live in full time. Is the extra comfort of a tiny house is worth the trouble of hauling a heavy trailer across the country?

Consider a fifth wheel trailer if you want a middle ground between a house and an RV because they are easier to tow than standard tiny houses.

Remember that tiny houses are often built with residential materials like drywall which can crack if you move them too often.

Look into van conversions or box trucks if you want something that is easy to park and drive in tight spaces.

Check the towing capacity of your truck because most tiny houses are very heavy and require a one ton diesel engine to move safely.
