A couple of years ago Minimaliste unveiled the Nomad – a tiny house that is perfect for off-grid travel in all kinds of weather. The firm then rejuvenated the home with a larger design but still retained the basic essence. The improved Nomad 5th Wheel features a more spacious interior and can sleep up to five people.
It is finished in vertical steel sheets and faux wood steel. It features a length of 30.5 feet, a width of 8.5 feet, and a height of 12.5 feet. It weighs around 14,000 lb and is based on a double-axle gooseneck trailer. Let’s dive in more!
Designer: Minimaliste
You can enter the home via a motorized folding deck and French doors. It has more floor space than the original Nomad, which makes quite a difference, creating a more spacious and comfortable living environment. The living room is equipped with a sofa bed and a pretty big closet. The home also includes anchor points, since the owner will be traveling with a motorbike within the home. A small dining area is placed next to the living room, and it can seat four people. The dining area can be converted into a single bed, which is quite nifty.
The kitchen is well designed and equipped, featuring a twin stainless steel sink, propane-powered three-burner stove, fridge, freezer, oven, cabinetry, and pantry-style storage space, as well as a gun cabinet for the owner’s hunting rifle. A small bathroom is located near the kitchen, and it contains a small bath/shower, sink, and a composting toilet. The Nomad 5th Wheel only includes one bedroom which is placed in the raised section (gooseneck) of the trailer. You can enter this room through wooden steps, and it is like most bedrooms found in tiny homes. It has a loft style with a low ceiling, a double bed, and a few closets.
The tiny home is powered by a standard RV-style hookup, or it can be outfitted with a full-off-the-grid setup including solar panels and batteries. The house is designed to handle a North American winter, and it is equipped with premium-level airtightness and great insulation to help it adapt to the heat and the cold. It is priced at around US$97,500, but it could increase if you select more options.
