Measuring 45-ft (13.7-m)-long, the Tellico is the largest home on wheels we've seen to date. This sizable family residence offers a remarkably spacious apartment-like interior, as well as a substantial porch outside.

The Tellico from Wind River Tiny Homes is positioned as a Park Model, so is not really meant to be towed around regularly, and with a width of 12 ft (3.6 m), it would need a permit to be transported on a US road. It's finished in engineered wood siding and accessed through the 10-ft (3-m)-long porch. To put its mammoth size into perspective, the Tellico is almost three times the length of the Acorn and over twice the length of the Ellèbore.

Its interior measures almost 400 sq ft (roughly 37 sq m), a large chunk of which is taken up by an open-plan living area that makes the most of its girth. Nearest the door lies a sofa and a small coffee table. A mini-split air-conditioning unit above the door works alongside a ceiling fan to help maintain a comfortable temperature.

Further into the home is the kitchen, which is well-stocked for a tiny house and contains a fridge/freezer, a radiant cooktop and oven with a hood vent, a built-in dishwasher and space for a microwave, plus cabinetry and separate washer and dryer, and a coffee nook.

A small hallway next to the kitchen offers access to the bathroom. This features a shower, vanity sink, and a flushing toilet, plus some storage space.

The Tellico has two bedrooms. The main bedroom is located downstairs, near the bathroom. This has lots of headroom to stand upright and hosts a double bed, and some integrated storage space and wardrobes.

There's also a secondary loft space that's accessed using the same hallway and a staircase. It also features a double bed but has a low ceiling, however the firm says the ceiling is slightly higher than most other models, so it should be somewhat easier to get into bed compared to other tiny house bedrooms.

The Tellico model shown is currently on sale for US$162,000.

I'd much rather append a porch versus losing all that interior space.

My first "home" after I got married and moved out of my parents house was a 3 bedroom 16'x80' single wide mobile home.
According to a lot of the 'tiny houses' that I'm seeing now, most mobile homes could be considered simply because they have axles. Let's call this what it is, a mobile home, not a tiny house.

$162,000/400 = $405/sq.ft. Compare that to the cost/sq/ft for any stick-built house before you commit.

That's a couch in the kitchen, not a living room.
