my early research suggests that campers lose their value before motor homes, and tiny homes and containers hold their value longer. that could be the novelty factor at work, i wonder what your observations and thoughts are on the subject.
Those tiny homes are very cute but they look like they'd be harder to tow. If you're going to always go to the same vacation destination, then I think they could make good sense. They're just like having a small cabin to stay in.

The whole purpose of a camper or RV is that they're easily towed -- if you want to travel around, visit and stay a while in different places, then the camper or RV works better.
