ByThe tiny house firm Escape has just released the so-called Traveler XL Limited, which is an upgraded and expanded version of their 2015 model of the same name. The new model is bigger than the original and can sleep up to 10 people, which is very impressive for a tiny house.
The Traveler XL rests atop a triple-axle trailer and is 30 ft (9.1 m) long. The interior measures 344 sq ft (32 sq m). The home features plenty of large windows, which let in lots of light, making it appear even more spacious. Much of the ground floor is taken up by the living area, which includes a sofa bed. Next to this is the kitchenette, which features regular-sized appliances, including a fridge and a range cooker. There is also a good amount of counter space and a sink.
The bathroom is located on one end of the tiny house and is big enough to contain a 5 ft (1.5 m)-long tub, which is impressive. It also has a toilet, sink, and cabinet, and enough space to install a washer/dryer unit.
The standard configuration of the home has 2 bedrooms. The master is on the ground floor, with enough headroom to stand up in. The second bedroom is in a loft, which is accessible via a ladder. The company offers the option of adding a second loft, which is large enough for several beds. In this case, and with the sofa bed, the house is big enough for ten people to sleep in. This would get a bit cramped, I imagine, but it is still quite a feat to get that much sleeping space out of a tiny home.
They also offer a number of add-ons to take this home off the grid. They offer two solar power packages. The first has a 500 W solar panel array connected to a 200 Ah battery storage unit. They also offer a version with a 1 kW solar panel array linked to a 400 Ah battery storage unit. The home can also be ordered with a normal RV hookup for electricity, and customers can choose to install a composting toilet.
The standard version of the Traveler XL Limited costs $98,112.
