The Felicia is a small, easy-to-tow tiny house designed for freedom and simple living. It can run off-grid, making it perfect for remote locations away from traditional campsites.

Designed by Sweden's Vagabond Haven, the Felicia is smaller than many North American tiny homes. It sits on a double-axle trailer and is 7.2 meters (23.7 feet) long. Buyers can choose an exterior made of spruce, engineered wood, or a Japanese charred timber finish called shou sugi ban.

The home can get power from a standard RV hookup. Owners can also choose optional roof-mounted solar panels and a rainwater harvesting system for off-grid living.

Inside the Felicia

The interior features spruce or ply finishes and laminate flooring. Its single-floor layout means no ladders are needed to reach the bed. The design skips a separate living room. Instead, it has a raised bed that also serves as a hangout space. This area includes built-in storage and a spot to sit. A wood-burning stove is also nearby.

The kitchen takes up much of the remaining floor space. It comes with a sink, a two-burner propane stove, a fridge, and cabinets.

The Felicia has only one interior door, which leads to the bathroom. The bathroom is on the opposite side of the house from the bed. It includes a glass-enclosed shower, a vanity sink, and a choice of flushing, composting, or incinerating toilet. The incinerating toilet burns waste at high temperatures, turning it into ash.

The Felicia starts at about €43,300 (around US$50,000), but the price changes based on chosen options. Those interested should contact Vagabond Haven directly for more information.
