Tiny houses after divorce: why women choose this housing

Older divorced women are increasingly moving into tiny house communities. In one such village in the Netherlands, about a third of residents are older divorced women. The main reason is financial hardship after divorce: while they have cash from selling the marital home, they cannot get a mortgage or rent due to low income. Tiny houses are cheaper and often bought with cash, making them an affordable option.

Hanroad Switch: French camper van based on Renault Trafic offers up to seven seats, but with trade-offs

The Hanroad Switch, based on the short Renault Trafic (5.10 m long, 2.00 m high), starts at €46,900 in France for the base version with four seats and two berths. An optional upgrade to seven seats costs €2,100 but cannot be combined with the removable kitchen unit. For four-person camping, the Essentiel pack (€2,500) adds a lower bed (117×192 cm), a 27-litre compressor fridge, and a 2,000 W diesel heater, bringing the price to €49,400. The Premium pack (€50,650) includes a kitchen, 100 W solar panel, and awning. Hanroad does not publish kerb weight or payload, which is critical when carrying seven occupants.
