Since completing my tiny house, I’ve changed my heater, hot water heater, and refrigerator. Find out what went wrong and why I decided to make the changes on today’s episode.
It's easy to write a review of your tiny house appliances when they are brand new. But what about 5 years of frigid winters and day to day use?

- Why Ethan doesn't recommend propane refrigerators for tiny houses
- What happened to Ethan's on-demand hot water heater
