If you’re looking for a builder who builds dreams at a great price, look no further. I have always admired the homes that Compact Cottages built and have seen their ads in the local paper. I wanted to build a big home on my property and went with a local green builder but after months of my time and money they were not able to build and left me high and dry! I reached out to Barry the owner of Compact Cottages, and shared with him my story. He came to my rescue and was able to be a beautiful home with a smaller foot print. I was able to pick out the paint colors inside and out and he worked with me to make some minor customizations. The home was built in less than 8 months.Barry was always responsive to my emails and texts and he made me feel welcomed. I hired an independent home inspector and he stated that the home was well built and there was a couple of very minor punch list items that were remedied in an hour. I had several friends and neighbors come by and they admired ithe craftsmanship of the home! I couldn’t be any happier selecting Compact Cottages as my builder and would highly recommend them!
Compact Cottages just completed a one story 768 sq. foot cottage on our property. We are beyond happy with the quality and end result! Barry and his team were very easy to work with, costs were transparent and very reasonable. Communication was excellent! I also appreciate their commitment to build per green standards! I highly recommend them!
I am currently on my second build with compact cottages and I plan to continue our professional relationship for the foreseeable future. Budget and cost are always clear upfront, with no unexpected changes. Barry is always responsive and open to discussing options. I love their style and their workmanship. I would recommend them without any hesitation!

Set your budget first
RV prices range from under $10,000 for used travel trailers to $300,000+ for Class A diesel pushers. Know your number before you browse. Use SearchShop's payment estimator on any Compact Cottages listing to model monthly costs.
Pick the right RV type
Travel trailers and fifth wheels need a capable tow vehicle. Class B and C motorhomes offer an easier entry point. Class A motorhomes give the most space. Ask the team at Compact Cottages which type fits your camping style.
Inspect these on every unit
Check the roof for cracks or soft spots (signs of water damage). Open every slideout and look for seal wear. Run all appliances. Test the generator, AC, and water heater. Check the underbelly for rust or damage.
Know the weight ratings
Every RV has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Overloading causes tire blowouts and frame damage. Compare the GVWR against your intended load before committing.
Review service records
Ask Compact Cottages for any available service history. Regular maintenance records — oil changes, roof resealing, slide service — signal a well-cared-for unit.
RV loans are specialized. Knowing the basics helps you get the best deal when financing through Compact Cottages in Franklin, North Carolina.
Typical Loan Terms
10 to 20 years is typical for larger RVs. Shorter-term loans save on total interest.
Down Payment
10% to 20% is typical. A larger down payment reduces monthly costs and total interest paid.
