Tumbleweed Tiny Homes
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Yes. This one is still open.
What happened after
Tiny home / park-model RV manufacturer; still built at its 20,000 sq ft Colorado Springs factory, billed as largest tiny-house RV manufacturer in North America.
What happened on the show
Tumbleweed Tiny Homes was a Colorado manufacturer of tiny houses that had run itself into serious trouble, carrying more than a million dollars in debt with staff morale at rock bottom. The root cause was leadership, an owner whose weak direction had let the company drift into the red and demoralized the people building the product. That put it squarely in the Profit mold, a business with a genuinely appealing product, since tiny homes were having a cultural moment, undone by the way it was run rather than by what it made. Marcus's work on a manufacturer like this typically meant imposing financial discipline on the debt, rebuilding the production process and the chain of command, and giving a checked out workforce a reason to believe the company could be turned around. The raw materials of a viable business were present, which is exactly why the show took it on.
After the cameras left
Tumbleweed is still building. The tiny home and park model RV manufacturer still operates out of its Colorado Springs factory, billed as the largest tiny house RV maker in North America, with the factory location unchanged per local tourism and tiny home coverage. One oddity worth noting, a contact number on the site carries a Wisconsin area code, which may point to relocated ownership or a call center, but the manufacturing base itself appears intact. Confirmed operating as of 2026, high confidence.
