  • Please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE! I put out new videos twice a week which are mostly about how to build a TINY HOUSE. If your dreaming of building and hope to start one someday, this is a channel you need to be a part of. Tons of helpful content to help you on your build.

    I have recently join patreon. My goal is to start a second tiny house. One that is built with a shoe string budget which is provided by the pattern earnings. All fund from my patron account will go towards that build. The first purchase will be an old camper. So help me get there and I'll document that build as well.

    7 years and still one of the best tiny home build series.

    The finished trailer looks great, and at every step in the process! I like the close-ups of the weld when you were calculating stuff. I think you have made the best "tiny house" video I have seen. Informative, pauses to absorb info, visual (how parts were custom cut), step-by-step, 2x forward!

    I found your video while searching UA-cam for a solution to the failure of my travel trailer frame (the whole RV industry seems to use the same crappy, weak I-beam frames with low quality steel).
    - Your frame is very well built and is AWESOME! Well done!
    - You and that metal fabrication shop could create a business selling replacement frames to people like me whose travel trailer frames have cracked and broken (more than once)....just sayin’...

    Hi great job with a trailer and excellent presentation, videoing and editing.What is the total weight of the trailer. And what max weight Is it designed to carry? This has definitely inspired me to build my own. Last question; do you think it would have been better to make it out of the box section which would then make the Weld joints a lot easier to execute?

      +Jeffery Grigg Yeah. You can always make it smaller with wood. Or hang trim over to make it look smaller.

    • @jefferygrigg327
      @jefferygrigg327 8 років тому

      I thought that if I built it similar to what you did. .then I could cut the back of my cabinets to fit and then my cabinets would even set back a little more and I could still utilize for space. What is your thoughts?

    • @TinyHouseCustoms
      @TinyHouseCustoms  8 років тому

      +Jeffery Grigg Im a huge fan of the elevated floor to eliminate the wheel well all together. Not sure if you've gone deeper into the vids but my mechanical room is awesome and I think it's one of the best features in the house. But if you want those tall ceiling then yeah your idea sounds perfect.

  • @empirecases4128
    @empirecases4128 5 років тому

    What considerations were given to the axles you used, weight, how far you plan to haul, Or did you basically determine the maximum weight and bought the minimum you could get away with for the least amount? I wonder if relocating is given much consideration when building a Tiny House and the trailer, I haven't looked beyond this video so I don't know if when building your house if you thought of ever removing the house to set it on a foundation, is that ever a consideration? What is each Axle rated for?
