Aaron,

Way cool man. What are you going to do with it once it’s done? Is it like a fifth wheel? Or does it get parked somewhere? Again, very nice, very impressive.

Thanks Brian. I appreciate the positive feedback. It’s built on a standard ball-hitch trailer. It will end up on my land in West Asheville. I’ll take it out from time to time to shows, festivals, workshops, etc to spread the tiny house love.
Cheers-
Aaron

Aaron,

Fantastic work; I am particularly fond of the essence of gypsy caravan that you have distilled into this thoroughly modern project. I came across it on Architizer, which has $75 listed as the cost of materials. Fanastic. Do you make the plans available for others across the pond?
