[@johnnyrambles]

The trailer turned out awesome! I'm curious about the spray foam, specifically the foam in the floor. It seems like it could possibly lose a lot of its function due to conduction through the steel framing. IMO foam sheeting over the framing would probably be much easier/cheaper and offer better insulation. How has it worked out and was there any particular reason it was done that way? Is that something you would do again?

[@MonikaTroyHibbs]

I'm not an expert on thermal breaks etc but what I liked about the spray foam is it gets into all the cracks that foam sheeting might not. I do agree that foam sheeting over the framing would have offered better protection but every inch matters when building the home so we didn't want to add anything to the frame. Plus we have to fasten the floor sheathing into the steel frame so that would have been putting a lot of pressure and tension on the sheeting which could lead to its own problems. Spray foam is certainly more expensive but it has worked very well through the seasons, it is very warm during the cold winters and cool in the summers. It is also dead quite inside which is another nice benefit. I'm always open to learning though so if we built again, I would do some more research before making a final decision.

Ill start off with nice little home! I am designing a tiny home for my family to enjoy, but we also own a home that we will keep for a place to expand and rest. now onto the "rant" :D Watching all of these tinyhome builds... I really wish people would take advice from or insight into the RV community. First, in such a small space, why do you still frame on 2x4" if you frame with 2x2 you gain 12sqft on a 30x8.5 home... doesn't sound like much? you havent been in a tiny home or rv... 12sqft is huge! Second, using OSB???? basically one of the heaviest materials made besides MDF, yes I see that you left yours parked... but why build it mobile and not have the possibility of moving it? changing to (gasp) no sheathing! and putting your siding directly over your spray foam that is sprayed interior paneling of 1/8" ply, reduces about 2lbs per sqft, again, ~616 sqft of walls is 1200lbs reduction! plus your half stud weight going from 2x4 to 2x2 which is another roughly 500lbs. You can tell that it is framed by a traditional stick built design because of the Header design, is your roof really that heavy that its applying load onto the windows?? NO! additional weight that is useless and MAJOR r-value losses! Get rid of the header and properly design your roof framing to align with the studs and if needed, a small spreader added to the top plate of the wall, thats it!

[@littleratastic]

[@lalalaleila817]

ty for this insight! just starting a first build and hadn't thought of these things

[@ravenlorans]

Most people are jumping on the Bandwagon and are Complete Idiots for doing so. Love going on KZbin and looking at/Watching Idiots who spend $40,000-$150,000 for "Tiny House" on Trailers, Set them Up Permanently and Say they Love them and How much they "saved"... yet you can spend $20,000-$40,000 on a Good Sized, Brand New Single Wide Manufactured Trailer and Maybe even a Double Wide.... Or even a Good Used one and Renovate it... People are Sure Stupid... Can also find those ( Rare ) ones that spend Less than $10,000 on a "Tiny House" that are on a 8x16, 8x20 ( whatever size ) Trailer and they Look Better than those who Spent the $40,000-$150,000.

[@melathomas1326]

[@larryhankison2436]

Codes are different

[@MonikaTroyHibbs]

The main reason was because we didn't have to get building permits with our local municipality so it avoided a lot of headaches and wasted time. We have since moved the tiny home to a new location it just took a lot of work to remove the deck and fence but it wasn't impossible.

It is scientifically backed so there would be no worries about the spray foam causing issues to the wood. Water causes issues to wood, so if water was to get trapped between the foam and wood, then yes you'd have a problem, but that would not be the spray foams fault. 👍

The axle rating is about 15,000 lbs. We've pretty much maxed it out because of the building materials we used and full cabinetry inside etc. If we built another one, I would either go with a triple axel or make sure to be really restrictive on what building materials we are using.

Technically it isn't permanently setup, the decking was never attached but I get your points. We looked at a lot of options before deciding to construct this on our own as we had specific needs for it to function as a retail store so going fully custom was the final decision. Plus we can now say we've built a tiny home as we did this from scratch by watching youtube videos and researching, talking to trades etc. It was a good adventure. We've already moved the tiny home into a new location as well so I'm glad it all worked.

This tiny home functions as our retail store so we rarely have to move it. Building it on wheels allowed us to avoid city building permits so that was one of the main reasons we did it.
