This is the story of David Rule and how he’s building his dream tiny house for less than $8,000.
He started by buying a used car hauler trailer along with whatever tools he needed and he just started getting to work and learning as he went. The result? His very own self-built, affordable tiny home shell.

The Alpine 2.1 by Den Outdoors is proof that a small house can feel anything but small. At 920 square feet, this two-bedroom modern home pairs a compact footprint with dramatic 24-foot ceilings, walls of glass, and an open, light-filled layout that lives far larger than its square footage suggests.
Unlike a one-off custom build, the Alpine 2.1 is a purchasable plan set — a design you could actually build on your own land. With a main-level guest bedroom, a lofted master suite, a full bathroom with a soaking tub, and a real staircase instead of a ladder, it’s a small home designed for comfortable, full-time living. Let’s walk through it and look at the design ideas worth borrowing.
