Hi Alex and Tiny House Newsletter readers, I’ve recently completed (and sold) a 20′ shipping container conversion.
I did it all almost on my own with the exception of electric and plumbing, working out of a storage unit and wanted to share it with you.
It’s just under 160 sq. ft. and has a full kitchen, bathroom with toilet and shower, flat screen TV, and more.

I think this is beautiful. It’s perfect “as is” but appears as though the builder designed it to allow the buyer to tweak and modify it in a-hundred different ways. Assuming this is 8′ wide and at least 8′ high I’d actually put a wider mattress on a platform widthwise verses length, high enough to allow for a sitting area underneath with a low-sitting love seat style couch or 2 chairs. I love the french doors. Beautifully done and selling for a reasonable price.
I love the simplicity of this and think that this is beautiful AND something that I could live in.
You are an artist!
Your BauHaus simplicity is peace for the soul.
If you keep creating like this, you will grow a great clientele following.
Thank you for adding beauty by keeping it all purely simple.
I totally agree, Sarron, thanks so much for the kind words he definitely deserves the recognition
HI, what is the total weight please?
Just looking at the axles, 3 3500# axles equals a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,500#s. That means it can’t weigh more than that, not necessarily what it does weigh although I’d say it’s pretty close to that.
So, no information at all? Is it on a flatbed? Tounge? Gooseneck? Flat back lorry?
I love tiny houses! And have dreamed of building (with help) my own for over 10 years. I’m 75 raising 4 grand kids but they are growing up and will, hopefully, be on their own soon. This site is inspiring! Thanks so much
Thanks Barbara!
So nice! Would’ve more photos and details. (I hope Barbara Marsh gets to follow her dream. I LOVE living in MY tiny home.
We lived in these 4-man conversions in Iraq… except for full kitchen (microwave only) & bathrooms. Toilets & showers were in separate “common” converted containers. Covered them with camouflage netting & tarpaulins to keep cool (+90°F vs 130°!)…
I really like this house. I am wanting to do something similar with a 40ft high cube on a 44ft long trailer with a goose neck. Has anyone here had any experience with such a project?
Thanks!
Hey I was thinking of doing the same have you followed thru with is ? If so do you have pics?
awesome build, do you have contact details for this builder? i have questions about the trailer design and build to move the container.
Hey Alex!
Do you have any more pics of this Shipping Container on Wheels?
It looks like something I’ve been looking for and planning!
Hubby & I are moving to vancouver island and just purchased a single axel tractor & 40′ trailer. We’re looking to convert the trailer to a tiny home. Any info available on the plumbing & electrical schematics.
Love this! Do you have the builder’s contact info?
So I am wanting to do s shipping container conversion for a hunting cabin on some land I have. I know insulating the container is a must and can be tricky with condensation issues. Is there any way to insulate the container without framing the structure on the inside? I feel like that cuts into the already tight space inside a container. Thanks.
Hi Todd — Maybe this will help? http://www.containerhomeplans.org/2015/03/5-methods-to-insulate-your-shipping-container-home/ — Tiny House Talk Team
Can you find out how he put it on wheels? I mean the process. I’m very interested in creating one for my mom who has dementia.
Thanks
