This is Nate and Jen’s tiny home on wheels. It originally started out as a camper that Nate bought which they later dismantled, refurbished, and built this beautiful tiny home on.

The trailer is 8’3″ by 24’10” and he used 2x4s instead of 2x8s for floor joists to decrease the home’s weight. Isn’t it incredible how simple a home could really be if you go back to the basics, sort of like this?

Why a Tiny Home on a Trailer?

I was going to ask Nate what drew him to building a tiny house, but then I found out why on his blog:

  • To save money
  • To be nomadic
  • To live simply
  • To be outside more
  • To be adventurous

Resonates, doesn’t it?

Clear Roof in a Tiny House?

Nate used a special material which I’ve asked him about (come back later for update) for a clear roof/ceiling which is pretty awesome.

Dickinson Marine Heaters are a little pricey but they work great in these homes since they’re really made for marine use.
