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?

The Ultimate Way to Live the Simple Life?

How would a house like this change your life?


Inside Nate and Jen’s Tiny House
Notice how the light shines through the ceiling in the living area of the house!

Wall Shelf Storage in the Kitchen

You can order steel Ikea shelves like the ones above from Amazon.

You can also get the utility rack for towels and such that you see above right here on Amazon. If you want those hooks, too, they’re right here.


Check out the slim ladder to access the comfortable sleeping loft above.

Best Vacuum Cleaner for Tiny Houses
I’d give the title to wireless rechargeable Dyson Vacuums, how about you?



Notice how often Nate uses the Ikea Grundtal hooks and utility racks to keep things off the floor and countertops.

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 Heater

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


Reclaimed Materials Put to Good Use
Nate and Jen went with plenty of used materials for this house including:
- the trailer (used to be an RV),
- appliances,
- building materials,
- and more!
