In this post, she’s going to tell the story of how she built it (starting with the trailer!).

This is a guest submission by one of our readers, Allen Davis, who’s sharing some recent photos of his 8′ x 12′ tiny house on the prairie from May of 2015.
Back in June of 2014 he shared with us how he built it after buying 35 acres in Colorado in an area with no building codes.
I think you’ll find Allen’s tiny house inspiring since he was able to build it in Colorado even though he lives in Alaska!

Sarah Hasting’s is a senior at Mount Holyoke College and she’s building tiny house on wheels using a 5th wheel trailer on a parking lot at school. That’s why I call it a 5th wheel tiny house.
Sarah is an architecture major and this is part of her senior project. Pretty awesome, isn’t it?
And she decided to build her THOW on a 5th wheel trailer which is known to be more stable when towing.
It’s a 200 sq. ft. tiny house design. Take a look below and learn more at the original article over at MassLive.com.
