A 23-Ft Two-Dormer Cabin-Style THOW with Twin Sleeping Lofts

Dormers are rare on tiny houses on wheels, because every inch of height is fought for against the 13’6″ road limit. This Massachusetts build fits two of them — and that is what makes its twin sleeping lofts genuinely usable rather than crawl spaces, since a dormer buys headroom exactly where you sit up in bed.

It measures 23’4″ by 8.5 feet, finished in wood inside and out for a proper cabin feel, with a kitchen, a sitting area, a pull-down eating table, and a bathroom with a shower.

Editor’s note: this home was listed at $39,999 in 2021 and has sold. Current listings are linked below.

Why Dormers Matter on a THOW

  • Height is the scarcest dimension. Road limits cap you at 13’6″, so a dormer is one of the only ways to buy headroom without breaking the law.
  • They make lofts sit-up-able. A dormer over the bed is the difference between a bedroom and a shelf you slide onto.
  • Two lofts double occupancy cheaply. Far less costly than the extra length a second bedroom would need.
  • The trade is roof complexity. Every dormer is more framing and more flashing — more places for a roof to leak if it is done badly.

      Robert, when I sold my first tiny house, the lady who bought it had to move it from High Point, NC to Raleigh, NC, so we called a hauling truck company who sent out a 250 toyota tundra (overkill I think) and hauled it, manuevered it up her drive, leveled it, and set it up in her backyard for around $457, I think. It’s been a while, but I remember thinking it was a good price. It only took about three hours total, so you might want to call a trucking company hauling type business, or you can check out a local utility shed hauling company because they have the heavy trucks that can pull very large sheds on trailers, and their prices might be cheaper, and if they only have to hook up a truck and not use a trailer, then they might really give you a good price. Just make sure whoever you use is bonded and insured.

    It’s very nicely built! I love the wood pallet walls, and the kitchen cabinets are really pretty. Where ae the ladders to the lofts? This is a nice build and a good price. Good luck selling it!

      Good point about the ladders…hopefully they are included but a good question to ask.
