Hi,
Did you ever end up exploring the gooseneck? I’m thinking about it myself.

Thanks,

I like this plan alot! Am thinking of building this with a friend.
Re the “house wrap” idea, it is not feasible in the rainy climate of the Pacific shore of the northwest. MOLD and mildew and rotting of the structure occur with the use of house wrap here. Inner wall insulation (Alaska package) is what folks tell me work well here.

Keep going, great work!

Hi Victoria,

Usually gooseneck trailers are super stout. 44′ is long though and would make a really heave house. I would just do some careful figuring and evaluation of the trailer to be certain the house doesn’t max it out.

As far as design, I’ve not seen a tiny house built on a gooseneck trailer, but I’m sure there are some clever ways to incorporate it.

Love to see progress photos if you go for it!

Thanks!
Michael

I own a 44 ft. gooseneck trialer, and wanted to know if I could turn it into a house?

I agree with bobechs… a canopy carport type of structure would work perfectly. What a great design. Thanks for sharing!

Do you or anyone reading on this site know someone near my location who would assist me on the cheap to design and build a small house for little cost? A house that is also inexpensive to maintain and to heat or cool? I’m seeking a small lot in Saint Paul, MN to purchase to build on. It is time the child who I have been raising had a place to call home. Apartment living gets old. We look forward to a vegetable garden and a dog. smile. If anyone can point me in a good direction it would be appreciated. –A long time ago I live in New Zealand and then Vermont and knew individuals in both geographical places who lived in houses that were about ten by eight feet. Good memories.
