A Local Family has Built their home on this small trailer which is still on wheels!
The Schultz family has built their home on a tiny 8′ x 14′ foot trailer. They can hook up a truck and move it anywhere they need.
About 4.2m tall and less than 2.5m wide, the house can be towed by a truck and the family can park at their leisure, unfolding the two veranda roof shades to enjoy their scenery.
“This is really the future,” Mr Schultz said.
“We’re not chewing up fossil fuels and the power we’re using is from the sun.”
Solar panels, a Japanese-style bath tub, a composting toilet, two loft beds, a chill-out zone, kitchen and pull down kitchen table are just some of the features.
With the tiny house movement gaining momentum in the U.S. you may be seeing these driving down the backroads near you.
The self-taught builder got electricians to come in to assist him in fitting out the AC power.
“The house is powered by 330 amps/hr by batteries under the floor, for lighting and the fridge,” he said.
Designing the house was easy, he said, using Google’s 3D drawing program SketchUp.
He learned to weld at the Echuca Neighbourhood House and included a “radiant barrier” in the walls to keep the house cool.
