RonWBasser Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 There was a lot of talk and pictures of a basic house on this thread, not specifically for sleeping in though. http://www.fishingminnesota.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1731960/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 For trailer transport I wouldn't go bigger than 8x12. If you want bigger I would go with a wheel house. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungdeflator Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Does anybody tip theirs over onto skies? Im thinking of making the floor detachable and just tipping it on skies to lighten the load a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_metro_fish Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I started reading that thread on basic houses because I am planing to build something with my friend this summer. I was wondering if it is easier to convert a old camper into a house. If so what is the best kind to build one out of? My friend was talking about a truck topper camper being available.

BoxMN Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would first measure the trailer to haul it, and then go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombia21 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 how much would it cost to build a 8x12 rough estimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I was considering building a skid prior to purchasing my wheel house.I was thinking 8x14 and my math had the house built nicely for $2300 or so..... but I have never claimed to be awesome at math!

WingDing2 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 This 8x14 cost a little over 2k and I got some materials for free like the Tyvek and the door ect. ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombia21 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 would roll on truck bed liner work good on the outside instead of siding because i have a lot of that from the project i have been doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
