Camping on your land ?

Two responses have really got my wheels aturning mini mobile homes aren't as far out there as you might think. I believe now that I've thought about it they could be a very viable solution not to mention a small gold mind. Let me explain, No different than building a wooden shed except you would use all aluminum. Perhaps some of you have seen these spanky new all enclosed utility trailers running around they are attractive to look at and come in all shapes and sizes. Construction would be a piece of cake and tools required would be the same as for wood except for saw blade design. They are held together with screws and rivets nuts and bolts exteriors come prepainted or plain, floors and walls are studded and sheath, the interior would be smooth fiberglass again neat clean easy to care for. You simply contruct to a size that would slide into your shipping container and other than cabinetry that you will need in place leave the rest open enclose the far end enough for a bath and plumb out for disposal connection just like a travel trailer as a matter of fact all your interior equipment can be purchased through a mobile home dealer then you will have propotional equipment installed so it looks and fits more naturally. These little manufacturing companies are springing up everywhere why i even have a fella just down the road from me now who started about 3 years ago and you should see what he developed into its crazy they are like self storage facilities they are everywhere. Now those of you who would say why waste my time with that probably could afford one built for you and you could finish the interior the way you like. one thing for sure they won't take up any real extra room in your container as they are built to slide in perfectly and you simply fill there space with cargo. You would probabably roll into the container without the wheels on for maximum height, that way you could achieve at least a 6 ft ceiling height or go higher and opt for the high cube containers.

Here is a site from Thule who is a large producer and I believe is nation wide.
There is one pictured with specs as well.

I used to repair this sort of stuff on a bigger scale and the same for years. believe me when I say they are really easy to work with.
