Due to a big (and nice) change in life direction, my tiny house building project is regretfully cancelled. I'm planning to sell my trailer and collected materials. It's a great starter package, will save on time spent collecting materials and prepping the house foundation. Here are the details:
- the trailer was custom built for my project by The Trailerman in Abbotsford. Very solid steel trailer, 22' long 8'4" wide platform, double drop axle to allow for more height inside the tiny house, rated to 10 000 lbs gross vehicle weight, with welded-on attachment points for house framing. Lights, electric brakes. This is a strong tiny house foundation! Not designed to be used as an RV, but for very occasional moves.
- I attached sheet aluminum flashing to the bottom of the trailer to protect from rodents, insects and road grime, as well as to keep insulation under the floor contained and protected. The flashing is well caulked at the seams with butyl caulking, and screwed to the underside of the trailer at many points.
- I also bolted/screwed 2x5 boards to the trailer cross members as attachment points for the floor decking.
- I have carefully installed floor insulation in the trailer cavity, depth of 5". It is Durafoam at the bottom and Roxul on top of that.
- Trailer with flashing, attachment boards and insulation: $8000

I'm currently storing the trailer, leftover insulation and plywood (under cover and well wrapped with tarps) in Richmond. All the other materials are there as well.
Trailer with flashing, attachment boards and insulation is $8000. Other materials at listed prices. If you would like all together (or most, we could work that out), it would be $9000 (25% savings over buying all materials individually).
