A new kind of 5er?

NPR doesn't really say so, but this thing really is a 5er and not a 'tiny house'!!

    Yeah - if she wants to move it like a RV, she probably will need help with those stairs.

    In addition, I wonder if it is insure able,will be able to licensed and if it will hold up to travel.

    If she doesn't want to move it,why bother with a FW frame?

    I commend her for her effort.


    I'd guess (like much of the rest of the "tiny house movement", she has no plans to move it, ever.

    They are using the 400 sq ft regulation.

    It's clever - but why didn't she just buy a used 5er?
