A park home or mobile home won't work. I already checked with planning & zoning on that.
We plan on putting up a solar system for power. His neighbor lives in a trailer and has gone fully solar; even has a windmill. Gray water tanks will go into the ground. We have huge drums for the black water and every so often will take to the dumping station in town.
Well, I won't freeze to death since I'll be right next to my brother's house; although I do have an electric fireplace I'll be using. Will insulate the heck out of the hoses and pipes and such. Have temp gauges inside, outside and underneath. Still researching what type of skirting will work best. And whatever TT I get will need to have good ventilation.
I actually went and looked at some trailers today just to get a feel for size, makes, models, floorplans. I'm in a 500 sf space now, so going into a trailer isn't going to be much of a difference for me. It was good to go look and see though. Made me think of some things I hadn't thought of before, so now I can plan better. One with a slide out would be nice, but I could do without if I can't find one I like.
I found this site while doing some research on insulating. Pretty cool info on it. Looks like they took the wheels off, doesn't it?
Also, Marine by Choice, I was told not to use hay bales or straw. Someone told me it's a fire hazard. He had a friend that did that and lost their trailer and truck in the fire.
2gypsies, I hear you on the mice/rat thing. My dog is a ratter by breed genetics. She would love it! Me....not so much! :)
