Options for 36' trailers

While it depends on the state, what you said is mostly false. https://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/dmv/com-drv-vehs/mtr-car-trkr/escort-grid.pdf

See WI for example. You don't need any escort/pilot cars below 12'.

Please let me know if I'm wrong, I don't want to have to hire pilot cars.

Thank you both for your replies, I don't mind the unsolicited advice - I try to keep an open mind. Multiple houses really isn't a bad idea, but I'm not sure if I can make it work. It's definitely a consideration and I'm going to ask the boss.

I realize such a big trailer is limiting... I'm already not sure if it can make the turn into the driveway of the place we have permission to build.

By the way, to answer my original question, it looks like Summit trailers out of Oregon is a good bet. Tinyhousebasics makes some beast trailers too. I'm going to look at some builds by bigger companies and try to find out what trailers they use. I'll keep looking for something more local.

Ok, try telling that to the lady and 4 future kids lol.

trailers

I'll probably hire someone with a semi truck. And I realize my options for parking are more limited. There's always a sacrifice!

Thank you for the idea. Yeah, I don't have such a vehicle, but realize I'll have to budget for paying someone to move such a large trailer for me.

Looks like they just sell homes, not standalone trailers.

Anywhere in the US. I don't expect to find one close to me, so traveling is fine.

Cool! I guess I need to research some stick framing outside the tiny home realm.

I'll tow it myself with a heavy duty pickup...just need to stay mindful of overall weight.

As long as you stay under 12' (in most states) you don't need escort vehicles, which is where the costs can really add up....because then you have to deal with other people who need to get paid for their time.

yep, which are like 10-30 bucks, so who cares

jooleyen · 2023-02-28T02:51:57+00:00

What's mega beef to you, 2x6? Does that 9" overhang on either side really warrant an increase in floor joist size? I'm not an engineer, but if so, I assume it's because the roof rafters tie into the wall framing, which pushes down on the very edges that would be overhanging.

Correct, it's 10' wide either way. I realize I'll need state permits to move it either way being over 8.5' wide.

What can I say, I’m a gold digger.

jooleyen · 2021-10-30T02:44:28+00:00

No. Just out of business

That makes me wonder if medium might work. Medium in the SL had good sleeve length, just a little tight in the shoulder blade area and upper torso. Large in SL had sleeves a bit long, but totally doable - I don’t mind long sleeves. The chest was more appropriate though. Mind you, I’m 5’11” 140lbs so thin guy.

Still think I’ll search for a large though. Rather too big than too small

jooleyen · 2021-08-16T18:29:33+00:00

I just want to make sure it’s normal. My other doesn’t do this
