  1. Nice building – well made. Personally, I find the interior very dark and with a smaller space, the use of brighter/lighter colours to imply space and light is important, so I’d have gone brighter. Also nice to see an AirHead compost loo – the original and better than the Natures Head (don’t need to open the solids compartment to empty the urine container etc).

    • I’m with you on the interior darkness. We are planning on building a tiny home, and are going to opt for white paneling and naturally colored wood on floors and ceiling. I think the wood colors fight too much in this example. Way to imposing, and I imagine it would close in on you after a while.

  2. I wonder if anyone has weighed this completed unit? Just looking at the beautiful construction and all the gorgeous add ons… and the incredible use of reclaimed (heavy) lumber, it would appear that not a single thought was given to not exceeding the maximum gross weight, nor for the maximum tongue weight (between 12 and 13 percent of the gross weight of the trailer). Or… hopefully I am wrong on all the above. Maybe the builder was able to find hollow lumber?

    Its the Cider Box, when we finished this house and delivered it to the customers house it down poured on us the whole time, it was slightly miserable. Anyways we went and had some Cider’s later that day and that’s when it came to me.

    Thanks for all the nice comments, its encouraging!!

  4. they aint gonna tell u how much it cost. they want to suck u in first. price is probly astronomical…although i love it looks great and is so diff from general rv’s…. it probly sucks ass to tow between aero dynamics and weight distribution….. id rather buy a rv that is ment for the road. im sorry but wood houses are not ment to be hauled around

  5. If it cost $40,000 for 126 sq. Ft. that equals $256 a sq. ft. !!!!

    Come on people, don’t get lost in it’s “cuteness”.

    At that price, it would cost $256,000 for 1000 sq. ft. !!!

    I could build these all day long for a few years and then retire on the profits.

    There are much less expensive alternatives out there…
