Shipping Container Homes

There is one under construction just over the border in NH. I don't think you can build one in some areas in Maine.

Par4QC They look nice. In pictures. But keep in mind they are very narrow, esp. after putting in insulation and walls. A 1960 mobile home...'trailer' is wider.

I have seen a lot of these built on various shows on TV. They are indeed very unique but most of them spending a lot more than just buying a nicely equipped camper with slideouts or a mobile home. I think some factory build cabins that are delivered to your site are a better buy as well.

Amazon sells a tiny house that looks pretty nice. My first home purchase was a 900 sq ft 2 BR home. 1 bathroom.

sdandrea1 Free shipping for a shipping container.

Typhoon Ships itself, can't get better than that. Arrange for others to add things inside and it will pay for itself. Even better.

Typhoon I’d love to do one up in our backyard for the kids to live in

More like for the wife to live in

KCee So if you live in a shipping container in CT and want to visit your inlaws in AZ for awhile can you ship your house there and then back? Seems like a great way to snowbird?

Better yet, put your container home permanently on a flatbed trailer . Time to snow bird, hire out a Cummings diesel tractor/driver.

azgreg duh, more packing peanuts, how else?

sdandrea1 I like that idea…stay in the container during the move too. Just have a trap door for pee and poop.

Imagine being in one of those during a hailstorm?

Typhoon I always liked the show Shipping Wars, can be another couple shows shipping people in their home. What can go wrong?
