Cons of Building on a Trailer

There are also some drawbacks to building a Tiny House On Wheels (THOWs) on a trailer. These drawbacks might not be significant enough to deter you from choosing this option, but only you can determine that. Let’s take a look at the most common challenges associated with tiny houses on trailers.

No building codes. The lack of inspections and codes for tiny houses on wheels is a mixed blessing. Many who build their own tiny houses have limited construction experience, so technical building errors are very common. Even though you’ll save money by avoiding permit fees and save time by skipping inspections, you may very well find yourself ultimately paying more down the road. This is because mistakes that would have been caught by building inspectors may go unnoticed until a problem emerges.

Greater risk in high-wind zones. Tornadoes and other high-wind events often wreak havoc in mobile home and RV parks. Damage is usually higher there because these structures are extremely vulnerable to high winds because they aren’t attached to the ground like permanent housing.
