RE: House on wheels!!
if your intending to use it all year round is one inch insulation going to be enough?

Im working on getting pics up. Im hoping to have 2 log burners in it so hopefully that will keep it at a good temperature even in the harsest of winters

RE: House on wheels!!
I bought a used caravan off Craigslist for $1500US a couple of years back when our economy hit the skids. Folks were selling off good stuff at despiration prices. Everything works, bathroom, kitchen, furnace and water heater, and I have enjoyed it. I even lived in it short term while I was remodeling my hovel.

It is about the same size mentioned at 33' hitch to bumper and 8' wide.

It is a bit of a load to tow and spends much of its life parked in the lot and being used as a guest house.
