Mobile Log Cabins
One of my readers, Schaun, saw one of these rolling down the highway in Colorado and later sent me a tip on this tiny house manufacturer.
They don’t provide a lot of information on their website but they the cabins look like the real deal mounted on something like a mobile home trailer. So for someone looking for a turn-key log cabin this might be an excellent option. Thanks again Schaun!
