For extreme tiny house living check into teardrop trailers.
“These sweet pint-sized campers featured in Sunset are from Vacations In A Can; they enjoy bringing the “old” style of camping back and can tell you about the teardrop style’s many benefits — less packing and better sleeping, to name a few!”

Here’s an excellent example of what can be done with an old trailer. Nice work Tiffany!
“Tiffany was given the 52-year old trailer, “Audree” as a gift from her husband, and she soon became “obsessed” with fixing her up. Rather than completely gutting Audree’s interior, Tiffany strove to keep much of the vintage interior intact, such as an enamel icebox, 1950′s grey speckled flooring and aqua counter tops. She then designed the interior in keeping with the vintage feel of the trailer, and the result is a cheerful space that looks incredibly welcoming.”

A trailer can make a nice tiny house alternative – especially if you plan to be on the move. Rebecca shares this example on trailerchicgirls.com.
“Casita trailers are a nice travel option, and they advertise to be lightweight and fuel-efficient. New ones start at $14,000, but our neighbor was able to find his for $5,000. He did a little renovating inside, mostly on the cabinets; replacing the old ones with new dark mahogany-stained ones.”

A story of extreme downsizing under duress… with a happy ending.
“I had two weeks to make this 450 square foot aluminum tube livable. My wonderful friends helped me around the clock – sorting, organizing and selling my things, painting every interior surface of the trailer, replacing all the flooring, and moving me in.”
