Hi, newbie here....
My wife has been talking for ages about a caravan or mobile home and I'm not too keen on buying a van that we'd need to maintain and perhaps not use a huge amount - we're both self-employed and working 7.5 day weeks and 27 hour days.
So I'm watching George Clarke's Amazing Spaces - as you do - and I wondered to myself, "There's my heavy-duty trailer sitting outside not doing much, I wonder if I could build a demountable caravan/shed on it?"
Well, obviously I CAN build one, but then the logistics kicked in. I reckon it'd be easy enough, a few challenges to overcome but nothing major.
So out came Google, but I didn't really find any sites for self-build demountables. But I ended up here and you seem like a "matey" kind-a group, so I thought I'd join and just ask.
Obviously I can poach ideas from you van-builders as the interior, windows, etc. will all be pretty much universal, just that mine is not going to be on a self-propelled chassis.
So what do you think, am I mad??
