In this video I demonstrate how we install a subfloor on top of a tiny house trailer when we are using an insulation other than closed cell spray foam.
On average how much was spent for the finished product? I have an old cotton trailer that was used as a chicken coop. I would like to take that down since it’s old and rotten and build a tiny home! TIA 😀
Hey Dan. Thanks for this video. I'm curious about the bolt attachments of the subfloor ot the trailer frame. Are you only attaching the joists at either end to the metal flange (ie 2 bolts per joist)? Or are you also bolting the subfloor to the runner beams in the middle (ie 4 bolts per joist)?
What is the length and with of the trailer? What is the height, length and weight of the tiny house to be attached? What type of truck can reasonable accommodate this type of hauling?
This is a 24' trailer. The trailer is also 96" wide, which matches the width of the framing. The total width of the house ended up being 102". You would need an f350 class truck to tow this.
Dan how come you didn't place the insulation with the trailer framing to increase the head room? Are you not able to attach the subfloor directly to the trailers internal framing?
You can skip the subfloor and attach the sheathing directly to the trailer, however, it is very difficult to properly insulate in that case since the metal is hollow and not a good insulator.
