I Bought a CHEAP Shipping Container TINY HOME from China... and IT'S GREAT 

If you're interested in these homes, you can now get them on Amazon and eBay Amazon: vtudio.com/a/?a=tiny+home&region=us eBay: vtudio.com/a/?ebay=tiny+home

I bought 4 units of a 40 long by 20 foot wide expandable container home(as they're currently termed in our region) with an arched gabled roof and semi enclosed front porch kit for our family campground of 700 acres. 2 of them 2 bedroom and the other 2 were 3 bedroom. Unit were $12,000 a piece, minus import tax, duties, state tax etc, plus $10,000 shipping from factory in China to my property on the east coast of the US, total was $27,000 per unit. I see a bunch of these popping up by some US dealers starting at $80,000 up to $185,000. I save thousands buying direct from manufacturer even with import duties and shipping are in the high end. As of 2024, there are no manufacturer outside of China building these. Yes there are US and European companies that customize these with exterior roofing, sidings, porches etc. But as for the container module itself, it's all manufactured in China.

If you take care of them , they'll last long,just like any house, super cool I'd buy one .

Got mine delivered from Wuwi Shipping Container yesterday it was pretty cheap, i'm planning to make a small container home and i can't wait to start working on it.

Pretty good, thanks for recording this. Always interesting to see the modular options.

These have been in my country for a few years now as park homes and no one has had any issues with them...here their put on wheels (slightly smaller than this one)so can be towed from place to place when needed...they would make a great home on a life style block!!.❤️🇳🇿

I am sleeping in mine tonight. Need to move some stuff in and make it mine. Great job on yours

Thanks for making this video. Could also be a great option for off grid as well.

San Diego ca and Inglewood ca watching and being inspired - thank you for making these videos people need to know - everyone is desperate for housing and looks like you have peace of mind - that is worth more ❤

Bout to throw one of these on some land and move my family out there. Get some solar, water well and spetic going.

Love the reflective privacy doors

I wish I can own one of these! I would really love it.❤

I remember looking at these a few years back. Great if you already have land. If you don't, you're buying land, paying a lot of money to join the water and electricity grid. And suddenly you're $100,000+ for something that probably has a 20 guarantee (and less depending on where you live). They would be great for a guest house though or a granny flat

For better insulation, consider making earth walls around the outside of the structure about 8 to 12 inches thick.

Thanks for sharing your experience of a home from China yet was looking at one also .....

Loved it you did a great job!!

Tom and Ruth Philippine Adventures on youtube lives in one of these and has had it for several years now.

wow, its looks really nice. awesome buy.

WOW amazing home, I want one.

This is nice. I like it. Would make a great cabin for a pretty piece of land.

I want one of these for storage!

Good permanenr solution for homeless shelter.

Good luck with your new home❤

Plenty of potential with these units. I wonder if they can be joined together ... Cheers

Great setup as a small workshop and storage shack

Walls preventing easy hanging of shelves, etc. Is a drawback. Just like an RV. Otherwise lovely!😊

Yes I'm interested !!!

This would be a great idea to the UKs housing problem.

Just make sure you’re not in one of the many areas that have tornados, or hurricanes, like my area, and in 5/2024 Iowa just got hit w/ a horrible tornado, and say goodbye to many homes that weren’t prefabs, or mobile homes. Fort Myers, FL area has been hit 2X in the past 20 or so years, and many a mobile home was demolished., including tree, homes, and bridges.

Ive got a 6m x 3m x 2.5m foldable sandwich panel cottage set on timber foundations. Having electrical conduits everywhere looks messy and expensive imo but the worst thing i have found is condensation at night and during winter. Ive put in a reasonably inexpensive window a/c in and putting passive airvents in. The windows hold water when it rains and collects on the inside as well, ill have to upgrade these and the ranchslider. Ive added additional roof fixings and internal corner and ceiling brackets. I will have to line the outside and inside with ply, this will help maintaining a cool environment inside during summer these get brutally hot in summer and vise verser. Ill have to put etch primer on the roof and re paint as it is very lightly coated. All in all it was cheap at $6,000 and took 2 of us 2.5 days to construct.

Brilliant !!

I’m interested in one of these

so beautiful, congratulations!:) I am 23 and I am purchasing one here in california.

Sending my full support., keep safe always

Tiny homes are the future. If we are to provide affordable housing

There’s a whole lot more info and details needed for this! Website says price $5K (US) is only a deposit. No idea what total cost might be. How are they insulated? I online I see this model comes with a toilet..did you set this up with a traditional septic system? Not much info online at all!

I’m falling in ❤with dark hair girl

my budget isn't big but my family has land... may have ot do somethin like this looks comfy.

I'd buy 2 or 4 and attach them to a commons room in the center, with a skylight all down the middle. Been envisioning this for awhile. Would be 100% off grid.

Lady with the dress can get it ❤

It’s described as plastic on amazon. Shipping containers are made of metal when used for homes.

Wow that’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be. ❤

Small, private, and practical. If this has working AC and heating, it would make a fantastic AirBNB. Someone with experience could buy two, attach them, and renovate to make a two/three bedroom. It would still be cheaper than some houses on the market

I love your home

It's strange, because at least 4 of the huge Chinese companies that sell these, offer a crew to come set it up upon delivery for free in the US. Don't know why in Australia, they don't have that. Plus, this specific model comes in a huge array of wall panels (ultra-light concrete) including laminated wood, bamboo and other awesome choices . The floors as well have a bunch of different linoleum choices including gloss bamboo, stained light or dark, etc. This specific model(s) is by far, among the BEST of the modular (foldable) homes out there. You can order them with a full solar array and an external wall battery. This homes are dynamite.

Very cool! 👍🏽

5.200 NOT BAD

Can you do a write up or a video on how you handled it all? I keep getting stuck on figuring out what it costs at the docks and stuff

Nice...

Nice house. 1. Should have also video records inside the home when there is a heavy rain outside. 2. Will there be a rust issue.

The workers in the Grand Canyon have similar buildings set up down near Phantom Ranch.

So cute..❤

Come back in 5 years and see what it is like.

This is nice, a small home that is not so small, its a good size, and haw much $?- did it cost? TH

I live in ontario canada and very intereated in one of these or 2

Did you have to specifically add power package to your house or its just included ?

We re considering 2-3 of these as well.. Not sure where to start. Help!! lol

U k ow tiny home been around since the 70s. It's call a trailer park. They just make it look nicer with wood.

im contemplating selling my house and buying land to put this on so that I am 100% paid off. I wish they had electrical ran to where lights would be already though I hate raceway

now when housesand rents are pretty high in usa this seems like good alternative

something IKEA could pick up on

Her gray dress is so cute. Where can I buy it

Wow Bryce Langston must be sitting himself with competition like this

My question. Are they wired? Is the plumbing reqdy to be connected to water? Or do you have to rip the interior apart to put all of that in??

What does it come with? Like sink and toilet and electrical??

Just wondering how much it was and was shipping included?

Price? I just saw a video of one priced at $650k PHP (about $16k CAD), but that was over 4 years ago. It would be nice if the price point or range was given.

I would do an air quality test on this thing. I bet there are many…. Interesting vapors in there which might be especially harmful to kids. I’ve seen some crazy stuff (even in normal homes) - VOC over 4000 ppm, TVOC up to 10 mg/m3, which is worse than living at a gas station with open tanks. It’s not that expensive to get a professional check, I would strongly suggest you do it rather sooner than later…

Yeah they on Amazon

Very impressive. I live in a cold region of US where it snows. I would love to have one of these to make into a permanent home, how is this heated?

It even has a key!!! Is she for real?

It’s a roof over there heads and that’s all that matters 👍🏻🐨🇦🇺

How was it delivered and how was it unloaded?

I’m seriously considering one of these. The only thing that concerns me is the shipping process. How did you go about landing it in Australia, duties and fees. That part seems the most daunting.

Great escape from the main house and all of those crazy 🤪 as hell people

😂 (tap, tap, tap) "...and its gotta roof." 😅 No, that's a floor. ❤ This design is brilliant, seemingly affordable, and super cute, so what's the catch?

Hey, I’m curious to what website you bought it from ?

How much was total price, shipping and all?

Are these prefab homes insulated?

How many people do you need to build it and do you need any special equipment?

Wow! You should be a model

How much and where do I buy it? Thank you great job

I have my own property to set it on, but where does it come from?How long will it take to get to Seneca?South carolina from wherever it is coming from

Are the cabinets made of wood/is anything else made of wood or mdf? And did it have any chemical odor to you/odd smell? Thanks for the video!

Nice

I like your outfit 😊😊

Does it has insulation? Does it comes wired?

Would like some more details about the delivery

Where is the link to buy it and what is the costs?

Interested ❤❤❤

Pindan (i think it was them) were bringing these in from China when they were a new thing. They were a disaster in the beginning, the wiring and plumbing was all wrong no matter how hard they tried to impose on the build process over there. They would end up spending so long trying to rectify them in Perth and then repack for shipping that they gave up and stopped selling them. Back when these houses were 150k aud or less landed and done. The cool thing was that there were a hand full of different configurations, you could actually get a double sized version with around 4 bedrooms if I recall correctly. Obviously they would be much better now and a great option for getting a house up fast. It is great seeing this lovely person and her little one making these into a proper little home. They always had great potential but I think they were just marketed all wrong.

I would like to buy one and maybe live there until I graduate from college.

very interesting!

It's a Chinese mobile home. As long as it's cost efficient and safe. I like having Chinese products as a choice.

Great job- cost effective?

You should have a video showing how to put it together, piece by piece, in vivid detail for people like me. Then you need: Electrical Plumbing well or city water septic or city sewer And this is in England?

I want one

It's been a few months, any updates on the house? Does it hold up well?

I really wana know how is it , in heavy winter ?

This is not tiny home . It is a huge apartment for New Yorkers 😂😂😂
