Tiny House Trailers in 3D (Iron Eagle) 

Yesterday we picked up our tiny house trailer from Iron Eagle Trailers, and the next thing we need to do is design and build the floor section. This video is EXACTLY what we needed to get started on our tiny house build. Thanks so much!!!

The absolute best DIY Tiny House videos on the Web. Thank you both so much! And for the plug on Iron Eagle Trailers. I had been looking at another company, but I prefer the recessed floor. Right on! Thanks again!

Fantastic resource!

This is the best thing that has happened since I started designing my own home. Thank you!

Thanks Jake and Kiva. Enjoyed the video and appreciate the need for a plan whether you're building it yourself or having it built. Thanks for posting. Great tool.

Very inspiring. Thank you for providing these resources & tutorials. :D

This is unbelievably helpful! Thanks!! I wasn't sure how to begin planning. Now I have a place to start.

Wow.. That was impressive. Not something I could sit down and do but you did great. Looked perfect. I want my 2" of headroom back though.

Oh my gosh I needed this!!! Thank you guys so much! Great addition to the sketchup package!

Super cool!!! Thanks!!!

Excellent!!!!!

Thank you!

I wish we had trailers like these in Australia!

that's really cool Thanks!!

Good Job!!!

That's magic.

Nice work brother, awesome video! Can't wait to get one of these trailers and start mine! :D

Good stuff. Will have to check out your tutorials, it's one thing to have sketchup, it's another to make it work without spending a few weeks learning itm

Excellent! My DIY model didn't look nearly as spiffy as yours, not to mention the exacto measurements! Do the end pieces of lumber need to be notched for the piece of metal protruding into the cavity?

Great job! I just started drawing floor-plan for my micro-tiny trailer, and realised that mine trailer is only 12ft, the smallest from all of those trailers in the file. But I will make slide-out section which will convert it into 20ft. But in comparing with yours models it's look too fragile. But this is not a tiny-house, more likely i can call it a tear-drop'ish camping-box-on-wheels.

I have watched ALL of your video's and have been truly entertained by all 3 of you! I love that you raised your joists up 1 1/2" above the steel flange and the addition of having 2x6's around the edges. Is there a reason you don't mention green treated lumber for use around the flooring ares? And that you "could" apply your floor sheathing out to the edges of your 2x6's. It would be easy to mark where the bolt heads are and drill holes into your plywood. Then build a normal wall with top & bottom plates and place them directly on top of the plywood. My biggest concern with building a Tiny House is going to be figuring out how to attach a flushing toilet to my kids septic tank in a northern MN winter and freezing issues. I built houses for 8 years and it was the best job I ever had, so it was fun to watch you build and it made me realize how much I miss it. I am hoping that Iron Eagle can get a trailer a little closer to me, otherwise, it is going to be a FUN road trip! Congrats to both of you and best wishes!!

loved the video, is this the paid version or free in sketch up...? Not sure if I have missed videos from you guys or not but hope all is well and your progress is moving along have heard from yall in quite awhile keep up the great work

Who would dislike this?

Great video. How come you didn't add the height of the sill gasket? Did you reduce the height of the roof from maximum legal height to be cautious of these small extra things?

Hey guys your iron eagle trailers look awesome. Would you be able to share that with us or upload it to the 3D warehouse? I'm sure it'd really help others start designing their tiny house and help Iron Eagle get alot more business. Let me know if you'd be willing, it'd be a huge help. Thanks!

Your comment regarding approaching the construction from different perspectives got me thinking. Rather than raise the floor joists 1 1/2", one might lower them 1/2" and use 1/2" plywood sheathing. The plywood would then be flush to the top of the steel flange. Upon both the steel flange and plywood adhere a layer of rigid insulation. In addition to a good R value this would provide a flat surface upon which any number of flooring systems can be glued down. Like cement board and tile for a shower/toilet wet room, or floating laminate floor, or vinyl planks on wood underlay. Anyways, just thinking "out loud". [I wonder if that's what one calls it when posting ones thoughts in a public forum? It's not really loud at all, is it?]

Quick question... how would you install the vapor barrier with this subfloor design as opposed to the way you guys did it for your house? Would you wrap the VB just around the plywood, or around the bottom plate as well? Thanks so much for all the resources and hard work!

There is a bit of a flaw in the design displayed. The future sheathing that will go above the wheel wells will not be able to fit behind the flanges of the trailer if the design in the video above is continued. The headers that will go over the wheel-well will be going flush to the flanges (as the flanges are flush with the edge of the trailer before the wheel well - just like the demonstrated sill-plates are flush with the edge of the trailer), so there will be no 1/2" gap for the sheathing to slip in behind. The only option would be to have the sheathing to sit in front of the flange which doesn't work so well for keeping water out...the whole dimensions on this design would have to change....

I'm interested in purchasing an Iron Eagle trailer. Does Iron Eagle Trailers have a website? All I see on the links is Iron Eagle distributors in the Oregon area. I'm over in Connecticut and there are no dealers here.

what size trailer did you use for this demonstration?

So im from aus and i really like this trailer design. if i made it myself roughly the same but didnt sell it or try to make money out of the design. like maybe one day i would sell the tiny house to get rid of it. is that ok to follow this design, because iron eagle isnt all over the world and there no way i can afford to ship it here. ill probably take ideas from the design and make my own and maybe build it myself or pay someone to do it. thx if you reply :) just dont want any trouble.

Where can I get pricing on these trailers? Cant find pricing anywhere else.

I couldn't find the download with all the trailer lengths! Help me find it please!

Could anyone answer my question....What is the average size trailer of most tiny houses constructed. What was your size?... ?×?×?

Does the tiny house have to be compliant with the US building code?

You might want to be aware that all plywood is structurally designed to be installed across the joists, not parallel with the joists, as you depict. It will make for a much stronger folor when installed correctly. A tongue and groove edge supports the edge joint, no framing needs to be added. Otherwise, I love your design. Be well.

just curious why both axles are off centre, does this not place to much weight at the front

will a container fit?

how much are the 28 foot trailers

I'm designing a tiny house, and need to know how high the floor will be off the ground in order to stay under the 13.5-foot height limit. Could you tell me the height?

O: do you think these could be 3D printed from the models you made? I was looking to contact Iron Eagle to ask if they had 3D models I could print. I prefer to work in physical reality for design and planning, and was hoping to get my hands on a model to work with.

I wood around the eadge what whith is that is it 2x6 also

I was wondering why he didn't show the install of floor insulation..

Good video and although only 1% understand English , how to explain graphic is so good I can understand everything without the need to know their language, well why ✌

By going inside the trailer frame that will make for Less indoor real estate. No thanks
