Many people are interested in Transportable housing because they want to transport their homes anywhere. Transportable homes have been around for a long time. However, there is still some confusion about what transportable products are and how much they cost. In this article, we will talk about transportable building products that you can affordably transport!
What should I know about this?
All transportable are mobile homes, but not all mobile homes are transportable. Transportable housing has been around for a long time. The earliest mobile home was built in 1636 by George Coppin of England. They were called “caravans” and were used to transport wealthy people when they traveled so that they would feel more comfortable than if they had stayed in an inn (a place where travelers could pay to stay overnight).
The first transportable house was made out of wood and canvas fabric glued together using pegs instead of nails or screws like modern construction is done today. It had four wheels on it, making it easy to move even though some weighed over tons! The design became more advanced, and transportable homes were made of steel or aluminum instead of wood.
Transportable homes are also called “motorhomes,” “caravans,” “trailers,” and even just plain old campers, which is a word that might be confusing to some people because not all transportable housing products can be taken camping.
Today, transportable housing comes in many different shapes and sizes. One can fit into the trunk of most cars! This includes but isn’t limited too: tiny houses on wheels (THOWs), travel trailers (TTs), fifth-wheel trailers (FTVs), truck camper shells/caps, RVs, or recreational vehicles, and even transportable homes.
Transportable products are built out of steel, aluminum (RVs), fiberglass (some RVs) but can also be made with wood like they used to make them in the olden days! This is expensive, though, because transportable houses must meet building codes that require more materials that don’t cost too much. Mobile builders will never use sub-standard material since it’s dangerous for everyone involved if one happens to break down on an interstate highway where there isn’t a roadside assistance plan.
The great thing about transportable is that some people who go camping might want something more permanent than just sleeping under the stars so you can easily buy land near a lake or in the mountains, transport your house to that location and then enjoy being surrounded by nature.
Transportable houses are clean too! They don’t have mold issues because transportables are built on concrete slabs. You can leave a window open all year round without worrying about it getting wet inside when there is heavy rain outside. Clean living areas also mean no dust, which makes transportables ideal for asthmatics suffering from allergies, too, since they aren’t exposed to allergens found in traditional homes like pets, pollen, etc.
We hope this information has been helpful to you.
