There would be zoning issue, too, with that set up. Something to consider, though.

With that particular "home" it looks like he's getting around some stuff by having it on wheels, therefore technically a travel trailer.
Of the small prefab houses I'm interested in the original wee houses or Rocio Romero's LV Series. Both seem comfortably livable, assuming we are willing to let go of our Western devotion to the clutter of stuff. As a minimalist, I think I could do it.
