Tiny Dumpster House Trailer
This is the tiny Dumpster house trailer i built for my son, The trailer was originally my dads old tent trailer that was repurposed into a utility trailer and then into this.
The Base Trailer Rebuild
The trailer was in bad shape so i reinforced it with new 2" x 3" rectangular tube and angle iron. I welded it all together and welded it to the base of the trailer.
The Frame and Walls
This is the frame Build and insulating the walls
I skinned the outside of the trailer in green aluminum and added some pickup fork points for the authentic dumpster look. I also added a outside access point for getting power into the unit.
Pop Up Windows
I added windows Dumpster style with screen and drop down plastic for those cold nights. The mechanism is very effective in that one person can open it or close it
Tight Squeeze
This is me measuring twice and cutting once lol
Inside Amenities
Inside i built a fold down table\bed, side fold down tables and upper storage on one side of the trailer. As well i added a power source inside with a inverter and a solar panel that is removable. I have 3D printed some side lights and some other pc for the fold down table. I bought a mesh for the door to keep the bugs out.
