Newbie in East TN with a question about...

Postby trilliumgap » Thu Sep 13, 2012 6:15 pm

Howdy, I've been hanging around the sidelines here for a while and gotta say this is one of the most informative and polite forums I've ever seen. Thanks for that.

I am just in the planning stages probably using a 4x8 tractor supply trailer that I already own. I have also been scouting around at Tiny House forums and have seen some neat little houses with thin corrugated galvanized shed roofing (the type Lowes and HD sells). Has anyone ever experimented with corrugated metal for sides and / or top of tiny trailer?

Welcome to the forum.

Well that is a good question, and yes is the answer. I know of one that was made with thin corrugated galvanized shed roofing. The whole thing is made from that. The owner made it for a show where the theme was Rust of something like that. I do a few picture or one that was sold on Craigslist as well.

Sorry I can’t give you any more info about the campers. Maybe someone else will see this and chin in on who’s campers these were.

Hey Trilliumgap,
welcome to T&TTT! Eastern Tn :thinking: That would put you close to Wv. If you want to get ideas and meet some of your fellow Tn's, you should come to our 3rd annual Fall Foliage Gathering Oct.26-28 here in Summersville, Wv. We have 18 reservations so far with more to come. We have several from the Tn group of TearJerkers bring their homebuilts, and it's a fun time. More info on TearJerkers.net under the Mountaineers of West Virginia chapter.

Thanks for all the information. I live in Blount County,TN near the Great Smoky Mountains Nat. park. Looking forward to the day I can go camping in my home built tiny trailer!
