What do you think of my 'park model' trailer design?

    Park models have to be under 400sf and are classified as RVs so you pay no property tax. Good luck finding land to put it on cuz most localities won't let you live in an RV. You'd probably have to rent a section of someone's larger property or put it in an RV park. Tiny homes have the same problem. More sensible to just go with a trailer even if you don't need the room. Lots of rural areas are zoned for them.

    It's a good try. The yellow thing doesn't look like it would offer much shade, a fabric canopy which extends further would be nice so you can sit outside when it's raining. The bedroom bugs me because the bed is in the corner, not centred, and because you can't see out windows from your bed. You can use curtains for privacy. I'm not sure about the toilet being right next to the bathtub but idk where else you could put it. I wouldn't have the kitchen take up so much space. In the living room I wouldn't have that little window next to the sofa, who is going to crane their neck that way? The living room should be bigger. Where's the space for a bookcase?

    I wouldn't have a T.V in the bedroom, would have a window there instead but if that's not possible can the ceiling of the bedroom be a window?

    A 4' overhang or trellis is ideal for south facing windows. Blocks all the summer sun and lets in all the winter sun. If you want more shade on the deck, plant a tree or get an umbrella.

    The bedroom is only 9'x11'. Best to put the queen size bed in the comer and leave 4' for dressing. Let the more nimble person sleep next to the wall (which some people like).

    People often make the mistake of creating window views for people in bed. It's usually dark or you are asleep. Better to have views for people who are awake dressing or at the desk. I like using 3'x6' double hung windows in modern architecture. They are cheap and let you see the ground and sky. They open at the top and bottom so create ventilation even if the are they only window in a small bedroom.

    The people sitting on the sofa have views out of two 6' sliding doors.

    It's normal to have the toilet next to the tub in a small bathroom. Or even in a medium sized one.

    BTW, I would put recessed coat hooks in the hall.

    I'd probably put a computer there. Use a 32" (or larger) 4K TV as a monitor.

    There are solar panels (optional) on the other side of the wall.

    This type of setup is really only feasible on a large plot of land with a other structures such as a kitchen area or showers/latrines especially if you're talking about anything more than single occupant residency. and usually it's only really worth it just to have a place to stay while you build a cabin and work the land. If goal is to save money or live simply you'd be way better off with a small apartment, renting a cabin, or just living out of your truck.

    and for anyone interested in these types of living arrangements it would behoove you to keep in mind the last thing you want to do when living in a space the size of a shoebox is cook and shit inside of it.

    As I said, I think it's better to go with a trailer, if only because you can find plenty of land zoned for them. I honestly think the "tiny house" fad is part of an attempt to get whites to not have kids.

    Here's my modern trailer for a family of five. You could squeeze in even more kids with triple bunk beds. Carports are a great rainy day play area. 76'x16' is a common large trailer size.

    Sketched on graph paper. Never got around to putting it in software.



    $90K + $60K for the carport, deck, well and septic + $50K for the land = $200K, optimistically. If they put in a wind farm or dump "immigrants" near you, move it.
