Deciding to embark on this adventure was a no brainer. Deciding where to start was a little bit harder though.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to fork out such a large part of my budget to buy the plans offered at Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, but after a lot of thought it just felt like the right thing to do.

Until I had enough money to make that purchase, I started poking around for a trailer. It's going to be the foundation of course - I really want to make sure I make the right choice. I asked Flight to Mars (the burning man theme camp I'm a part of) about the trailers they used to build a fun house on 2 years ago. Sounds like, even though they've sat untouched for 2 years - the group wants to hang onto them. After looking at them closer, I realize they wouldn't work for what I need anyway - so that's cool.

But what do I need - that's really the question. Can I use an old travel trailer torn down to the base? Is there something special I need? Until I have the plans in hand - I won't really know.
