ADDITIONAL FEATURES
– Dimmable recessed LED lighting throughout
– Newport wood stove by Dickinson Marine® (8000 BTU output)
– WiFi. This tiny home has two cellular antennas, a cell-signal booster, and a cellular modem. All you have to do is provide a data SIM card, which costs around $20/month for most carriers. I’ve been teaching remotely off of this WiFi in a rural area for the last year, and it has worked great.
– Four backup/sideview cameras and a viewing monitor in the cab. Backup or merge into oncoming traffic without worry. Leave it on overnight to record suspicious activity while you’re away.
– Motion-activated porch light.

DETAILS
– All furnishings made with various real woods: wall paneling is cedar, cabinet doors are maple, cabinet frames are red oak, trim is mixture of hemlock and pine
– Waterproof vinyl flooring with hardwood veneer by SmartCore®
– Insulated with 2 inch foil faced polyisocyanurate (lightweight with highest R-value per inch of any rigid board insulation)
– Windowsills framed with two small oak dowels, which allows for window plants even while on the road

OUTSIDE
– Two large chassis-welded steel job boxes
– Massive shed on back on truck for water heater, pump, and bulk storage—great place to store bikes and other large outdoor gear
– Roof deck with interior access via staircase / roof hatch. Built to standard deck specs; it’s strong enough to hold parties up there.
– The roof deck is tapered so that water drains off the sides, and there is a slot where a gutter could be added. With an added downspout, you could add a cistern and collect water to be further off-grid.

THE TRUCK
– Ford F-550 (Triton V10 engine, automatic transmission, gas)
– Three-seat cab with excellent heating / AC
– With the four backup and side-view cameras, the vehicle is easier to drive than it looks
