I envisioned adding a slightly longer kitchen with maybe a washer/dryer all in one under the cabinet, but i don't know what i would do with an extra 4' on the other side (with the bathroom). ps my dream home (tumbleweed of course) includes a range + oven, mini fridge and a sink in the kitchen thats about all I really use anyway.

"you cant extend beyond the bed of the trailer." they where not asking about extending beyond the trailer bed. they where aking about using a different size trailer and either adding a porch for a larger trailer or eliminating one on a smaller trailer. and as far as the steel studs go why not? why dont you take a look at featherlite trailers "Featherlite trailers are made with all aluminum frame and skin". as long as it is braced and fastened correctly I.E. cross braces and rivets i say go for it you shouldnt call people morons when you cant even read posts correctly or have the knowledge to support what you are saying.

In fact with the longer trailer, the axles are going to be further back, and your porch doesn't add much weight compared to the rest of the house so it would actually be safer to do it this way. I would love to see your house when it is finished! Thanks. Yes, as long as 60% of your weight is at the front of the trailer [forward of the axles] you can add the space just fine.

There isn't much weight being supported back there and so long as you have 60% of your weight on the front of the trailer you could do it no problem. Just move your lights and license plate to the back of the house and build on!

Do you want it fall apart the first turn you go around? You cant extend beyond the bed of the trailer, morons. Steel studs? Do you want it fall apart the first turn you go around?
