Living Room

The "living room" is flooded with light from all of the windows surrounding the front of the house. The stainless steel fireplace warms the house amazingly well. The nook is large enough to store a day bed, futon, or small couch. Above the living room is a cathedral ceiling which makes this space feel very large.

Kitchen

This is the largest kitchen of all of our houses on wheels. It comes with a sink, 2 burner stove top, refrigerator, and ample shelving. Below the sink, there is a small water heater. There is enough space that you can choose between a small toaster oven, microwave, washer/dryer, or dishwasher if you choose.

Bedroom

The bedroom is in the loft. It is large enough to fit a queen size bed, but with that said, this house is a little small for 2 people. The mattress is foam (or like kind) so that it can be rolled up and fit through the loft opening. The loft also has shelving for clothing. At its peak, the loft height is 3'-8".

Bathroom

The bathroom has both a toilet and a separate shower. The shower water is heated from the small water heater under the kitchen sink, and can last about 5 minutes. It doesn't come with a hand sink, but it is possible to install a hand sink above the toilet as is common in Japan. The toilet is a low flush RV toilet designed to conserve water. You can easily substitute a composting toilet.

Efficient and Warm

The Fencl features a stainless steel fireplace which keeps this house warm in temperatures -35 F. Because of its small size, its 16R insulation is sufficient to keep this house warm in the harshest of climates of the continental US and Southern Canada. Heading north of Southern Canada? You can easily install a larger heater, or second heater. All four walls, the floor and the roof are insulated using polystyrene foam board which can withstand the rigors of road travel.

Can I add air conditioning?
Yes, a small ceiling a/c unit can be added to keep the house cool in any climate within the US.

Trailer

This house is built on a 7' x 18' utility trailer. We designed and built a 18' trailer specifically for this home that surpasses the quality of a trailer you'll find off the lot. Or, if you choose, you can purhcase a standard 18' utility trailer in your area. Get more trailer info »

Do I have to build it on a trailer?
Because of its tiny size, it doesn't meet the minimum size standards required for houses on a foundation. It is also too large to be built as a shed.
