Building My Tiny Cabin on Wheels: What I've done so far. | Off Grid Cabin Build
Ойын-сауық
This is a video showing how I built my tiny cabin on wheels from start to where I am now with the build.
Since even before starting the build I haven't known whether to call this thing a tiny house, a tiny cabin, a caravan, or gypsy camper. Not sure. What I can say is that the tiny cabin I'm building is only 50 square feet in size. I'm building it in the style of a gypsy wagon vardo (probably one of the historically original types of tiny house on wheels). I'm building this cabin on wheels without any plans other than a rough sketch I did before starting the build. Not sure if its a good idea to build without a set of plans but so far so good.
This is Part Seven of my Tiny House Building series. In this video I review the entire process so far in a very quick timelapse style video. This video also includes how I built the arched roof which is previously not published.
Although I have a fair amount of woodworking experience, I've never built anything like a tiny cabin before. I thought creating a series might help viewers build their own or at least show what I did. Plus, I think it makes a pretty interesting video.
I'll be posting new videos as they become available.
Check out the next summary video showing what I did next here: • Building My Off Grid C...
I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Nice video, bro. Thanks for showing me your job. 👍🙂
Love the horse drawn wagon going by in the back ground.
At 2:48, a horse drawn wagon goes by one the road behind you... very cool!
I like that wagon pulled by two horses on the background @ 2:49. Bzw, great work Jason!
Bloody beautiful well done mate
Obsessed with this build!!! We live in our converted school bus, and now my mom wants her own tiny home so I told her I'd build her something like this. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. Sorry, there haven't been any updates for a while. I messed up my shoulder in the spring so have been giving it a time out. Will be adding the windows, door and continuing with the build very soon. School bus sounds very cool. (Don't give me ideas 😆)

Jason thanks for the knowledge and the video.... regards,..
l love your tiny house!!
Excellent build so far! Thank you for doing the step by step and for the product info as you went along. I start mine in the spring, and I am a wood worker and artist so I will be doing my own version, but I will for sure be starting by rewatching your build!
Lots. Of fun
awesome job
Looking good top job
Great video.
Very nice Cabin ❤️🌳❤️
Super slick design and build, very sturdy and appealing looking. Prepping for a diy cabin/camper build right now down here in Austin,Tx and I am getting ALOT of good ideas and tips from your videos. Thanks so much for making and posting!
Amazing, wonderful work and great video! So nice to watch and ispiring
really nice love your attention to detail beautifully done
Its looking really nice 😊
Quite a nice video (and cabin, by the way). Not dull, not long, with a lot of nice tips. Well done! Thank you

You work fast. Nice look and hope to catch the inside progress. Excellent step by step video.

I really love that you used two different types of cedar, the contrast really pops, and looks really warm! I need to see you when it’s all done!
You mentioned something I was wondering about that I’m curious if you addressed later… the wobbly nature of the trailer. Did you add any kind of fold down, adjustable height corner legs to stabilize the trailer when it’s not hooked up to your tow vehicle? Most pop-up campers have them so you can level it on slopes or uneven ground and, more importantly, so any changes in center of gravity inside the trailer keeps the tongue end from “tipping up.”
Very wonderful, i loved it
Very cool 👍

Nicely done with the trailer restoration. The biscuit joiner brought back old, but good memories. Mine is a dewalt. I haven't used/needed it since the mid 90's. I still have about 1000 biscuits in 3 sizes.

You work pretty fast. I'm building a Gypsy Wagon (5x10) right now. I had supports welded for the overhang, and my roof is more rounded. Look for my video later this year.
Cute!
Wow! Unlike a lot of Vardo builders you are really talented. Really nice build so far.
Awesome build. I love watching KZread videos when the creator mentions Canadian Tire, lol. I live in Ontario Canada. You have done some great work on your gypsy camper. One day I would like to build my own camper. I have been looking at building a teardrop trailer or gypsy camper. I'm also an avid kayaker, I would also like to build a Greenland skin on frame kayak. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
So cute
Nice!
Looking so great Jason 😁👍🏻 love your little gypsy wagon. And nice to see you again my friend 🏕🔥🛶 Tom
Thank You
Hi Jason very nice build...i have been wanting to build something like this instead of a teardrop.

Actually I was thinking of a tear drop before I started this. Thing is, this might be for travel or I might just find a little bit of land and park it as a cabin getaway.
thats fkn sick bro.

That's looking great, Jason. 🙂👍 If you had decided to go the teardrop route, would it have been the same process as your canoe or kayak?
The roof is great.

Its not a vardo at all. Its a trailer. Do you called boats cars? Vardos have 4 wheels with two used for steering.
I know what I'm doing with the old trailer now, thanks.
Hello, what a great video, inspiring. Would you know the weight of the finished wagon by any chance? Thank you.
This is interesting. I am looking for just such a thing, but likely smaller, to use as a display for my art work. It would have to fit in a 10x10 space. I once saw one with doors on the long sides that opened up to hang the paintings on each side. There was also place to put prints under the swinging display doors. He had a table that came down to cover the hitch, used as a work table. The inside had shelves to put the paintings on and other materials for the shows. He also had awnings that opened out on I think 3 sides. It was wired for lights. I have been looking for such a thing and Han=ve=e not found anything. I like this one that you did, because it is neutral in color. Do you build these for other people?
Beautiful mobile cabin! What's your weight and overall ht. like?
Ah, that answers my question. You used tongue and groove cedar siding that you got from an Amish wood mill down the road. I saw a man on the road behind you with horses and a trailer. I was going to ask if you were/are Amish or if you lived nearby an Amish community.
Thank you very much Dad
Very nice, any estimate on the weight?
Like the roof line. I hate the peaked, shingle roofs.
Do you happen to know what the axle rating is for your trailer? 3500 or 5000? Would really like to know, since I'm looking at building something similar.
Muy bonita

Hey Becca, No, I'm afraid I don't. It was a 4 x 8 trailer to start with.
Hi Paul, Love this project, well done, I come from a traditional Irish travelling family, and your respect to the build is appreciated. Although the proper name is a Bow top wagon not a gypsy wagon. Do you have an email address I would like to chat with regards some canoeing in Algonighan if you don’t mind. Henry Scotland.
