The small, portable House-To-Go is a fully equipped house-on-wheels designed to travel on any road, anywhere. I like the idea of taking your small house with you wherever you go. Julie Martin, from The Martin House Company, also loves the idea; after losing everything in Hurricane Katrina she decided to use her expertise in restoring beautiful historic homes and start creating affordable and portable housing.

If you already read our previous Small House Living series then you already know how passionate we feel about the advantages of living in a small house. That’s why when we found out about the portable House-To-Go we just had to write about it.

With NASA-approved insulation for extreme weather, solid bamboo floors, big, airy windows and tall ceilings, the portable Martin House-To-Go is built to the highest standards. Here’s a way how you can start fresh, realizing the potential of affordable living and adventurous travel.

    This concept is not new, It’s been around since the the 1500s . It known as a Caravan, Travel trailer, RV, Camper etc.
    This thing must weigh a ton and would be a nightmare in terms of gas mileage and aerodynamics. to pull. The cost is off the scale IMO.

    If you have the money more power to you but it’s doubtful you would be buying one of these if you have money to begin with and those people of meager wealth ,who dream about buying one of these can’t afford them so it’s hard to figure out what the market is for a $35,000 shed on wheels……………………….

    . Oh I figured it out, The are marketing to the gullible.

    Good luck,

    These things are cute to look at by highly impractical.
    I scoured the net looking for “portable” homes. Almost invariably they are designer projects that are so out of the reach of everyday hard working folk.

    I contacted a few of the people, and the prices were ridiculous for sleek, tiny prefabs.

    That is why America is going down, because they show a lot, but provide nothing to help people who are just looking for a decent home.

    Cabin on wheels, I saw a guy build on almost identical for 2K, but no wheels.

    Look up Solacabin on utube.

    Additionally, many of the sleek concepts you see on net labeled :green,” are not even available. You have to go to Costa Rica to get a portable home.

    It’s a joke,

    Well people, they didn’t say it was your typical RV trailer that you’d be taking across the country every summer. I interpreted it as something you’d get and not move all that often… like going to stay at grandma’s for the summer in it… or similar things…
    Not like every broke bastard can get these… I can’t…
