Phew, that's quite a price for that sheep wagon, I get the Tumbleweed house newsletter, but I can't see paying someone to do what myself and a couple of friends can do if I ever gain some weight

You wouldn't catch me towing that thing 70mph. It looks like standard farm wagon running gear with no brakes. I don't think I see $60,000 worth of stuff + labor.

Does that wood stove installation look a little wonky to anyone else??

70 MPH? They can't be serious.

You mean waaaaay too close to wood, without near enough air space/insulation?
Not if you never build a fire in it.

I just looked at the pictures again. What state (or planet if you prefer) can you tow anything (except a farm wagon) without brake/tail/marker lights?
I see it does have a slow moving vehicle triangle on it. Kinda goes against that 70mph thing.

That's what I meant all right. Seems way too close to me. Would make me nervous. Well, maybe not, cause I just wouldn't use it that way.
I built a vent hood pipe for my restaurant vent hood and wrapped it in several inches of firewrap, held on with stainless bands and kept it 6" from wood and steel roofing even with all that.
Paranoia? Yeah, a little bit....

$ 60,000.00 He must be a goverment contractor, has any one looked at a FEMA travel trailer. If he can pay me UP FRONT, I bet I could let him have them for half that and make a killing. That was made to pull behind a farm tractor, ? the triangle reflector on the back.

I've seen some going for $30k, but twice that?
I made a post about it not having brakes as well as not including the length and weight in the description but I see it hasn't been approved yet. I'm very concerned that there is not enough information there and that someone not "in the know" will get themselves in trouble.
I'm assuming that because they posted it can be pulled by a truck or larger vehicle that there is sufficient enough weight that trailer brakes of some sort would be mandatory for safe braking.

That's some pretty good workmanship but they wont ever get that kind of money for it
