Can you turn a single wide trailer into a double wide?

Question

I was just wondering if you could by knocking down a few walls in the middle.

Answer 1

I have seen a regular roof built over one and added rooms built under it on the front to make it look like a house.

Answer 2

How will you deal with two kitchens?

How will you match the roof lines ^^ into one?

Could you park them close enough together to provide a solid floor surface, so that you won't have a gap to cover? (Or , do you plan to step through a porthole like on a ship?)

Bottom line is YES, you can, but the layout of the rooms will be odd, walls will never match up making strange shaped areas, the roof will need to be unified into one (so you don't get leaks down the middle), and you will have a very strange arrangement of kitchen spaces.

Earlier suggestions to put a larger roof over the top, adding on 'real' rooms, sounds like the most reasonable, and the least likely to look like trash.

Answer 3

You need to take some screen wire and put around the bottom of the trailer to keep the dogs from getting underneath it. If you don't they'll be under there crapping and dragging dead animals in from off the highway, that would be a mess! Oh, and the Vaseline is good advice!

Answer 4

yes u can but i do not suggest knocking out any walls unless you plan to put supports in to replace the wall you took out

Answer 5

Don't bother. Too much trouble and you end up with an inferior result. Trade it in for a double.

Answer 6

I have seen 2 singles joined at the open doors.

Answer 7

set 2 trailers side by side and build a deck and screened in porch between the 2. keep your children and husband and inlaws on one side and yourself on the other.

Answer 8

Yeah!
