It is from year 1972 and under the log siding beats a metallic heart of doublewide trailer. Owner of the trailer is a retired metal worker Gale Spicer. The whole process of converting the trailer into a mobile log home took about four weeks. Mr. Spicer screwed log sidings directly to the metal walls of the trailer. Unexpected benefits include better sound and heat insulation so the mobile log home trailer has better living quality. Mr. Spicer says, “I’ve had people come here taking pictures. Others are going to do it to their trailer. I think we’ve stirred up something.” Article was originally written by Sylvia Anderson and it is called – Rustic way to remake doublewide.

You might remember Luoman Log Homes, a Finnish log home company, which introduced a mobile log home called MobileHome. I suppose Mr. Spicer could have something important to contribute for this Finnish company, after all he does have hands on experience.

Finnish light log home manufacturer – Luoman Oy – has started to manufacture mobile homes that are made of logs. Their new product innovation is called MobileHome. These MobileHomes are suitable for year-round living and can be pulled around and for example follow you with seasons, during summer it stands as your summer cabin on the beach and during winter sports as skiing lodge at mountains.

Luoman is going to export most of their MobileHome production and they do it so that homes are shipped in pieces and assembled at destination. First produced MobileHomes are already floating on pontoons in England. This demonstrates the versatility of log-built mobile homes. If you have any questions on Luoman mobile log homes, you can contact me at my Gmail dot com email address with prefix jarkko.aho and remember to add @ in between. You can also leave a comment, if you think that it is easier. Oh yes, they claim that it is the first time that mobile homes are made of logs. What do you think, is it true?
