remove the siding on both sides that will be joined, now you have studs exposed on both trailers. get whatever number of 2x4's needed to scab both walls together making a solid joining.open only 1/3 of the joined walls as a walk thru. try to use removed siding to patch the out side,dry wall in new interior wall. maybe a strip of aluminum to join and seal the roof outside..the outside roof is the least complicated issue.

You are going to join two of these side by side and you think that the roof is the least of the issues?fouts wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 4:59 pm remove the siding on both sides that will be joined, now you have studs exposed on both trailers. get whatever number of 2x4's needed to scab both walls together making a solid joining.open only 1/3 of the joined walls as a walk thru. try to use removed siding to patch the out side,dry wall in new interior wall. maybe a strip of aluminum to join and seal the roof outside..the outside roof is the least complicated issue.

I would just go ahead and kill myself if my life was so bad that I was living in a mobile home.

just probably run a bead of caulk where the two roofs come together and solve that problem.

Re: How would you do it? A question for the engineers
I once tried to assemble two big metal boxes to make a larger work area. At first, I could do it alone, but I quickly found it was much more complicated than it looked. There were many things to think about, like ensuring everything lined up right and keeping water out. So, I asked for help and got some engineers from a steel construction company. They knew exactly what to do and made the two boxes fit perfectly. They knew their stuff, and thanks to them, I had the bigger space I needed.
