this sounds like a great idea and good to plan for it early in the design phase.
these reduce wear on the tires from 'just sitting there' when it's parked somewhere and really doesn't need to be on wheels.
they cost $100-200 for ones that are integrated into the trailer and welded to the frame.
I wonder how I need to prepare the ground where I place my tiny home. I've heard you need to put down a vapor barrier and/or gravel, not sure which order.
update: someone else said these are only to be used for stabilization purposes and are not intended to hold the entire trailer off the ground. Either way they seem like a good idea, even if they are supplemental to the tires.
