Salsa Box tiny house plans

The Salsa Box tiny house is an 89 sf instant cabin designed to be efficient, durable and budget friendly. It is cozy and compact with enough space for a queen sized bed and lots of creative nooks and crannies for storage. It was designed to provide simple living in a natural setting.

The plans come with details for a full 30 amp RV hookup and RV water connection (complete with mini tub/shower combo (8 cubic feet) and a flushing toilet) but can also be modified to be off-grid for the coast, woods, high desert or anywhere in between since it is designed to withstand a variety of weather conditions.

The Salsa Box tiny house incorporates a simplified construction process using weight, energy, and space-saving measures. It was originally built and designed as an instructional model to give workshop students a clear look at each step involved in building a tiny home. Compared to the many tiny homes Shelter Wise has designed and built, this is the easiest of them all and by far the cutest!

Does the living roof travel with the tiny house?

Yes and No, we have driven a Salsa Box with the living roof installed but it didn’t travel well, meaning the succulents (plants) were damaged.

What is the purpose of the living roof?

It’s mainly aesthetic, we actually recommend doing a small corrugate metal roof, its way more durable and travels better.

How much does the Salsa Box weight?

Between 3500-4000lbs

How much does it cost in materials?

$8000-9000, that includes everything, even the trailer.

What type of trailer do you recommend?

Iron Eagle from Fairview Oregon, they build the best trailers out there in Shelter Wise opinion.

What is the interior wood cladding the walls?

It’s a mixture of 3/8 ACX plywood (smooth one side) and Clear Vertical Grain cedar.

What type of stain do you recommend?

Sikkens or an exterior penetrating oil

Did you seal the interior wood with anything?

Yes with a water base polyurethane Low VOC.

What type of windows are those?

Marvin Fiberglass, awning style.

How did you build that shower?

We went to a commercial kitchen store and bought a 24’ x 24” stainless steel sink and then lined the walls with stainless steel wall panels and boom we had a mini shower.

How is the space ventilated?

There is a small bathfan in the bathroom that is on a timer, runs 15 mins every 2 hrs. The tiny home is also built so the walls and roof can breath (vapor transfusion). Do yourself a favor and don’t build your tiny homes too tight.

How did you build that kitchen counter?

Its made from a commercial kitchen counter and we weld stainless steel backsplashes, super simple!
