http://www.kottagerv.com Shipping Container Homes for Sale that is made from Canada. This is a kind of affordable green housing shelter motorhome using the Shipping Container Mobile Home Park Model RV Trailer structure in Canada. Kottage RVs park model rv trailers are made with a solid steel structure that offers incredible strength -- especially when compared to a typical park model's wood and aluminum construction. This means our units stand up to the elements -- high winds, earthquakes, fire, even falling tree branches. They also offer outstanding security. You don't often hear "RV" and "investment" used in the same sentence these days. We believe Kottage RV is going to change that by offering an investment opportunity that can span generations. The strength and durability of the product coupled with minimal maintenance costs equals superior long term value.

Advantages of using Shipping Containers from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipping_container_architecture#Advantages:

Strength and durability

Shipping containers are in many ways an ideal building material. They are designed to carry heavy loads and to be stacked in high columns. They are also designed to resist harsh environments - such as on ocean-going vessels or sprayed with road salt while transported on roads. Due to their high strength, containers are useful for secure storage.

Modular

All shipping containers are made to standard measurements and as such they provide modular elements that can be combined into larger structures. This simplifies design, planning and transport. As they are already designed to interlock for ease of mobility during transportation, structural construction is completed by simply emplacing them. Due to the containers' modular design additional construction is as easy as stacking more containers. They can be stacked up to 12 high when empty.

Transport

Pre-fabricated modules can also be easily transported by ship, truck or rail, because they already conform to standard shipping sizes.

Availability

Used shipping containers are available across the globe.

Cost

Many used containers are available at a cost that is low compared to a finished structure built by other labour-intensive means such as bricks and mortar — which also require larger more expensive foundations. Construction involves very little labour and used shipping containers requiring only simple modification can be purchased from major transport companies for as little as US$1,200 each. Even when purchased brand new they seldom cost more than US$6000.
