I saw on TV where they were welding several units together and making houses out of them but they were still in the $100,000 range. Trailers or mobile homes are a cheaper alternative. They can be made sturdy.
I lived in mine for about 3 years while I was finishing college. Two bedrooms and a fireplace. Two bathroom. I loved it. Easy to clean. Nice sounds during a rain storm. Scary sounds during high winds. Still have it as Backup Plan B. Could go back into it and live there rest of my life, or tornado, whichever comes first.
