   Generally, how much would a small house weigh?

   My gmc safari can tow up to 5K, but would be marginal at best.

   The EPU from Tumbleweed lists the dry weight (just the house not your stuff inside ) at 4700 #

   If you built it with lightweight steel studs I'm sure you could bring this weight down a lot.

   Even if you are building with wood studs you can probably sort through a pile of 2x4 and pick out the lighter studs. There can be quite a difference in a pile. For a small structure the strength difference won't matter. The white wood pile at the orange box seems to always be lighter than the Douglas Fir.
