Description
We recently concluded that shipping container homes
(difficult/expensive to move if the council/neighbors complain)
are a no-go for temporary accommodation on rural land in PT.
Basically if the structure cannot be _easily_ moved it is considered permanent for licensing/legal reasons.
See: https://github.com/dwyl/phase-three/issues/114#issuecomment-1227069738
A Tiny House on Wheels is very clearly a non-permanent structure and therefore not considered permanent.
But there will still be rules that need to be followed.
We found the following recently published/updated [06 July 2022] on a prominent property website:

## Precedent
Consider the following AirBnB Listing in the Óbidos, Leiria District: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/39025493


It's **`€47/night`** but offers no facilities / features / activities beyond the tiny house.
i.e. no pool or other water access. **Óbidos** is **`3km`** away and the beach is **`10km`**.
## Portuguese Tiny House Builders
There are a few companies making tiny houses on wheels in PT:
https://tinyhousesfactory.pt/tiny-houses/modern/

Based just outside Porto: https://swtbuilding.pt/produtos/tiny-house/

http://www.tinyhouseportugal.com/prices.html

We should research if there are more and find out:
a) where they are based
b) what their availability for a visit/consultation is
c) lead times for building a Tiny Home
