I think if I were to attempt a building that was to be moved I would want to do a monolithic pour. Make forms that fit the chassis and keep mixing and pumping until they are full. Light papercrete, in the ratio of about 2:1 paper to cement and no sand ends up weighing in the range of 20 pounds per cubic foot. Papercrete walls are commonly a foot thick for stability and strength. If you made a building that was 8x20 feet and 8 feet tall, the walls would weigh in the range of 9,000 pounds, before you add on the roof.

Hello Slurryguy-
Thank you for responding. I was beginning to wonder if anyone had received my post.
I have actually been to the site you listed many times, but did return and search again. Unfortunately, I have never found anything for alternative building methods in conjunction with the portability we are looking for.
We have built trailers of many types as well as booths for many different fairs and markets. However we have always had to either work with a prefab style where walls and floors were built in sections to be assembled on site then disassembled after the fair was over for hauling it, or a full building (such as a large shed) which can be jacked up and placed on a trailer, tied down and then hauled to and from the fair site.
We are hoping for a lightweight, alternative building method which can be built much as an rv would to haul in to fair site, work in during fair or market, then just hook up to truck again and drive away.
Guess we will keep looking and if we don't find anything will have to test something ourselves and pray it does not fall apart while driving down the road.
Thanks again
