You can blame charlie b for me dredging this up:Dwelling Unit. A single unit, providing complete and independent
living facilities for one or more persons, including
permanent provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, and
sanitation.
It concerns the definition of "dwelling unit". I don't do much with residential, so I don't know what is the norm. Consider this just a curiosity question.
I'll define "dry cabin" as a structure with everything one would find in a normal house except: no water system, no indoor sanitation facilities, has a separate outhouse. Water for cooking/washing is usually brought in with jugs.
Yes there are plenty near where I live. One does not have to get very far from town. There are plenty of reasons why - but that isn't the question.
Qs: In the opinion of the responders:
1. Does the NEC considered a "dry cabin" is a "dwelling unit"? And, why do you think that?
2. How do you think the AHJ/inspectors in your area would respond? To be fair, you would have to pick an area where there is no easy access to commercial power or supplied pressure water, an area where septic systems are okay.
