A mobile structure includes first and second rigid frames and first and second horizontal roof supports supported by the rigid frame. Each of the rigid frames includes a first vertical support, a second vertical support substantially parallel to the first vertical support, and a lateral rigid frame support extending perpendicularly at least from the first vertical support to the second vertical support. The mobile structure further includes a floor under the first and second horizontal roof supports, a wheel-axle assembly under the floor, and leveling assemblies that are extendable away from the floor. Each leveling assembly is in weight-bearing and in-line relationship with respect to one of the vertical supports of the first rigid frame.

1. A portable structure having sufficient internal structural rigidity to eliminate load-bearing perimeter support structure, the portable structure comprising: first and second rigid frames, each of the first and second rigid frames including: at least two mutually parallel vertical supports; andmutually parallel lateral roof and floor joist supports each extending perpendicularly between the at least two vertical supports;a carriage assembly, the carriage assembly supporting a floor diaphragm coupled thereto, the carriage assembly being rigidly coupled to the lateral floor joist supports of each of the first and second frames;at least two mutually parallel horizontal roof supports supporting a roof diaphragm, the horizontal roof supports being substantially perpendicular with, and rigidly coupled to, the lateral roof supports of the first and second rigid frames; andat least one set of leveling assemblies configured to support said portable structure when in a stationary mode, each of the at least one set of leveling assemblies configured to be in weight-bearing and in-line relationship with respect to one of the vertical supports of one of the first and second rigid frames,whereby whenever the leveling assemblies are extended to and rigidly coupled to the ground, substantially all lateral forces imposed on said portable structure are transferred to the ground through the one of the first and second rigid frames. 2. The portable structure of claim 1, wherein the leveling assemblies are retractable from their extended configuration when the portable structure is in a transport mode. 3. The portable structure of claim 1, further comprising an eave support assembly coupled between the roof diaphragm and the horizontal roof supports, the eave support assembly being in a cantilevered relationship with the horizontal roof supports. 4. The portable structure of claim 1, wherein the horizontal roof supports are in a cantilevered relationship with the first and second rigid frames. 5. The portable structure of claim 3, wherein: said portable structure has two sides and two ends, the distance between the sides being its width and the distance between the ends being its length; andthe first and second rigid frames being symmetrically oriented so that the first and second lateral supports of the rigid frames are substantially perpendicular to the sides, and substantially parallel to the ends of said portable structure, and disposed in a space that is located inside of the length of said portable structure. 6. The portable structure of claim 5, wherein at least the roof lateral supports of the first and second rigid frames do not extend the entire width of said portable structure, thereby providing room, at least along the sides of said portable structure for, lateral extension structures supported by at least one of: the eave assembly and the carriage assembly. 7. The portable structure of claim 5, further comprising: at least one stabilizing frame including: at least two mutually parallel vertical stabilizing supports; andfirst and second mutually parallel lateral roof supports; anda lateral floor joist support,wherein: the first and second lateral roof supports and the lateral floor joist support extend perpendicularly between the at least two vertical stabilizing supports; andthe first lateral roof support is rigidly coupled to the horizontal roof supports,the second lateral roof support is rigidly coupled to the eave support assembly, andthe lateral floor joist support is rigidly coupled to the carriage assembly. 8. The portable structure of claim 7, wherein the at least one stabilizing frame is disposed outside of a space between the first and second rigid frames, and disposed in substantially symmetric relationship with respect to the first and second rigid frames. 9. The portable structure of claim 5, wherein the eave support assembly is supported by the first and second horizontal roof supports, the eave support assembly including: a first longitudinal eave support;a second longitudinal eave support substantially parallel to the first longitudinal eave support; anda plurality of lateral eave supports each extending perpendicularly at least from the first longitudinal eave support to the second longitudinal eave support,the first and second longitudinal eave supports being separated from one another by a distance greater than a distance separating the first and second vertical supports of at least one of the first and second rigid frames. 10. The portable structure of claim 9, wherein each of the horizontal roof supports includes a truss, the truss comprising: a bottom chord rigidly coupled to the lateral roof supports of the first and second rigid frames;a top chord disposed above and in parallel with the bottom chord, the top chord being rigidly coupled to the eave support assembly; andtruss members disposed in triangular patterns between the top and bottom chords. 11. The portable structure of claim 1, wherein the horizontal roof supports are solid members. 12. The portable structure of claim 1, wherein an extension distance of at least one of the leveling assemblies of the first set of leveling assemblies is automatically adjustable. 13. The portable structure of claim 1, wherein at least one of the leveling assemblies of the first set of leveling assemblies includes a base plate to distribute a load of the portable structure over an area under the base plate. 14. The portable structure of claim 1, wherein each of the vertical supports of the first rigid frame extends through the floor diaphragm and is directly coupled to a corresponding one of the leveling assemblies of the first set of leveling assemblies.
