About Tiny House Basics and Their Trailer Solutions
Tiny House Basics specializes in designing and building custom tiny house trailers intended to address common challenges that builders face during construction. Their trailers are engineered to handle the specific weight distribution requirements of tiny houses, featuring strong edge frames that support walls and allow for fully insulated floors throughout — not just between the wheel wells.
The design approach eliminates thermal bridging and mold issues that are often associated with traditional flange-style trailer frames used by other manufacturers. By using an outer frame rail and crossmembers matched to the inner deck, Tiny House Basics offers a modern deck design that keeps moisture and insulation problems to a minimum.
Key standard features included on all trailers:
- Box tube construction with main frame rails and crossmembers
- 2 5/16in Ball Coupler
- Electric brakes with 7-way connector
- Backup battery with Sway-a-way Safety System
- Dual safety chains
- Sealed wiring harness
- Heavy-duty crossmembers 16in on center
The heavy-duty crossmembers are built to allow the trailer itself to serve as the subfloor, removing the need to construct a separate wooden subfloor — a step that some competing products still require. Threaded rods are also included to make securing wall framing straightforward, with more connection points than NOAH Tiny House certification standards require.
Trailer Models, Sizes, and Styles
Tiny House Basics offers both Bumper Pull and Gooseneck trailer models, built across three U.S. locations to serve customers nationwide. Available sizes range from compact 10ft trailers up to 50ft models, with width options extending up to 12ft wide.
Available deck styles include:
- Standard Deck With Fenders — 26in deck height
- 4in Drop Axle Decks With Fenders — 22in deck height
- Flat Deck Deckover Style Trailers — 36in deck height
All deck styles are available in both bumper pull and gooseneck configurations, and all can be ordered in widths up to 12ft. This range of options allows builders to select a trailer that fits their specific project requirements rather than adapting their build to a one-size-fits-all product.
Each trailer is designed to be ready to build upon delivery, reducing the prep work typically associated with other tiny house trailers on the market. The trailers are also described as competitively priced relative to comparable options.
Designed by Builders, for Builders
The trailers from Tiny House Basics were developed by people with hands-on experience in tiny house construction and living. The goal behind the design is to make the building process more efficient and accessible — whether the builder is a first-time DIYer or an experienced professional contractor.
With every trailer purchase, Tiny House Basics includes lifetime consulting to support customers throughout their build process. This ongoing support is intended to help buyers navigate decisions and challenges that arise during construction.
In addition to their trailer products, Tiny House Basics has also published a book titled Tiny House Basics: Living the Good Life in Small Spaces, and they maintain a YouTube channel with video content covering their trailer features and build guidance.
