Tiny House Towing

One of the most exhilarating benefits of being a tiny house homeowner is the boundless freedom to live almost anywhere you desire. Whether you dream of waking up to the Carolina coastline’s breathtaking views or the invigorating air of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, you can hitch your tiny house trailer to your truck and set off to your next tiny home community. But as you’ll soon discover, not just any trailer will suffice. You need a robust and reliable trailer specifically designed for towing tiny homes.

What to Look for in a Tiny House Trailer

Transporting your tiny house safely requires a durable trailer capable of handling its weight and unique dimensions. Look for trailers constructed with sturdy materials and heavy-duty features for short- and long-distance travel. When selecting a trailer for your tiny home, several key features and specifications are paramount to ensure safety, durability, and compliance with regulations:

• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): Perhaps the most critical factor, the GVWR, indicates the maximum loaded weight (trailer plus its load, i.e., your tiny house) the trailer can safely carry. Your tiny home, even before furnishings, can be surprisingly heavy. Ensure the trailer’s GVWR significantly exceeds the anticipated weight of your tiny house to provide a safety margin. Trailers for tiny homes often have GVWRs ranging from 9,900 to 25,900 pounds or more.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Look for trailers built with robust materials like premium-grade steel. The frame should be expertly welded to withstand the stresses of constant movement and heavy loads on various terrains.
• Axles: Multiple axles (tandem or triple axle) are critical for evenly
  distributing your home’s weight and providing stability. Dexter axles are an outstanding choice. Ensure the axles are rated to handle the load and have self-adjusting brakes for reliable stopping power.
• Braking System: Electric brakes on all axles are essential for safe towing, especially with a tiny house’s considerable weight. A breakaway braking system, which automatically applies the brakes if the trailer detaches from the tow vehicle, is also a vital safety feature and is often legally required.
• Tires and Wheels: Heavy-duty tires rated for continuous highway use at maximum load are a no-brainer. Look for radial tires designed for trailer use, not passenger vehicle tires.
• Decking: A sturdy, weather-resistant deck is essential. Wood decks are standard, but ensure they are treated and durable. Some trailers may offer steel or other composite options.
• Wiring Harness and Lighting: A pre-installed, high-quality wiring harness properly protected from the elements is critical for all essential lighting (brake lights, turn signals, running lights) and other electrical connections.
• Corrosion Protection: Bumper pull trailers are exposed to various weather conditions and even road salt in the winter, so a good corrosion protection system, such as the Evercoat Painting System, prolongs the trailer’s appearance and lifespan.
• Tie-Down Points: Strong tie-down points are necessary to secure your tiny house to the trailer and prevent shifting during transit.
• Warranty: A comprehensive warranty provides peace of mind and indicates the manufacturer’s confidence in their product. Bigfoot Tiny Home Trailers have an impressive 5-year warranty!
