Tiny Homes on Wheels
RVIA certified, road-legal tiny homes on wheels. Built for travel, remote living, or permanent placement - towable anywhere in the US.
What Is a Tiny Home on Wheels (THOW)?
A tiny home on wheels is a fully functional home built on a custom trailer frame that can be towed by a standard pickup truck. THOWs typically range from 100 to 400 square feet and include full kitchen, bathroom, sleeping area, and living space - everything you need in a road-ready package.
THOWs offer the ultimate flexibility in tiny living. Park it permanently on your own land, move it to a tiny home community, or take it with you when you relocate. Unlike traditional real estate, your home goes where you go.
RVIA Certification - Why It Matters
RVIA (RV Industry Association) certification means your tiny home on wheels meets established construction and safety standards. RVIA certified homes are legally classified as recreational vehicles, which provides three critical advantages:
Legal road transport - RVIA certified THOWs meet DOT weight, dimension, and safety requirements for highway travel. No special permits needed in most states.
Easier financing - Banks and credit unions offer RV loans for RVIA certified tiny homes at competitive interest rates. Non-certified homes are much harder to finance.
Insurance availability - Standard RV insurance policies cover RVIA certified homes. This means comprehensive, collision, and liability coverage is readily available and affordable.
Road-Legal Specifications
Road-legal tiny homes on wheels must stay within DOT maximum dimensions: 8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet tall, and typically 20-30 feet long (trailer length). Total weight including the home and contents must remain under 10,000-14,000 pounds depending on your tow vehicle's rating.
Your THOW builder engineers the home within these limits, using lightweight materials and efficient framing techniques to maximize interior space while staying road-legal. Steel trailer frames are custom-welded to your home's specifications for optimal weight distribution and towing stability.
Off-Grid and On-Grid Options
THOWs can be configured for full off-grid capability with solar panels, battery banks, composting toilets, and rainwater collection. Off-grid packages let you park anywhere with sunlight - no hookups required.
On-grid configurations connect to standard RV hookups (30/50 amp electrical, water, and sewer) found at RV parks, tiny home communities, and many private properties. Most THOWs are built with both options for maximum flexibility.
