Tiny House Trailer Foundation FAQs:
Sizing, Weight, And Delivery

A tiny-house foundation carries permanent structural loads from walls, lofts, roofing, tanks, appliances, cabinetry, and mechanical systems. It should be designed around the home rather than adapted from a trailer intended for cargo or equipment.

Asked Questions

1. What Makes a Tiny-House Trailer Different from a Utility Trailer?

A tiny-house foundation carries permanent structural loads from walls, lofts, roofing, tanks, appliances, cabinetry, and mechanical systems. It should be designed around the home rather than adapted from a trailer intended for cargo or equipment.

2. Do You Build Custom Sizes?

Yes. We manufacture bumper-pull, gooseneck, hybrid, commercial, and specialty configurations in multiple lengths, widths, capacities, and deck arrangements.

3. Can You Build 10-Foot or 12-Foot-Wide Foundations?

Yes. Wider projects require planning for engineering, transportation, permits, escort requirements, and final site access. Our team will review the complete delivery path before recommending a configuration.

4. Bumper Pull or Gooseneck—Which Is Better?

It depends on the floor plan, total size, expected weight, towing setup, and desired use of the raised gooseneck platform. We will help compare both options for your project.

5. What Is a Hybrid Foundation?

A hybrid foundation can use running gear for delivery or relocation and then be supported as a skid-style or site-set structural base according to the approved design. Removing wheels or axles does not by itself change zoning, code, title, tax, or occupancy classification; the destination and applicable authorities determine those requirements.

6. Can I Buy the Trailer with a Subfloor?

Yes. We offer installed subfloor systems and insulation options so the platform can arrive ready for framing.

7. Can You Include the Steel Frame Kit?

Yes. The foundation, subfloor, and galvanized cold-formed steel frame can be manufactured as one coordinated package.

8. Do You Offer Engineering?

Engineering requirements vary by product, state, jurisdiction, and intended code pathway. Our team will help identify the appropriate documentation and structural package for the project.

9. How Long Does Production Take?

Lead times depend on current factory scheduling, engineering and drawing approval, customer decisions, material availability, foundation complexity, options, quantity, and delivery coordination. The project proposal and production release will state the current estimated schedule; manufacturing timing begins only after the required design, scope, payment, and production details are complete.

10. Do You Deliver Nationwide?

Yes. Pickup and delivery are available. Wide-load, route, escort, and site-access requirements are reviewed separately for larger projects.

11. What Warranty Do You Offer?

Qualifying Trailer Made foundations include lifetime warranty coverage. Specific terms and eligibility will be provided with the project documents.

12. Can You Support Professional Builders and Multi-Unit Programs?

Yes. We work with homeowners, DIY builders, professional builders, schools, developers, and repeat commercial programs.

13. How Do I Get a Quote?

Provide the project location and intended use, planned length and width, floor plan, foundation style, estimated completed weight if known, tank and appliance locations, desired GVWR or axle configuration if known, pickup or delivery preference, route or site constraints, build level, schedule, and any plans or sketches available. Those details allow the team to evaluate the configuration and prepare project-specific scope and pricing.
