- Working lights
- Working brakes
- Safe tires and trailer
- Properly secured tiny home structure
Owner Checklist
- Make sure the builder of your tiny home has experience building tiny homes for transport.
- Make sure the tiny house is securely fastened to the trailer it is on before pickup.
- Make sure the structure will hold up against road wind, vibration, turns, bumps, and normal transport movement.
- Make sure the trailer the tiny house sits on is a strong trailer built for the load.
- Make sure the axle weight ratings have room to spare for the actual loaded weight.
- Make sure all trailer lights and brakes work before the driver arrives.
- Make sure tires are high-ply tires — at least 10 ply is recommended for many tiny home trailers.
- Make sure there is a working breakaway switch on the trailer.
- Make sure there are safety chains on the trailer.
- Since many tiny houses are built around 13 ft to 13 ft 6 in high, check clearance at the delivery property. Cut low tree limbs and check for low power, cable, or telephone lines before delivery.
- Hire a professional tiny home transport company like Showroom Transport to move your trailer.
Small Details Matter
Tiny homes must be on wheels with working lights and brakes. We move tiny homes up to 10 ft wide, up to 40 ft long, and not over 13 ft 6 in tall.
Check height clearance, driveway access, limbs, power lines, soft ground, tire condition, brakes, lights, axles, and the tiny home structure before transport.
