After consulting with Maya over the weekend and finalizing on a rough layout for the tiny house she plans to build over the summer, I placed an order for a 20′ x 8′ trailer that will serve as its mobile foundation. Lead time is 6 weeks and transit from Alabama will add another which should have it here by late June.  Maya and I will be returning from our planned trip to Ecuador on June 27th so the timing lines up nicely.  Five years ago, no one was making tiny house-specific trailers. Today there are at least a dozen manufacturers, a good indicator that the demand for tiny living is on the rise. Our DOT-certified trailer is from Tiny House Basics and is rated for a load of 14,000 pounds.
