While a professionally-built tiny house is often the dream, it can come with a pretty hefty price tag. Cheeky Monkey is trying to make tiny homes more financially accessible by selling plans, shells, and trailers so you can DIY a tiny house.
You can purchase plans for their Jude and Strawberry tiny homes, and they also sell 18/24/28-foot trailers. Finally, their Blackbird and Jude shells are also available to purchase on their website.
Additionally, they are trying to help connect homeowners/landowners with tiny home dwellers looking for a spot to park. They’ve created a webpage where people with land and those looking for it can connect here.
These trailers are designed for tiny house construction. Check them out and request a quote if you’re interested. They also offer tiny house shells too! In these cases, you would only have to finish the inside of your tiny house.
If you’re looking into trailers for a tiny house project you may have heard of Iron Eagle Tiny House Trailers. When it comes to trailers, there are several options out there. Iron Eagle Trailers is one of them, they’re one of the very best, and they’ve been serving tiny house people for many years now. So here’s a little bit more about them…
They’re the same company that Portland Alternative Dwellings has been using for their trailers back in the day. That’s why they call their tiny house trailers the PAD Series. So yeah! Check them out along with the many other helpful resources at the bottom of this article.

Triple Axle Trailer for Tiny House Construction For Sale
When I was sure that I was going to build a Tiny House on Wheels, the first major purchase that I made was a set of plans. Once that was out of the way, I started shopping for trailers.
One of the first major purchases I made for my tiny house on wheels was a flat bed trailer. You certainly can’t start building a tiny house on wheels without one! There are so many options when it comes to trailers. New trailers, used ones, converted trailers from RV’s, farm trailers, etc. One thing seemed certain: trailers were not cheap.
Hi Alex (and Tiny House Newsletter readers), I have a custom tiny house trailer for sale, as well as windows, doors, a skylight, and flooring.
It was my project but now I have a new job and will not have the time. I would like to sell it to someone who can make better use of it and build a tiny house.
Below I have attached photos and descriptions for you.

Tiny House Trailer For Sale for your Tiny Home Project
Of course, the rigidity of the final tiny house adds a substantial amount of strength to the final chassis so those calculations will have to be taken into account as well.
Acquiring and preparing a trailer for your future tiny house can be stressful and costly but it’s one of the most important parts of your tiny house if you’re building mobile because it’s your foundation.
For most people, the trailer is actually the single most expensive item that you’ll buy for your tiny home. And rightly so, as it’s going to be the foundation, right?
To address this problem and to make things easier for people like us who want to build tiny cabins that are mobile Tumbleweed Houses is now offering trailers specifically designed and built for stick-built tiny houses (on wheels).
