A 396 Sq. Ft. Tru Form Tiny Home with Two Lofts and a Ground-Floor Bed

This 30-foot Tru Form build was on offer from its second owner, and at 396 square feet it sits at the upper end of what a tiny house on wheels can be. The layout is unusually accommodating: two lofts plus a ground-floor bed in the living area, so it sleeps well beyond a couple and gives anyone who would rather not climb somewhere to sleep.

Its 30 x 8.6 footprint plus a two-foot bump-out yields two bedrooms and one bath. Light is the defining quality: abundant windows, French doors, white walls, and pale wood accents keep a long, narrow volume feeling open rather than tunnel-like. Built in 2017 and RVIA certified.

Editor’s note: this home was listed at $106,500 in California in 2021 and has sold. Current listings are linked below.

Inside a 396 Sq. Ft. Tru Form Tiny Home


Love the Shaker-style front door

I love the watercolor effect on the cabinets

Compact storage staircase up to the loft.

There’s a first floor bed/couch area.

There’s storage underneath and in the cabinets.

Beautiful white cabinets.

You can see a pantry and the fridge/freezer.

And it looks splendid during the holiday season!

Love that skinny little Christmas tree.

Up in the loft.

A handy little desk for working from home.

Those chunky shelves are great.

The black and white bathroom is so crisp and clean.

Great tiled shower stall.

Why Two Lofts Plus a Ground-Floor Bed Works

  • Three sleeping options suit three different people. Lofts for those who can climb, a main-floor bed for those who cannot — the same house serves a family and a retiree.
  • A two-foot bump-out is cheap square footage. Extending part of the wall adds usable width without changing the trailer or the road-legal profile much.
  • French doors do more than windows in a long plan. They light the far end and give a second exit, which matters in a 30-foot home.
  • RVIA certification protects resale. It is what parks, lenders, and insurers ask for, and it cannot be added later.

    Ages ago, my smart Aunt used to get HALF a Christmas treefor their tiny living room… They cut all the branches off one side, and put that side against the wall. It looked great but took up little space.

    When you purchase a tiny home does it come with the land?

      For Tiny Houses on wheels (THOWs), generally no unless it is specifically stated to be part of a property purchase, or lease, or has been placed on a foundation… It is otherwise considered separate…

      It’s Tiny houses on foundations that would be with land/lot because the foundation ties it to the land and would only be allowed if it met local codes and zoning requirements…
