One trailer design that is rapidly gaining popularity in the tiny home community is the 10-wide Deckover Tiny House Trailer. At Tiny House Basics, we’re excited to share helpful ideas for tiny house builders of all types, from DIYs to Professional Builders. By showcasing many tiny house trailer tours, we allow you to see the different options we offer, and you can decide which trailer is the best for your foundation.
Not only is the Deckover Tiny House Trailer becoming a top choice among builders, but its appeal continues to grow due to its unmatched versatility and spacious design. As a result, more and more builders are opting for this style to maximize their tiny home’s potential. This style has quickly won over many fans, and it’s easy to see why. Here’s a look at why the 10ft Deckover is a great choice for your tiny house build.
1. The Perfect Foundation for a Single-Level Design
Our Deckover tiny house trailer is designed to meet the needs of tiny home builders seeking the flexibility of a single-level design without sacrificing space or convenience. The wide 10ft deck offers ample room to work, allowing for more creative layouts and designs for your tiny home.
2. A Well-Built, Sturdy Frame
This trailer is built to last, thanks to its heavy-duty 10-inch I-beam construction* on both the main frame and the tongue, which can extend to 6 feet for added stability. As a result, this robust design not only ensures your trailer can handle the weight of your tiny home but also provides the structural integrity needed for long-term durability. Moreover, with its reinforced framework, you can trust that your foundation will remain strong and reliable for years to come. This extremely rigid trailer, Deckover Tiny House Trailer, is super popular for our customers doing 10ft wide up to 12ft wide decks.
3. Ideal Deck Height for Suspension
We optimized the 34-36 inch deck height (final height varies by length, width, and capacity) to ensure proper suspension cycling for the wheels underneath. This design not only ensures a smooth ride but also maintains a low profile, which helps prevent any obstructions that could interfere with your tiny house’s build. Additionally, optimizing the deck height allows for proper suspension cycling, further enhancing stability and overall performance.
4. Extra Interior Space with a Bump-Out
One standout feature of this trailer is the interior bump-out that measures 56 inches wide by 28 inches deep. This is an optional add-on for $575. You can use this extra space for various purposes, such as accommodating an AC condenser or housing other essential equipment, all while maintaining the trailer’s turning radius and adding extra living areas. Here is a picture of how we utilized the bump-out for interior space on our very own tiny house below
5. Dual 12,000lb Jacks for Easy Leveling
many of our customers who order Deckover Tiny House Trailers select the optional dual 12,000lb jacks at the front of the deck. When combined with the custom bump-out, the jacks not only avoid obstructing the building area but also enable independent leveling. Additionally, this setup enhances flexibility, making it easier to adjust the trailer on uneven terrain. This feature makes it much easier to adjust the trailer and ensure a perfectly level foundation for your tiny house, even on uneven ground.
6. Customizable and Built for Insulation
The outer frame of the trailer is designed with a 2×6 Box Tube around the perimeter, and the crossmembers are upgraded to 5×2 box tubes for added strength.* This frame design also allows for 5 inches of subfloor insulation, creating a well-insulated base for your tiny home. With the addition of spray foam insulation, you’ll have a high R-value for energy efficiency.
7. No Fenders, Just Flexibility
One of the best things about the Deckover trailer design is the absence of fenders, which are common on traditional trailers. This design gives you much more freedom when planning your tiny house layout since there are no obstructions to work around. As a result, you can place doors and other openings exactly where you need them, and the sturdy frame ensures you can do so without compromising the trailer’s structural integrity. For example, on the 30ft x 10ft wide tiny house shown below, the 9ft wide accordion doors would have collided with the fenders on a standard trailer. To avoid this issue, we chose a deckover, allowing us to install the doors seamlessly over the wheels.
8. Popular Choice for Single-Level Tiny Homes
In the past couple of years, the demand for Deckover trailers has soared, especially among builders opting for single-level tiny homes. The 10ft wide trailer makes it easy to build a tiny house without the need for a loft, eliminating the complexity of headers across fenders and making the framing process simpler.
9. Built to Handle the Weight
This trailer is designed to carry the weight of your tiny home. With the added cross bracing between the I-beams,* it is truly overbuilt for durability. The trailer’s strong frame ensures that it can support even the heaviest builds, giving you peace of mind as you embark on your tiny house build.
10. Able to Be Fully Insulated and No Cold Spots
Unlike many other trailers that use flanges, our Deckover trailers stand out because they allow for full insulation across the entire width. As a result, you get a more uniform and energy-efficient foundation for your tiny home. This results in a uniform, insulated subfloor, preventing cold spots and improving the energy efficiency of your tiny house.
