Question 1

What kind of tiny homes do you build?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in the design and construction of Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOWs). Our tiny homes are built to order in our build shop. All of our tiny homes are permanently affixed to a trailer chassis. We do not build Tiny Homes on foundations nor do we build on site.

Question 2

Do you make tiny homes without wheels? Do you make foundation tiny homes?

Accepted Answer

No. We are strictly a THOW (Tiny Home on Wheels) builder. While the tires can be removed, the axles will remain. The structural framing of the home cannot be detached from the trailer chassis.

How does delivery work?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Can I order multiple tiny homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though we are not a large-scale tiny home production company.

We build between 10-16 tiny homes a year and our homes are built one at a time in order to provide quality communication and production. We typically limit clients who purchase multiple tiny homes to a maximum of 1-3 homes per year to allow room for other clients. Feel free to reach out to us for more information.

Question 7

Can I visit you and tour a tiny home?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are open by appointment only. View our 'Visit us / Tours'(https://www.backcountrytinyhomes.com/visit-us) page to schedule yourself for a tour.

Question 8

Will my car or truck be able to tow a tiny home?

Accepted Answer

Tiny homes vary in size. Here is the general rule of thumb for tiny home vehicle requirements.

• Tiny Home Lengths
    • up to 20-ft: 1/2 Ton Vehicle
    • 20-ft thru 28-ft: 3/4 Ton Vehicle
    • 28-ft+: 1 Ton Vehicle

The weight of a tiny home is, approximately, 500lbs / LF (linear foot of trailer) for an 8.5-ft wide tiny home. This means a 24-ft long tiny home would weigh approximately 12,000lbs (24 x 500 = 12,000)

For towing, assume 115% of home’s weight for tow capacity. This means a 24-ft tiny home would require a vehicle that can tow at least 13,800lbs (12,000 x 1.15 = 13,800).

Question 9

Do you offer a tiny home warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer a tiny home warranty which will be defined in the contract you sign prior to construction on your home.
