Tiny Homes and Park Model ADUs

A tiny home on wheels or a park model can serve as a backyard unit, and in some places it is easier to put in than a permanent ADU because it is titled as a vehicle rather than a building. In others it is simply illegal to live in full time, so this category carries a check-your-own-city warning the rest do not. Build quality varies more here than anywhere else in the small-home world, from carefully engineered units to a shed on a trailer, and the failure rate among builders is high enough that we check a company is still trading. The ones we list certify to RVIA or the ANSI park model standard, publish weights and axle ratings, and are straight about what long-term occupancy allows.
