trailer house — REDUKT tiny houses

Tent vacations in the woods or at a campground are usually seen as roughing it. But you don't have to give up the comforts of a hotel to enjoy the great outdoors. A new trend called glamping or exclusive camping is catching on in Poland and Europe.

Luxury camping

Glamping lets you enjoy the outdoors while still having all the comforts of home. It includes luxury tents with extra gear, yurts and cabins on wheels.

Wooden mobile houses are a great acommodation for glamping because they can be placed in locations that are hard to get to and that aren't obvious.

REDUKT houses as micro hotels in the forest

REDUKT offers micro hotels in the wilderness. REDUKT tiny houses on trailers can be parked on beautiful plots of land and don't require a building permit. They're small but have everything you need for comfortable stays: a living area with a fully equipped kitchen, a rest zone with sleeping place for 2-6 people and a bathroom with shower, as well as air conditioning or a wood stove. They can also be equipped with off-grid systems and appliances that let you run them on plots without access to utilities, like solar panels and a water tank. Our REDUKT houses are great for both private and business use. We build them from natural, certified materials, so they’re environment- and resident-friendly homes.

Glamping in houses on wheels

Companies like Raus, Bento Houses and Unyoked are gaining a lot of followers for stays in micro apartments that are away from the hustle and bustle of cities. Getaway Houses and Raus are developing a true network of cabin rentals that are immersed in green surroundings. They are attracting more and more guests who want to reconnect with nature and at the same time relax in comfort and ease.

We need to spend more time close to nature, with limited access to the outside world. We spend our days in crowded cities, dividing our attention between social media and reality. It's only when we taste the tranquility that reconnecting with nature brings that we realize this very need.

Glamping is one way to solve this problem.

The mobility of a house on a trailer is undoubtedly one of the advantages of a micro house, thanks to which people who value freedom of choice and change of plans decide to buy it. Traveling with a house on wheels – how does it actually look? What requirements must a house meet in order to be able to move around with it?

To legally drive a mobile home on roads, we must meet several important conditions.

Requirements, documents, vehicle registration

Our REDUKT houses are built on trailers that meet the requirements and have European approval up to 3.5 tons. This means that the trailer has its own approval, and the house is formally a load. To be allowed to travel on public roads, a trailer must have appropriate documents. The CoC document, i.e. the certificate of conformity from the registration office, declares that the vehicle is of an approved type. Refers to a specific chassis number and contains all technical features and vehicle data such as weight and dimensions. These data must meet certain standards for approval in the EU: the weight of the load with the trailer cannot exceed 3.5 tons, and the maximum permissible dimensions of the load are 2.55 m in width and 4 m in height (including the trailer). To move on public roads, it is of course necessary to register the trailer.

“Cargo package”

REDUKT houses can be detached from the trailer. We call this functionality the "cargo package" and it consists of steel reinforcements in the floor enabling the house to be lifted, an approved connection of the cargo (house) to the trailer during transport, and special elements securing the house to the trailer when parked.

Traveling on public roads

Traveling with a house on wheels also requires specific permissions, skills and security measures. The driver must have a driving license B+E category, skills enabling him to drive a combination of vehicles (car and trailer with load) with a GVW exceeding 3.5 tons, and appropriate liability insurance. The car must also be able to tow a trailer weighing 3.5 tons (which is indicated in the registration certificate). In practice, this possibility is available to selected off-road vehicles, pick-ups and delivery vans.

Traveling with a mobile home in practice

Before setting off on a trip, it is necessary to secure moving elements inside the house that could cause damage to furniture and equipment, e.g. shower doors or pull-out drawers and cabinet fronts.

If you plan to travel with your home, it is necessary to design and equip it appropriately. The safety of the structure during movement is influenced by, among others: window surface protection and optimal balance. It is worth considering installing elements of an off-grid package in a house intended for location changes. Using a separating toilet or water tank will significantly facilitate the functioning of your home when you want to change your place of living.

With a properly prepared mobile home, you can make your dreams come true and enjoy an unprecedented sense of freedom :)
