TUMBLEWEED TRAILER Made in the USA, Tumbleweed trailers create a perfect foundation for your home. Designed specifically to carry your most prized possession - your home.

SAFETY

Tumbleweed ensures your quality-built trailer comes standard with brakes, lights, underside flashing and special trailer radial tires. These tires are a significant upgrade from tires normally found on utility trailers and extremely important for your safety. These radials differ from traditional bias-ply tires in their construction, minimizing tread wear and improving flexibility for better handling with heavier loads. The tires we use are designed specifically for trailers with heavier loads and carry a manufacturer’s warranty of four years. We use steel belted Grand Ride ST235/75R25, rated at 2540 lbs per tire, 5080 lbs per axle that should provide you with 30,000 miles of service with proper care and maintenance. You should be checking the tire pressure on all your vehicles once a month at a minimum. Our suspension package, with multiple 5,000 lb axles, comfortably carries the weight of you tiny home. Standard 3,500 lb axles found on standard trailers may not meet your needs.
