Tiny Homes on Wheels
A tiny home on wheels (THOW) is a small home built on a road-legal trailer at 8 ft 6 in wide, the maximum width that tows without an oversize permit. KYRAX builds them on trailers from 24 to 38 feet, to CSA Z240 RV for Canada and the RVIA/NOAH pathway for the US, with certification completed before delivery.
Freedom to relocate without sacrificing comfort — that's what a tiny home on wheels delivers. KYRAX trailer-based models are engineered for safe highway transport while providing all the amenities of a permanent home. Whether you're chasing seasonal work, exploring Canada, or simply want the flexibility to move your home to a new property, our THOW (Tiny House on Wheels) lineup gives you options.
01 — What to know
The width is set by the road, and the design follows
Legal towing width in Canada and the US is 8 ft 6 in, and nothing fixed to the shell may project past it. That one number shapes the whole design: there are no true side eaves on a home built to tow, so shadow lines, window reveals and entry recesses are built into the wall instead of hung off it.
Length is where the models differ. The KYRAX lineup runs from 24 ft (the 284 sq ft Vale) through 28 ft (the Vega) to a 38 ft gooseneck (the Stone), which puts a bedroom platform over the hitch instead of inside the main floor. Height is capped by the road too, at 4.15 m as the general BC limit, so the roofline is engineered down to the inch.
Certified as an RV before it leaves the shop
Every KYRAX home on wheels is built to CSA Z240 RV with CMVSS 7D1 for Canada, or to the RVIA/NOAH pathway with NHTSA requirements for US delivery, and certification is completed before the home ships. The label matters in practice: it is what insurers ask about, what many municipalities and parks check, and what keeps the home road legal to tow.
Z240 RV is the recreational vehicle standard. It is not Z241, the park model standard, and not A277, the modular building standard, and the differences decide how a home is classified, financed and placed. The comparison is worth ten minutes before you commit to a format.
Where you can put one is a zoning question
Certification makes a THOW road legal. It does not make it a legal dwelling anywhere in particular, because each municipality decides what counts as a home on its own land. Many municipalities permit a tiny home on wheels on private property, some allow it only as a temporary or accessory use, and several regional districts prohibit RVs and homes on wheels as dwellings in every zone.
Check the rules before you buy, not after. The provincial and state pages on this site publish the figures with their sources, and the lot check tool reads your municipality against the guides we have verified.
Moveable also means a different kind of financing
A home on wheels is personal property, so it is financed like an RV or with a chattel loan, not with a mortgage. Rates and terms differ from real property lending, and that is the trade for mobility: the same wheels that let you relocate keep the home out of the mortgage system.
If mortgage financing matters more than portability, the other formats exist for exactly that reason. The Vista is built to CSA Z241 as a park model and moves by transport permit at 10 ft 6 in wide; the modular models are built to CSA A277, inspected as buildings, and financeable with a mortgage.

03 — Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you tow a tiny home on wheels yourself?
KYRAX tiny homes on wheels ride on heavy-duty rated trailers (the flagship Vale's is 14,000 lb GVWR), so they need a properly rated heavy-duty truck. Most owners choose professional transport for moves — we coordinate delivery to your prepared site.
Do tiny homes on wheels need a permit?
Requirements vary by province and municipality. In most areas, a THOW parked on private property with owner consent is permitted. If you plan to move your home frequently, you may need oversize load permits for highway transport. KYRAX provides guidance for your specific situation.
Are tiny homes on wheels as durable as foundation homes?
Yes. KYRAX builds all homes — trailer and foundation — to the same quality standard. Trailer-based models include reinforced framing, vibration-dampened joints, and road-rated construction to ensure longevity even after multiple moves.
How much does a tiny home on wheels cost?
The Vale starts at $119,900 CAD: 284 sq ft on a 24 ft trailer with a full kitchen, three-piece bathroom and queen loft bedroom. The Vega, Vista and Stone are at waitlist stage with launch pricing announced at consultation.
Are tiny homes on wheels legal to live in?
It depends on the municipality, not the province or state. Many jurisdictions permit a THOW as a dwelling or accessory dwelling on private property, some restrict it to temporary use, and some regional districts prohibit homes on wheels as dwellings in every zone. Check your specific lot before you buy; the lot check tool and the provincial and state pages on this site exist for exactly that question.
What sizes do tiny homes on wheels come in?
All KYRAX homes on wheels are 8 ft 6 in wide, the legal towing width. Lengths run from 24 ft for the 284 sq ft Vale to 28 ft for the Vega and a 38 ft gooseneck for the Stone. Anything wider than 8 ft 6 in moves as an oversize load, which is the practical line between a THOW and a park model.
What is the difference between a tiny home on wheels and a park model?
The standard and the width. A THOW is built to CSA Z240 RV at 8 ft 6 in wide and tows on ordinary highway rules. A park model like the Vista is built to CSA Z241 at 10 ft 6 in wide, so it moves rarely and by transport permit, and lives on a serviced pad or lot. The extra width buys a residential-feeling floor plan; the trade is that the home is no longer casually moveable.
Can you live in a tiny home on wheels year-round in Canada?
Yes, if it is built for it. KYRAX builds for Canadian winters as standard: cold-climate insulation, freeze protection for water lines and tanks, and heating sized to the envelope. A certification label alone does not guarantee winter performance, so ask any builder what is actually in the wall assembly.
