  • Tiny Homes Perth is a registered (WMI) World Manufacturer Identifier, this allows us to build our own trailers through a quality management system. Rather than build the TinyHome around the trailer size we build the Trailer to to the required Tiny Home size. This includes our smaller 3500kg and larger 4500kg trailers.

  • As a (WMI) manufactuer our trailers are given a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), this allows the trailer to be registered throughout Australia.

    There are plenty of posts going around suggesting a Tiny home is not intended to be shifted long distances, this is not a fact, while they are suitable for registration they can simply be towed with the right vehicle.
