house trailer

Towable living quarters

A house trailer is a large wheeled vehicle designed for human habitation, either towed behind a car or truck or parked semi-permanently at a site.

The term emphasizes living quarters over mobility, distinguishing it from travel trailers meant for vacation use.

House trailers range from modest single-wides to spacious manufactured homes: They raised three kids in that house trailer.
