house trailers
Towable living quarters
House trailers are mobile homes—prefabricated dwellings designed to be towed to a site and set up as permanent or semi-permanent residences.
The term distinguishes them from travel trailers meant for recreational use.
House trailers typically occupy lots in trailer parks, connected to utilities: They lived in a house trailer outside town.
The term has largely given way to "mobile home" or "manufactured home."
