portable homes

Homes on wheels

Portable homes are dwellings designed to be moved from one location to another.

The term covers mobile homes, manufactured homes, and trailers—structures built in factories and transported to sites.

It also includes tiny homes on wheels and RVs used as primary residences.

They lived in a portable home while saving for a house.

The phrase sometimes appears in marketing to avoid the stigma attached to "trailer" or "mobile home."
