At first glance, this cargo trailer appears to be nothing more than a utility vehicle used for hauling lawn equipment and other bulky items. However, stepping inside reveals a stunning interior reminiscent of a cozy cabin nestled deep in the woods. This unique creation is the home of artist and sign maker Caley Cason, who shares it with his cat.
While the exterior features a window and propane tanks, the overall design is inconspicuous, making it difficult to distinguish this trailer from a typical travel trailer. A solar panel on the roof goes unnoticed to most observers. Caley purchased the trailer for $8,500 and proceeded to convert it into a tiny home right in his own driveway. The total cost of the project amounts to approximately $25,000 and involved about 500 hours of labor. Caley actually lived inside the trailer during the construction process.
With 88 square feet of space, the interior of the trailer draws inspiration from classic apothecaries. Wood is prominently featured throughout, with intricately carved cabinets adorned with tree motifs reminiscent of an alpine chalet. An artificial tree trunk cleverly conceals wiring for fairy lights on the ceiling, creating a magical ambiance when illuminated. Neon accent lighting further enhances the fantastical atmosphere of the trailer.
The kitchen is equipped with a sink topped with a wooden cutting board, along with shelves that provide ample storage space for various items. Caley has a two-burner gas stove for cooking, as well as a 30-gallon fresh water capacity. Thoughtful details, such as a carved deer head and a custom holder for a cleaver, add to the charm of the space.
A full bathroom is also included in the design, featuring a shower tray that doubles as a livestock water tank, providing ample bathing space for Caley.
The work area consists of a standing desk and a shelf for Caley’s computer, positioned directly in front of a window for a pleasant view of the surroundings. A lower shelf is designated for his cat’s comfort.
In the rear of the trailer is Caley’s sleeping area, elevated off the ground to allow for storage of clothing and other belongings underneath.
Caley resides in Boulder, Colorado, and while he does not mention taking his stealthy tiny home trailer elsewhere, he does have an SUV for towing purposes. The unassuming exterior of the trailer allows Caley to blend in seamlessly while traveling, with most people not giving it a second glance as he drives down the road or parks it for overnight stays.
Recent times have seen an influx of impressive custom camping solutions, such as a black Ram ProMaster with a luxurious cabin interior resembling an upscale apartment. Additionally, an Isuzu box truck with a beautifully designed rear section has also caught attention in the stealth camper community.
