A Real Bike Trailer House
Check this out; a real bike trailer house! It’s not built to be a four-season house but it looks fairly complete and lightweight. It weights only 100 pounds dry. It was built by a guy named Paul who likes to build a cool transportation toys like 3-wheeler bikes.
This camper served as his nomadic home for a week at Burningman. It wasn’t made to work for long road trips but it does sound like a successful proof of concept. Every time I stumble across one of these tiny bike houses it makes me think that a bike pulled tiny house is a perfectly logical low-cost solution for some people.

PVC Teardrop Bike Trailer Update
I got a note from Roy, aka the PVC Bike Guy, and he’s started working on the PVC bike trailer. He’s been using my teardrop bike trailer plans as a starting point and making changes as needed. We’re still noodling over how to make the top part of the frame out of PVC pipe and make door and hatch hinges from PVC pipe. I’ll work on my drawing a little more and include some suggestions from Roy. In the mean time take a look at his progress.
PVC Teardrop Bike Trailer
You might recall that I posted a design concept a while back for an ultralight teardrop shaped tiny house trailer that could theoretically be pulled by a bicycle. Shortly after posting the idea I was contacted by The PVC Bike Guy who wants to build such a trailer. In fact he wants to build one out of scrap PVC pipe and reclaimed building materials. So I’ve been spending some time noodling over how I might approach such a design challenge and this is what I have come up with.
