Summer Starts with Smarter Design

Heat waves and long weekends shouldn’t be at odds with comfort. Clever Tiny Homes are engineered to keep your space livable, even when temperatures spike.

Every model is built with R-27 floor insulation and a subfloor that’s fully separated from the trailer’s metal frames, eliminating thermal bridging and drastically improving energy efficiency. This isn’t typical in tiny home construction, but it makes a major difference when the sun is relentless.

Additional summer-ready features include:

  • Large, double-pane tempered glass windows for natural light and airflow, with operable openings in every room (except near the entry and rear wall).
  • Drywall with fiberglass reinforcement—a finish you’d expect in high-end homes, adding both strength and a clean modern interior.
  • Waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring that stands up to wet sandals, pets, or daily use without warping or fading.
  • Built to International Residential Code standards and certified under ANSI 119.5, giving you structural integrity with placement flexibility.

Underneath it all, a sealed polypropylene trailer underbelly protects your home’s plumbing and insulation from moisture, pests, and the elements, whether you’re parked in the woods or by the coast.

In short: this is a home that stays cool, holds up, and keeps working, summer after summer.

Designed for Now. Built to Last.

Clever ships a limited number of models. That repeat-until-perfect philosophy shows up in the finish list:

  • Kitchen: 12′ quartzite countertop, dual-burner induction cooktop, vented hood, 9 cu ft fridge, microwave drawer
  • Bath: Bathtub or full-size shower, residential toilet, vent fan
  • Sleeping: Queen Murphy bed (studio) or main-floor bedroom with storage headboard (38-ft model)
  • Structure: LVL framing, cedar rainscreen, metal roof, SPC flooring, quartz counters

Everything rolls out of the factory RV-certified via NOAH, so you can park it anywhere an RV is allowed and hook up via standard 30-amp service.
