Trailer Made Custom Trailers

What Trailer Made Custom Trailers does

Trailer Made Custom Trailers, LLC is a privately held, family- and woman-owned custom trailer manufacturer founded in 2013 and headquartered in a single manufacturing facility at 1001 Industrial Ave, Olathe, Colorado. The company engineers and fabricates all-tube steel trailer foundations and related cold-formed steel framing products, with a primary focus on residential-load applications such as tiny houses, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and mobile commercial builds, plus complementary commercial product lines (deck-over, equipment, car hauler, raft trailers). Its core technology stack is mechanical and structural: AWS D1.1/D1.5 certified welding, all-tube steel superstructures, custom axle placement engineered to actual load calculations, and a three-stage Hentzen epoxy/urethane military-grade finish. The company operates as an NHTSA-licensed RV OEM, allowing it to issue VINs and certify compliance against IRC Appendix Q, ANSI A119.5, and NFPA 1192, and to back every trailer with a limited lifetime warranty.

The business operates a quote-based, one-time-purchase revenue model with no disclosed recurring SaaS or subscription component. Price points span roughly $5,000 for entry-level custom trailers to $45,000+ for extra-heavy-duty 32-40 ft tiny house trailers with 21K-28K GVWR ratings, with DIY Tiny House Kits and Shell Packages layering adjacent revenue. Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct sales (phone, website quote form, factory visits) and a channel network of 35+ tiny home builder partners across North America, including Tiny Heirloom, SimBLISSity Tiny Homes, Modern Tiny Living, and New Frontier Tiny Homes. Customer segments include DIY tiny house builders, ADU and backyard home builders, professional tiny home builder partners, contractors and equipment owners, and outdoor/rafting operators. Brand-building is anchored in a YouTube channel ("The Tiny House Experts"), a podcast ("The Tiny House Talk Show"), and active social media on Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok.

Leadership is concentrated among founders Natalie DesChamp (Owner/CEO) and Damon DesChamp (GM/COO), supported by a small named management team (Design Manager Kade Schuldit, Plant Foreman Sandy Seevers, Operations Manager Jayce Cormier, Office Manager Tara Hawxby). The company is operationally active, accepting orders and shipping nationwide, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity. Regulatory positioning and an in-house AWS-certified welding workforce are the primary claimed sources of competitive separation in a niche custom-manufacturing category.
