INDIE TRAILERS:
for savvy film producers

✓ LIGHTWEIGHT + EASY TRANSPORT – TOWABLE BY A PICKUP TRUCK

🔑 Features That Matter!

  • Individually Furnished: Every room is thoughtfully decorated to feel like a cozy, home-like retreat for cast members.
  • Low-Entry Design: Sits closer to the ground than traditional trailers, eliminating bulky folding metal staircases and reducing injury risk — especially in slippery conditions.
  • Year-Round Comfort: Each room has individual heating and A/C, plus superior insulation to handle Canadian winters and summer heat alike. Good insulation means less heat loss, which is why our trailers are not “hungry” when it comes to power consumption.
  • Power Smart:
    • Each trailer is ESA certified and requires just a single 30A twist-lock connection
    • Can run on two household 20A circuits (Dief box compatible)
    • Compatible with standard “putt-putt” 6500w portable generators (10kw generator available for rent, which will power both trailers simultaneously)
  • No Special License Needed: Lightweight aluminum build — towable by a standard ¾-ton pickup truck.
  • Plug-In Ready: Every room includes an AC outlet for phones, laptops, and small electronics.
  • Energy-Efficient Lighting:
    • Interior: Soft low-power LED lighting
    • Exterior: Built-in LED flood lights provide nighttime area/safety lighting — no extra lighting towers needed.

Where the savings come from

Lower cost

No large generator, no generator operator, no tractor and driver.

Faster setup

Towed in by a pickup, levelled on blocks and plugged in.

Less to run

One 30A connection per trailer. Runs off house power or a small putt-putt.

What types of trailers do you offer?

We offer two types of trailers: a 3-room trailer and a 5-room trailer, both designed for comfort and efficiency in film production.

How are your trailers different?

Our trailers are made out of aluminium framing, which allows them to be lightweight enough to be towed by a 3/4 ton pickup truck. The rooms in these trailers are larger than what standard ‘honey wagon’ trailer with multiple rooms for cast provides. The rooms are also individually decorated and furnished – making the actor feel like home when they are resting in their own “dressing room”.

Are your trailers climate controlled?

Yes, each room of the trailer is equipped with a heater, and for the summer months we also install floor AC units.

What is the booking process for your trailers?

Just send us a message from Contact Us page here, and we will respond promptly! Rates and Availability are quickly negotiated over email and/or phone.

Do you provide support during the rental period?

Yes, we offer full remote support during the rental period to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our team is available to assist with any questions or issues that may arise, providing peace of mind for your production.
