The Sunrise Tiny House by Saly Karavan is a 20-foot mobile home built on a hot-dip galvanised double-axle trailer with a 3,000-kilogram axle capacity, allowing it to be transported on public roads without requiring oversized-load permits. Clad in American siding beneath a shingle roof, with an optional Finnish pine exterior finish, the home features double-glazed windows, a living area with a convertible sofa bed and under-seat storage, plus a separate storage loft above the lounge. A fixed sleeping loft positioned over the kitchen and bathroom accommodates a double bed beneath a skylight, bringing total sleeping capacity to four occupants.
The compact kitchen integrates a Thetford three-burner stove, sink and 152-litre 12V compressor refrigerator, while the bathroom includes a shower, toilet, washbasin and mirrored cabinet behind a sliding door. Off-grid equipment supports up to four 205W monocrystalline solar panels, gel or lithium battery systems and a 125-litre freshwater tank.
