Decathlon Tiny Homes introduced the Betty, a 28-foot towable tiny house designed for two people and featuring a kitchen-centered layout with quartz counters and a reverse-osmosis water filtration system. Built on a triple-axle trailer, the Betty uses engineered wood siding and composite roof shingles for durability and low maintenance while delivering residential comforts.
The interior places a well-equipped kitchen at the core, with a farmhouse sink, ample pantry storage, a breakfast bar, two-burner induction cooktop, fridge/freezer and integrated garbage disposal. The layout also includes a ground-floor bedroom with full standing headroom, large storage drawers, plentiful glazing and a loft intended for storage or hobby use rather than legal sleeping.
For couples prioritizing mobility without losing domestic conveniences, the Betty shows how mid-size towables can deliver full-feature functionality in a compact envelope. Its focus on usable ground-floor sleeping and a central kitchen reflects broader tiny-house trends toward livable, resale-ready designs.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Kitchen-centered Layouts
- Central placement of fully equipped kitchens enables elevated culinary functionality and social focal points within very small residential footprints, creating room for premium integrated appliances and storage solutions.
- Towable Mid-size Tiny Homes
- Mid-length towables that balance mobility with residential comforts are making compact, legally towable dwellings viable for couples seeking full-feature living without permanent foundations.
- Durable Low-maintenance Materials
- Use of engineered siding and composite roofing positions longevity and reduced upkeep as selling points, supporting higher resale values and lower lifecycle maintenance costs.
Sectors Adopting This
- Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing
- RV firms can leverage trailer engineering and weight-distribution advances to produce towable homes that deliver true residential amenities while meeting road-safety and towing regulations.
- Modular Kitchen Manufacturing
- Kitchen component makers have a market for compact, multifunctional units tailored to tiny footprints, including integrated induction cooktops, disposal systems, and custom storage for pantry-focused designs.
- Water Filtration and Plumbing Systems
- Specialized water treatment and compact plumbing solutions that incorporate reverse-osmosis and low-footprint waste management are becoming differentiators for portable homes prioritizing health and convenience.
