It is a part of the brand's Sojourner series and it rests on a [triple-axle trailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-tiny) as the base foundation, measuring 30 feet. It boasts an impressive design to optimize on flexibility whilst also delivering all of the components for [off-grid living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-chord). In terms of the exterior, it is complete in red cedar and black aluminum for a minimal yet elevated look. Additionally, there is a section that slides out to increase the width of the home from 8 feet to 11 feet. This is manually completed and it rests on two sets of rails, requiring the work of two people, to lock it into place.
