What is the difference between this and a single wide trailer home?

This home is far smaller than the average single-wide. I looked around online for floor plans and it appears that the smallest plans available are 600sqft or larger.

I'm also a delivery driver with a large (>200 unit) trailer park nearby and none of the homes come close to being this small. Additionally you will note that the trailer that the tiny house is situated on has a fifth wheel for being pulled by a truck, while a single-wide typically will be on a platform with a conventional style hitch.

This makes people 'trendy', trailer makes people 'white trash'?

Personally I see no difference between this house and trailer.

This is closer in size to a travel trailer.
