TRUSTED IN TENNESSEE SINCE 1932
Why Choose Wallace for Bunkhouse & Sleeper Trailers?
A bunkhouse trailer is a housing decision, not just a trailer purchase. Bed count, bathroom access, HVAC, and power all follow from where the crew is working and how long they are there. We have been outfitting Tennessee crews since 1932, and our bunkhouse and sleeper units are built by Elkhart Trailer Company.
Layouts for the Crew You Have
Bunkhouse trailers range from open-bay sleepers that bed a full crew to units with private rooms and a full bathroom on board. Head count, shift pattern, and how long the crew stays all change which layout makes sense.
Built by Elkhart Trailer Company
Our bunkhouse and sleeper units come from Elkhart Trailer Company, an American builder that specializes in office, specialty, and crew-housing trailers rather than treating them as a sideline.
Family Owned Since 1932
Wallace Trailers has been family owned and operated since 1932. Crew housing is a considered purchase, and we would rather talk you into the right unit than the biggest one.

FAQ
Bunkhouse & Sleeper Trailers — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bunkhouse trailer?
A bunkhouse or sleeper trailer is mobile sleeping quarters on a towable chassis — bunks or private rooms, climate control, and in many builds a full bathroom. It lets a crew stay on or near the job site instead of commuting or booking rooms, which is why they show up on construction and pipeline work, storm response, harvest crews, and film production.
How many people does a bunkhouse trailer sleep?
It depends entirely on the layout. Open-bay units bed the most people in the least space, while private-room configurations trade capacity for privacy and are easier to live in over a long deployment. Tell us your head count and how long the crew will be on site and we will point you at the right layout.
Do bunkhouse trailers have bathrooms and showers?
Many do — some builds include a full bathroom on board, others are designed to pair with a separate bathroom trailer or shower trailer. Which approach is cheaper depends on crew size, so it is worth pricing both.
What hookups does a bunkhouse trailer need?
Plan for power, water, and waste. Some units run self-contained on onboard tanks and a generator for a stretch; others expect shore power and a water and sewer connection. Tell us where the trailer will be parked and for how long, and we will make sure the spec matches the site.
Which brands of bunkhouse trailers do you carry?
Our bunkhouse and sleeper units are built by Elkhart Trailer Company, an American manufacturer focused on office, specialty, and crew-housing trailers. Browse the listings above to see current configurations, or call us about ordering a layout we do not have on the lot.
Do you service bunkhouse trailers after the sale?
We do. Our in-house service department handles maintenance and repairs — brakes, bearings, lighting, HVAC, and the plumbing and electrical systems these units depend on. Delivery is available across the region. We are at 1440 TN-96, Burns, TN 37029, open Monday–Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
