The marketplace for stays on wheels

Wheelhouse is a two-sided marketplace where guests book unique trailer-style stays — fifth wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers, Airstreams, pop-ups, teardrops, luxury RVs, and even the occasional yurt-on-wheels — directly from the people who own and care for them.

Hosts list their trailer once and choose how guests interact with it: stationary on a permanent campsite, delivered and set up at the guest's preferred location, or available for self-tow. Guests filter on the things that actually matter for this kind of stay — sleeping capacity, hookups, delivery range, towability, pet policy — and book in the same flow they expect from any modern travel app.

If you've tried to book a trailer on a generic short-term-rental site, you've seen the seams: vague photos of a campsite, no information about whether the unit will be hauled to you, no clear answer to the question of how many people can actually sleep there. Generic platforms were designed for houses. They make hosts work hard to communicate what makes a trailer stay specifically a trailer stay, and they make guests do detective work to figure out what they're actually buying.

Wheelhouse bakes those details into the listing model. Every listing answers the same questions in the same place, so comparing a self-tow Airstream in Sedona against a delivered fifth wheel in Lake Tahoe takes about ninety seconds.

We charge a small service fee on each booking — split between guests and hosts — and that's it. There are no listing fees, no monthly subscriptions, no “featured” placement to buy. Hosts keep the great majority of every payout.

• Guest service fee: 12% of the booking subtotal.
• Host fee: 3% of the host payout.
• Taxes are calculated based on the listing location and added on top of the subtotal at checkout.

If you want the gritty details, the cancellation policy page covers refunds, and the terms of service cover the rest.

Hosts deserve a real business tool

Hosting a trailer is a real side business — sometimes a real primary business. Our dashboard treats it like one: photos that re-order with two clicks, calendar blocks that don't fight you, instant payouts when bookings clear, pricing rules that handle weekends and seasons without spreadsheets.

Guests deserve clear answers

If a listing doesn't deliver, the listing should say so. If the host requires a tow vehicle, the listing should say so. If pets are welcome, the listing should say so. We push hosts to fill in the unambiguous details so guests stop second-guessing.

Trips should feel low-stakes

Cancellation policies are tiered and predictable. Communication runs through the platform so there's a paper trail. Payments are authorized at booking and only captured when the host confirms — no pre-pay anxiety, no hosts waiting on payouts that never come.

Wheelhouse is a small team that's spent more weekends than is healthy figuring out what makes a trailer trip actually go well. We come from product, engineering, and the outdoor industry. We're distributed, opinionated, and hiring — see the careers page if you want to help.
