About

Vision and Reach in Trailer Customization

The Comforts of Home story began in 2003 when owner and mechanical engineer Brad Martin began building custom trailers part-time in his Gurnee, Illinois, driveway.

Brad’s passion and focus developed into a full-service facility with thousands of square feet of warehouse and production space. Today, COHSI can create 20 specialized trailers in the time it once took Brad to finish one – and our capabilities only continue to grow.

Quality: The Drive for Excellence

Still family-owned with three generations involved in daily operations, Comforts of Home continues to lead in defining what is possible with trailer customization.

To keep innovation the force behind efficient, imaginative and accommodating mobile trailers, we test new designs, features and materials throughout the year. Those that pass our inspections are added to our standard specs or vast selection of available options.

We also work hard in establishing the supply arrangements, relationships and inventories that keep costs as competitive as we can make them within current market conditions.

As our customer, you can choose from our many pre-drafted layouts or request that your custom trailer be built to your requirements. COHSI specialized trailers range from compact 8-foot towable units to 53-foot semi-trailers. You will find them at sites and events throughout all 50 states, Canada and many international locations.

Mobile Means More Than Ever

The need for quality mobile trailers has significantly expanded with the cultural shift in the ways people gather and work. As competition in the trailer market increases, mobility now means even more than the full convenience of a custom trailer.

It also means serving with flexibility that solves and creates to support changing demands. It equally calls for transparent communication and following through on one’s word.

As community-rooted pioneers of mobile solutions, COSHI understands how and where a unit must perform for people, especially for outreach initiatives that bring services or relief to those who need it most. The optimal use of layout and space becomes vital. Proper function, sanitation and safety depend on sharp attention to details.

Mobile Trailers Are About People

COHSI has built more than 3,500 custom trailers to date. Such diverse experience has led to unforgettable stories of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things.

While COHSI custom trailers set industry benchmarks of comfort and quality, they also serve as vehicles of change and compassion.

Through our involvement, we are able to see powerful acts of humanity such as providing a warm shower that returns personal dignity to those who have been living on the streets; delivering healthcare for families who contend with limited access; and offering disaster relief through emergency teams manning a mobile response station.

True to Today and the Future

Each day we gather to work and to serve at Comforts of Home, we will continue to excel in mobile solutions. From shower trailers and restroom trailers to medical and crisis-response trailers, you can see our dedication and passion in every custom unit that rolls from our warehouse to perform a new mission.

As we stay busy serving the day, we also look ahead to what yet remains possible for specialized trailers. Beyond mission-specific units, more public events such as concerts, weddings and festivals are moving outdoors in a post-pandemic world. These settings call for mobile infrastructure that is stylish and clean while meeting expectations for health and sanitation.

Because of this focus, individuals and businesses will continue to be drawn to inventive designs and material upgrades. You can also expect us to be at the vanguard of future custom-trailer improvements in areas such as:

 

Achievement Through Collaboration

Quality trailer design and construction are vital for a reputation with a nationwide reach. However, that’s only part of success.

A renowned custom-trailer manufacturer must also center on dedicated partnerships. At COHSI, collaboration is crucial. As our customer, you want to be served by those who are vested in your objective from concept to completion. You want a partner who is as serious about your mission as you are.

Whether serving nonprofits, municipal agencies, faith-based groups, construction companies, emergency responders or outreach organizations, Comforts of Home always starts with listening and spending a “day in the life” of your vision for your specialized trailer. We want to know all we can about your goals and your challenges.

We want to find out how we can help you make the day better for somebody else. In the end, that is what builds the bridge of teamwork and trust that collaborators can always cross with confidence.
