Let’s see the various home styles and their average kitchen sizes.
A Home’s Average Kitchen Size

A Trailer House Average Kitchen Size

A trailer house is a mobile home usually with a standard size of about 20ft. by 80ft. On the other hand, a single wide trailer house would typically measure less than 15ft. in width while the length can be up to 72ft. But, a double wide home reaches 20ft. width and 90ft. length.
