How to Access Trevor’s Safehouse in GTA 5: A Complete Guide
Gaining access to Trevor Philips’ various safehouses in Grand Theft Auto V can be a bit confusing for some players. Unlike Michael and Franklin, Trevor’s living arrangements are less straightforward, often tied to specific missions and story progression. This guide will detail exactly how to get into Trevor’s safehouses, along with answers to frequently asked questions about his properties, vehicles, and more.
Getting into Trevor’s Main Trailer Safehouse
The initial safehouse that Trevor uses is his dilapidated trailer located in Sandy Shores. However, you can’t just walk in whenever you please, especially at the beginning of his storyline. Here’s the process you need to follow:
- Mission Requirement: Trevor’s trailer remains locked until you complete the mission “Damaged Goods.” This mission is crucial for unlocking the property.
- The Deludamol Van: During “Damaged Goods,” Trevor’s mother, Mrs. Phillips, demands he finds a Deludamol van. This van is your key to unlocking the trailer.
- Finding the Van: The van can be found in various locations around Los Santos hospitals and pharmacies. Alternatively, getting wasted can sometimes land you at a hospital with a higher chance of finding the Deludamol truck.
- Returning to the Trailer: Once you’ve located and acquired the Deludamol van, drive it back to the trailer in Sandy Shores.
- Entering the Safehouse: After completing these steps and delivering the van, Trevor’s trailer will unlock and become accessible as his primary safehouse.
Gaining Access to Trevor’s Second Safehouse
Trevor also has a second, less obvious safehouse, which is quite different from his trailer. Here’s how you get inside:
- The Vanilla Unicorn: Trevor’s second safehouse is located within the Vanilla Unicorn, a strip club. It is not beside the club but inside it.
- The Back Office: The safehouse is essentially the back office of the Vanilla Unicorn.
- Back Door Entry: You can gain access to this safehouse by walking around to the back door of the Vanilla Unicorn and walking right in. There are no special missions required to access this safehouse once Trevor is an available playable character.
FAQs About Trevor’s Safehouses and More
Here are some frequently asked questions to give you a comprehensive understanding of Trevor’s safehouses, cars, and gameplay mechanics:
Safehouse Specific Questions
1. Why is Trevor’s house locked?
As mentioned earlier, Trevor's trailer is initially locked to emphasize its dependence on his mother's mission. It **only unlocks after you complete “Damaged Goods”** and deliver the Deludamol van.
2. Where is Trevor’s secret room?
The "secret room" is actually the **character creation room** from the very beginning of the game. It's designed to look like it's inside a police station, complete with a room where mugshots are taken. A book with Trevor's profile is situated on a desk just outside the mugshot room. However, this area is generally only accessed in story cutscenes and not as a safehouse.
3. What happens after you complete Trevor’s Mom’s mission?
After completing "Damaged Goods" and delivering the van, Trevor's mother **disappears**. It is implied she may have a drug addiction, and this is why she needed the medication. Her whereabouts after this point are not disclosed in the game.
4. Where do you find the Deludamol truck for Trevor’s mom?
You can find the **Deludamol van** at various **hospitals and pharmacies** around Los Santos. A quicker, though less reliable, method is to get wasted and hope you respawn at a hospital where the truck is likely to spawn.
5. Is there a way to buy Trevor a new house?
No, unlike in GTA Online, you **cannot purchase new properties for Trevor**, or either of the other characters (Michael and Franklin), within the single player story. Only Franklin gains a new home via a mission during the story.
Vehicle Related Questions
6. How do you save cars in Trevor’s safe house?
To save vehicles, you must physically park them in the garage of any of Trevor’s safehouses. Once parked, the game will automatically save the car to that particular safehouse. Each of the three main characters have their own separate garages.
7. How many cars can Trevor store?
Trevor has two safehouses, each with a garage. At his main trailer, the garage can hold two cars parked in line. The Vanilla Unicorn parking lot and back office area can store more, and do not have height limitations.
Gameplay Mechanics Related Questions
8. How long does Trevor sleep?
Trevor sleeps for a **whopping 12 hours**, which is the longest amount of sleep among the three main characters in GTA V. This aligns with his chaotic and unrestrained lifestyle, which the game seems to be highlighting. Michael sleeps for 6 hours, and Franklin sleeps for 8 hours.
9. How long does it take to unlock Trevor as a playable character?

10. Why does Trevor sleep for 12 hours?
