The Tramp manual says:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   *Note* that some user options and variables described in these
examples are not auto loaded by Emacs.  All examples require TRAMP is
installed and loaded:

     (require 'tramp)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

See (info "(tramp) Configuration")
