    I really like this! Using a cargo trailer is a great idea ! Just a couple of thoughts like where do you do your cooking? And with cargo trailers , the doors usually lock from the outside, so is it possible for a bad person to lock you in?

    Thanks for posting the video, it was enjoyable. I liked how practical their setup is. Using a favorite book for wallpaper was a hoot. This also shows that most anyone with the desire (and extra$) can build a usable living space. Great!

    I’m impressed at how livable they’ve made it, with just simple carpentry and not a lot of money. The video did not address the toilet issue. Do they keep something inside? Or set up an outhouse? Did they insulate? Nice to see a home like this–nothing fancy, but plenty of comfort.

    I like it a lot ! It remind me of my truck camping days in the Western U.S. !
