    This is too cute, and what a great idea. It’s like stepping into a vintage camper. The colors are great! I love the authentic looking floor. Great job!

    What a great idea! The colors are perfect, and the floor looks so authentic. It’s like stepping into a vintage camper for sure. I am assuming the chairs fold into a bed The front porch is so pretty with the victorian looking brackets. Great job!

    There is a bit of color confusion here. The black does not go well with the other colors. Else it looks nice.

    Wonderful little home! Colours are great! Nice work. What is especially nice, from my perspective, is the small kitchen. As a non cook, its the ideal kitchen, yet it has enough space that some who does cook, could.
    Its fun.

    I love tiny houses made from small travel trailers. They look amazing and very fun to live in. I’ve never actually lived in one myself. I don’t drive and I probably never will. I have no money to have a car or car insurance. I’m on SSI Disability. My only mode of transportation is the bus, my legs, my bike, and a combination of my bike and the bus or the bus and walking. I want a permanent place of my very own to live in 24 hours a day 7 days a week except for when I’m visiting friends or family. But the only thing is I have no place to put the place where I can live in it. Also I don’t have the money to buy the place or for the property either. But it would be a dream come true if this was to really happen for me. It has always been a dream of mine for many years. I would want a place big enough to house all my furniture comfortably inside the place. Right now I live with my parents and my adult daughter. The furniture I have is all in my bedroom. Plus I have a bicycle in the garage of my parents home. The only areas I could live in is Holiday FL or New Port Richey FL or Port Richey FL . That way I’m not too far away from my family in New Port Richey FL and my family in Palm Harbor FL. But without the funds to actually be able to do this my dream is just a dream and that’s the way its aways going to be.
