I have always liked the idea of a 'Tiny House' Might even build one someday to live in. On there site was a link to this.
Add a small camp stove on the end and a cooler in the car?

Wow. That's cool. My first thought is security. It seems a little like a stunt because there is no place for any kind of storage, restroom, etc. My mind goes to applications for homeless, flood victims, etc.
Then I realize that prisoners have far more room that this along with cable tv, three meals a day, opportunities for education, libraries, and so on.... don't you wonder about how the world seems upside down sometimes?

I was thinking, add a flip down stove on the bottom so when on its side you have a cooker. cooler for food in car, a pot and skillet in the car and if you want a potty, bring a porta potty, add curtains to the trailer and you have a private potty when upright.
Almost like a transformer but aided by vert or horz placement as to the use.
Kinda like a solid wall tent. Storage is all in vehicle. Heck, you could tow this thing with a bicycle.

Mount it on a trailer "rotisserie-style" so you can take it with you. You just spin it around.

There couldn't be a smaller teardrop than Roly's. That is campable.

What's with the grafitti in the vid? It seems it might be cursing Dubya.

I hear Roly has one that is even smaller. It has no wheels and extends out the rear by about 4 feet. He folds a side down and pulls out a drawer to make it 7 feet when he sleeps in it. He said it's only good for one night.

Perhaps someone has photos of it.

When the college administration sees this, you can bet on dorm capacity gong up considerably.
"It used to be a double room but we discovered there really was room for 8 students."
