She Turned an Ugly Trailer Into a Bright Tiny Home for Just $300!

What if you could completely transform an old, dark travel trailer into a bright, cheerful tiny home—for less than $300? In this video, we revisit our friend Kathleen, whom many of you met when she told us about moving alone to Mexico in her 70s. Since then, Kathleen has taken a tiny Trail-Lite Crossover trailer and completely reinvented it.
