Travel trailers can seem like a practical answer to housing shortages. Until people actually live in them.
In this conversation, a farm owner in Northern California shares what happened after relying on trailer housing for her team — leaks, pests, and wear that showed up faster than expected, especially in a coastal climate.
She reflects on:
-What daily use reveals about “temporary” housing
-Why material quality starts to matter once housing becomes long-term
-How comfort and durability affect people doing physically demanding work -What changed when she chose a tiny home instead.
