The Anti-FEMA Trailer

After Hurricane Katrina trashed her 18th century home on the Gulf Coast, restoration specialist Julie Martin decided she couldn't wait for FEMA housing.

So she contacted Jay Shafer, founder of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, and worked with him to create a Gulf Coast version of his compact dwellings.


Her company, Martin-House-To-Go, has three mobile homes in production and has just released a new model, called Fresh Start, at a price of $29,900. It has an 11ft -high ceiling, 11 windows, solid bamboo flooring, a full size bathtub, runs on electricity, and can convert to solar.
