I guess people are […]
Worlds smallest solar movie theater in a trailer
I’m often surprised how much one can fit inside a trailer. Check out this deceptively accommodating movie theater crammed into a recycled 1960’s era travel trailer. It’s solar powered and comes complete with ticket booth, concession stand, and seating for eight adults.
