When You're Serious About Solar For Your Off Grid Home On Wheels...

The Colorado based owner of this once upon a time 1990 Chevrolet school bus was determined to create a vehicle to live in for extended periods of time off grid. It looks like he succeeded.
The fourteen German Sun brand 130 watt panels that are tilted manually, feed eighteen 105amphour Trojan batteries. All that combines with an Outback brand control system.
There's more about this bus here.
With solar, there's no such thing as overkill...

Renaissance artist and craftsman Michael Ostaski built this incredible Land Yacht or if you like, Housetruck, back in the 1960's.

Travelling In Style To Enjoy The Simple Life Way Back Then...

They dreamed a life and lived the dream of a simple life way back then too.
Their homes on wheels came in all shapes and sizes and in many different styles. Styles to suit.

To enjoy life in the great outdoors.
Even if they stayed indoors...

Freedom Camping In New Zealand...

The owner of this house, like so many who live in the suburbs, fed up with his home being stuck on a plot of land with neighbours on all sides, decided to get away from it all.
And take his house with him.
So he bought a very large removal truck and remembering the old saying, never leave home before you've seen the country, went off to do just that.
He knows a thing or two about location location location...

These Wonderful Old Housetrucks Can Only Dream About The Road Less Travelled...

It's been a while since these old
New Zealand housetrucks travelled on any road and even longer since they took to the road less travelled.
They've all seen better days but it's doubtful if we'll see better ones than they did.
We can all look at these homes on wheels and dream of what might have been.
And wished we'd been there...

Once Upon A Time This Housebus Was Double The Fun...

Once upon a time a few years ago,

Another grand old lady and a relic of this country's rich housebusing heritage.
At the end of her road...
