Lloyd Kahn featured this simple and beautiful mobile art studio on The Shelter Blog recently.

A Quirky Little House On Wheels From The 1920's...

Paletool featured this quirky little house on wheels the other day, it had been sourced from Vintage Everyday, another very interesting blog for those who like to reminisce.
I've no idea what make or model of vehicle sits below the clever and innovative little house but it's evidently from 1926.
I don't remember it but it was probably
another good year...

This Beautifully Renovated 1954 Airstream Is A Very Stylish Little Home On Wheels...

Wally Byam who in 1936 introduced the Airstream Clipper to the world and and changed the way North Americans in particular indulged in their leisure pursuits would be delighted

Inspired By NASA's Space Program. Garrett Finney's FireFly. An Ultra Compact Alloy Camping Trailer That Looks More Like A Luna Module...

Keen eco-camper and lateral thinker Garrett Finney worked for NASA designing living quarters for the International Space Station and he had a dream of a tiny camper that could fit on the back of any conventional pick-up truck.
That could be used as a disaster relief living pod and be towed by any small car.
And so the minimalist and miniscule recreation camper called FireFly weighing a mere six hundred pounds was conceived, went through a fairly fast incubation period and then forming a company called Taxa and bringing the talents of Brian Black and Evan Twyford on board brought the idea from concept stage to a reality.
There's more about Garret's FireFly here.
It's not a giant leap for man but it is a step in the right direction...

Klaus And Susan's Go Anywhere Tiny House On Wheels Is Taking Them Around The World...

I met up with Susan and Klaus recently at Haumoana, freedom camping in the Hawkes Bay. They're a month into their first year and a half voyage around the world in their specially built Uni-Mog.
Klaus is a locksmith by trade but he's much more than that. He's built their tiny home on wheels which is a masterpiece of engineering and creative innovation.
Hydraulic rams lift the roof allowing ample access to the massive bed with its base surrounded by flush storage compartments. There's storage everywhere here and some very clever ideas have been thought of to use every available inch of space. Susan, a doctors assistant in real life and Klaus have worked very well together to come up with a very unique home on wheels.
The 1984 Mercedes once destined for active duty in Kosovo but ending up never seeing a war zone has only done about 15,000 kilometres.
It carries 300 litres of fresh water, 300 litres of diesel, its black tank holds 180 litres. Having run out of time at home in Germany, they're adding the solar components here in New Zealand which will augment the large capacity alternator and the 3 kva generator.
There's two 180 amphour AGM batteries.
A massive rear storage locker contains all their toys, outdoor furniture and portable bbq.
Keep a look out for these two intrepid travellers.
They're lovely people...
