re: Self-powered house/pod lets you live almost anywhere

How does it stay cool?

Woops. Forgot about that.

LA Edition will be out a year or two after with a window unit and a Honda generator.

We'll need AC down here. That's for sure.

yeah, the top travel trailer companies like Airstream and Escape have spent a lot of time on livability. this seems green-gimmicky to me. The very fact that you can't just tow the thing seems absurd. are there really no wheels? so you plop it down and you're stuck with where it is? that's fine for a house, even a small one. But my friend down the street in Missoula is building a tiny house on a trailer. Even it has wheels.

and i question how well this will work. i do a lot of boondocking, and it's a lot about the operator. I wonder how many tried and true boondockers will buy these things.

you could set up the power/water plant side (and, again, add hydroponics--aquaponics, whatever--fish and edible plant products living symbiotically) on or nearby a nice airstream and be better off.

Do you get free shares of Solyndra with each purchase?

if you (not you but you people) can't afford an Airstream (and/or don't have tie to remodel one), then find a used Escape. You can tow them behind all sorts of good MPG vehicle and mod for the energy/water stuff.

A fancy RV without wheels. I'd much rather have a truck bed camper. That truly lets you live almost anywhere.

Yeah, no AC makes this thing nothing but a fricking attic. And where's the media room?
