I can only assume the trailer would be separate as no picture shows it on one.

All n' all, pretty cool concept. I wonder if they have one dressed up in camo?

cool idea - a drop in for the small house | off grid community.  Nice travel trailer too.

American analog suggestions;
Airstream - trick one out.  a bit pricey for me though.
how about a CONEX?  more labor to finish but should work.
heck, how about a CHU - the ones in Afghanistan are much better than the ones in Iraq were.

I've been waiting for this concept to become real. A small, affordable trailer that is completely self sustaining. If only it didn't look so gay. Thank you for sharing.

Things to consider.  Won't take much to make self sustaining and most are not real  fruit  :dance: loop looking either.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

It's quite easy to live for months (or longer) in a camper or 4x4, the longest I've gone is 3 months but once you can do a few days it's all pretty much the same.





Of course such a small vehicle cannot really carry food for months and we had to buy a lot from towns, but if you can hunt you could do it.

OK this isn't a trailer, but it could be there's no real difference. Total cost, maybe $2-3000 (if that) plus vehicle, including 2 fridges, mains power and solar.
