This was a wonderful article! I loved each and every one of the tiny shelters for camping! I don’t know if I could pick one over the others, they were all great! If I ever get to Rotterdam, you know where I’m heading!
Well,THAT was fun! favorites? Well, all of them for ingenuity and creativity, but my personal fave is the Little Pea! I could drive that one away to a boat to America in a flash. The woodwork is darned incredible and I could look at and stroke its curviness it all day. My other favorite is the Val Ross….it looks like a cement mixer with projections for telescopes and view ports, and I love it. It would be a wonderful vacation to just go there fora week, and stay in as many of these crazy gorgeous creations as possible. Thanks for sharing them!!
So they found anything you could fit a bed into! Nice Job!
The E vans were so cool. I’d never heard of those as they are larger versions of my E trike van. Hate to see them as stationary houses since likely be cheap, easy to get it running again and with lithium battery, get 200 mile range and stop using FFs.
I’ve been driving this style 30 yrs and saw my first EVs, 4, a factory Henney KiloWatt and 3 conversions, all under 1500lb cars in 67 at a McDonald’s show and tell when I was 14. It taught me young EVs can work.
There has always been EVs especially in industrial, delivery, commuter, shopping areas where they are hard to beat. We’ve had whole communities for 7 decades now driving very light EV cars around here in Florida. Though any after 1980 were restricted to 35 mph or less roads. Vs one made before that were MCs or cars, trucks legally.
Big oil and auto have spent over $1B of propaganda trying to keep EVs off the market over 60 yrs with one lie after another. Vs I drive my EV trike pickup for $1/day and so simple I built it in 34 hrs, something neither want as kills their business which is finally happening.
