Tiny bicycle-towed house is self-sufficient
Ok so when I looked at the article in the Dvice website it had a link for Ecofriend so I clicked that then scrolled to the next link for TinyHouseDesign. I scrolled down that article about the same trailer until I found that this person created a PVC teardrop bicycle trailer design.
Isn't that just the most awesome thing you ever seen? And someone is building it right now. Roy the PVC guy is building it in his garage. He just has all the PVC put together but scroll down to the comments section on that page to see my comments. I offered a couple suggestions that I think will make it more interesting.I've been thinking about this WAY too much. If I didn't read the Dvice.com website I would've never found this. I don't know if that's good or bad because now I'm obsessed. I don't know if it's a good obsession though lol.
I can see some practical applications with this. If you are traveling the country like Crazy James from Big Brother 9 then this can come in handy because you can just pull over wherever you are and go to bed. You don't have to set up a tent or get a motel room, just pull over, climb in and go to sleep.
The guy who went to Burning man, his trailer had solar panels so during the day it collects electricity I'm guessing into a battery and that powers the fan and it could charge your cell phone, mp3 player, keep your laptop powered up etc. He also had a built in urinal but you have to stand outside to use it. You pee into a funnel that goes into a 1 gallon water bottle. I can see a problem with that, indecency maybe? I mean especially if a cop was driving by and you were peeing into a trailer on the outside lol. All you would need is one of those urinal things that they give you in the hospital, you just sit inside the trailer, close the door, open your shorts and pee lol. But he doesn't have anything for #2 but I'm sure you could find a way.
Actually if you go to campmor.com they sell camp gear and they have a toilet that you can sit on but it's a foldable chair with a hole in it with a tent and you can poop into a plastic bag then tie the bag up when you are finished and throw it in the trash. You could also dig a hole, crap in the hole then bury it lol. Also they sell these shower enclosures so you can take a private shower with a 5 gallon water bottle that you fill with the lake water then let it sit in the sun all day so you can take a warm shower.
Well I don't have a real reason for having one of these trailers but it really does look neat. I think that it would be great for a homeless person to have one of these, that is if they can't get their hands on an EDAR. I can see building one of these just in case you know? Just in case I fall under hard times and all of a sudden I'm out on the street with nowhere to go. I'd at least have a little trailer to live in. I could take it over to the bike trail where there are all those trees at Manor St. I see a homeless guy sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag. I hope it never comes to that but you never know what might happen.
