Yeah.... OK. This has already been done. It's called a camper trailer.

They are the same person

And yet people still deny the existence of hipsters.

Most travel trailers won't rattle apart and blow away at 60 mph.

Or burn to a cinder in 10 seconds or less.

The only way that thing is going to hit 60 is downhill in a hurricane. Especially being towed by a Prius.

Every tornado ever begs to differ. I'd take this over a standard mobile home.

It would be like riding in an out-of-control space shuttle.

That prius will get about 6 mpg.

I'm in no position to throw shade at people building their own house.

So, an RV without all the roadworthiness. Wait til the safety regulations hit and turn them into libertarians.

coco ebert: I'm in no position to throw shade at people building their own house.

Agreed. People who bust their asses on building their dream house---not just designing it but touching every nail that goes into it--are entitled to feel a sense of real accomplishment and if that includes some smug that's fine.. They didn't just buy a Prius----they did the gruntwork, research and elbow grease with reclaimed materials and such. That's the kind of thing that deserves praise, not scorn. Its major life accomplishment.

Holy shiat, they are. This is not a face swap. The only thing I added was facial hair.

Incest is a crime in some states. Someone inform the hipsters.

ThatGuyFromTheInternet: And yet people still deny the existence of hipsters.

People deny it? I think the word is often used wrongly (but not in this case), but that's somewhat understandable as hipsterism has its own local variations that might lead to confusion as well as many of the fashions they adopt change from season to season.

For instance, while in New York I encountered large quantities of "Homeless guy" hipster, the ones that go out of their way to try and look like a guy who's been living on the streets for the last 20 years, complete with unkempt beard, despite being 22 and living on a trust fund. I've never encountered this type in Los Angeles' more hipster areas.

The worst hipster infestation I've come across is Portland Oregon. Only major city I've been to where hipsters appear to make up the majority of the population.

Awesome reference, would lol again.

DeathByGeekSquad: But did they pay off the permit guy at City Hall?

That is kind of the point of this type of tiny home in the "tiny house movement." They are built on trailers so that they can be transported, and are not thus permanent structures. Most such exist as exceptions to local land use, or zoning ordinances, and because they are not permanently attached to the ground don't usually have to adhere to building codes. Now, they can be licensed and even insured as travel trailers, but since they don't look like it, many "live" in stealth in the backyard of family or friends. Some are placed more permanently on owned or leased land. Some are truly what you might call "parasite" homes inasmuch as they'll depend on access to a host home's utitlies -- electric, water, and sewage. Some are more independent with solar, generators, water catchment, water storage, grey and black water tanks that can be removed easily, or pumped out at RV or Truckstop facilities. Some use composting toilets, or incinolets. Some have no toileting or bathing facilities, and are effectively outside bedrooms with minimal cooking arrangements. I am interested in these, not because I want one on a trailer, but because I like the conservation of space, economy of materials, and I want to build one or two small, completely livable and as off-grid houses in two parts of the country, and I need to be able to build both, pay for both, as I think I won't qualify for three mortgages. I'll agree that some of what these two have done, and now redone seems impractical, but fark it? It is their life, and they'll live it with far more free time, and fewer financial obligations than most of us.

sonorangal: Ah...DINKy Hipsters got to luv em. I'll bet a small house and a monthly payment on a storage unit for the stuff that doesn't fit.


Seriously, a Hobbit house would be more spacious.

Speaking of which. Way more awesome. (new window)

So, do they take their clothes to a tiny laundromat?

Emposter: If there is anything that the US has plenty of, it's space. This is the ultimate in completely, utterly pointless, feel-good hippy crap.

I agree. The US is all about reckless consumerism of the unnecessarily big. This flies in the face that. It's straight up unamerican.

Those two people are extremely in love with themselves and what do you know...
