OT - Not a Lazy Daze, but WOW!

I could not believe this home-made Kiwi RV.  Please check out the video.

It appears that just about anything is possible with enough ingenuity.

I Thought It Was Just An Old Truck. When It Opens? I Could Stay Inside Forever

Maybe this will start the creative juices flowing.

Hope you all are doing well.

Wow!, that is the most interesting small house I have seen.
I wouldn't want to drive it, instead just park it somewhere beautiful, where the weather is nice.
With the very high center of gravity and so many moving parts, you wouldn't want to move it much nor would you want to live in a cold, wet climate.

Someone had an awful lot of time, money, engineering skills and a well equipped shop, there are thousands of hours of design and labor invested.
One thing that does bother me about the small house movement is that while they sort a look like an RV, they either have very small storage tanks for water and waste or none at all, instead, they need to be connect to utilities. for long term living. So much for parking it out in the boonies and moving in.

I thought it was a work of art in design, engineering and construction.  I am not as keen on the looks but that is small stuff.  I did see any mention of the overall weight and how close it is to the weight limit of the truck.
