This guy built his own RV. Check it out.
It's a long article, so you probably should go to the link. But imagine an RV designed and built by a guy with lots of money and a desire to go anywhere, and who owns a company referred to as a "military-industrial toy shop".
The article meanders about without talking about the RV for quite a while, and it's not detailed enough at all, but it's still worth checking out. I like the fact that it can dispatch drones, for example. http://www.wired.com/2014/04/worlds-...lide-id-635172 ![]() |

I like the fact it has drones you can send out ahead of the truck to scout for trouble.

And I gotta say, it seems like the old guy would be a hoot to hang around with...
![]() "During his tenure at the company, Ferren created the Disney Fellows program, which brought in technologists, engineers, and even astronauts to work as in-house advisers. One of his first hires was Danny Hillis, a pioneer in the field of parallel supercomputing; the two hit it off, and in 2000 they left Disney to start Applied Minds. The company quickly acquired a reputation as a sort of military-industrial toy shop. Visit its five-building Glendale, California, compound and it’s easy to see why. To enter you must step into a cherry-red English phone booth and pick up the receiver; suddenly a door opens and you’re inside an office that leads to a flotilla of workstations and machine shops. In one room, there’s a full-scale military command center mock-up, in another an immersive, real-time digital-imagery dome that uses 50 projectors to create a crisp, zoomable image of anything from satellite images to 3-D renderings. It’s the kind of place where you trip over a robot on the way to the bathroom." |

I bet that's more comfortable, but cost more, than the mobile home these kids built for 10 grand.

I absolutely love this "mini-home" fad that's happening these days, that's a great looking unit and theres tons more out there... get one of those with a solar setup, dig a well and watch your cost of living plummet to almost nothing.
As for the RV, its pretty freakin cool... whats even cooler though is wired.com, they always have interesting finds. |

Pretty cool except for the obsessive compulsive behavior of the builder for a little girl. Kind of freaky strange if you ask me.
