It's perfect. Sigh.

Why oh why can't they return joy to the people HERE! This is my idea of the perfect dwelling / vehicle for one.

It's a shame the Keebler Elves have been evicted from their tree and have to work an awful circus sideshow.

Nice concept, I could see that working well for some folks.

Living in various place around the world on the job, I'd often lament that many small trucks and vans I'd see made by the major producers never get imported to the US.

Toyota and Datsun (back in the day) had some very interesting vehicles only available on the foreign market.

You could always build your own. Looks like you could get a vehicle that looks similar to the little truck (like a tracker or Jeep.. not good on names of vehicles) then make your own lightweight trailer using a cargo trailer frame or the frame from a trashed travel trailer (keep the same title). I would omit the window in the loft bed. Those just leak and make the bed hot.

Kinda easy too. Not cheap but you could do it as you got the money (called "out of pocket") and you could do it cheaper than buying new probably for $10K-$15K if done up real nice and you use all new stuff. Framing could be just 2X2s. Lay it out on a concrete floor. Then build it on the floor so both sides are the same. That's how the older RVs were built. But instread for stapling the frames together I would suggest glueing then screwing the framing members together. Drilling pilot holes would work nicely. Make the roof slightly bowed (about a 2-4" raise in the middle arc) to shed water and prevent ponding (resulting in leaks and rot). My husband used to work in a shop that built park models. What I am describing is roughly how the shop built the park models, except they used beefier frames and the park models were quite a bit longer.
