Silver twinkie, eat your heart out...

I have been a fan of the Airstream since I was a kid. There's something about chrome-on-wheels that calls out to you as a boy. It runs deep, from the loins to the spine, obviously something set in our DNA. Like grunting. Kind of. OK. Not really. It's just a camper, but it IS a symbol of the great outdoors. You can't see one rolling down the road and without thinking firewood, bonfires, and bank liens.

But alas, my baby truck, a mere puppy to my father's Bull Mastiff of an F350, can't take the weight of the polished beast. Well, it couldn't take the weight of this either, but it would be an excuse to buy a new (eco-friendly, of course) truck.

It's a green, space-saving, fits-on-the-back-of-your-truck minihome!

The design team, Sustain Design Studio (site bogged down with Flash, so no sharing), describes the home as:

The world's first, completely self-sufficient, ecological trailer design, the miniHome features many of the 'mod-cons' that consumers have come to expect, without the associated energy, resource or material use. Within a well-organized 38 sm (350 sf), there is everything you need for comfortable, year-round, sustainable living.

To cool for home school.
