$150 bike camper: DIY micro mobile home (downloadable plans)
Fahrräder, Tests, online, Rezensionen, Bewertungen
Paul Elkins fell for micro-camping in 2002 when he toured the country in his cabover “stealth camper”. Sure he could make something more affordable, this year he began building a nomadic micro-shelter based on the Airstream design. [Downloadable plans: http://www.elkinsdiy.com/plans/ ] Using 4 recycled fluted-plastic campaign signs from a recent election, a $20 secondhand bike, 6 pine boards ($1 at Home Depot), screws, Duct tape and zip ties, he built his latest micro mobile shelter for only $150. Calling it a “micro Airstream bike camper”, it’s a 60-pound “home away from home”, complete with butane stove, bread-pan sink, counter, food storage shelving, clothes-storage bins, LED lighting, bed, windows, pee jug, bubble insulation, stereo with MP3 player, and a skylight made out of a 1 gallon plastic tub.

Smart guy, nice design, but let's not forget carbon monoxide poisoning. That is why you never use a camping stove inside a tent or any structure. It is human nature to throw water on a grease fire, causing a fireball. I would hate to see someone trapped by fire.
Always provide a second exit.
If made a little safer, I would love to see the homeless provided with these! -
Wow what a insightful video and great designs
-
Would you sell it I'll give you 300?

I got a few questions and I hope I don't sound too stupid, is it easy to pedal with the trailer attached? And do you think that larger wheels for the back would be better than smaller wheels? And would it be possible to fit a surfboard on/in a bike trailer like this?

bruh

Like how you do it . But you ain't going nowhere with that bicycle
-
Going uphill would be hell.

Quite cool! Makes me think of the Bowlus! What's the tongue-weight?
-
These would be fantastic to give to the homeless
-
...but is it bear proof?
-
Thank you for the great idea and entertaining video.
-
do you think I could pull this behind a moped
-
Can't build the base for 150. I got the plans and the hole thing was horribly flimsy. Don't waste your time on this. I am homeless and this was a waste of time and the last few dollars I had.

This is definately a Regression.
Not a Progression. -
Ingenious

Unfortunately, you can't wash your clothes

I'm curious how this holds up in less fair weather; especially since the windows open inward.
I love the idea, it's definitely inspired some ideas.
