FEATURES

Here are the many features that will be demonstrated in this working prototype of a self-powered tiny house on wheels that is affordable, eco, mobile, modular, versatile, as well as off-road and off-the-grid, and essentially can almost behave as a self-contained living biome.

Double-size bed folds up into a generous day lounge sofa.

The removable trailer may be used as the deck, or to move other modules.
Air to water generator generates over 15 litres of water per day (upgradable to 30 litres)

May also be used as an internal clothes drier & dehumidifier, with anti-mould capability.

Full hi-speed internet WiFi using Starlink Internet offering up to 330/500 mbps pending coverage.
Energy efficient 1500w instantaneous electric hot water heating system.
Fully self-contained shower cubicle.
Washing Machine (full size, 8.5kg)
Standard Clothes Drier without compromise on power or price.

Increased outcomes in terms of affordable housing, environmental sustainability, scalable cohousing & communities, off-grid living, as well as reducing the impact on the planet by enabling more efficient infill housing and land sharing, enabling mobile and nomadic living.

This may ultimately restore a sense of personal interconnection, immediacy, intimacy, and community for people which may also lead to a more meaningful way of life.
