I can smell the miso soup, mildew, and sandalwood incense all the way from here, but I don’t care — these are beautiful. And, because this is Wednesday, they are Not For Sale. At least not as far as I know.
Maybe they’re sitting in someone’s front yard, just waiting for the right person to come drive them away, off on an adventure. Maybe that person is you. Have a good trip!

Loveliest comment, by Anodean: Yeah, there they go – merrily shedding flowerpots and loose shingles into following traffic. Oops, there goes the old water butt. Way to stick it to the Man, wealthy antique hippies: window glass is just a conspiracy of the military industrial complex. Crash! Cage squares should be glad they can be one with nature now, eh? Show ‘em. Crank up the volume, Sunrise Aquarius, “Free Bird”‘s comin’ on.

I swear this is the Creepy Coupe from the Wacky Races cartoon, check out number 2 for those not familiar http://www.dan-dare.org/Dan%20FRD/WackyRacesCarsAndDrivers.htm
I would definitley buy this if Peter Perfect (or even, the Buzz Wagon- you take what you can get, if you know what I mean!!) were not far behind!!
Great, now I can’t stop singing “Stop that pigeon, stop that pigeon!”
It’s Howl’s Moving Trailer!
this one I swear was on the Travel Channel about home made RVs.
If I remember it correctly. this one has bare wiring. meaning you have to watch where you are, including your hands.

Hippies are smarter then you give them credit for. I’ve been inside several caravans like this and they are just as well made (in fact, usually better made) then any standard RV I’ve been in.
Now I’ve got RuPaul’s “Don’t be jealous of my booty” song stuck in my head, but it’s about tiny houses.
Awesome.
I am actually planning to build one of the Tumble Weed homes. No, I am not a nutter, I am just tired of taking care of a huge home!
i would so live in that thing, just put an auto transmission in it first.
The song that comes to my mind is Cher “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.”
Just take the back roads, so you don’t get weighed.

Mormons? Screw them, I’d love to see them try and knock on my door when that door is MOVING!
Much nicer than our old ’76 Prowler. Which I miss.
I’ve suddenly developed a craving for oatstraw tea and ginger pie.
And a full set of odorifics? A spring-loaded birdfeeder? A wooden abstract sculpture you can get your head stuck in?
# 2…if I had to pick one
These used to be pretty common in the Pacific Northwest; some of them looked like Scandinavian style log houses on wheels. The absence of restroom facilities could be pretty noticeable if you got downwind of the occupants on a warm and windy day.
I love it!
