That was a good post Wulf. I've often thought about different things for emergency living quarters, and every time I think i've come up with what I feel is a good solution, I think to myself "I can do that in my Jeep", now granted i've got a fairly large power inverter and some other goodies installed in it. As much as i'd love to have a fifth wheel, or even a smaller camper, I just can't justify the cost at this time. I'd really like to find an old carburated Suburban, and deck it out.

The shed is also a good solution, just not mobile obviously. Our mountain property has one of the LARGE tough sheds on it, and it is excellent for low cost low maintenance living. Has a nice stove inside, that keeps the place toasty, I plan to insulate it soon enough, as that will make night and day difference. While it may not be what some are looking for, http://www.expeditionportal.com/ is a very good resource for being self sufficient on wheels. Covers everything from rooftop tents to trailers.
