If the idea of spending days on the road in a tent or trailer doesn’t sound appealing, consider Stéphanie Bellanger‘s Mobile Mini House. The spacious yet compact concept home is inspired by John Lautner’s Chemosphere house and has an ingenious expanding floor plan that features a bathroom, living room, bedroom, kitchen, and office. Bellanger’s design also has ample storage space for clothing, books, and more.
The Mobile Mini House’s walls and floors run on rails which allow them to easily fan out to a comfortable 252° radius. In case of rain, the home also features a sliding screen. We love the colorful rooms and spaciousness of the design, but wonder about its durability during long trips. Also, it’s doubtful that most campgrounds have plots large enough to accommodate the house. Regardless, the Mobile Mini could one day be an enticing option for travelers who want to rough it while still retaining modern amenities.

What a rare and beautiful thing when you find EXACTLY what you dreamed you were looking for…sah-wee-e-et.
I love the Aurorita folding bike in the first photo. A classic in Argentina.

Another beautiful concept for living on the go. This one can apparently be towed by a Min!
However, as was noted in the writeup, virtually no campground or National Park will accommodate a habitat anywhere near this width. And even if there were a spot big enough, it would have to be almost perfectly level. Although my Mini-Winnie motor home has only 4 points of contact with the ground, it\\\’s a major hassle to get it level. With what appears to be perhaps a dozen support legs, each with 2 points of contact, you\\\’d need to raise many points by different amounts, walking around with a level in hand and inserting blocks under all but the highest point(s).
It could be automated–I could have such a system installed on my Winnie for about $4,000. What would it cost for this lovely place?
Continue development–it\\\’s beautiful!
great!!!
