Could you share where you found it? I'd love to find out more about it, with the idea of building one. I love the design in the second picture (stovepic4567). Could you share where you found it?

A few questions, what were the dimensions of that house? What kind of heat shielding were you using around the stove and how did that work out for you? I've been told to keep the stove 12 inches from even the wall with heat shielding....in such a small space this poses some problems, like possibly running into the stove because it juts out into the walkway too far! Also how easy was it to heat the space, did you have insulation? Would like to hear some experiences from people using wood stoves as this seems less common in houses on wheels. As i grew up with a wood stove i have little desire to switch over to propane! Love the pictures of the old truck home! A few questions, what were the dimensions of that house?

I dont think we will ever stop as its a lovely way to live and cheap too. It is getting far too expensive to buy property here in NZ unless you take out a large mortgage. My partner Hannah and I are building our third housetruck now and will one day buy a plot of land to park it on. Anyway- here is a link to our housetruck build- we have just finished putting the ceiling up... http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=21684 BTW- we both think small housing is the way to go- not because we are hippys or anything like that- it just makes plain sense to us! alex Housetrucking is still alive and well in NZ!

It's the original, the prototype. It's being advertised in the below-fold ad space on materialicious.com (shares space with one other company, so reload page if you don't see the ad right away).
