Default Trailerable housing


One of the things I think would make a great business would be temporarily
located homes that could be placed by helicopter and then moved.

For instance, consider a fiberglass or aluminum home that was entirely self
contained. Water would be stored in a tank, solar cells and lightweight
batteries would provide power, waste would be dehydrated to some extent, but
still stored in an attached tank. A company with helicopter would contract
with a vacationer to lift the home to remote areas, such as mountain tops,
lakes, forests etc. and then return to bring in the vacationers. They would
live in the house, and then they and the house would be picked up and
returned to civilization in a week or two. In the meantime, there would be
no "footprint" left where they were and the home could be restocked and sent
out on yet another vacation.
