Actually yes.Complete and driveable. Might not pass any safety
inspectiom, but as I said - adequate for emergency use. Even if you
scrap it after 3 months it's cheaper than a motel.
Also some old Class A units - with big gas guzzling V8 engines and
even a few old bus conversions.
Something I'd travel accross the continent with? Definitely not - but
something to keep you warm and dry, and secure - most definitely. With
working appliances even, so you can cook meals and keep the beer cold.

One thing I've wondered about... Couldn't a reasonable place to stay for
a family be built in a 20' container? They're stackable, so you could
load a stack train up and unload in an empty parking lot. Instant
temporary apartment complex, good for a month or so for things to get
going again.

They're supposed to be small and cramped, you don't want people thinking
they're going to live there for any length of time. Shoot, weld down the
beds and everything but the chairs for "transportation reasons" but also
to keep people from moving stuff out to move stuff in.

If we're being creative how about something like a section of a
Japanese "capsule" hotel built into a container. Not sure how many
people you could fit into ond that way but it's dense and cheap and
more private than a barracks.
