A Mobile Home for the Wired Professional

mikael writes "The BBC is reporting that an Internet entrepeneur has given up on the high cost of housing in the city but has decided to merge his office/home lifestyles in the form of a luxury custom-built mobile home. Utilizing satellite technology, VoIP and a home cinema for video conferencing, the owner and his girlfriend are able to communicate with clients from anywhere. At the same time, the machine allows the occupants to remain self-sufficient in water, food, electricity and amenities for a whole week, allowing them to commute to the nearest national during the weekends." The price seems high even for all the amenities; a well-equipped Airstream can be had for enough less to pay for quite a few electronic upgrades.

Internet entrepeneur? Video cameras? His girlfriend?
Sounds suspiciously like a mobile porn studio.

"walk out the door with one of them a few hours later (we hated that)."

I can imagine. The sight of a super-strong old guy with an RV on his back must be scary. When I'll buy a RV, I think I'll drive mine out the door.

That and maintaining the beast, where are you going to sleep when it's in the garage with a blown motor? Or worse, the bloody thing starts leaking around the seams? The service center most likely will not allow you to stay in the vehicle while it's in their garage overnight.

Fortunately, he's one of those computer geniuses. I'm sure he'll be able to think of something.
