Did you read Nomadland by Jessica Bruder, the book on which the 2020 Oscar winning film was based? The book is great and way more in depth. There's a whole section on Earthships and building homes from reclaimed materials & trash. Also ... we lived in an Airstream for three years while planning and building our home. It was a new 2016 Flying Cloud model. It was a great tiny home, and held almost all its value when we sold it, BUT, little things broke down all the time. It required a lot of fixer-upper know-how (thank god for online discussion boards & YouTubes devoted to Airstream repair). It surprised us that something so expensive was so finicky and prone to breakdowns.
i have dreamed of having an earthship since I was a teen. I think the lalour involved is what defeats would be builders. I have been thinking about a containearthship lately, no tire pounding just bermed sea cans.
I have dreamed of having an earthship since I saw a doc about Dennis Weaver's house in my teens. I think the failures are due to the monumental amount of labour involved. Lately I've been thinking about a containearthship to avoid pounding tires for months on end
