If Id been able to buy a wonderful old good-feeling house, I might have never started building. But it was always cheaper to build than to buy, and by building myself, I could design what I wanted and use materials I wanted to live with.I set off to learn the art of building in 1960. I liked the whole process immensely. Hammering nails. Framing - delineating space. Nailing down the sub-floor, the roof decking. Its a thrill when you first step on the floor youve just created.Ideally Id have worked with a master carpenter long enough to learn the basics, but there was never time. I learned from friends and books and by blundering my way into a process that required a certain amount of competence. My perspective was that of a novice, a homeowner - rather than a pro. As I learned, I felt that I could tell others how to build, or at least get them started on the path to creating their own homes.Through the years Ive personally gone from post and beam to geodesic domes to stud frame construction. Its been a constant learning process, and this has led me into investigating many methods of construction - Im interested in them all. For five years, the late 60s to early 70s, I built geodesic domes. I got into being a publisher by producing Domebook One in 1970 and Domebook 2 in 1971. I then gave up on domes (as homes) and published our namesake Shelter in 1973. Weve published books on a variety of subjects over the years, and returned to our roots with Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter in 2004, Builders of the Pacific Coast and The Barefoot Architect in 2008, and Tiny Homes in 2012.Building is my favorite subject. Even in this day and age, building a house with your own hands can save you a ton of money (Ive never had a mortgage) and - if you follow it through - you can get what you want in a home." -Lloyd Kahn Table of Contents WHEELS 2Vans Vagabond Surfer Van 4 Lloyd Houses Van Revisited 6 Custom VW Vanagon 8 Amerikanomade 10 Nomad Oasis 12 E-Camper 14 Van Studio 16 La Cambane de Yogan et Menthé 18Pickup trucks with camper shells Mikeys Snowchaser 20 Quickupcamper™ 22 Casual Turtle Campers 24 Jays Lightweight Camper Shell 26 Old-Style Pickup Truck Camper 28 Pop-up Camper, for Two 30 A Day in the Life of Two Ski Bums 32 Ricks Rustic Camper 34 Wooden Camper Shell 36 The Roulotte 37Housetrucks Federal Housetruck 38 Robs French Army Housetruck 42 The Beermoth 44 Shachagra 46 Rustic Campers 48 Studio Trucks 50 The House-Box 52 Custom-Built House Truck 54 Traveller Dave 56Housebuses School Bus Medicine Show Gypsy Wagon 60 From House to School Bus Home 62 Jifs Bus 64 The Wayland Family Schoolbus 66 School Bus Erickson 68 The Schoolbus Experience 70 School Bus Dentist 72Trailers Homemade Vardo 74 The Don Vardo 76 Little Yellow Door 78 Renovated Trailer in California Desert 80 The Shepherds Hut 82 Gypsy Wagons by Joseph 84 Matts Solar-Powered Wagon 86 Kians Mobile Home 88 Willows Wagon 90 Roulotte in France 92 French Circus Caravan 94 The Fortune Cookie 96 My Teardrop Trailer 98 The ArcStream 100 Bear, the Tinker 102 Sisters on the Fly 106 El Cosmico Trailer Park 110 The Cub - A Micro Shelter on Wheels 112 Sumaya: A Little Piece of Sky 114 Phoenix Van 116 Cricket Trailer 117 The Campa All-Terrain Trailer 118 The Whinny-Bray-Go 120 The Reading Gypsy Wagon 122 Two-wheelers Mobile Workshop / Overnight Camper 122 The Veggie Wagon 124 Two-Wheeling It 126 Motorcycle/Camping Trip from Canada to South America and Back 128 The Tricycle House 130 Bike Trailer 132 Mark Hansen - Builder of Useful Things 134WATER Sailboats Tara Tari 142 Living Aboard a Sailboat: A Way of Life 146 Misty Across the Pacific 150 Tollys Sailboat 158 The Yonder 162 Native Girl 164 Sailing Solo on the High Seas 166 ToomanyPocketts S./V. 170 Chu Wey 172 Snookwis 174 Guided by the Stars, Powered by the Wind 176 Pacific Voyagers 178 The Proa Jzerro 182 Living Simply on a Sailboat 184 Slider, a Cruising Catamaran 186 Sailboat on the Road 188Houseboats Shantyboat 190 Leviathan 192 Houseboat in Southern England 194 Halong Bay, Viet Nam 196 Houseboat in British Columbia 198 Diannes Rose 200 The Moron Brothers of Kentucky & Their Shantyboat 202 The Huckleberry Houseboat 206Tugboats/Workboats La Fille - Tugboat Home 208 Review "Lloyd Kahns books on housing are ina class by themselves — hand-crafted, orginal, and useful. Tiny Homes on the Move is no exception It is a book for both doers and dreamers that says, in effect, you dont have to resign yourself to dreary wage-slave jobs and cookie-cutter houses if you are resourceful, self-reliant, and willing to take the road less traveled. This book chronicles dozens of folks around the world who have done just that, by renovating sailboats, barges school buses, campers, gypsy caravans, and the like. Many of the bravest souls shown are women, Im happy to say. And most of the stories are written by the owner-builders, giving the book a fresh, first-hand feeling. (Kahn is great at drawing out peoples stories.) The photography is as vivid and varied as the lives and locales it depicts. Whether or not this book gets you doing, it will certainly set you dreaming about what is possible in your own life."–Mike Litchfield, Home at Last"I read it cover to cover tonight. What a joy. Its the most aspirational book youve done, making me say, I really should do that. Reading it is a lot of fun. Dwelling + Travel. Whats not to covet? Great job on the book. Def a cool tool."–Kevin Kelly, author of Cool Tools"The result is an explosion of creativity, some amazing craftsmanship, and more treehugging hippies than I have seen in 40 years. Every page is a wonder, a jumble of thousands of photos and all the tech specs you want to know."–Lloyd Alter, Treehugger.com"Ive been up since 5AM today, pouring over it. the quality, the stories, the association with Nature, the fine craft whether done by hand or chosen from a source … all intelligent, fascinating, enthralling and provides not a manual but a path on how to live the life of happiness one always wants but finds oh so darned hard to achieve…"–Jack Fulton, photographer and Lloyds good friend"…I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday night savoring each and every page. And I have to say, I havent had as good a time staying in in ages. Believe you me, this is the most inspiring book Ive read all year and it is now required reading for the Los Angeles Van Association. (L.A.V.A. is just a name we bestowed upon our group of van-owning surfers.)–Jordan"Take an inspiring tour of the world with modern travelers who live in vans, buses, trailers, and boats that combine the comforts of home with the conveniences of being able to pick up and go."–San Francisco Chronicle"…a rich adventure account which will appeal to homeowners and travel fans alike, charting the moving explorations of all kinds of buildings."–Diane C.
