It has a certain class about it but in a Jetsons type of way :)

I think there’s a market for anything these days as long as you put “green” or “eco” in the name

It looks like something the Flinstones would have had.

It’s pretty, but there’s an awful lot of wasted space going on there. And I don’t like the wheels.

Like the idea, but can you imagine following it on the highway? Not only would you be unable to pass, you’d be blinded by the giant disco ball. There’s a reason why Airstreams don’t have a mirror shine, and they can be bad enough in super-sunny areas.

Wow. Nothing says gypsy/rock and roll like a fat, silver jelly-bean on wheels! I think there are more space-efficient shapes out there than this , and I’d hate to think that one day I may be competing with this ridiculous thing on the highway. My road rage is bad enough already. The part that made me laugh the most was rainwater reservoir/ emergency space. I think the diagram with the body that seems to be floating says it all; friends don’t let friends sleep in stagnant acid rain/ mosquito water. How about just an Airstream with all the earth-friendly accessories?

18 feet wide? This is serious? who the heck is going to want to tow something that big??? For example… a standard Shipping container is 8 feet wide. So this is roughly the size of TWO tractor trailers, parked next to each other, 2 feet apart.

That\’s just dumb. FAIL.

But it\’s pretty, if that\’s what they were going for. But in general, a most ludicrous footprint if it\’s actually supposed to be towed behind a vehicle. What\’s going to happen when you get off the 6 lane highway?

Seriously. Use your brain, not just your mouse.
