[A/S] converting an Airstream into an office?
Everyone,
I've been thinking about buying an Airstream and converting it into an
office/hangout spot. Has anyone done something similar or have any
links? I've done a little googling and have found a few things, but
not much. What I'd really like to do is buy a plot of land with no
utilities and put my Airstream there. I'd like to be as self-sufficient
as possible. I've been looking into solar power and propane to run all
of my appliances and electronic/computer gear. Still haven't figured out
how much electricity I'm going to need yet.
I'm not sure about water and sewer. I've seen a few links talking
about toilets that use propane (http://www3.sympatico.ca/storburn) but I'm
not sure how well they work. Does anyone have any experience with
these? The other thing is water....If I was near a lake/pond would there
be any way to filter that water and use it as drinking/showering water?
Or maybe a big tub that collects rain water? I could probably bring my
own water if needed.
As far as Internet access goes, since this office would be
stationary, I've been looking at wireless Internet access or
satellite-based Internet access.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have. I'm really enjoying reading
the list.
