We have similar movements is clearly not take root, although enthusiasts are, but their unity.
RV, Recreation Vehicle, or mobile homes as well as old and as old car. History of the first houses on wheels more than 100 years. According to the DOT today on US roads is 8.2 million. Mobile homes of all types, each year, on average, a mobile home runs the way to 7500 km, while on a trip of 28 days.
Today I'll talk about mobile homes, their history, and show you their internal structure.
Will be 39 photos. Author: mechanismone / Engineering blog.
1. All the houses are divided into four major groups - self-propelled, towed fifth, bumper, trailer, and stationary (eg installed on top of the pick-up). In turn, each of the classes includes many sub-classes, weight, materials and finishes, the number of axes, length, etc ...
2. It looks like a trailer truck. Almost all of them are moved through a variety of pickups. F150 - the leader among the pickups, so it is most often enters the frame. Large-sized trailers are no longer under the power 1500 Series pickups, therefore carries the "heavy artillery" in the form of series 2500 and 3500.
3. Incidentally, the saddle coupling has two types, the hinge (with the help of a trailer hitch here is a clinging to the hinge installed in the back of a pickup) and truck (mini version of a conventional saddle trailer hitch, which requires an extra saddle hitch in the back of a pickup truck).
4. Self-propelled homes more expensive in price, but it is better suited to long trips for a few months.
5. Actually, back to the story. The first motorhome was made in 1910 by Touring Landau.
6. This trailer was a little hut on the same axis, which could attach to the machine. In the booth, in a carriage, were two benches, the back bench was reclining flick of the wrist and turned in bed, under the front bench was a toilet and wash basin. No frills, but a motorhome.
7. After a few years, several companies, seeing demand for these products, began to manufacture and offer customers their homes on wheels.
Pay attention to the gas fireplace.
8. Gradually cars are becoming more and more reliable and sophisticated, but also the design of houses did not lag behind the design of the cars. RV manufacturers have tried to take into account all the latest fashion trends and desires of our customers today their design is not in place and keeps up with the times.
9. By the way, the very first club of fans to travel in caravans, appeared in 1919 and by 1930 there were already more than 150 000 people.
10. So, look, we are in a typical spacecraft propelled camper made based on the Ford E-250.
11. In today's mobile homes have everything: kitchen, shower, toilet, bathroom, washing machine, dryer, sofa, chairs, dining table, bedroom, TV, microwave, internet, and ... and the list could go on and on. On the outside there is a canopy.
12. View the back of the house-bus: toilet, wash basin on the right, on the left side of the door - shower.
13. The number of thoughtful little things do not cease to surprise and delight. For example, the shell (by the way, two of them, as in all the kitchens in the US) are closed on top, making a rack in a large desk convenient for cooking. Stove is also capped. All cookers, hobs 3-4, oven and without, in fact, anything from home plate, they do not differ. This house is worth $ 67 950. It is not expensive, for example, BMW M3 in luxury equipment costs the same.
14. Now we go to a posh house, which is a full-size bus. This RV would cost you $ 167,495 he made in 2011, so is sold at a discount, original price was $ 182 995.
15. compile this bus on the basis of Ford, its length 12 meters, weight - 16 tons. It installed a diesel engine Ford Triton V10, 362 hp power, which has a generator to power all communications inside, additionally installed small gasoline generator, designed for sites with no external power connection. This keeps the main diesel generator from unnecessary wear and tear, and with it quieter inside.
16. The view from the driver's seat. On the left is a full kitchen, which includes: microwave dish with a diameter of 80 cm (1000 W), full gas cooker 3 burners no oven though, double sink with mixer under one of the shells. On the right is a table for dinner, to the left is seen a piece of the sofa, which was not included in the frame. And, of course, the TV, where without it?
17. Kitchen more close-up. Here I removed the lid from the stove and sink. There are a bunch of lockers for utensils and products, all of them closed by a tight spring, so that in the course of cabinet doors will not open spontaneously.
18. Slowly move on. Beyond the kitchen and with dining room contingent is passing into the bedroom, where the left is hidden from the gluttons DOUBLE refrigerator. He knows how to make the ice and has a water filter.
19. For the refrigerator is the toilet, and after him - the washing machine and dryer.
20. Instead of all this there are a shower and a washbasin. Well, for me - a bedroom.
21. In fact, here it is. For the left mirror - dressing room. And around - the realm of any lockers for socks and more.
22. Place the pilot RV. Besides the basic frills, there is satellite, Internet, cable TV (which can be connected to the parking lot), and all sorts of "pribabahov", which are the envy of even the Maybach.
23. Most of the windows and doors have mosquito nets.
24. A look inside another "bus". This RV is worth $ 134 495. Also assembled on the basis of Ford, and in principle, in all similar to the previous model.
25. Kitchen. On the right is seen controller air conditioning, no kondishki we did.
26. The view from the bedroom to the shower stall and the sink.
27. It should be noted that this width of the cabin inside is achieved through the "exit" of some parts of the house with the dimensions of the parking lot. Some sites are fully installed on runners, for example, the entire kitchen, which simply pulls aside. The runners inside the cabin can be seen in photos 16 and 17, the entire side kitchen goes sideways, increasing the space in the room.
28. Of course, the meticulous reader will object that it is necessary to be a millionaire to purchase a home for 150 or 200 thousand. I agree, but what then go ordinary Americans? We will visit several budgetary trailers.
29. Here, for example, a trailer-type bumper, two-axle, 10 meter. Although the year 2006 - a brand new house.
30. View from the door in the tail section. In principle, all the same, a little simpler decoration materials, is no longer chic leather on seats and floor tiles. But still there is a table for dinner, bed and TV. Baby bed in the rear compartment are formed, and in their place, it turns out the garage and the back wall is not a wall, a ramp to check equipment. Such a mobile garage is for 2 ATV.
31. This view of the side of the trailer tow bar. Traditional gas stove, sink, it's still double. Two black pens immediately behind the stove - a refrigerator. Next door is great for him - her washing machine and dryer, and a toilet with shower - through the wall of the kitchen sink. Well, in the end - a double bed, just to the left in front of her - a washbasin. All the beauty will cost you only $ 14, 495.
32. Let's see another option. The same two-axle trailer, 2008, 8.5 meters, it costs $ 17 995.
33. Inside, everything is similar, but here the garage for 4 ATV. It should also be noted that every house has an independent water supply, fuel and gas, calculated on the average for the period from 7 to 40 days. Stocks livelihoods depend on the size of the house.
34. You can buy a trailer, "skin", it does not particularly affect the cost of RV - $ 16 495.
35.Vid outside. 2008 8.2 meters.
36. And this bus costs $ 370 000. It is so steep that even a rearview camera, and inside allowed only by appointment. Well, no kidding, it looks the same as other buses, but larger and more expensive materials and finishes. The cost of some of these houses goes up to $ 1 million.
37. Do not forget that the comfort of travel in the United States provide thousands of special sites (RV parks) for mobile homes, where you can connect to an external source of electric power, sewage, and here you fill with gas, water and fuel.
38. In addition to the usual road home, there are more advanced, with 4x4, 6x6 and even, but there they are very rare and represent less than 1% of all homes. This is due to the fact that the majority of fans in the mud izvalyalsya prefer towed behind a Jeep or more quadrics in the back, and the house is left in the parking lot well prepared, because after a day in the mud still want to return to a comfortable home.
39. End, good luck on the road!
