In between the menopausal robot and the almost-talking dog, The Jetsons painted a somewhat bleak vision of our future. Their saucer-like housing was placed atop giant hydraulics. Why? To lift a suburban family out of the ever-rising smog! That said, there was, and still is, an appeal to those floating condos, a certain aspirational quality that one’s humble dwelling could be a self-contained high rise.

Just in case your trailer park has failed to attract any tornadoes, this might help catch their attention....

Why would anyone want this?
And what’s with euro’s and calling RVs caravans?
On that note, the Top Gear UK episode on caravans was great.

I once saw a statie assisting a vehicle in distress. A pickup with the sides of the bed bent, along with one of those camping shells nearby, upside-down.
It was really windy that day, particularly along that stretch of the interstate.
Better that level of damage, rather than whole vehicle being blown over, I guess.
