dbo:abstract
  • Housetruckers are individuals, families and groups who convert old trucks and school buses into portable homes called housetrucks and live in them, preferring an unattached and transient lifestyle to more conventional housing. These vehicles began appearing around New Zealand during the mid-1970s and, even though there are fewer today, they continue to travel New Zealand roads. By the 21st century these hippie nomads were found traveling independently and in convoys from town to town making a living from small cottage industries such as arts and crafts, or following various fruit picking seasons as they occurred throughout the nation. Other part-time housetruckers use their handcrafted rigs only when taking an extended holiday. Some older vehicles which no longer operate are lifted on blocks and used as permanent caravans or extra rooms on properties and in caravan parks. (en)
  • Housetruckers são indivíduos, famílias e grupos que convertem caminhões e ônibus escolares antigos em casas móveis e vivem neles, preferindo um estilo de vida desapegado e transiente ao estilo mais convencional de habitação, fixado num só lugar. Estes veículos começaram a aparecer na Nova Zelândia em meados da década de 1970 e, mesmo que haja menos deles hoje, eles continuam a viajar pelas estradas da Nova Zelândia. Hoje em dia, esses nômades hippies são encontrados viajando de forma independente ou em comboios de cidade em cidade, vivendo de pequenas indústrias e atividades produtivas caseiras, tais como artesanato, ou na sequência das várias temporadas de colheita enquanto elas ocorrem em todo o país. Outros são "housetruckers" de tempo parcial, que usam suas habilidades artesanais somente quando estão na estrada. Alguns veículos mais antigos, que já não mais funcionam, são levantados em blocos e e passam a ser usados como moradias fixas permanentes ou cômodos extras em propriedades particulares em parques de caravanas.
