This is more than mildly interesting. I’d say it’s somewhat interesting. Dare I say it’s intriguing?

I hope that's some kind of hardpan sand, not the soft stuff at the beaches I go to. Or that those vehicles are all amphibious. That picture makes me feel very anxious.

It is likely on Rømø, they have big beaches where you can officially drive on. Which is not that common here in northern Europe.

Just looking at how little the semi sunk into the sand, I would guess it is pretty hard. As long as they don't get too crazy I dont think driving back out would be an issue at all.

You can see an itty bitty crane lol

But really they should have made a small "garage" and a ramp instead.

Looks like they have a crane up there, but if it breaks you have to find an appropriate height overpass.

I drove on a beach once. It was fine. Easy going. Beautiful. Exhilarating. Until, abruptly, the tires sunk in and it wasn't. Once they sink in, even just a little bit, it is extremely difficult to get out. It was one of the stupider things I have ever done. I've never done it again.

2-3km wide to put a number on it.

No way!!! I saw that same truck a few days ago in Germany. It must be the exact same, because it's pretty recognizable and unique.

Thinking about it, technically that doesn't even need to be that complex with hydraulics, just a sturdy arm and a winch. But it's still kind of wasted, extra weight for no reason compared to putting the bed or storage above a garage.

Anyway really awesome tiny house.

Oh I know how difficult sand can be. Especially for people unfamiliar with it. Any sudden acceleration, braking, or turning and you can bury your vehicle. Takes a lot of finesse. That sand looks fairly consistent though, and based on other comments is frequently driven on. So as long as the water doesn't come up that far it should be well packed and easy to drive on.

Thanks. What is that old saying? Art is knowing when to stop and how to frame it.

I just made that up basing it kind of on a quote from 6 degrees of separation

I wonder about the weight and how it was built. I'm guessing it doesn't weigh much if they can get away with a single axle trailer.

Though it makes a neat little deck once the car is relocated. It'd be fantastic in the forest at night.

There are beaches on the Danish west coast where the sand is plenty compacted, completely fine for driving. At least for passenger cars.

I would be hesitant with a truck, but seems to be going well.

I'd guess that the total gcwr is 40-50k lbs.

Yeah but the whole roof is premium space. I'd put solar panels over the whole surface. But you could also make a big deck to walk on with maybe a deployable balustrade. Or maybe even some kind of very low roof greenhouse lol. Lots of creative ideas for tiny houses.

Looks like a davit designed for loading a small boat onto a larger boat.

Here, we apparently see the land lubber's version of the same.

I will be impressed if I learn this was made by the owner and not commissioned. I'll be further impressed if he/she holds a humble job and this is their passion.

Yes. This could be the beach of Rømø
There was an oldtimer convention this weekend I think
Even military planes are landing and starting there

Yes, but they're probably Danish, and this is one of our tells. We use -t instead of -d for past tense.

Honestly it took me a while to convince myself this wasn't a painting. At one stage I wondered if it was a Wes Anderson set.
