Kodusõidukite

Kodusõidukite, a Finnish term, translates to "home vehicles" and refers to a concept of personalized, mobile living spaces. These are not traditional recreational vehicles like campervans or motorhomes, but rather custom-built or heavily modified vehicles designed to function as a primary residence. The focus is on integrating living amenities such as sleeping areas, cooking facilities, and sanitation within a vehicle that can be easily relocated.

The construction of kodusõidukite often involves repurposing existing vehicles, such as buses or vans, or constructing entirely new chassis. The interiors are tailored to the owner's specific needs and preferences, emphasizing efficiency and multifunctionality. This can range from minimalist designs with essential features to more elaborate setups with advanced technological integration.

While the concept shares similarities with tiny houses on wheels, kodusõidukite are distinguished by their stronger emphasis on the mobility of the dwelling itself as a continuous form of residence, rather than a temporary dwelling for travel. Owners may choose this lifestyle for reasons of financial flexibility, a desire for a nomadic existence, or to minimize their environmental footprint. The legal and practical considerations for operating a kodusõiduk as a permanent residence can vary significantly by region, impacting issues like parking, utilities, and registration.
