    About this ebook

    This short book is an introduction to the author Mobile Rik's super-simple approach to getting off the grid "in record time". 

    In his own case it took only a bit of research, a week of planning, and three construction days (spending only $250) to escape the shackles of the working world and be enjoying spectacular views from boondocking campsites around the Southwest USA.

    In this quick guide you'll be drawn into the mindset of a true "life hacker", seeing opportunities to do things differently and live "outside the box", making your own rules. 

    You'll learn the fastest way to get off the grid on your own terms, with a flexible plan to continue building and developing your own little "mobile homestead" AFTER you're already liberated from the hamster wheel.

    You'll discover a range of shortcuts that most "off gridders" have never even considered that will enable you get cut yourself loose both more quickly and for dirt cheap. 

    You'll learn about the author's biggest most pressing concerns before moving into his camper... which immediately turned out to be total non-issues once he started out on the road!

    You'll learn how to fine-tune your thinking to determine exactly what you really need to do NOW vs. what you can and should put off until you're actually on the road.

    You'll be introduced to numerous easy ways to cook for absolutely no cost, using simple devices you can easily put together from recycled materials and cook dinner conveniently, without messing with a campfire, using freely available fuel.

    Whether you’re reading this book as an RV’ing snowbird, outdoorsy camping enthusiast, off-grid gadget junkie, simple-life experimenter, shop class hero, pre-zombie-apocalyptic "prepper", Instructables.com life-hacker… or maybe even just someone who somehow wound up at my website and subscribed to my mailing list…

    This book is written primarily TO INSPIRE YOU.

    Although the author's own "weapon of choice" is his wicked-cheap homemade truck camper, the advice in this guide will serve you whether your tiny-house-on-wheels is a Converted Camper Van, Car and Tent, Hippie Mobile, SHTF Bug Out Vehicle, VW Bus, Big Rig RV, Teardrop Caravan Trailer ... or anything else. All that matters is that you have a HUGE desire to cut loose and get away from it all.

    This little guide is actually a condensed preview version of the forthcoming book "Off Grid On Wheels: The Fastest Way To Get Off The Grid For Dirt Cheap" -- and it's been made available so you can read right now before the full book is available at a convenient price.

    Author

    Mobile Rik

    Mobile Rik has been sustainably living off the grid in his own homemade truck camper he built on his Toyota Tacoma for under $250! Of course, since the original "stupidly simple" (under 500 lbs "light") cabover camper shell he built in just three construction days, there have been many upgrades — AGM Deep Cell Battery, Homemade Solar Panels, Ultra-Lightweight Roof, and his nifty A-Frame Popup with a 7'8" ceiling — But the essential "dirt cheap" DIY design is still holding up brilliantly. And of course the best part is that because he built everything himself, it's a perfect fit to his unique needs — to be self-sufficiently camping in nature, boondocking in free campsites, and immersing himself further in sustainable "off grid" life... cooking up vegan meals on his DIY tin can wood-gas stove, and baking amazing pizza and cookies in his cardboard box oven. He is the creator of several websites, including his main blog MobileRik.com, BuildATruckCamper.com, and OffTheGridFast.com, dedicated to Off Grid Hackery for Full Time Campers like himself.
