Probably anyone who has a bookshelf with a collection of vintage camper books (like I use to have before I sold them). I saw your link and my first thought was "Oh, that would of really looked cute on the bookshelf with my books on campers" and then I remembered I sold my books because I didn't want to be constantly reminded that I couldn't afford to buy a real vintage camper yet.

I'd have to downsize my stuff a little more, but I think I could do it!

Ultra, I was looking at Craigslist yesterday for campers as we are thinking of getting one, and I found two really nice park model singlewides in upper Michigan that would be absolutely doable as homes. One was 3000 and one was 4000. So if I were you, I might look for land with utilities and a similar cheap singlewide where you live, and voila, you have tiny cheap housing!

This is a good idea! The traditional trailer/mobile home vs. custom tiny house is often debated. People think traditional trailers and old school mobile homes are "trashy" but I don't buy into that nonsense.

Wow! is it hard to get the land with water and utilities or to be allowed to have a camper?

Something like this would be pretty sweet (as long as there was a kitchen and laundry):
