A tiny house like no other
The Rubishack is not your average tiny house. Built atop a first-generation 12-valve Cummins pickup truck, this mobile home features four bolt-on tracks instead of wheels, allowing it to traverse challenging terrains with ease. With dimensions of 16 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 11 feet tall, the Rubishack offers a surprisingly spacious interior despite its compact exterior.

Off-grid capabilities
This tiny house on tracks truly embodies the concept of off-grid living.

It is a mobile home that laughs in the face of nature’s obstacles, offering unparalleled freedom to its occupants.

HOW THIS TINY HOUSE FLIPS ITS DESIGN WITH AN UPSIDE-DOWN LAYOUT
Rustic charm meets modern functionality
The exterior of the Rubishack features a rustic wooden facade, complete with generous glazing and even a flower planter at the front made out of a rain gutter. Inside, the layout is cleverly designed with the driver’s position in the middle, a double-size bed at the front (over the engine), and a dinette area at the back. However, the Rubishack is known as a dry cabin with no running water. So, no shower, no toilet, no sink.

The walls and the ceiling are made of beadboard with MDF (Medium-density fiberboard) trim. The interior features swivel seats sourced from a 1970s motorhome, providing comfort and style, while the panoramic windows offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Not just a tiny house but a marketing tool
Scott Profit, the owner of Rubitracks, admits that the Rubishack was primarily created as a marketing tool rather than a serious attempt to revolutionize tiny house living. This unique approach has certainly paid off, garnering significant attention across social media platforms and captivating the imaginations of tiny house enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

Imagine where we will be once we solve gravity and solve energy. … At least until we the terrorists get hold of it!
Love the Rubishack concept, solar needed, I would pull this up to my concrete pod, next to a mini washroom and utility shed. My views of the mountains in Eastern AZ and a short ride to sit next to my local lake, fish for dinner in warm weather, in Winter I’d drive my home to my local the ski mountain enjoying the cross country skiing and returning for a hot chocolate before driving my home back to my lot. Best of all worlds.
How insulated can we make it, is cold in the mountains. Also how do I transport my home long distant? Doesn’t seem possible it would be highway safe.
