Well, Ms Spud had the GoPro in upside down mode, so when I flipped it up the right way in the video editing package, it actually mirrored it. I couldn't find a function to rotate it 180 degrees, so that was the best I could do!

I used PowerDirector 12 which has many many features, but I couldn't see the rotate command. I'm sure it's there, I am just a beginner using it though.

How does $10 sound? That's a silly offer, so is it mine now...?

Strangely, I was thinking of "silly" in completely the opposite direction... with a lot more digits in it

**Homestar** · 2nd December 2014, 04:56 AM

I can add 1 digit to it...

**dobbo** · 2nd December 2014, 09:29 AM

I'll add 7 more digits to it. (with a carefully placed decimal point)

Great work you should be proud.

This post is not related to my truck at all, rather it is a build thread by a bloke in NZ who pretty much put a normal house onto a truck! "Lightweight" does not figure in this guys vocabulary whatsoever!!

I am not sure how much vibration it would tolerate, and I am quite sure it would not pass the Elk Test as it is so top heavy, but he did it all himself and on a very modest budget.

Here's the link to his posts (4 pages) and some photos follow so you can see what he's built: House on a Hino

I am completely amazed that he ever got it registered. Don't reckon they'd let it through here in Australia!

An excellent build! You have to love a camper with genuine stained glass windows

So the 2 annexes on either side slide in and out???

**spudboy** · 19th December 2014, 09:50 PM

Yeah - he made his own slider system on both sides:

'House trucks' used to be quite a thing in NZ back probably in the 70's. They had chook pens, verandahs, window boxes with flowers growing etc. You'd have to endure them struggling along with several miles of traffic backed up behind.
I'm sure google would find some pretty interesting photos from back then.
Don.
