ABSTRACT:
A vehicle adapted for overland travel, having: a top (or optionally bottom) vehicle-bracing frame of four end-joined angular members, each being angular in cross section, having elongated sides at angles to each other; tubular members, each formed of end-joined cans (or optionally of pipes that preferably are of plastic) and having joints of additional thickness of the pipe or can material; exterior skin means, preferably of mesh, and stucco of portland cement, epoxy putty or other cement and light-weight aggregate on the mesh; interior skin means that optionally may be of stucco on mesh or panels of plywood or the like; and insulation adjacent to tubular members. This insulation preferably includes light-weight, economical insulating material inside the cans or pipes. Optional insulation may include in-situ-applied foam plastic or strips of foam rubber placed in V-shaped spaces between sidewalls of the tubular members. The vehicle has: a front steerable wheel, having bearings in a motorcycle-like steering fork; a single rear driving wheel, aligned with the front wheel in a fore-and-aft driving axis that is laterally spaced from the central fore-and-aft line of the body - in travel between that line and the middle of the roadway; at least one sidewheel that is laterally spaced from the driving axis toward an outer edge of the roadway and rotates on the road; and, preferably, a second sidewheel that is laterally spaced from the driving axis toward the middle of the roadway and in normal forward travel is clear of the road, but contacts it on excessive vehicular roll.
