A British man recently upset his neighbours somewhat after converting a 12.2m-long refrigerated truck into a mobile home. The vehicle features a shower, kitchen area, two bedrooms and a living room, with a lift providing easy access. The man took down a section of fencing so that he could park the truck on his property. Although the man is delighted with his new vehicle, his neighbours are somewhat less enchanted and described it as a massive eyesore.
