When the phrase “alternative living” is mentioned, many people instantly imagine the Hippies of the 1960s, or the Roma and their Gypsy Wagons in Europe. I have received a few snide remarks myself regarding living in a school bus that has been converted to a motorhome, or riding my recumbent trike...
