That reminds me of one of the short fiction works that was posted to Kuro5hin.org back before the site fell apart -- the story was called T.E.U. (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/4/3/19455/41933), and was based on a wealthy guy who traveled by having his container-house moved from place to place.

See also Clifford Simak's _The Werewolf Principle_, where mobile (and semi-sentient) houses are the norm and people think that old-fashioned static houses are a crazy idea. What happens if you fall out with your neighbours? What if you get bored with the view? What happens if the fishing goes bad?
