Yam Netz, facing high rental costs, built a fully equipped home in an 11-square-meter caravan and lived in it for four years while traveling across Israel. He bought a basic shell for 30,000 shekels and spent about 60,000 shekels more on materials and systems. He now rents it out for 2,500 shekels a month, without land.
