After a run-in with an inspector who was sure the home relied on a steel structure, Hughes avoided extra electrical inspections by wiring the lighting as 12 volt (something that doesn\u2019t require inspection). The shelter actually relies on the biaxial fiberglass used in catamarans for its structural strength.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you\u2019ll see in the video, the riverside lunar lander getaway even survived a fire.
