* ''Literature/TheInvertedWorld'' by Creator/ChristopherPriestNovelist. The city of Earth is in constant motion (but so slowly that most of its inhabitants aren't even aware it moves) on rails which are built ahead of the city and torn up for reuse behind. As a result distance is used a measurement of time, hence the famous opening line: "I had reached the age of six hundred and fifty miles."

* In [=WW2=], UsefulNotes/BernardLawMontgomery was allocated a very large lorry, fitted out as a combination of comfortable living space for himself, along with office space and a conference room to plan and direct his Army Group's operations. He loved it and his "caravan" became part of the Monty image. Conversely, when a second identical caravan was sent to Field Marshal Bill Slim, who commanded the British Army groups in the Far East, his first response was to complain to London that the thing had occupied valuable shipping space that might have been better used for something ''useful'', like another tank. Slim had his converted to an ambulance so it served some function, and carried on defeating the Japanese from a command centre in a makeshift tent.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': Starting from Part II, Chaldea temporarily moves operations from their old Antarcic base to the ''[[AwesomePersonnelCarrier Shadow Border]]''. They soon establish a more permanent base at the Wandering Sea, but they still use the ''Shadow Border'' as their main transportation and mobile field base. Later, the ''Shadow Border'' gets upgraded into the ''[[CoolShip Storm Border]]'', with the capability of sending out the ''Shadow Border'' seperately [[spoiler: and the ''Storm Border'' becomes their primary base after the Foreign God destroys their base at the Wandering Sea.]]
