Belarusian teardrop trailers: a family hobby turned into a travel business
A family of skydivers from Belarus started building and renting out miniature teardrop trailers. The first trailer was built in a garage during winter, after which the couple launched the Skycamper brand. The fleet includes three models, including the new 'Vasilyok'. Weighing about 650 kg, the trailers feature a sleeping area, kitchen, autonomous lighting, and a solar panel. Registration of homemade campers in Belarus has become more complicated due to alienation restrictions, so the business focuses on rentals. Rental prices start at 80 Belarusian rubles on weekdays, no deposit required.
