Finally, someone has designed a camper trailer for electric cars. It was born from a failed idea: a roof box that turned into a house

Wheelhome has launched the Dashaway eCT, an ultralight camper trailer designed specifically for electric vehicles. The trailer weighs 340 kg, offers 3.94 m² of living space with a kitchen and convertible bed, and features a gas-free, all-electric system. Priced at £26,225, it addresses the range and weight concerns that plagued its previous roof-mounted prototype for the Tesla Model 3.

If Homer Simpson had designed a camper car, it would have been like this six-wheeled Cadillac with a coffee maker and TV

In 1978, Swiss designer Franco Sbarro created a mobile office based on a Cadillac Eldorado for Saudi businessman Joseph E. Adjadj. The vehicle, over seven meters long and weighing nearly three tons, featured four large seats, desks, telephones, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a TV, but no beds or kitchen. The project remained a single prototype, as it was considered too large, expensive, and ahead of its time for an era without remote work culture.

Motorhome or caravan: the key difference for holidaymakers

The choice between a motorhome and a caravan is determined not so much by technical parameters as by travel style. A motorhome offers spontaneity and minimal hassle upon arrival, allowing easy changes of parking spot. A caravan, on the other hand, provides mobility on site: after setting up the trailer, you can freely move around in a passenger car. According to the NKC, traveling with a caravan is less practical when frequently changing locations, but wins out when staying long-term at one site.
