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.

How many bullet holes in Kaluchev's camper?

The mother of the deceased, Ralitsa Asenova, published photos of the camper where three people died near Okolchitsa. The photos show nine holes in the roof hatch, contradicting the prosecution's version of three shots. One projectile remained in the skull of Nikolay Zlatkov. The camper with the bodies of Ivo Kaluchev, Alexander Makulev, and Nikolay Zlatkov was found on February 8, seven days after the deaths of Ivaylo Ivanov, Plamen Statev, and Decho Vasilev at Petrohan.
