German company First Camper, based near Hildesheim, has introduced a range of mini caravans with a gross weight of up to 750 kg, towable with a standard B-class driving license. The lineup includes six models, from the tiny Nano Camper to the 4.61-meter Medi Camper. All models can be rented before purchase and are also available as empty shells for self-conversion. Prices start at 4,899 euros for an empty trailer and reach approximately 15,000 euros for a fully equipped Medi Camper.

Waltraud, an 80-year-old from Ludwigshafen, after 40 years of work receives a pension of about 1,050 euros, half of which goes to rent. She bought a 25-square-meter tiny house on wheels for 10,000 euros and is moving to a campsite. Transport cost 1,300 euros, covered by her daughter and son-in-law. Because her pension exceeds the threshold by 10 euros, she cannot claim social benefits.
