In an age where 'small' and 'less' get a lot of approval, you'd expect something like this: instead of the city bus-sized RVs we've come to expect on the road, here's a tiny tot meant to be towed behind a bicycle...or, since it sleeps two, a bicycle built for two.
Soon to be available in Britain and eventually everywhere, it was invented by a Danish entrepreneur, Mads Johansen, who named it the Wide Path Camper. An initial batch of 50 were snapped up right away.
It's 45kg weight was designed for bicycle towing, and its shape, which somewhat resembles the famous Airstream trailer of old, should cut down resistance. In tests, it has withstood high winds. It sleeps 2.5 (presumably a child) and can hold 4 adults. It's priced at about $3800 complete; a deluxe version with a more luxurious mattress and a few other extras goes for $4300. Optional solar panels are extra.
