Modern Campers, Futuristic Motorhomes

As more and more people embrace the nomadic lifestyle, motorhomes and trailer designs have ditched the image of square chunks of metal that your grandfather toted around. Check the post at http://weburbanist.com/2009/07/01/futuristic-mobile-homes-trailer-trash-or-treasure/

Here some more images (click on image)

The coolest one, at least in this authors opinion, is the modular Colim Concept by Austrian Designer Christian Susana:

Colim, short for “Colors Of Life In Motion,” is a stunning blend of a motorhome, caravan and a car but the striking feature of this concept is the detachable car. A camper can drive the caravan to any camping location and then remove the car from the main body and drive it anywhere he or she wants to. This design makes sure that the camper is not only enjoying each and every scenic location in the vicinity, but also assures a green and fuel-efficient ride.

Below is an image of this concept:

Cheap Motorhome Holidays in France

Here's the link to a gorgeous article in The Guardian, about a group who went on a vineyard tour through France in a campervan. They even got to stay for free in some places, although who knows how much was spent on wine...

"We ended up buying a bottle or two of each. It was the least we could do. After all, each of these kind Frenchmen had let us stay with them for a night, for absolutely nothing. Along with about 1,300 other wine-growers and farmers across the country, they have joined an initiative called France Passion, under which holidaymakers with campervans or motor homes can stay on their land, free for a maximum of 24 hours."

Thief Steals a Caravan with a bonus surprise

... the bonus being a sleeping owner! here's the story and the source

A thief made off with a caravan in Skövde in southern Sweden on Saturday night. To his surprise he later found that the caravan's owner was asleep inside at the time.

The hapless thief took his chance to make off with the caravan parked at Billingsluttningen in Skövde by connecting it to the back of his car, according to Sveriges Radio Skaraborg.

But little did he know that he was also taking the caravan's owner along for an impromptu nightime drive.

The thief discovered his unwelcome booty only after making his getaway, when he pulled over and attempted to force entry into the mobile home.

The caravan's owner, who had been abruptly woken from his slumber when his holiday abode had been fastened to the thief's car, then screamed at the would-be intruder.

The resultant shock was enough to persuade the thief to flee the scene, empty-handed.

Skövde police have been supplied with a full report of the incident and have classified the crime as attempted theft and endangerment.
