Flying Cars have been in the offing for years now- and no sign of them ever eventuating. However, if you look elsewhere for signs of the future, they are many and varied. The new Ecco Camper doesn't fly, but it folds and unfolds like clean washing to create an environmentally friendly, spacious yet small and most importantly futuristic-looking campervan.
The Ecco is 4.5 m long, and shaped somewhat like a teardrop. When stopped for the night, the top flips up and walls collapse, seats fold down to make it a comfortable and roomy living space. It is designed to sleep 5. An 8-hour charge will keep it running for 24 hours, and it has no emissions. The transport of the future!
Keep an eye out for this slick-looking pod at a camping ground or holiday park near you!

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
