Capsule Caravan – An ultra compact pod for urban caravanning
Keeping up with the spirit of up-scale alfresco entertainment that oozed from the 10 Best Tailgating options, here’s another equally smart, compact, self-sufficient alternative. Sadly still a concept, the Capsule Caravan is conceptualized by David Tonkinson for a fun-filled caravanning time. Intending to revive the old fashion of caravan living, David has shaped up this uber compact and light-weighted capsule that can comfortably house two people. Simply hook it to your city car and tow it to your destination to cut off from this chaotic lifestyle.It can expand as well contract with the use of linear actuators which facilitates easy storage and towing. When closed down, it can be aptly parked in a standard sized car parking space.
Enough talking about its form, lets step inside this capsule. The interior is split in to two pods for comfortable living. The Comfort Pod provides seating and sleeping space for two adults with a 12v power supply and a audio system while the Service Pod provides water system, power supply and storage space for personal items. The large central window provides natural light and contains an electrochromatic film, which changes from transparent to opaque at the flick of a button.
Hey David, with the weekend right on, I’m already dreaming of cozying up by the river bed in this uber-cool capsule.
