Mehrzeller

Caravanning is bringing sexy back. Yes, it’s true. No longer left entirely to the realms of feisty family holidays the caravanning world is about to turn ice cool.

An exciting new prototype caravan, the Mehrzeller, was revealed at this week’s Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf and is getting campers and RV enthusiasts all hot under the collar.

Inside Mehrzeller

The completely customizable trailer was designed by two Austrian architecture students, Theresa Kalteis and Christian Freissling, as part of their thesis project ‘Mobile Living Solutions’ and is set to become a reality as there has been so much interest in the design – a far cry from the run-of-the-mill designs that have been cruising the freeways and back roads all summer.

    Sorry, Linda, but you’ve just brought us a stunning set of images of the Antarctic then present us with this monstrocity!

    Just when you thought caravans couldn’t get uglier someone ‘designs’ this!?

    So it’s customizable, so what? It’s absolutely hideous.

    But as this is an environmental blog, let’s look at it environmentally - it’s environmentally hideous! Can you imagine what all those ridiculous angles and lumps will do to fuel economy?

    Plus, this is ‘fashion’, nothing more. When this kind of hideous hulk becomes unfashionable, what’s going to happen? Yep, 1000s of these hideous things will get dumped when there’s still years and years of life in them mechanically.

    I hope this idea dies a very quick death.

    I second that motion, what are the advantages of this design other than an eyesore. This was designed by kids for kids, last time I checked kids dont buy caravans. It seems to be tagged as eco-green travel; what exactly is eco-green about about it? Personally I believe all caravans are a joke, fuel consumption, maintenance, emissions after you do the math you can just fly and stay at five star hotels for the remainder of the average life time of a caravan for about the same cost.

    This wasn’t designed by kids, it was designed by the makers of ‘Tron’.
