This is the third feature of unusual designs past and present, and this time the spotlight is on caravans. As you can see, it shows which models or prototypes have been successful, and which haven’t.

You might think that caravans are the most traditional recreational vehicles and there has never been anything innovative or even strange or curious proposed, but nothing could be more false. In the last 20 years, many unusual caravans have been presented; many have been only prototypes, others have come into regular production. Several themes have been developed in the past which now relate to current production models. For example, the lounge area has been presented with an L-shaped dinette, which gives a pleasant feeling of space, and there was also the solution of the garage under the high front bed. Numerous attempts to create innovative layouts by introducing bed movement systems have been seen over the years, ranging including drop-down, folding and sliding beds … And then there is obviously the theme of the multifunctional vehicle, designed to transport various types of sports equipment, so equipped with a modular interior, as well as a large rear loading opening.
