A true minimalist trailer....

Friday, April 22, 2011

Designed for scooters, just think of the possibilities!

The QTvan is the world’s smallest caravan and is so named because it caters to three peculiarly British obsessions: queuing, tea and caravans.

As well as a 19” television on which to watch the ceremony highlights, and a drinks cabinet with which to toast the happy couple, the tiny caravan boasts tea-making facilities – essential for a royal day out.


If any extra provisions are needed, the caravan is so compact it can be towed inside a supermarket.

The Environmental Transport Association (ETA) developed the QTvan to highlight the estimated 220,000 people who use a mobility scooter without breakdown cover and face the prospect of a very long wait should they suffer a mechanical fault or their battery runs flat.

The ETA warns that the QTvan is best-suited to local trips. If it is used to venture further afield, extra time should be allowed. For example, a trip from London to a popular caravanning destination like the New Forest would take 2 days, while a journey to Whitby would take one week.

Till next time - keep on rollin',

  1. I think that is the cutest little thing, but at 5 mph, it would take a long time to get anywhere. but wouldn't it be fun?

  2. I love it! It appeals to the miniaturist in me. I'd need a bigger scooter to pull it, though. :)

  5. I wonder if there's something similar here in the U.S. I hate laundromats and have a thought that I could convert a small trailer and put an RV washer and dryer in it and pull it behind Olivia.
