Man Builds His Own Expandable Lightweight Micro Caravan From Scratch

Here are some photos of my Micro Caravan. It’s made by hand with not very many machines (handsaw mostly to get real straight lines) and is made in Holland by me (Jurgen Jas). Fed up with camping in a tent and not being able to find a real nice micro caravan I designed one myself, using bits and pieces of earlier designs from others. This micro caravan is towed by a Suzuki Alto which runs while towing 15,8 km per liter (have fun calculating this in gallons per mile).

  1. Mr. Jas,
    Is the expansion for the purpose of being able to lie down flat to sleep, or is it to increase the feeling of expansiveness inside your inventive, creative caravan? Either way, you have a great talent.

  2. That car you’re pulling with gets about 38 mpg (miles per gallon). Impressive workmanship and design. You must get many people stopping you to see inside.
