Just spotted in Greece

Mini pop up camper with Kitchen and bedroom

Sits over the back of a car

Brilliant or crazy?

Those flimsy supports wouldn't take much "bedroom activity"

Lol. Cool. !!! Lol

 

[DavidG58]

intriguing, can you please be sure to be there when they pack up, for photos of it all folded up and hooked back on to the car please

I also can't see those front legs taking enough weight to support a breeze let alone someone of 'typical' proportions like my good self think I might have to stick with my Hymer fixed bed

 

[TinaLes]

Interesting, yes be good to see it hooked up to car.
Suppose its a sort of mini 5th wheeler, wonder where it was made, bets anyone?

That’s exactly how I would describe it

Had a sneaky peek inside
It’s a huge bed - transverse

I think huge is relative Robert

In proportion to its footprint I would imagine even the sink is huge

That reminds me ..
How’s @Techno getting on with his hot tub ?

It looks like one of these (link below). IIRC they appeared in the '80s and didn't catch on. They attach to the hitch and to the car roof - they don't articulate as there's no room between it & the car - so the whole thing becomes a 6-wheel (tag-axle) car. I can imagine much understeer ...............

So, apart from saving on ferry costs; what is the advantage over a normal caravan?

If they are a tag axle, then those four wheel clip-cars are going to be pretty unmanageable on tight bends

Yes they were around in the 80's & the one @Chockswahay posted was a better one as it mounted to the beetle roof centrally & the car could do a 180º & reverse the unit whilst facing forwards.

The main "supposed" advantage over a conventional caravan was stability and ease of reversing
