have you seen a smaller camper than this?
They didn't do themselves any favours with the styling! Looks like something out of the 1960's. Something like this could work, if it was properly designed. The Romahome Solo is winning hands down at the moment!
I'm afraid that looks like a cross between a Reliant robin and a skip

reliant three pin plugs mmmm , in 1970 myself and a few mates were in leeds on a night out, and firmly planted a reliant in the middle of a flower bed opposite the leeds general infirmary . i do hope it wasent yours was it ????????As someone who, many years ago, owned a Reliant Robin, I resent that insult to skips!

I've had a renault kangoo "Roo" one man camper for severAL YEARS. THERE ARE FEW AROUND AND THEY ARE DESIGNES TWO BERTHS. i OPTED FOR ONE BERTH BUT HAD EVERYTHING 5 GAL WATER TANK, FRIDGE 89 W SOLAR AND 3 BATTERIES, HOOKUP ETC -ALMOST NOTHING LEFT OUT AND I LIVEd ABOARD FOR MONTHS ON END ALL OVER EUROPE MOSTLY TOWING A SMALL SAILING BOAt too or else with a back rack and boxes added and always with a folding bike aboard one way or another. And no- I never stayed on a single site.
Small doesn't have to be beautiful but it needs be and if thoughtfully done- useful.

I once had a guided tour of the Reliant factory and one fact I always remember, After the bodies were moulded, each one was weighed. This was ensure that they didn't exceed the maximum weight allowed by law. As a result the heaviest shells were built as basic models, whilst the "GL" types, with things like radios, opening windows and other "luxuries, were built out of the lightest shells. It must have been pretty marginal on weight.
I love the ingenuity of some people, when I was at school a fellow student had one of those big family sidecars on a large capacity bike of some sort. He stripped the interior seats and put in a bed, small stove arrangement in the boot if I remember right.
I've also met an American guy who lived in a Fiat 500 for many years, he slept across the back seat with his legs bent over the front passenger seat position. He lived in and around the Tanners Hatch youth hostel in Surrey whilst trying to avoid deportation!!
