A little smaller rig

[Barko1]

Inspired by the Piaggio APE 50 tricycle, the German designer Cornelius Comanns has designed a one person home for modern travelers. The Bufalino Camper is a great mixture of Italian design and German functionality. The mini-camper comes with all services needed for modern people on the move. Which means it not only gives space to a bed, shower, kitchen and plenty of storage space, but also a fridge and laptop desk. Altogether the Bufalino Camper is extremely flexible, although it has no toilet on board. About the goal of the project, Comanns says:

“My aim was to give people a better understanding of the country, the surrounding, and the range they have travelled. the travelling vehicle is always with you like some kind of a base camp, while also being used for moving on in an easygoing and spontaneous way.”

Hmmm, yes, I don't see an engine in those drawings. Do you, Barko?

Oh sure, now you tell me! I ordered a new XPCamper when I could of had one of these. I'll have to give Marc a call.

Well I understand it is based on a 3 wheel scooter and most scooters have the engine attached to the rear suspension somehow so it might be under there. Otherwise it would still be good on the downhills.

I see a metal grate under the rear end likely where the motor is enclosed.
