World’s Tiniest Camper Van Is Adorable, Surprisingly Practical

Phuket Marina

If you took a camper van and squeezed it onto a tricycle, this is what you’d get.

The Bufalino is basically the ultimate adventure trike for grownups who hit the open road — or prep for the zombie apocalypse. In addition to being adorable, it offers storage, a sleeping area, a mini-office (OK, a micro-mini-office), and even a sink and stove. (Bathroom sold separately.)

Industrial design student Cornelius Comanns started with a classic Piaggio Ape 50 three-wheeled scooter and then created a digital mockup of his dream one-man camper. tumblr_inline_nu6230Uwp21t1pjyy_1280

It’s just a concept, alas, but perhaps someday it will hit the open road. Since it doesn’t yet exist, we can only suppose the top speed is … leisurely. The standard Piaggio Ape has a 175-cc engine and won’t crack 40 mph.

Nevertheless, the commenters on Comanns’s site are impressed, and so are we.

“Wonderful concept and superb rendering,” writes one fan who “fell in love with that cute vehicle.”

Comanns originally posted his creation online several years ago, but it’s just started to generate some buzz on design sites like Gear Junkie. Here’s hoping it’s finally time for his idea to come to life.
