For this reason, after having built the last few years almost exclusively 1/13 scale trucks, last winter I devoted myself to a new project: a workshop for vintage VW Transporter (especially T1 and T2). The idea comes out from LEGO set #10220 which I bought in 2011 and has remained MISB (Mint In Sealed Box) until a few months ago.

Volkswagen T1 Camper Van Reviews - page 2Dreaming of a summer road trip adventure? You’ll love the Happier Camper HC1, a retro-modern tiny trailer with a LEGO-like modular interior. Designed for off-grid use, this solar-powered camper features an adorable round-edged vintage shell reminiscent of the two-tone VW vans. Reconfiguring the tiny camper interior is a snap with “Adaptiv,” a modular system that allows users to swap out furniture components and create a variety of living spaces—from a five-person bedroom to a kitchen—in a matter of minutes. Weighing in at just 1,100 pounds (500 kilograms), the ultra-lightweight HC1 travel trailer can be easily pulled by small cars. Its 100% high-quality fiberglass shell comes in a colored gel coat of your choice and is outfitted with a roomy rear hatch, side entry door, beveled wheel flares, and three large panoramic windows that bring in plenty of natural light. The compact camper measures 13 feet (4 meters) in length and approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters) in width, and can fit in a standard single parking space.
The versatile “Adaptiv” interior and modular furniture are also made of lightweight fiberglass. Its six base components—a bench, kitchenette, table, cushion, floor panel, and lid—can be moved into different configurations and clicked into place like LEGO blocks. The interior’s walkable floor space measures 42 square feet and there is a little over 6 feet of headroom. The HC1 also comes equipped with a 100 W solar panel, heated shower, awning, Bose sound system, built-in USB and AC power sockets, and a tablet docking station.

The camper’s base model will cost $13,950 USD and the company has plans to expand to European and Asian markets next year. Can’t wait to get one of your own?

Designed for this week's Motorhome & Caravan Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK, the world's largest Lego caravan stands 7.2 feet (2.2 m) tall and uses more than 200,000 blocks in its construction. And it actually sounds like it could offer a (semi) comfortable night of sleep, complete with running water, working lights and a place to lay your head.We've learned over the years that Lego building isn't just for children. It's also a creative outlet for adults, who put their minds and hands to work creating everything from X-Wing and Rolls-Royce jet engine models to working hot rods.The Lego teardrop joins the latter as a life-size Lego design that actually works. The trailer has real camping amenities, including a sink with running water, working electric lights and a dinette set that transforms into a bed.
It also has a model refrigerator and cooking equipment.The Lego trailer is based on an actual T@B 320 RS teardrop trailer, and it has a wheeled AL-KO chassis and metal frame supporting the colorful building blocks. Twelve professional Lego builders completed the project over a 12-week period, putting in more than 1,000 man hours.The Lego caravan measures 7.2 feet high by 11.8 feet long (2.2 by 3.6 m) and is made from 215,158 Lego bricks. Guinness handed over the world record certificate for "largest caravan built with interlocking plastic bricks" after the ceremonial last blocks were added at its premiere earlier this week.It doesn't sound like there are any plans to take the Lego trailer camping in the wild, but the caravan will make two appearances at the NEC, for the Motorhome & Caravan Show this week and the BRICK 2015 Lego fan event from October 29 to November 1. After that it will be used as a leisure vehicle promotional tool in the national "Freedom to Go" campaign.If you happen to be in the area, you can see the Lego caravan at the Motorhome & Caravan Show through Sunday.
If not, you can see more of the design and build in the photo gallery.
