When you have that sudden and strange inspiration to leave behind all the worldly comforts and go trailing across the wild country on your bicycle lugging your trailer behind it, you need to be travelling light just else you’re going to tire away pretty fast. Cycling in extreme weathers can’t be easy if your trailer is too heavy; that’s why you need the smallest possible mobile home.

Paul Elkins entered the Burning Man project which invites designers to create the wildest designs: the wackier, the more creative your design. Paul’s cycle-towed trailer is the wackiest you can get at the moment. This must be the smallest trailer ever (unless the shoemaker made one for his elves)! The trailer has all the necessary equipment; a solar over, a urinal funnel and taking a shower would be easy with the solar water heater. The 100 pound trailer has a wind turbine on top, a hot air collector for a food dehydrator, and pretty much everything else you need in a home away from home.

Paul camped out in the trailer for a week during the Burning Man event. It’s the back of the trailer that’s most impressive; you can see a see-through bubble jutting out where Paul’s head would be when he’s in bed. Why? For stargazing, of course..
