A sleek-rotating travel trailer is now available to buy after initial designs were announced over a decade ago. The Romotow T8 rotating caravan - which resembles a USB stick when extended - has hit the market at £187,124 ($375,000 NZD).
Designed by New Zealand-based architecture firm W2, the travel trailer is much more than a luxury RV, with its futuristic two-part design expanding the living space substantially. Broken down into two parts, one portion of the chassis is immovable, while the other part, which holds the living space, can rotate to a 90-degree position at the push of a button, allowing the chassis to be used as a covered patio or deck.
Designed to accommodate up to six people, Romotow includes a saloon with a kitchenette a stand-up shower, toilet, and a main bedroom that can sleep two adults. The dining lounge in the main cabin features wraparound panoramic glass windows, a fold-down table and two bench seats.
The dining benches fold out into a comfortable sleeping area either as two single beds or a double bed offering space for larger parties. The open kitchenette includes a gas cooktop and oven, a sink, and a fridge and freezer unit.
