Huge new motorhome has space for holiday runaround in undercarriage
06th September 2006
German manufacturer Volkner has created a new storage system for Volvo and Mercedes tourers which allows buyers to park their cars under the campers and simply drive away. A five-metre-long loading sled, which is stored neatly between the front and rear wheels of the huge vehicle, slides out to fit a small runaround, such as a Mercedes SLK.

Once the motor is parked, the sled simply retracts and is locked into the undercarriage. So there's no need to tow the car on holiday - it's kept dry and secure. The new motorhome was unveiled to amazed road trip fans at the Düsseldorf Caravan Show. It's compatible with a variety of models, including the BMW Z4, MINI Convertible and Smart Roadster.
This home-and-garage on wheels isn't on sale yet, but potential buyers can expect to pay in the region of £150,000 when it arrives.
