It's the cramper van World’s smallest mobile home has 4ft living space
A MADCAP mechanic has built the world's smallest campervan — with a 4ft living space.
Dubbed the cramper van, the mini mobile home still has room for four seats, a stove, a sink, a table and a bed.
But holidays in the Highlands might be a tall order, as it relies on pedal power to pull it along.
The wacky invention, built by Dorset custom car fanatic Andy Saunders, is a mash-up of an old Bedford Bambi van and a Butlins-style pedal cart.
Inside the cabin there is seating for four people, although one of the seats folds down over the two-ring hob and sink.
The roof space extends out by 2ft 6ins, providing enough room for a small bed.
The cosy camper took around two weeks to make and cost £1,000 in materials.
Andy said: “We think our mini camper is the smallest camper in the world. I certainly don’t know of anything else smaller.
“The Bedford Bambi was the smallest camper van ever made, and we’ve shaved about 6ft off that.”
He added: “We wanted the camper to be finished to the highest quality.
“Inside it’s fully insulated and upholstered, it has a twin hob to cook on, a sink to wash up in.
“It’s got a big side window and even a small bed, you have to tuck up a bit but it’s perfect for a power nap.
“It is a little cramped but it’s all good fun, everyone who sees it says ’wow’.”
