HAPPY CAMPER

An Icelandic company is pushing the design envelope with its boutique hotel room on wheels

– JEREMY FREED

If camping trailers have a reputation for being unsightly beige boxes with poor insulation and uncomfortable mattresses, it is a well-earned one. But does it have to be this way? One Icelandbased company thought long and hard about this question before answering with a resounding “Nei!” The result is the Mink 2.0, an all-terrain sports trailer with a sleek exterior and enough high-tech comfort and convenience on board to satisfy the most discerning 21st-century road warrior.

Outfitted with grey upholstery and natural wood trim, the Mink’s interior combines the finish of a modern boutique hotel room with the efficient layout of a futuristic space pod. The cabin boasts a queen-sized mattress and a panoramic moonroof with enviable views of the night sky. A pop-up rear kitchenette features divided storage for cooking implements and groceries as well as an integrated ice chest.

Unfortunately for Canadians, the Mink 2.0 is currently only available for sale in Europe. Design this good, however, is bound to travel.
