Mobility scooters (or shop riders) are big business in the UK, with close to a quarter of a million of the island nation�s elderly and disabled population using them to get around. In response to a previous untapped market segment, Environmental Transport Association (ETA) has introduced the world�s smallest caravan that can be towed by a mobility scooter.
In what�s perhaps more marketing ploy than real product, ETA�s QTvan is a 2 metre by 0.75 metre (6.6 feet by 2.5 feet) caravan incorporating a full-size single bed, an onboard battery supply, a 19-inch (48 cm) television, radio / alarm clock, kettle and drinks cabinet. It costs �5,500 (US$9,077 / �6,234) and is offered with such extras as roof-mounted solar panels, air horn, satellite dish, central heating and bespoke paint.
