Mink teardrop remains the quaintest camper pod in the Nordic world
It's been nearly four years since we first covered Mink Campers, but the stylish, little Icelandic-born teardrop trailer still has the ability to draw in one's complete attention, even when photographed against the superlative backdrops of the Land of Fire and Ice.

Concept camper van has fully removable interior ... including bathroom
The European motorhome market is flush with modular camper vans, but more models than not are midsize and smaller vans with simple, compact interiors.
