PERFECT for EVs - Holtkamper Take Off Trailer Tent
If you drive an electric vehicle, you'll be aware that it is not just the weight of the trailer you tow that adversely affects your range, it's also the aerodynamics of the trailer or caravan.
A trailer tent would be the ideal solution, but they can be a faff to put up and take down.
What if you could have the comfort of a caravan, and the convenience of a trailer tent?
The clever people at Holtkamper, a premium manufacturer in the Netherlands, think that they have found the solution in the form of the Holtkamper Take-Off, which is basically a cross between a caravan and a trailer tent.
For more information about the Take-Off, please see the Holtkamper website:
Holtkamper DOES have dealers in the UK :)
