British concept RV clamshells open to let sunshine in
Well, if the traditional RV manufacturing industry suffered through the last economic downturn, how will the new thinkers fare in the future? Robert Williams, a UK designer rolls out his concept called forfreedom, that meshes a fuel efficient auto with a not-so-traditional fifth wheel "caravan," as they call them across the pond.
Williams concept not only tows along with the car (which is detachable) but it also breaks open at center, pivoting open to allow nature to flow in. Critics suggest that not only will fresh air find its way into the trailer, so will bugs. Be that as it may, it is an interesting looking affair, to say the least.source: thedesignblog.com

Vixen motorhomes--short lived, but what a concept
Like other interesting concepts, Vixen Motorhomes came out of California, built in the mid to late 1980s. Apparently the company built less than 600 of these fuel economical motorhomes, getting somewhere in the range of 22 to 30 miles per gallon. Said by some to be a terror to maintain mechanically, they do have an interesting line. The one shown above is an early production model from 1986. Wednesday, April 7, 2010
