Elovan: The Solar-Powered Camper Trailer

A Sustainable and Functional Mobile Home for Nature Lovers

Inspired by the awe of nature and the desire for low-profile consumption, the Elovan camping trailer is the perfect companion for adventure seekers.

Your own living space, your own amenities, and a motor vehicle that has it all - that's what you call a camper trailer. Elovan, designed by Hakan Gürsu and the Designnobis team, is a simple and functional concept with a chic look. Whether you're using it for short leisure activities, vacations, or camping, or simply interested in having a mobile home for yourself, this camper trailer will bring you pleasure in nature and life.

One of the standout features of Elovan is its sustainability. Energy is retrieved from the solar panels, generating electricity to sustain onboard accessories even when the vehicle is not in motion. With dimensions of 3 meters in length, 1.75 meters in width, and 2 meters in height, it is designed to fit on standard trailers, providing travelers with a sense of comfort and offering features that promote flexibility and freedom to interact with fellow neighbors and nature. The main material used in its construction is molded fiberglass.

Elovan is designed to accommodate two people and is very compact in design. It is wide enough to include a small closet, a bedroom with a double bed, a kitchen, a shower and sink, and a toilet. Storage space exists under the foldable double bed, and a folding table on the rear side of the trailer is used for dining and seating. The tent over the table, attached to the roof of the trailer, can be fixed to the ground with sticks and rope that have hooks at the end.

The Elovan camper trailer was developed in Ankara in 2014, following extensive market research to improve existing standards while keeping costs low. The challenge within this project was to create an electrical caravan that could achieve high performance.

Elovan's unique combination of sustainability and functionality makes it a modern and creative camper trailer that stands out from the rest. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2015, recognized for its well-designed, practical, and innovative features that meet professional and industrial requirements. The camper trailer integrates industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings, contributing to a better world.
