When we talk about spending some days in the middle of nowhere or enjoying the nature, everyone thinks about a tent or a caravan. With these amazing portable houses, this kind of short trips will be totally different.
We all know that not everyone like sleeping in a tent. I personally find them a bit uncomfortable and when sun is shining, it is impossible to stay in there. You can sleep there for an emergency but spending more than one night can be a nightmare.
