This Russian travel trailer design is so good it could be real: everyone wishes it was.

If you’re into life on the road and often explore campers and backpackers, you know that the mobile home project is a type of machine that the industry welcomes with open arms. Perhaps this is why Maria Prokosheva has received endless praise for this concept on her Behance page. I chose to use the word concept to describe this set of interpretations because it’s one hell of a possibility to get into the real world.

Now, let’s take a look at the exterior of this camper and examine why it works. Starting at the front, I want you to notice how Maria dropped and sat the front cap to run smoothly into the rest of the bodywork. Why is this so important? Nothing beats aerodynamics. In the process, a large front-facing window comes into view, and if you look closely at the base of the frame, you can see the storage space.

Continuing our way to the back, another set of windows hug the sides of the trailer and complete the 270-degree view with the front window I mentioned. A few system bays and storage compartments can be seen on the side. I would also like to point out the silver body panel that sweeps from front to back. Not only does it look amazing, but it can offer some functionality, like controlled airflow, to help stabilize this unit at highway speeds.

Finally we reached the back. What I really like about this campground is the off-road starting angle. This hints at some off-road capabilities, but based on the single axle, non-existent approach angle, and a few other things, we can safely assume that this concept won’t be confined to anything but asphalt or dirt roads.

From a visual standpoint, I like how there are two tiers of windows in the back. for what Well, that question will come back the moment we turn around in this section. If you look closely at the pictures in the gallery, especially the pictures with floor plans, you’ll see that the collections are stacked in the background. Each of these births receives its own view, hence the windows. Another sleeping area suitable for two people is available in front, in the form of a modular dinette.

Sure, places where up to four people can lay their heads for the night are nice and all, but that’s not what we’re here for. What I really like about the interior is how it’s all laid out. For example, the dinette covers the entire width of the camp, providing an open space. Speaking of space, to maximize it, Maria mentions that the entrance and the galley are connected to each other to create a large space to blend in without disrupting the surrounding traffic flow.

To the bands I mentioned earlier, on the left we pass the entertainment center, and on the right, we share the same wall with the dinette, where the bathroom is waiting. What more do you want? Storage? There are many that are oversized and integrated into furniture.

Then there’s the overall styling factor behind this concept. It’s minimal, clean-cut and combines different colors and tones to create an attractive space, and this is where this concept shines. Look, I cover RVs and campers a lot, and if there’s one thing I can say about this design, it’s that it’s approachable. Don’t you believe me?

All you need to build the base for this bugger is a single-axle steel chassis, preferably galvanized. Add an aluminum frame to it and figure out what material your panels and front cap should be made of. Since it is a very curved design, fiberglass or GPP is probably your choice, and the current industry knows how to use such materials. Find the right insulation, interior panel designs and materials and you’re ready to hit the industry with a new machine.

Of course, things are a bit more complicated than this and involve building this vision to street-legal standards, but again, I feel it can be done. If it’s in the real world, sign me up! Considering that there are some travel trailers that feature the design features found in this project, it may not be before this dream becomes a reality.

Now, every time I look at this design, more and more ideas start pouring into my head. I found myself on the side of a road at sunset with my house on wheels in the background, and in the middle of some fields with no one but my loved ones. During these daydreams, I find myself fishing and even kayaking. I even have a bike rack installed on the back of my Russian land boat. Sounds like I’m talking about a real machine. Fingers crossed for this concept.
