And started to install the electric connections inside the box.

This is a european standard trailer connector normally installed at the car.
Every trailer has the matching plug.

You have surpassed your goal ! It's an outstanding
micro-caravan [er - wohnwagen, rather]. Thanks
for sharing its creation with us. You've given the
gift of inspiration to us all.

Have a safe and fun journey to Spain and on your
return trip home.

Cheers,
Norm/mezmo

While living you germany, my landlord little boy would look at my Remote Control planes, and with a big smile say

“Das ist Super”. He would then give me a thumbs up… That is what I have to say about your build, but I’ll give you two thumbs up

Das ist Super :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

have a safe trip.

Back again after 8.588 km thru Germany, France, Andorra, Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar in sixteen days.

All the inhabitants of the peninsula, I met, loved the caravan.

Here the proof ! (shot in Gibraltar)
