Solar powered camper
This is just a fantastic concept, something that combines my geeky nature, my love of camping, and my go-green tendencies. Verdier has created a concept camper that uses hybrid driving capabilities and solar power for the camper. It uses an on-board computer and GPS device to figure out the best place to position the camper’s “Sun Tracker” which then pulls in solar power to operate.
What a fantastic idea. They’re speculating on about $69K if they ever get them onto an assembly line.
I love that it uses solar power, more of our devices should operate that way. And be still my heart, that GPS-calculated tracker for the sun is just brilliant. Talk about optimizing your power!
I’d definitely try one of these!

How about something for real people. Most people don’t have 65K around plus this camper is too small. How about something for the common person that can retrofit there own camper. Cut out the mark up and be real.
Thanks
