J?rg (one of the organizers) finally posted his video. He always does a lot of interviews and shows off everyone?s technology. Many of these people have thousands of kilometers on their trailers. Really interesting builds.

Hi I?m new here and I will some questions in the future but in the meantime I thought I?d show you a glimpse of what bicycle glamping might look like .

What is a Fahrradwohnwagen? Bicycle(fahrrad) camping(wohn) vehicle(wagen) or a bicycle caravan or camping trailer. Apparently Germany has some unique camping laws and camping in a trailer instead of a tent is not camping. This loop-hole is making fahrradwohnwagens very popular. It's a little hard to tell because YT's auto-translate is not the greatest.  Although Paul Elkins is considered the modern godfather of bicycle campers;   during the pandemic, Rene Kreher published a ?How to build? video on Youtube and since then dozens of German Youtubers started building fahrradwohnwagens (aka FoWoWa) and they even have annal meet-ups. There is currently one going on in Kassel, Germany (May 12, 2023).


Bicycle campers have been around for a long time but in the past they were somewhat unique. There are several ?Kreher? and ?Elkins? style trailers in the US and throughout Europe. There are getting to be even bigger ones now, some full blown stand-up tiny homes (a couple of them in Belgium?) and several double axle designs. Currently though the center of activity seems to be in Germany.


Search for ?Fahrradwohnwagen? on Youtube and you will be amazed at how much content there is.
