Tonke Campers are a bit of a new obsession for me, harking back to an era fine craftsmanship (and 1920s Dutch boatbuilding).
If you think $50,000 is steep for this gypsy caravan-inspired mini house (plus $50,000 more if you want the vehicle), consider that each one is hand-built in the village of Wagenberg, Netherlands, constructed with such high quality materials as stainless steel, polished mahogany, a porcelain sink, and lovely warm teak wood throughout. And this beautiful, fully self-contained camper can be lifted off the vehicle in 15 minutes.
The weekly rental (between $670 and $1250 per week, depending on the model and season) would certainly provide a luxury camping experience for dreamers and potential owners alike.

These are beautiful, too bad they are so expensive!
My grandfather in New Mexico built an entire camper himself by hand on top of a truck chassis and its all-wood cabinetry interior looked like this. The outside looked like a big silver aluminum box. It was awesome. A work of art. I wanted it badly so I could preserve it but my cousins got it upon his passing and let it sit and rot. Sad.
