The solar roof on Vodafone mobile home makes it green

The Vodafone mobile home was designed to promote the fixed phone and internet wireless service. But that is not the reason why I am writing about this nomadic vehicle. It’s the solar panels on the roof top that has caught my eye. Designed by Waskman design studio and Culdesac, this eco-friendly caravan is currently playing the role of a holiday mobile-home for blogger Marcos Morales and his family in Spain. Fitted with solar panels, a water tank, wireless phones and even internet connectivity on the go, this van is ideal for any geeky nomad with some eco-sense too. I am sure the solar roof will soak in enough sun to keep the home illuminated and power up all the gadgets too. Roll over to see the video……..

The multi-level vehicle is made of white polyethylene panels and transparent polycarbonate. It moves about the county on a patrol four-wheel-drive vehicle. Sized at 6 meters lengthwise and 2.5 meters widthwise, it stands high at 3.85 meters. The lush interiors accommodate a living room and kitchen on the lower level. While the upper level is roomy enough to cozy up in the well furnished open bedroom. One thing that is missing in this eco-house on wheels is the blinds that can keep the sun out when not needed and also render some privacy!
