If you want to visit Iceland in style, you need to check out this Mink Camper. You know, to have something to put on your bucket list.
This is just a camper but look at the style and functionality it has got to offer. It looks like a little submarine on wheels combined with the minimalism of Scandinavian style. That alone is enough to get us excited.
Mink has a queen size bed tucked inside. There you can sleep, nap, or watch the stars through a glass roof. It has an open-air kitchen at the back with plenty of storage space and a gas burner.
You wouldn’t want to feel completely torn off from the civilization, so Mink has that covered as well.
The camper comes with Wi-Fi, a sound system, and a charging station powered by solar panels. For colder nights, the insulated camper has a thermostat to make sure a cold doesn’t stop you from exploring.
Excited? Then all you need to do is to start planning your next trip to Iceland. The camper is available for rent along with a 4×4 car in which you can explore the beautiful nature of Iceland.
Welcome to the original designers of the Mink Camper! The story of the Mink Camper began when Jordi Hans Design was approached by a client in Iceland interested in designing a romantic, yet updated version of the classic teardrop camper for touring through the wild Icelandic countryside. Our vision as designers was to take the traditional style and elevate it to a functional, yet a luxurious piece that could handle the unpredictable terrain in Iceland.
So how did we design this idea into the Mink Camper that exists today? Several things were clear – and one of them was to take the original square edges of a camper and give it a soft, rounded curve instead to add a more natural look. The foundation of the trailer shape was inspired by the beak of a toucan bird to create something flamboyant and exuberant which would add a feel of luxury and style. In fact, in the beginning, the Mink was actually called the Mini-Toucan. It was later changed to Mink Campers to represent the mink animal native to Iceland.
Our engineering team has developed the complete technical design and analyzed, tested and evaluated all parts and components in order to be able to produce the final product in collaboration with the producers.
The Mink’s body is secured by a steel chassis and has 15-inch alloy wheels supported by a leaf-spring suspension. The trailer measures 8.9 feet (270 cm) in length, stands about a foot (30 cm) over the ground below and weighs in around 1,100-lb (500-kg).
