The fact of the matter is that few of the people who embark on RV adventures are haters of nature. Heather's Compact Caravan has hence been designed with a minimalist interior, based on the expectation that little time would be spent inside.
This supposition is based on the research that the creator did, looking specifically at how young couple -- occasionally with their young kids -- interact with their trailers. It was found that they were largely places to cook and sleep, rendering many of the common motor home luxuries as simply a waste of space and weight.
Heather's Compact Caravan is small and streamlined for the easiest possible towing. Its fancy accessories include an awning, a covered deck and a mosquito net, all to enhance outdoor activities.
