Thomas Burick designs the new micro teardrop trailer dubbed the Roam in Roam that is compatible with his retro Vespa from 1962. It is made from foam, as referenced in its namesake, and then is complete with a sheet of homemade fiberglass.
It is a towable design that is made in collaboration with YouTuber and trailer maker known as The L Wood by Lucy. The influence behind trailer is based on a 1947 Cabin Car trailer that is made to function as a place to sleep with a functional kitchenette. This includes plenty of storage space that is aided by the range of cabinets and shelves hidden by sliding doors. The shape of the trailer is arched to allow for headspace and overall stability.
