# Living in Small Places Pod Caravans By rentalculture | Published 2006-09-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-in-small-places-pod-caravans References: [rentalculture](http://www.rentalculture.com) & [podcaravans](http://www.podcaravans.com) It's a small world after all! The Pod Caravan is a [small living unit for two](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specops-crashpad-camper) and can be towed by the likes of a Mini. These [teardrop shaped trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiker-highway-lite) are manufactured in England and can be custom built in colour or finish. Don't sweat it if you can't afford the 2,550.00 to 2,900.00 price range (in pounds) because you can easily rent it for a special function or vacation. Now that's what I would call a fun ride!
