# Compact Condo Trailers The New Safari Condo Trailers are Elegant and Economical By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-03-19 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safari-condo References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/alto-teardrop-trailer-safari-condo/31178/pictures) & [safaricondo](http://www.safaricondo.com/en/) The teardrop-shaped design in trailers looked to be a thing of the past, but it has been making a comeback in recent times as best exemplified by the new Safari Condo recreational campers. The Alto R 1713 and R 1723 are intended as a more economical alternative to larger caravan-style campers. Both models are impressively lightweight, weighing 763 and 782 kg respectively, and can comfortably house up to four people. They boast an aerodynamic shape for easy towing. A retractable roof offers superior interior space compared to smaller traditional teardrop trailers, and bathe the interior space with natural light. These interiors feature two sleeping areas, a smart kitchen, a dining area, a flush toilet and tons of storage space. The trailers can be further upgraded with optional rooftop solar panels, heat pumps and air-conditioning. The Safari Condo trailer models will go for between $23,000 and $29,500, depending on optional upgrades. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Trailers:** There is a growing trend of compact trailers, such as the Safari Condo models, that offer a more economical alternative to larger caravan-style campers. - **Teardrop Design:** The teardrop-shaped design in trailers is making a comeback, as seen in the elegant and lightweight Safari Condo trailers. - **Multi-functional Interiors:** There is a trend towards trailers with smart and multi-functional interiors, like the Safari Condo models, that maximize space and offer various amenities for a comfortable camping experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Recreational Vehicles:** The recreational vehicle industry can explore the market potential of compact trailers, like the Safari Condo models, to cater to the demand for more affordable and space-efficient camper options. - **Camping Equipment:** The camping equipment industry can capitalize on the trend of teardrop design trailers, such as the Safari Condo models, by offering complementary products and accessories. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can tap into the trend of compact trailers, like the Safari Condo models, by providing innovative solutions such as rooftop solar panels that can enhance sustainability while on the road. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Camper Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rei-coop-special-edition-basecamp-16.md) - [Lightweight Towable Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-camping-trailer.md) - [Origami-Like Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forma-campers.md) - [Semi-Teardrop Compact Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highway-lite-trailer.md) - [Extra-Tall Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bend-teardrop-tall-boy-trailer.md) - [High-Efficiency Layout Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcabin-300.md) - [Capacious Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capacious-camping-trailers.md) - [Pop-Up Off-Road Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roc-trailers-ald09.md) - [Efficient Micro Living Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerocabin-one.md)
