Fahrrad (bicycle) Wohnwagen (caravan/camper) Treffen (meeting) 2021
I thought that many on this forum would be interested in this but I hadn't seen any other mention of it.

In the last 1-2 years, the bicycle camper trailer community has just exploded in Germany. New builders are joining Youtube every week. It has become so popular, that they just had their first meet-up camp on 9/11/21. It's a bunch of mostly older guys with ebikes building mini caravans. This is a subject I have interested in for long time.
FYI - On some versions of Youtube, you can turn on Closed Captions and have it Auto-Translate. It does a terrible job but it is better than nothing.

Although there have been several others; Paul Elkins is considered by most to be the OG

First there was his Burning Man trailer and lot experiments Coroplast structures. Then in 2015 he built this:

Builders still pay homage to him and many like the look and aerodynamics of his design.

In December of 2019 he started working on this:

I found him when my search for “Bike Camper” came up with an English version

It’s got a bed, stove, refrigerator, heater, lighting, entertainment and a couple hundred watts of solar

Since then more and more German Youtubers are showing up with there own builds. So many, they decided to have a meet-up and during a group ride, they stretched for more than a quarter mile. It’s been hard because I don’t speak German but I didn’t need any translation when I watched Rene sitting next to his trailer watching his dog run around the shore of the lake. He reaches in to his refrigerator, pulls out a cold beer and toasts the sunset.

Auto-Translating sucks but it helps.
