Tuk tucked up in bed: The one-man camper van that is perfect for the lonely traveller

Vehicle contains fold-up bed, sink, kitchen, running water and fridge

Design based on Piaggio scooter and is similar to tuk-tuk rickshaws



Travelling long journeys all by your lonesome can be a chore paved with uncomfortable motels and bad service station food.

Single camping often means sleeping in the back of the car, or going to through the effort of putting up a tent by the side of the road.

One designer’s dream of ending the pain for lone campers has resulted in the Buffalino, a three-wheel mini-van similar to tuk-tuk rickshaws which are seen across Asia and Africa.

Happy camper: The camper is designed to meet the single travellers requirements and comes with a complete kitchen and bedroom

Cowboy ready: Dubbed as 'economic and fuel efficient' the van, named 'Buffalino', is perfect for the lonely rider

Multitasking: The Buffalino motto is to be cheap and efficient and leave as little of a carbon emissions imprint as possible

Smart-an: It may not come with a jacuzzi but it has all you need, even if you technically sleep in the kitchen Take a seat: When it comes to dinner time, the driver's seat - which also makes up half the bed - simply swings into the kitchen

Room for one: Designer Cornelius Cormanns wanted to provide greater flexibility for the single traveller when he designed the three-wheeled camper van Traditional: Television vet Luke Gamble seen using a tuk-tuk taxi
