I agree with the small sports SUV ideas, but when I think of making something like this, I want it to be zombie apocalypse proof.

Solar power trailer: Part 1 by Jeffrey Yago, P.E., CEM

PArt one of a solar powered trailer. I invision a Toyota 4Runner/Tacoma, switched to a standard gearbox with extra efficient final drive- and this attached to it. Possibly, even just a 4Runner/Tacoma made into a camper with this, and eventually the trailer. Can be kind of eco modded, while being a traveling hotel!

Edit: I know S in SUV means sports, but now SUVs usually mean giant and gaudy, while a SPORTS SUV, to me, means lighter, lower, more compact- Early Pathfinders, 4Runners, so on. I didn't mean it like, whats your VIN Number? Or, where can I find an ATM Machine? Face palm
