I do not know anything about production, but people have made trikes before. If I end up making one Paulio doesn't have any excuses.

Wouldn't disconsider getting a vehicle similar to the one featured on this video, even though would be tempted to either modify its stock engine or to fit other one out of a modern 250cc motorcycle in order to make it highway-capable.

IIRC there was a trucklet version of those. Not impossible to do it, and maybe if the camper features a genset there would be not too much range anxiety to bother a more conservative user. |

That's just the generic set of tags for everything on the internet nowadays, because they're the most likely tags to be accurate.
