It is time to do something totally different.
We’re not sure what to make of this bizarre new idea from . This is both the name and concept. We’ll just say it. Both are attention-getters. In this business, so long as you aren’t street racing customer cars, or engaging in sketchy activities on emissions testing_, it is often a good thing to get attention.
You know what? It’s not enough to call something a Hippie Caviar Hotel. Demands it. This is all so confusing. Renault seems to have a plan for a cool campervan that will be released in the near future. At least, it is in concept form. The name is true, but don’t let it fool you – this Renault Trafic van is equipped with both typical and unusual adventure gear for camping holidays. This is assuming your camping holiday includes drone delivery concierge while you enjoy the rooftop terrace.
This teaser is not a complete look at Renault’s idea of a Hippie Caviar hotel, but Renault tells us that it’s based upon a five-star luxury hotel experience. Expect soft colors and exotic woods, as well as swanky materials. Renault claims that Japanese paper-effect “washi”, paints are part the formula. And yes, there is a roof terrace. It’s made up of a coffee table and removable backrests. Accessible via a ladder.
The ground floor sounds quite impressive by itself, so you might not want to climb. The bench seat can be converted into a bed and placed inside or outside of the van. It’s covered with draperies to provide privacy. The most striking feature of Hippie Caviar Hotel’s Hippie Caviar Hotel, however, is not connected to the van. It’s actually a large “logistics container” van owners can use to have delivered to their destinations. It has a bathroom and batteries for electricity. Although it may sound impossible to use for camping, it is possible.
Renault will unveil the Hippie Caviar Hotel during the 2021 Caravan Salon, Dusseldorf. It opens August 27. Although the idea may seem wild, it is a preview of Renault’s more practical plans to unveil a series of vans that are more targeted in 2022, which coincides with the arrival of electric Trafic.
