Sealander Amphibious Camping Trailer
Sealander
You don’t have to decide between a weekend getaway spent at a relaxing campsite or cruising around a lake with the Sealander. Or at least, you no longer have to bring both a canoe and a camping trailer since the Sealander, created by industrial designer Daniel Straub, actually floats on water. Its wide, bowl-shaped design not only provides stability while floating, but it can easily navigate shallow waters without running aground. It also means you don’t need a trailer or a boat launch to get it in the water. Backing it up to a sufficiently cleared shoreline should be more than enough. (Pics)

Berlin’s Hüttenpalast – Cool Camping Hotel Where Guests Sleep in Refurbished Campers
Hüttenpalast
Want a great concept for a new hotel? Just convert an old, unused vacuum factory space into a budget boutique hotel. And even better, use refurbished mobile campers for rooms. Berlin’s new and attractive Hüttenpalast (that’s German for “hut palace”) has done just that. It is in the beautiful old workers’ quarter of Neukölln: allowing guests to experience the cozy camping feeling, without the bugs and in the middle of a vibrant city. But it’s not exactly ‘roughing it’ in the solitary sense. The caravans are beautifully remodeled. The bathrooms are “luxurious”. And guests can socialize with each other without the rowdiness usually associated with cheap hostels. (Pics)

Fridge That Cools With Fire
A research team at Stanford has developed a refrigeration device the size of a thermos. What’s interesting is that it uses no electricity. Zip. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Instead, it contains some kind of coolant that becomes cold when it’s exposed to heat.
