In 1959, the British Southbourne Sheet Metal Company launched the Mini-Motel camper trailer. Weighing 447 lbs (approx. 203 kg) and made of fiberglass, it was light enough to be towed by a Vespa or Lambretta scooter. The project was not a commercial success but remains a notable example of an ultra-lightweight design.
