The world's 'most advanced caravan' has the ability park itself even in tight spaces.

Caravan holidays, once a bit out of fashion, are enjoying a comeback thanks to Covid staycations and the rise of the motorhome. Where once the idea of a weekend away with the family cooped up in a tin can playing cards and arguing as rain lashes down on the roof may've been off putting, now it's all the rage.

If you love the idea of being in incredibly close proximity with your relatives but like a little luxury, then look no further than what is being marketed as 'the world's most advanced caravan'.

This compact home on wheels is ideal for trips to campsites across the UK or further afield, and comes with luxury features like a full-sized shower so you can warm yourself after a biting day in the British countryside without having to be a contortionist.

The caravan-style trailer home also has wraparound windows, so you can enjoy the view as you travel. The Pebble Flow EV is fully electric and can be charged at public charging points, from a home callbox, or via campsite sockets. It also has a 1kW solar panel system that charges the caravan when it's parked. And if you're holidaying during a heatwave, you'll appreciate the air conditioning throughout.

The new design includes an iPhone control that lets you manage your home through your mobile. You can use the Pebble Flow app to adjust cabin temperatures, lights, door locks and even change driving modes. According to Pebble, drivers can instruct the caravan to park itself into tight spaces, eliminating the struggle of squeezing in. The caravan also features a "magic hitch" that automatically attaches the EV to your car or truck.

The InstaCamp function allows you to automatically deploy the stairs, awning, stabilisers for uneven terrain and parking brakes. This means you'll be set up at your campsite without lifting a finger. The 25-foot trailer EV boasts a luxury interior for stylish camping. It comes with a Queen-sized bed, a flip-down desk, a fully equipped kitchen and a microwave. The sleek and clean interior design makes it look like a fancy studio apartment.

The California-based Pebble company claims it will be the "most technically advanced travel trailer on the market". The Pebble Flow costs £90,000, or £100,000 if you want the Magic Pack that includes all the smart features.

The app is currently only available for iPhone users, but an android version is in the pipeline. The Pebble Flow is set to hit the market by the end of 2024, meaning you could be enjoying a lovely staycation in your own caravan from next year. Visit pebblelife.com for more info.
