Top Gear has had, it"s fair to say, a fraught relationship with the caravan community in the past. And sure, it may have been a little harsh to use them for playing conkers, or playing darts, or squashing Morris Marinas. But is that really any worse than letting them clog up summer roads faster than their owners clog up the waste chute? If we were to extend an olive branch to the caravan community, bury the hatchet, and embrace the strange hobby of hooking up a miniature shed to the back of your car and towing it behind a set of preposterous door mirrors, then this might be the craft to turn our heads. Welcome to the Bowlus Road Chief. With that name, it"s already off to a good start. Don"t look directly at it. You"ll probably go blind, thanks to an aircraft-grade aluminium (no, not ah-loo-min-um, Americans) skin that"s hand-polished for hours to give the extreme sheen. Why? So, when you"re parked up in the wilderness, the Bowlus reflects the landscape around it, instead of sticking out like a big white blob. The wheels are painted black so the whole thing looks like it"s hovering, as if Luke Skywalker"s off on his holidays.
