A new environmentally friendly caravan has been unveiled at the International Caravan an Motorhome in Birmingham this week.

The Ecostream is said to be the most eco-friendly and sustainable caravan on the market.  It was designed and constructed by ex-Top Gear presenter Steve Berry and expert Tighe Grainger after being challenged by the Caravan Club to construct a caravan of these characteristics.

Steve Berry said: “This has been a unique, absorbing and, at times, tiring, challenge.  I’ve learnt a lot about alternative technologies and met some great people who manage to combine a strong interest in design and engineering with a passionate concern for the environment.  If I’ve learnt one thing, it’s that you can be a petrol-head and a tree-hugger!”

And Bob Wheeler, Chief Executive Officer of the Airstream Inc, added: “Airstream is proud to have contributed to this visionary project inspired by The Caravan Club.  Although our commitment to sustainable design is unparalleled in our industry, this kind of experiment can show us all a way toward caravans that tread more lightly on the planet.”
