We won't say that it's a new trend, since man has been constructing lightweight road trip shelters for nearly as long as he's had an automobile to tow them, but some interesting ideas and designs have definitely been bubbling to the surface lately. The Mogo Freedom trailer is the latest member of this rising tide, opening the walls of camping trailer design to create a super-simple, ultra-versatile shelter and toy hauler. <a href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/mogo-freedom-gullwing-trailer/36270/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="36482"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/automotive/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">AUTOMOTIVE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/nanoflowcell-quant-f-quantino/36482/">Nanoflowcell gives alternative energy some sexy flow with Quant F and Quantino</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/">C.C.

While families with children make up a key demographic of the RV industry, that industry focuses its design and features overwhelmingly on adults. Features like illuminated wine cabinets and slide-out espresso machines do little to make the trip better for junior (though we guess they do keep mom and dad jovial). Sure the adults are the ones buying the RV, but as any parent knows, keeping the little ones happy during the trip is priority number one. The CaraKids motorhome and caravan design studies from Weinsberg were constructed from start to finish with children in mind, and they feature a number of smart details that promise to make RV camping more fun and convenient for the smallest campers and, thereby, the adults, too. <a href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/weinsburg-carakids-concept-campers/36293/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="36155"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/marine/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">MARINE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/kleppers-solar-powered-e-kayak/36155/">Klepper's solar-powered E-Kayak gives your arms a rest</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20150317005743/http://www.gizmag.com/author/cc-weiss/">C.C.
