It also rotates 360 degrees with the sun and wind to generate its own electricity. Feast your eyes on the coolest camper of the future. French company Green Cat Technologies has debuted the sCarabane, an innovative home on wheels.. Before After Not only can the 26-foot-long trailer unfold into a 420-square-foot tiny home in 30 minutes flat, but it also rotates to follow the sun or wind (or wherever you direct it), collecting energy so it's almost completely self-sufficient.
