Those caravan insurance policyholders bothered by their vehicle swaying, or 'snaking' when driving at high speeds may be interested in a new mobile home said to eliminate the problem.

Designers of the CarCamp have created a specially fitted housing unit, which can be joined to a standard Opel Astra.

What is innovative about the design is that caravan firm Heku has attached the unit using two tow bars on the side with an extra snug fit.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, this feature results in a more aerodynamic shape, offering more stability and the ability to drive at speeds of 75mph.

Owners can therefore avoid causing traffic jams or using too much fuel, two problems commonly associated with caravanning.

The manufacturer says the caravan's handling is similar to that of a large sedan and as the unit is not welded to the car, just removing a few screws can detach it.

The CarCamp is available in arrange of different configurations, from 5m to 6.65m, with prices starting at €45,480 (£41,231).
