CONCEPT
The very first caravan developed
by the founder, Giovanbattista
Moscardini, was simply called
“Laika 500”. The caravan — rolling
in a futuristic style — was imme-
diately able to make a name for
itself with two special features: The
upper part of the caravan could
be lowered while driving due to a
telescopic mechanism. Firstly, this
ensured better aerodynamics and
greater driving comfort, and sec-
ondly, it also meant that less power
was needed to pull the vehicle.
Strictly speaking, Moscardini had
planned that his first caravan could
be towed by a small car from the
outset — the then hip Fiat Nuova
500. The model name ‘Laika 500’ is
proudly derived from this.
