Developed in Germany, a portable shelter for camping or trailer travel looks like a gigantic orange––and peels apart almost like one. The parts of the shelter are shaped much like the segments of an orange peel. One person can fasten the segments together to complete the shelter in 15 minutes.
The parts of the shelter including the floor are made of plywood. When the shelter is disassembled, the parts can be stacked on a small trailer for the trip to the next camping site. The collapsible house has two windows and a door.
In 1955, the “orange house” was sold for about $150 (about $1700 today).
