Along the main road of Alivieska, the player may spot a red Pölsa pulling a caravan traveling in a clockwise direction, along the inner lane. As is with any other Pölsa, the pulling car is based on a Saab 900 sedan, while the caravan-trailer hitched to the car is based on a Finnish-made Solifer 550 Jubilee caravan.

The caravan may disconnect from the Pölsa at turns in the road, potentially causing a crash.

Trivia

• The caravan's ability to detach on its own was not originally implemented by ToplessGun in the test branch, but later was in the release to the stable branch due to community feedback demanding a new way to die.
• The driver of the caravan Pölsa owes much of his look to the sewage guy.
• The presence of the caravan Pölsa is a nod to the ubiquity of Saabs pulling Solifers in Finnish traffic during the 1980s and 1990s.
  • This reference is also loosely connected to an entry of the Red Bull Mäkiauto GP hill car race held in August 2019 at Tähtitorninmäki, Helsinki, which humorously depicted a runaway Solifer rolling backwards downhill with a helpless Saab 900 in tow.
