Australian pop-out camper that is full of well-thought-out features

The Aussies have a great new Camper product on their hands. The fact that this entire unit can be set on the stands and the truck removed it provides the luxury of a trailer styled camping without dragging a trailer and when you have your camp set up you still have a vehicle to use without the need to tear everything down.

Australian pop-out camper that is full of well-thought-out features

Here's a slow, gentle, fascinating demonstration video for the Wedgetail slide-on camper, "built for rough Australian terrain." It's a pretty amazing feat of engineering, with lots of thoughtful features. But what really gets me is in the money shot where the whole thing opens up like some kind of origami trick. Big things hidden in little things! Hell yeah!
