Every time I see something from "Down Under" I have to say to myself how these guys got it right and manufacturers here just don't. The Aussie rigs from this one to the more extreme off road ones so much more ahead of the curve than what we see here in the states.

This one, a great pop up if I ever saw one!

That is a European built camper, NOT Australian. Ugly IMHO.

Cool video from suggested links from the link for the Opera.

Hmmm, Beautifull to look at. BUT, I don't think it's very practical.
1. it looks big, kind of like a conestoga wagon.
2. twin beds? most of us have queens in our trailers
3. how much will it cost to replace the tent when it gets torn? which is just a matter of time.
I'll stick with a tear.

just my opinion.

I don't think that it is ugly but looks like a lot of trouble for a pop-up.

I did like the actuator wheel chock in the video of them taking it down.

it would have to cost a small fortune to build I would think.

One really clever feature is the way they use the flexibility of the support frames/bows to allow two slide-outs to be used - superb lateral thinking.

It's from the Netherlands and looks to be ideal trailer for a warm, not overly hot, climate - us northern Yurpeens tend to want to make the most of any sun as we don't naturally get that much of it.

Uhgg, I'd hate to have to take that down in the rain. Everything inside would be soaked. Better hope you can open it up to dry when you get home or it will be full of mold.

Beautiful design, not practical, got to be too expensive...but...some great starter ideas for slide outs and popups on a small TTT or tear shape. Still trying to get a tear sized towable that becomes a TTT sized camper on site.

Gotta put on the thinking cap and design something "outside the box"!

Kinda makes that tent trailer from Costco look like a great bargain.
