It May Look like an Ordinary Trailer but It Transforms into the Ultimate Camper

If Apple ever decided to design a mobile urban camper, it would probably look a lot like the following urban camper. It was actually designed in 1985 by Eduard Bohtlingk and is named ‘The Marquis’.

It is a very small trailer when its awnings are closed but when the walls of the trailer are opened, it reveals nearly 3 times more floorspace and almost turns into a tiny house. This and many other trailers are displayed in Amsterdam at The Urban Campsite, a yearly exposition of unique mobile campers that runs for 6 weeks between August and September. Guests can reserve to stay in any of the campers that are on display.

It may look like an ordinary trailer when closed but it opens up like an accordion.
