Here’s a Pod-Like Camper That Triples in Size in Just 60 Seconds

And yes, you can have it in the United States.

Beauer is a fresh face in the RV world. It got its start in 2009 when engineer Eric Beau wanted a bigger camping trailer that looked like something from the 1960s. He didn’t find any that fit the bill, so he got to work making his own. The result is something pretty far out.
