For only $87,000, you can get out of that tent and camp in style this summer.

The iconic VW camper van paved the way for the modern motorhome, but they were barely big enough for a couple of hippies…The DoubleBack represents the first true innovation in the market since the advent of the elevating roof over thirty years ago.

When on the road, the pod stays tucked up inside the back of the vehicle. Once the driver stops and decides they’d like to settle down someplace… a sliding insulated pod electrically extends out of the rear in less than 45 seconds, adding approximately two meters (6.5 feet) of useable interior space. Two legs also fold out from the bottom of the pod, which allow it to support up 600 kilograms (1,323 lbs), and to self-level on uneven terrain.

The interior of the pod is equipped with a large bed, but it can be folded down so the space can be also used for other activities.
