Bike campers have been as soon as novelties, usually thrown collectively as easy DIY affairs, however latest fashions are bringing a brand new degree of high quality and professionalism to those quirky trailers. The Finnish-designed Hupi trailer is the newest providing to showcase a surprisingly high-end design.

Not like the extra frequent teardrop-style bike campers, the Hupi camper provides a taller design for extra headroom.

Developed by inventor Urpo “Upi” Merranmaa, the camper isn’t fairly tall sufficient to face up, however it lets customers sit at full peak at a mini-desk constructed proper into the wall.

That mini desk and workstation can be a part of the dinette, which is straight throughout from the bed room. Or half of the bed room, because the folding mattress collapses out of the best way when not in use. When the celebrities come out and the eyelids get heavy, the mattress folds again out to take up the whole inside house.

The Hupi camper weighs round 150 lb (70 kg) and was designed to be pulled by an e-bike, not a typical pedal bike. It might be accomplished by leg energy alone, however any uphill stretches are going to change into a gradual slog. To assist maintain the e-bike charged up, an non-compulsory electrical system could be put in within the RV. It consists of as much as 250W of roof-mounted photo voltaic panels, in addition to an onboard battery and an inverter to energy on-board electronics like inside/exterior lighting and a micro-fridge. The photo voltaic panels also can present energy to cost the e-bike’s battery throughout stops.

For anybody desirous to max out the accent checklist, a completely decked out camper trailer can embody a propane range, a conveyable grill, a skylight for stargazing, and even a TV.

What does one thing like this value? It isn’t low-cost, beginning at round €5,990 (roughly $6,700 USD). In case you don’t have an e-bike to drag the trailer, then the corporate is comfortable to promote you one, too (full with pre-installed tow hitch, after all!).

These searching for a less expensive choice than this shall be hard-pressed to search out one.

There are different e-bike campers and bicycle-towed tear drop trailers, however many have been both one off productions or haven’t but made it to full manufacturing.
