DoubleBack

A Welsh company has unveiled an amazing, extendable pod that slides out from the back of a VW Transporter. Cardiff-based DoubleBack says its creation represents the first true innovation in the camper market since the advent of the elevating roof over thirty years ago. The pod slides electrically from the back of the Transporter to a length of around two metres, stabilised by two extendable, self-levelling legs.And because it's engineered with the original tailgate, which remains fully functional, it sits flush at the rear of the Transporter when not in use.Folding out in 45 seconds, it extends the vehicle to 25ft in total, and can support up to 600kg. The price of a DoubleBack Transporter is £54,995, which is £25,000 or so more than the standard VW T5 2.0 TDI LWB van it's based on.
