Each year the world’s biggest and most innovative camper manufacturers descend on Düsseldorf, Germany, to show the latest and greatest in vans, RVs, travel trailers, and more in the Düsseldorf Caravan show. Volkswagen is expected to debut a new camper at Düsseldorf which would create excitement among the campers. Düsseldorf show offers a platform to display never before seen concept designs that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
The latest camper that will debut at the show is the Lume Traveler. Made in the Netherlands, this boxy travel trailer features a sleek aluminium shell broken up by a few windows and a side door. The sleek aluminium chassis works on keeping the body lighter so that the campers can accommodate more stuff inside. The most unique part of the Lume Traveler is however, its convertible roof which will offer a panoramic view of the night sky once the soft-top fabric is pulled away.
The Lume Traveler’s extra larger moon roof uses Sunbrella fabric that stretches across most of the roof. There’s also a built-in screen to keep bugs out. The convertible roof sits above an adjustable double bed, and the high-design interior of the trailer features teak flooring, a leather rear wall, and options for a 32-inch flat screen TV and Bose audio system.
The Lume Traveler’s kitchen is outside, accessed from a rear hatch like a teardrop trailer. A 100-watt solar panel powers the amenities inside, and the whole package sits on a Knott chassis and 15-inch wheels. Because of the aluminium body, the trailer is lightweight at about 2,200 pounds.
Overall, the Lume Traveler is a modern take on what a travel trailer can be: lightweight, sleek, comfortable, and well-designed. The security and durability of an aluminium trailer has been given an extra edge with the convertible roof, which provides the appeal of an open tent.
