Re: NEW VW DOUBLEBACK CAMPER, made in (put together) in UK
To see the appeal of this design, you have to consider its market and audience. Europeans tend to take long vacations, often driving their campervans to a destination and then basically leaving them parked for a week or more (using public transport or simply staying put at the destination). In any European campground you are likely to see campervans set up with side and rear tents, etc., like a basecamp. Plus, parking is often an issue at their home location and people also may only own one vehicle (hence the popularity of the VW Westfalias. So, I could see people buying this an alternative to a larger motorhome or trailer, but using it in the same way.
That being said, this design doesn't really do too much for me. That long slide looks like it's just waiting to get stuck open or halfway open. It's cool, and a neat engineering concept, but I wouldn't buy one.
