Cabineer Creates Innovative and Sustainable Camping Cabins for Pick-Ups

The Cabineer also has a focus on accessibility

German engineering company Cabineer has been on a mission to create innovative and sustainable camping cabins for pick-ups. Their 2022 model certainly looks to tick both boxes.

Built to fit most double cab pick-up trucks, the Cabineer truck bed camper is made out of an NFC product. This natural fiber composite consists of flax-fiber, cork, linseed resin, and treated, non-toxic plastics.

The result is a solid, lightweight molding that is also incredibly environmentally friendly in its production and at the end of its life.

The Cabineer also has a focus on accessibility. The fridge, kitchen stove, and cabinetry are accessible from both the inside and outside of the camper, with the rear doors swinging outwards.

That's how owners of the Cabineer prefer to use their camper – a mixture of indoor-outdoor functionality.

the Cabineer sleeps three adults or two adults and two children

Inside, the Cabineer sleeps three adults or two adults and two children in the convertible dinette bed and expandable roof level.

There's no indoor shower, and you will have to settle for a porta-potty-style situation. Still, the kitchen faucet can be relocated outside to act as an outdoor shower.

A fully-upgraded Cabineer features a 100-Ah lithium battery connected to two 100-W solar panels, a water heater, and a cabin heater with an altitude kit.

At the moment, you're only going to be able to pick up a Cabineer if you're in Europe with showrooms in Germany.

What's your preference when it comes to showering while camping?

Is an indoor, heated shower a non-negotiable inclusion for you? Let us know in the comments!
