When design, functionality and technology meet, things like the Hardsider camper are born. This novelty in the world of pickup campers stands out for its unique approach: a design reminiscent of the art of origami and cutting-edge materials that guarantee resistance and lightness. Very curious.
Innovation and style
Hardsider is the result of years of research and development, with a particular focus on performance and durability. Its 5cm aluminum frame, originally developed for the US Department of Defense, offers a solid and reliable base for the most daring adventures.
The Hardsider's defining feature is its system of folding walls, which open and close in one fluid motion, evoking the art of origami. Ingenious and also handsome.
Origami camper: two more words on the characteristics
Let's put aside its external appearance for a moment (which you can see very well in the photos): let's also take a look inside this little thing. Equipped with both internal and external LED lighting, this “origami” camper offers a bright and welcoming environment.
The composite walls with honeycomb structure are covered in ballistic nylon, which guarantees superior resistance and R22 level thermal insulation, ideal for all climate conditions.
The interior design allows you to customize the space to each traveler's specific needs: a minimalist setup? A fancier one with side benches and shelving units? Travel Origami offers a wide range of layout options. I just don't understand if we can go there for a trip or a war.
Today and tomorrow
In the era of ubiquitous connectivity, Hardsider adapts with an ad hoc solution: the preparation for Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet. This feature makes the camper ideal for digital nomads, who can stay connected even in the most remote locations. Furthermore, the external anchoring rails allow you to easily add accessories such as off-road lights and awnings, making the camper even more functional.
Currently in the prototype phase, Hardsiders it is scheduled for production in 2024, with an estimated price between $15.000 and $30.000. Its compatibility with a wide range of pickup models, including electric ones, along with its base weight of approximately 204kg, makes it an affordable and viable choice for many camping and adventure enthusiasts.
I know what you're thinking now. You're thinking "all that's missing is the pickup". Gear up, dammit: I can't do everything here.
