Today, we’ll be looking at a Volkswagon truck-bed camper that transforms
into a mini-cabin. Let’s get to it!

Thank you for watching Mind's Eye Design!
When looking at campers designed for truck beds, you usually get one of two outcomes.
A large bulky boulder of a mechanism that weighs your truck down and bulges out the sides
or a shell with some willowy interior fabrics. No matter what, you are making sacrifices.
However, not everyone likes the same things, and that’s where the Flip90 comes in. From
the German-based company called Queensize Camper in collaboration with ICC Offroad,
the Flip90 tries to do something just a little differently.
The days of choice are upon us, and there are many options in nearly every aspect of commercialism
nowadays. You can have your cake and eat it too. You can have your compact, lightweight truck-bed
camper and a larger walled environment for lounging, sleeping, cooking, or relief too.
Weighing in at as little as 550 pounds depending on the equipment,
the Flip90 is easily one of the lightest truck-bed campers we’ve covered.
But that isn’t what makes this viridian vacation so memorable. Its transformation
capabilities are. It’s as simple as pushing a single button, and the Flip90 flips open 90
degrees presenting a hospitable hotelier for two! And the transition back is just as easy.
While in driving mode, the whole package measures roughly 7.5 feet tall and has a low center of
gravity, so you can drive with a little more assurance. Because of its low-profile form
while in drive mode, the whole truck and camper can be shipped in a container.
While converted, a doorway leads to a new interior room, which can function as
a washroom or bathroom. However, there doesn’t appear to be a drain on the floor,
so you’ll need another method of containing the water, a shower pan could do the trick.
The Flip90 doesn’t come with a toilet, but the walled interior is perfect for a portable
one of your own. There is no tent fabric here, and the Flip90 is insulated to boot. The extra
room could even be used for secondary living space if you so choose to use it as such.
The stationary half of this lime-colored live-in
houses the near-queen-sized bed, which can be adjusted into a sofa.
When stretched out into a sleeping space, it sits atop the kitchen spread.
The kitchen is simply a driver-side slide-out with a gas ceramic cooktop with a gas box, and a sink
with a 5-gallon water tank hooked up to it. It should be noted that the shower hookup attaches
to the same water tank as the sink. Opposite the slide-out is a nearly 12-gallon compressor fridge
with a nearly 20-gallon freshwater tank placed just in front of the rear-wheel axle.
A smaller but relevant advantage of the flip-top style of camper that Queensize
Camper and ICC Offroad deliver. Is that you can easily access whatever
you had strapped to the top of it when it flips open.
A truck-bed camper with a washroom, kitchen, bed, and extra space without a large bulky mess to
maneuver is not easily found. If you’re interested in the Flip90, you can get one yourself for around
$34,800 or $26,575 if you just want the shell without the kitchen, bed, and shower hookup.
There is also an option for a Flip90 off-road trailer for
those that prefer a more traditional method of making camp in comfort.
There is nothing wrong with those types of campers if that’s what you’re looking for.
Just take a look at the Solo 01,
which packs all the necessities of a caravan into a bulky mobility camper.
Since its conception, though, it has evolved into something a bit more livable,
made from recyclable metals from buses.

initially conceived to provide portable housing in India.
Suppose you’re interested in an innovative take on the slide-out kitchen.
In that case, the SylvanSport Vast Adventure Travel Trailer
has one that you can use indoors or out.
Just click the card in the top right corner or the link in the description, and you can see how
the dining room and sleeping arrangement work by converting while on the road or set up for camp!
Here’s a hint; double queen-size beds.
