Everything seems to come in a box and there isn't too much creativity going into campers. A box top may go up, it may fold out one time, tents are in a box and there are slide outs. All the basic ideas have been around for decades, some for centuries. That clam shell from down under almost gets to a more creative approach.
Why don't campers slide out from the rear, drop down to the ground with a fold out or up enclosure?
Why don't things expand upward, then fold out above the vehicle?
Why aren't there inflatable enclosures or part of an enclosure that can be inflated up or out?
Speaking of inflatable, why aren't there small cabin pods that could have inflatable pontoons or detachable amas (pomtoons) making a catamaran? Check out a boat named "Little Cindy".
Why can't a shelter deploy like an accordion with framing that slides our of a truck or trailer?
Why can't a box fold out in three directions and have a solid roof or expandable tentage?
Why can't a larger Ute shelter or a teepee come out of a truck?
In the Army we had expandable vans (5 tons) that folded and slid out on both sides, why is no one incorporating this old design that's proven and used for decades?
Why can't kitchens in a trailer slide out or swing out for outdoor cooking as well as cooking inside?
Why aren't trailers or truck pods not deigned with a section that could be dropped off for a base camp and keep another part with the vehicle, like sleeping quarters but dropping off the kitchen and bath and living space for the base camp? You don't need to haul everything around all the time.
Where are the trailers for larger adventure bikes and how do they connect with swing arm suspensions?
Why can't awnings incorporate water collection features?
HAMs, where are the repeaters in a drone to take your signal to altitude?
Where are the camera drones incorporated to recon trails ahead of you? The guy that built that monster for his daughter forgot such a command center.
Okay, I'll stop......seems there is too much thinking inside the box.....does everything have to be commercially driven in a box?
What ideas do you have that could be useful on any expedition or adventure trail, what could make life easier, improvements or out of the box ideas?
