Tube4all is a Dutch company that is behind the creation of ‘The Tube.’ The Tube is a cylindrical shelter designed to provide cozy and comfortable shelter in the great outdoors. The Tube is a small space measuring 10 feet long and 7 feet wide. The structure consists of a small table that can be converted into a bed.
The unit comes with its own heater and two outlets. The unit is ideal for those who are spending a weekend away from the world, but don’t want to give up the comfort of four walls and a bed in the experience. Tube4all’s shelter is lightweight, weighing in at a slim and trim 990lbs. While I could see people towing this pop-up home out to campsites, it could also be a great temporary shelter for those in disaster areas.
