The Hotomobil Atlas Cabin Box Has an Unfurling Rooftop Tent

The Hotomobil Atlas Cabin Box is a truck-mounted camper developed by Turkish RV manufacturer Hotomobil with a low-profile monoblock shell designed to sit flush on a pickup bed. The structure weighs approximately 150 kilograms and is built to reduce drag while remaining fully enclosed when closed. When deployed, the roof lifts to a 90-degree angle and reveals an integrated rooftop tent that expands the interior vertically to provide a standing height of roughly 8.5 feet. Access to the upper sleeping area is provided by a telescopic ladder. The expanded space accommodates a double bed and a compact dinette arrangement.

The lower cabin volume is configured to support modular camping functions, including space for a single-burner gas stove, fresh and waste water containers, a faucet, power storage, and a chest refrigerator. Hotomobil offers the camper as an empty shell or as an Urban Edition fitted with interior components.
