The Alpencamper Eco Slide Out bike camping trailer has been designed by the Switzerland-based brand as a boxy, feature-rich solution for cyclists to enable them to set up camp wherever their journey takes them.
The trailer is a three-season camper crafted with an aluminum frame paired with insulated composite panels with a 3cm thickness for comfort. The unit weighs in at a total of 115-pounds when empty to make it a lighter option than alternatives on the market. The camper can be expanded when setting up a campsite for the night, while the lower compartment will offer up to 270-pounds of storage.
The Alpencamper Eco Slide Out bike camping trailer is rounded out with a number of additional features like battery-powered ceiling lights, blinds and insect screens, a storage shelf and more.
