Cardiff-based DoubleBack says its creation represents the first true innovation in the camper market since the advent of the elevating roof over thirty years ago...The price of a DoubleBack Transporter is £54,995,.' (AOL news flash)

Maybe not for me at that price!

Well I've never seen anthing like that before!

For the price, you're getting: a double bed, a pop-up canopy, an integrated kitchen unit and a passenger setup that comprises either two captain's chairs or a bench for three occupants in total. Bargain!

I think I'll stick with the awning!

That is superb!, Maybe a bit too big a slide-out, but something around 1.5m would be a good call, but it will loose valuable interior width..
Dehler did some fixed extensions on their T4's that gave a permanent version of this
A VW T5 Westfalia is around £50k new so I wonder if they have their sums wrong?
Whatever we all think, at least some folk are thinking about innovative options.
