    Imagine how cool it would be to hit the road with this awesome <a href="http://inhabitat.com/sydney-opera-house-lights-up-against-global-warming/" target="_blank">Sydney Opera House</a>-inspired <a href="http://www.ysin.co.uk/" target="_blank">Opera Camper</a>. Designed by a Dutch and German team of collaborators, the compact, tow-behind trailer can be pulled by an ordinary sedan and it expands into a luxurious tent complete with a functioning kitchen, a bathroom and an outdoor shower. We could definitely learn a thing or two about efficient design and use of space from the Opera, which recently became available for sale in Europe and Australia.
    1
  • Opera Camper
    The Opera features a low profile design that makes it easy to tow behind a sedan rather than a larger SUV or truck often necessary for to transport larger trailers.
    2
  • Opera Camper
    The lightweight and compact design means you're not guzzling gas in order to get out into nature.
    3
  • Opera Camper
    Upon arrival at your destination, the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/modern-bufalino-camper-is-a-miniature-home-on-wheels/">camper</a> is unhitched and the top folds open to create a back deck, while the sailcloth tent pops open.
    4
  • Opera Camper
    Like a sailboat on land, everything is built to high standards and is incredible durable to last a long time.
    5
  • Opera Camper
    The camper features two beds that can become one double bed, a ceramic toilet, a top loading refrigerator, integrated <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/led-lighting">LED lighting</a>, a kitchen, a heater and a boiler to produce hot water for the kitchen and outdoor shower.

    The beds feature a motorized back so they can be used as reclining seats.
    7
  • Opera Camper
    The kitchen is modular and can be moved outdoors to take advantage of pleasant weather.
