The Lume Traveler is a stargazer’s dream come true. It’s a luxury camper trailer with a huge sunroof (1,850 x 1,100 mm/6-foot long and 3.6 foot wide) that has a built-in mosquito net so you can lay back and fall asleep while appreciating the wonders of nature.
There are three models, a small basic one with an outdoor kitchen, a larger one with an outdoor kitchen, and another with an indoor kitchen – all of them have an open roof.
A 100-Watt solar panel on the rooftop takes care of all the energy requirements.
Hein van de Laar, Lume Traveler’s founder, said:
It was my dream to enjoy outdoor life with the comfort of home; to sleep under the stars in a top-notch bed, to cook outside with a full-fledged stove. And all of that in the most beautiful spots in nature. This dream is what led to the beautifully-designed Lume Traveler.
The trailer sits on a Knott chassis and 15-inch wheels. Its soft-top convertible roof is positioned above an adjustable double bed. It allows you to appreciate panoramic views of the sky and an incredible feeling of freedom. There’s nothing like it after a long tiring day’s journey.
The interior is plush with a leather rear wall, teak flooring, and gray walls with roll-up curtains made of soft dirt-repellent wool felt. The leather wall can be upgraded with trim options of wood and linen. The flooring as well – it can be linoleum or oak instead of teak.
There are also optional add-ons like a 32-in flat screen, a seven-speaker Bose audio system, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
From the outside, the back opens up to reveal the nature-loving chef’s dream kitchen. It features a faucet, a cutting board lid that doubles as a sink, PITT gas burners, a gas grill with extra gas connection, a 40-liter fridge hidden beneath the counter area, and storage for dishes and cookware.
The most basic model with nothing inside so you can tailor it to your liking costs $32,500. The top model with all extra conveniences and upgrades costs around $53,500.
Another fantastic home on wheels is BeauEr’s expandable camper that triples in size in just 60 seconds! Their largest model with upgrades (that grows from 118 square feet to 300 square feet) has three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and dry toilet, a living room with sofa bed, air conditioning and heaters, blackout curtains, solar panels, and a battery-monitoring smartphone app. It costs between $66,000 to $80,000. However, the smallest, most basic model is only $30,000.
