Romotow

The name "Romotow" has long been synonymous with a big, white camping trailer with integrated swinging deck. Times change, though, and to bring prices and weights down, Romotow creator W2 has launched a bald, deck-free version of the trailer.

The fantastical W2 Romotow T8 caravan became a reality earlier this year, but at $270,000 it wasn't a reality for many buyers. Romotow is doing what it can to broaden the market, splitting the T8 into a full lineup that includes an entry-level shell.

One of the wildest camper concepts we've looked at is now a reality. The Romotow caravan was first revealed over a decade ago and had all the makings of being a one-and-done concept. But it's arrived as a fantastical production-ready travel trailer.

It's been at least eight years in the making, but we've finally got a sneak peek at the first Romotow fold-out caravan, with its crazy-stylish rotating cabin and built-in sun deck. It's bang-on with the concept renders and production starts soon.

Six years ago, we looked at the wild Romotow caravan concept from New Zealand firm W2. At the time, even W2 wasn't sure if the swing-out trailer would move beyond concept, and we didn't expect to see it again. But fast-forward to late 2018 and W2 is deep in the works building the very first model.

The unique Romotow caravan concept folds out like a flick knife to open up 70% more floor space.
