Danish outdoor gear manufacturer Camp-let has been building tent-trailer hybrids since the 1960s, and the core engineering behind its rigs has changed little since. The company packs canvas and support poles into a solid trailer body, tucked beneath an aerodynamic lid, and the whole unit unfolds into a multi-person basecamp on site. The company’s newest addition to this lineup, the hard-shell Earth Trailer, takes that same formula and stretches it into a 10-person home.
Earth retains the brand’s signature hard-shell body and clamshell fold, but expands the livable footprint well beyond the earlier Passion and North models, transforming a trailer barely larger than an oversized suitcase into roughly 194 square feet of living space once pitched. Camp-let says it can comfortably sleep ten. So how does something this compact achieve that kind of footprint?
The answer lies in a gas-strut-assisted mechanism that unfolds the sleeping cabins and main awning in a continuous motion. Fully deployed, the Earth measures 13 feet long by 18 feet wide, with 7.5 feet of headroom at the center of the living area, the tallest ceiling in any Camp-let model to date. Closed up, it shrinks to just 10.7 feet long and 5.3 feet wide, which puts the scale of that expansion into perspective.
Inside, two ceiling light panels keep things bright, while windows wrapping around the structure bring in natural light and airflow. Fully opened, the layout includes two bedrooms, a living area, and a kitchen that swings out from the side. According to Camp-let, the whole setup takes 15 to 20 minutes to unfold, a process involved enough that having done it once before helps.
The base configuration sleeps four across two bedrooms, using foam mattresses, with one bed convertible into a two-person sofa. That raises the obvious question: where does the “10-person home” claim come from? Camp-let explains that buyers can add an annex on the left side of the awning for two more sleeping spots, or opt for an annex-compatible awning on both sides, bringing the total to ten beds.

Beyond the sleeping quarters, the trailer also includes a living room and a swing-out kitchen. Buyers can choose from four kitchen packages, each mounted on its own support legs at the tailgate, ranging from a basic worktop and water tank setup to a Deluxe version with dual gas hobs, drawers, and a full sink. For those who don’t need room for ten, alternative configurations, such as one with a bathroom, are also available.
Autoevolution, among the first outlets to cover the story, reports that the Earth trailer is priced between $12,500 and $14,400 at current exchange rates, with the final cost climbing based on whichever add-ons buyers choose.
