Interesting.
Looks like the door is short and would be a PITA when exiting.  Going in would be okay, you could duck your head and lean in, but coming out would have to be backwards

yea wondering how 'airtight' it would be for drafts in windy conditions... looks too fancy for me.
I'll give neighbour some questions tomorrow

A revolutionary roof

Its aluminium skin is made from a single sheet, without any joints. It is opened or closed with electric actuators. Its crescent-shaped windows are made from tinted tempered glass. Once closed, the retractable roof creates an aerodynamic shape, which gives the Alto a drag ratio 75% lower than a traditional travel trailer.

When the roof is closed the Alto has an exterior height of only 2,12m and can therefore fit nicely inside a garage. Once the roof is opened, the Alto offers highly comfortable living space with an interior height of 2,08m. Its front dinette is usable even when the rear bed is set up. The beds, fridge, storage and toilet are all usable when the roof is down. Two distinct dining areas are available by simply moving the table.

If you're 5'2" or a Hobbit, it would be pretty cool.
