California startup FORM has lately unveiled an interesting camper for the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck, as well as other truck models.

It makes use of a rectangular box’s shape that’s ideal to fit in any truck bed.
FORM—A detachable camper for Tesla Cybertruck
On being deployed from the truck’s bed, the camper gets fully expanded via its electric actuation system. There is a small portion of this camper that stays within the truck’s bed to have a proper sleeping area.
Plus, the rest of the camper is extended off the truck’s rear to create a room on the ground level. There is also a hard roof covering the entire space within the camper.
When it’s deployed, this camper has around 71-square-feet of floor space inside. This space enables users to go in and come out of the camper as they desire. The camper also comes with two nylon ripstop canopies that are deployed from either side, offering you a protected outdoor space. If the truck owner wants to use the pickup for any other purpose, this camper can be utilized as a standalone unit.
As per the manufacturer, the whole setup of this camper takes just five minutes for the entire setup. The double bed can easily fit into the pickup bed. Plus, the users have to slide out the sink and kitchen cooktop as required.
The kitchen area has a separate refrigerator/freezer unit along with cabinets and drawers for proper storage. One more interesting feature of this camper is that it has bidirectional slides, as well as double-sided cabinets for indoor and outdoor use of the kitchen.
Even a cushioned bench is also at the rear wall of this enclosure for maximum comfort. This bench is removable and functions as a wet bath with a portable toilet, privacy door, and wall-mounted shower.

It even comes integrated with a reverse-osmosis system for purifying water from rivers and lakes.
