The Toppola Saab Camper...
A Real Car Camper!

This is the most fully featured car camper I've come across. But it's made for Saab hatchbacks only so it's not really an option for most people...

I'd think about a teardrop trailer or maybe even a rooftop tent.

Anyways, the setup time is about half an hour and you have to remove the hatchback door from the vehicle and then mount and secure the camper. The Toppola is very light at only about 255 pounds.

They stopped producing these in 2006 due to low demand and an economic recession. I think it's difficult to keep the demand since it only works with certain hatchback vehicles from Saab.

The Saab Camper is still very interesting because it shows how much you can do with a small space. And maybe it will inspire someone to create something similar...

And here are some pictures of the interior...
