A Camper With a View, the Panorama Shelter Blends With Style in Dutch Landscapes

The Panorama Shelter is a special kind of teardrop camper with a design meant to blend the inside with the outside. It’s a Dutch concept created for the purpose of touring the Netherlands and showcasing its landscapes.

This custom Shelter is the collaborative effort of Kip Caravans, a Dutch caravan manufacturer, and six other partners, including the Netherlands Bureau for Tourism and Conventions (NBTC). It is part of a program called Ode to the Landscape, which aims to promote tourism in the Netherlands, through a series of events and excursions that will take place throughout the year.

The Panorama Shelter is a more artistic and upgraded version of the Shelter camper from Kip. The original camper is the company’s smallest trailer, measuring 14.8 ft (4.5 m) and weighing 1,235 lb (560 kg). The trailer has a very open design with windows on top and both sides. But this new version received even larger, panoramic windows and their number has also been increased, to make travelers feel as close as possible to the nature surrounding them.

There’s a tall window on the entry door, large windows on the right and left side, covering most of the sidewalls, and a lifting roof with cotton cloth. They are all thermally insulated to keep a comfortable temperature inside during the summer and maintain the heat during winters.

The Panorama Shelter is roomy and fully equipped. It has a kitchen with a fridge, a spacious sofa-bed combo with a 2 m bed (6.5 ft), and a mobile toilet box. The sink has a tap that works for outside showers. There’s an onboard 240 V power system and an induction cooktop that allows you to prepare your meals inside or outside.

Unfortunately, the Panorama Shelter was specially built for the Ode to the Landscape program so it’s not available for sale. Hopefully, Kip Caravans will consider adding the model to its offer but for now, you can still choose between its other models available on its website.
