Every weekend holiday
Including weekends and public holidays, we have around 114 days off. Compared to 30 days of holiday a year, that's not bad. So why not spontaneously take a day or two off for a trip to the neighbourhood, pursue a hobby or visit friends? Provided you can do it spontaneously and quickly.
That's exactly why we developed our small tent trailer. It fits in the garage and is immediately ready for use. It is so light and small that it can be towed by any car and is also easy to push. It's easy to set up and you don't need a special parking space as you sleep above the ground. We are not a caravan or a tent, we are Booba and we are "tenting".

Back to the Roots
For us, tenting means embarking on an adventure with nature. We want to make it easy to get out and explore the most beautiful corners of the near and far surroundings. But it also means taking responsibility and treating the environment with care. How much space do we really need and how much comfort do we need all the time? Of course we're a bit eco, but it doesn't have to look that way. We call it ‘The sexy reason’. That's why our Booba is not only stylish (winner of the RLP 2024 design award), but also extremely small, light, space-saving, versatile and still very comfortable for its size. An electric car consumes only 15 % more energy when driving and once you arrive, the shading of the underbody is minimal due to its shape.
urbanoid ... who?
One idea, two partners and three years to build - it sounds simple at first, but it was anything but. Although we, Thomas and Martin, have more than 25 years of experience in product development, a project of this size with no workshop and a modest budget was a major challenge. We had to rely on our will, our ingenuity and our experience, as well as on our many good friends who never let us down. Thank you. But that's not all. We have founded urbanoid GmbH, applied for patents, received road authorisation and are now going into production. At urbanoid, we believe that camping is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the stress of big cities and experience the beauty of nature. Our vision is to make camping accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget or vehicle. That's why we develop, produce and sell compact lifestyle camping trailers that offer an easy and affordable way to experience the best of life and explore our world.
FAQ
What material is the pendant made of?
Currently GRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) and other materials in the future.
Where did you get your experience?
We have developed a wide range of products for numerous international clients, including both global corporations and medium-sized businesses. These include consumer goods, caravans, and aircraft and automotive interiors. Learn more here.
How can I store Booba in the garage?
We have developed and tested a stand that allows the trailer to be erected vertically using the muscle power of one person.
What type of surface do I need for the trailer?
Anchoring to the ground is only necessary in very strong winds.
Can I use Booba as a range extender?
We adhere to the basic laws of physics. Currently, we have one battery installed in the trailer. Up to three can be installed. We consider it counterproductive to use batteries to power or run the wheels. Charging stations are already limited. Charging a trailer twice takes more time and is difficult to implement, especially during peak travel season. Our goal is to consume less energy from the outset.
Why do you have a telescopic drawbar?
There are two advantages. Firstly, the drawbar can be removed to stand the trailer upright, minimizing storage space. Secondly, extending the drawbar offers improved driving dynamics on long journeys. However, when traveling in small towns, shortening the drawbar allows for greater maneuverability on narrow streets.
Why do you have an exhaust system on your trailer?
For us, the design is an homage to traveling in a roadster. Mobility used to be apolitical and wasn't viewed solely from an efficiency standpoint. For us, mobility always means freedom, a value we consider especially important today. The two exhaust pipes serve as connections for shore power and as an outdoor shower.
