A decade-long dream come true
The Romotow T8 RV is the brainchild of W2, a New Zealand-based architecture and design firm that has been working on this project for over a decade.
The firm first introduced the Romotow concept in 2012, but it took six years to build a working prototype and another five years to finalize design and production. The result is an elegant and stylish trailer that looks like something straight out of the future.

A rotating cabin that doubles the living space
The most striking feature of the Romotow T8 is its rotating cabin, which can rotate 90 degrees from its housing when parked. This creates an L-shaped floor plan that doubles the living space and reveals a teak-look composite floor and decking panels topped with a folding table or bench. Inside the rounded front nose are removable canvas/mesh side walls to keep bugs out.

The rotation is controlled by an automated hydraulic system which makes the process smooth and easy. You don't need any special skills or tools to operate the Romotow T8, just a hitch to tow it and a button to transform it.

An expensive investment
However, the Romotow T8 is not a cheap trailer. It costs approximately $268,500, which is more than some houses. But according to Romotow co-founder Matt Wilkie, the Romotow T8 is worth investing in. He says the trailer is built to last more than 50 years and is the kind of thing you can pass down to your children and grandchildren.
