Beauer has opened commercial orders for its X6 travel trailer, a new model designed to offer six berths within a compact footprint. The unit, which reaches its full size through an automated telescopic system, is expected to reach customers by late 2027.
Why it matters
The X6 model introduces a new option for larger groups seeking mobile living spaces that remain relatively easy to tow and store. By using a telescopic mechanism, it balances the need for significant interior capacity with a smaller travel-ready width.
The X6 utilizes a motor-driven telescopic expansion system to shift from a 2.15-meter transport width to a 3.6-meter interior in 60 seconds. The trailer measures 7.2 meters in total length with a maximum permissible weight of 1,800 kilograms.
The players
Beauer
A manufacturer of recreational vehicles specializing in telescopic, expandable trailer designs.
AL-KO
A global manufacturer of vehicle chassis and components used in the caravanning and motorhome industry.
The details
The trailer features a design where a smaller internal module slides out from a larger shell to increase living space. This process is fully automated, allowing for quick setup upon reaching a campsite. Built on an AL-KO chassis with fiberglass shells, the unit includes essential off-grid utility features like a 50-liter freshwater tank, a 6-liter water heater, and a 100Ah battery to support the six-person capacity.
Timeline
• September 2026: Prototype debuted at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon.
• October 2026: Commercial orders opened for the Beauer X6.
• Late 2027: Scheduled first deliveries of the travel trailers.
Health Landscape
The use of telescopic expansion modules marks a departure from traditional fixed-width recreational vehicle designs. This development highlights a broader trend in mobile design toward maximizing living space without increasing the footprint beyond standard towing limits.
When considering a trailer for group travel, evaluate whether the weight and setup time of an expandable unit align with your physical comfort and vehicle capabilities. It is worth discussing your towing capacity and space requirements with a dealer to ensure the unit fits your specific travel needs.
The takeaway
The Beauer X6 offers a novel way to expand living space in a trailer through an automated 60-second process. If you are shopping for a new vehicle, prioritize checking the maximum permissible weight against your own vehicle's towing capacity.
What happens next
First customer deliveries of the Beauer X6 are scheduled for late 2027.
