French maker Beauer builds campers that grow after they park, and the new X6 pushes the idea to family size, with sleeping for six, two sleeping areas and a living room that opens onto a small porch. The trailer debuted at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf in 2026, squarer than the company’s earlier rounded designs and cleverer for it.
The trick is a single telescoping section that slides out electrically once the trailer is parked, and everything inside is arranged around that one moving wall.
One moving wall turns a narrow trailer into a small apartment
On the road the X6 runs 7.2 metres long including the drawbar, 2.15 metres wide and 2.67 metres tall, dimensions an ordinary tow car can live with. At camp the telescoping section extends the width to 3.6 metres, and the interior opens out to roughly 20 square metres of living space.
Beauer squared off the body and softened the corners for this model, a departure from its earlier rounder trailers. Straight ends waste less space inside, and with only one expansion section the structure stays simpler than the company’s bigger multi-slide designs.
It rides on an AL-KO chassis with a stabiliser and shock absorbers, on 14-inch wheels.
The porch is a hatch, a platform and a reason to face outside
A large hatch in the living room wall drops down into a small outdoor platform, shaded by a tinted canopy overhead. Opening that much wall changes the room completely: the dining area stops facing the kitchen and starts facing whatever the trailer is parked beside, a lake, a treeline, a vineyard row.
Plenty of campers add screens, awnings and outdoor kitchens. A floor-level porch built into the wall is rarer, and it gives the living space a second orientation that no furniture shuffle can copy.
Breakfast out there is the sales pitch, and it’s a good one.
An angled kitchen, a full bathroom and three ways to sleep six
The kitchen counter runs at a sharp angle, putting the sink and the two-burner gas cooktop on different faces while freeing a corner for the bathroom. A 157-litre fridge handles family supplies, and the bathroom fits a shower, a sink and a cassette toilet, fed by a 55-litre fresh water tank and a six-litre electric water heater.
Sleeping splits three ways. The main bedroom carries a 160 by 200 centimetre double bed, the second room takes another double, two bunks or a desk, and the living room sofa converts into a third double, with a curtain separating the rear sleeping zones.
Choose the desk and the trailer sleeps four with an office. Choose the bunks and six people have beds, though nobody gets a door.
Furniture comes in white, wood tone, grey or black, with cushions in grey or beige, fabric or faux leather.
The weight budget is where the X6 gets tight
Beauer lists the X6 at about 1,700 kilograms fully equipped, against a maximum authorised weight of 1,800 kilograms. That leaves roughly 100 kilograms of payload depending on options, a slim allowance for six people’s food, water, clothes and gear, and the figure any buyer should interrogate first.
Standard kit includes a 100Ah lithium battery and a command display covering water levels, temperature, battery status and lighting. Options add 200W of solar, a 200Ah battery, reversible air conditioning, a 5.5-metre Thule awning, a remote-controlled mover, a bike carrier and a rear-view camera, and every option eats the same payload.
Prices start at €74,990 in Europe, about $83,750, and Beauer’s own guidance says shipping to the United States is possible, with specifications and delivery arranged directly with the company.
The floor plan is the generous part of this trailer. The scales are not, and a careful buyer weighs both before signing.
