Is the Alpha Wolf+Cloudbreak the Future of Electric Camping?
Futuristic electric trucks with futuristic tent and camper setups, touting the future of mobility and the future of camping and overlanding. Stop, stop, stop! We can't take any more of this tantalizing coolness. Just kidding; there's always room for more. We introduce the Alpha Wolf+Cloudbreak. The outdoorsy combination consists of an in-bed Heimplanet Cloudbreak Geodesic Tent (a sleek, sophisticated inflatable shelter) affixed to the bed of the modern-but-retro-looking Alpha Wolf electric truck. You literally must imagine the combo, because as best we can tell, it's still very much hypothetical, based on these rendered photos.

The whole structure blows up, so its construction more closely resembles that of a bounce house than a rigid structure. Germany-based Heimplanet, the company that makes the tent, manufacturers other free-standing inflatable tents and some other adventure gear. The company prides itself in sustainability and eco-friendly practices. The name of the company derives from heimat, a German word that, according to the company's website, "describes the place you feel at home, the place where you belong, the place you are dedicated to, the place that makes you feel like it's all going to be all right somehow, no matter what. We liked the idea of taking that feeling with us while traveling our planet."
