Is there such a thing as a folding demountable camper to fit a truck, like a Dandy or Conway?

Not to fold that low, there are various versions of 'lifting roof' few of which are available new in UK, they do offer a lower profile when travelling but (usually) with a folded area above waistline with windows/vents.

Used models turn up now and again in our market but they are more common in France typically.
Hard side campers (like Northstar) are more common here, mostly for level of fit inside and formerly our climate

I have just discovered Nomad demountables at Preston. They look interesting.
Has anyone come across them or got one.

I like the weight of the units and the designs look nice too. I have had a pop top caravan in the past and really liked it. With the insulation option for the tent part and my 4 legged hot water bottles this might work for me. I don't tend to camp in the really cold weather these days.
I have emailed them.
A bathroom is not essential for me. I have a Quest utility tent with porta potti and a Ring battery shower. (Ring is the makers name in case you were wondering ;) )

Going to look at them on Sunday. :D
