TAXA built the Mantis around a simple idea: real shelter that doesn't require a dedicated storage lot. The low-profile pop-up roof keeps it garage-friendly while opening up genuine standing room, and the recycled ripstop polyester sides with five mesh windows keep things well-ventilated. Inside, the folding couch-to-bunk system (complete with bunk net) handles a crew of up to five, and the full bath with enhanced standing shower is a serious step up from tent life. The kitchen punches above its weight too. Two-burner stove, a portable single-zone fridge, raised cooler platform, and Baltic birch cabinetry with milk crate drawers that are both practical and easy to pull. Owners consistently single out the Truma Combi furnace and water heater, the 8,000 BTU air conditioner, and TAXA's thoughtful touches like the sit/stand work desk, Bluetooth RGB interior lighting, and Victron battery management system as reasons the Mantis earns its "Goldilocks size" reputation.
Other popup campers floor plans (around 19 ft, near $46,000), similar in size and price to the Mantis STANDARD.
