The Opera – “Your Suite in Nature”
I recently came across a brochure for The Opera, which has to be the Rolls-Royce of all camping trailers. I suspect the pricing and some of the design elements of The Opera are likely to be viewed as over-the-top for most Coming Unmoored readers, but the interior of this little tent was too lovely not to share. Moreover, there are some clever design features which might be inspirational to other tiny house designers.
Features of this travel trailer include:
- A teak varanda
- Two electrically adjustable beds that can be combined into one
- A boiler to provide warm water
- Hot air heating
- A top loading refrigerator
- A modular outdoor kitchen including a two-ring burner, a barbecue, and cutting board
- Low-energy LED lighting
- A corian fountain with a pull-out faucet head that can be used as an outdoor shower
For additional information and photos, you can visit their website at www.yoursuiteinnature.com.

That’s beautiful, Steph. When I first saw the phrase “Rolls-Royce of all camping trailers” I thought you might be linking to this:

I hope you’re well. I’m glad you’re posting again.
Feng, it’s great to hear from you. That caravan is pretty pimp
Hope you haven’t stopped posting. Just stumbled upon your blog and it is a hoot!
Your blog about the chicken was hilarious – it had me laughing out loud .
Please keep the stories coming.

Did you drop off the face of the earth? We haven’t heard from you in a LONG time. Even if it is about struggles, we enjoy hearing from you. How are you doing??!
I have read your blog since the begining and was starting to belive that you were totally checked out.
I realize now that that was incorrect and I want to echo something from the past.
You need to write.
I know it is painfull some times but as a fellow writer I know what will make you feel better.
Get back up in the Tiny House saddle as a start.
We miss you.

Great link, Steph. Keep up the good work.
I just saw both parts of your house intro. Great house!
I envy you very much.
I have way too much stuff. I wish I could cut away the excess and focus on the essentials.
I hope everything is well with you and you are okay.
I noticed your last post was in January.
I hope nothing has happened to her. I enjoy reading this blog and watching her videos.
Well, geez. I’ve been in and out of the world (here and, uhm, here) like a crazy monkey with a deadly fever for over a year now, and when I saw a newer blog linked to you, Steph, I thought you were back. Yet I see this is from March. It’s a funny little group of folks online who are into a small dwelling with the ‘fat’ trimmed off the edges and a variety of disparate philosophies that seem to liken the lot of us to a wagon wheel… that ‘something’ at the center of our all beliefs that brings us together & brings a loose but caring community sense as well. (Though some closer)
I always felt like I was on the outside peeking in as I have no small home, nor shall I ever have the small home I’ve worked hard and planned for. While I don’t want anyone to think there’s an expectation on folks to keep ‘churning out the blogs regardless as to what lies beyond the screen’ – I surely hope you are alright and entries or no entries: that what keeps you busy is ‘good things.’
… I wonder if they call that fancy thing up there The Opera because of Sydney. Out of the corner of your eye, you might think you’re flying over Australia? Folks are funny. Anyhow. Take care, you.
Steph
I finally found something interesting in the blog world, and when I got to the end there was none. Enjoyed the read.
Do you still live in the floating house? You don’t see a lot of them here in the frozen north.
Enquiring minds want to know.
