Some campers grab attention with a bold exterior or a huge living room. The 2026 Fendt Bianco Activ 550 SD gets noticed for a different reason: a full wall-to-wall bathroom across the entire rear of the trailer. At Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Myles from Myles RVs of Firmly Unbound gives us a tour of this unique travel trailer.
Caravan Salon is one of the biggest RV and caravan shows in the world, and the crowds show up early. The doors opened on a Saturday morning, and the aisles filled fast. In the middle of all that, this single-axle Fendt stood out with a clean look, a front windshield, and a floor plan that feels different from most small travel trailers.
Key specs
For a single-axle caravan, the 550 SD is on the larger side. In Europe, weight is often listed as MIRO (mass in running order), which is similar to an unloaded weight figure.
| Spec | Measurement |
| Length | 25 ft. 4 in. (772 cm) |
| Width | 7 ft. 7 in. (2.32 m) |
| Interior height | 6 ft. 6 in. (2.66 m) |
| MIRO (mass in running order) | 3,200 lbs. |
| Payload (approx.) | 550 to 700 lbs. |
That payload is the main trade-off. Single-axle trailers often carry less gear than many U.S. buyers expect, so packing choices matter.
Exterior details that feel more like a car than a camper
The sidewalls use a solid, pebbled aluminum-style finish, with a seam and rail system running along the side. Instead of a built-in awning, the rail is meant for add-ons that slide in, like awnings and patio setups that are common across European caravans.
The windows are dual-pane acrylic with a light tint. Out back, the molded fiberglass rear cap has an automotive-style finish that looks unusually clean compared to many trailers sold in the U.S.
A bright, cozy interior with smart storage
Inside, there’s a removable carpet, which shows up a lot in European models. The front lounge is a U-shaped dinette with a freestanding table, plus a large skylight overhead. The seating is cloth, with firm cushions that still feel comfortable because the fabric is soft.
Storage wraps the upper walls with cabinets and open shelving. The windows include both a bug screen and a privacy shade. The acrylic latches let the windows swing open wide for airflow. Power and lighting are well placed, including USB ports, a European outlet, and individual reading lights.
Kitchen, bedroom, and a bathroom that changes the whole layout
Across from the dinette sits a TV that can swivel toward the seating area or the bed. The Dometic refrigerator and freezer run on propane and electric, and the panel front keeps the look tidy. The kitchen keeps counter space minimal, but includes a three-burner gas stove, a good-size (although not very deep) sink, soft-close drawers, utensil dividers, and a narrow pantry or spice area.
The bedroom uses a corner bed with a rounded mattress edge. It saves space, but the bed sits against the wall, so making it can be annoying. Storage is strong, with cabinets around the bed, hooks and shelves, and a larger wardrobe area across the aisle.
The real headline is the full rear wall bathroom. It includes a cassette toilet (the waste tank slides out like a suitcase), tons of storage, and a large fiberglass shower with stainless steel fixtures, a vent, and a skylight. Myles noted the shower height felt good, with no loss of headroom stepping in, so comfortable for someone around 6 ft. 4 in. to 6 ft. 5 in.
The big question for US buyers
The posted price was about 36,000 euros, which Myles estimated to be around $40,000 to $50,000 USD. For a single-axle trailer, that’s higher-end, and it’s not a price point commonly seen in similar U.S. models.
If U.S. manufacturers copied one idea from this layout, the full-width rear bathroom might be the one worth watching. What would matter more to most buyers: that huge bathroom, or a bigger bed and more payload?

Thank you for calling attention to the video, Cheri. Have a great day and safe travels!
There are a number of 25′ U.S. trailers that have a full-width bath. But some of those put a wardrobe in that bath instead of making the shower larger. So, yes, a large shower in a small trailer is a luxury. However, a U.S. trailer that is 25′ is not going to be single axle. It is going to have a double axle, which means a higher CCC.
