Overlanding today is often about doing more with less. For travel trailer owners, that means packing more features and creature comforts into ever-shrinking towables — towables like the all-new Arkto C10 camper trailer.

For the Canadian maker’s first micro-camper, it started with its wildly popular G12 overland camper, then figured out how to pack most of the same features in a much smaller footprint. Indeed, the composite-built C10 is two feet shorter in length and more than a foot narrower, making it surprisingly nimble on tight backcountry trails. At 2,750 pounds dry (900 pounds lighter than the flagship G12), it’s designed to tow safely and easily with something like a Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, or other mid-sized SUV.

Inside, the C10 offers a surprisingly generous 6’11” ceiling with a 2+1 sleeping configuration and generous storage throughout. The slide-out kitchen design borrows heavily from the G12, with a dual-burner cooktop, a hot-/cold-water sink, a 113-liter bar-style fridge/freezer, and a 10-cubic-foot pantry. USB and standard 110-volt outlets throughout allow you to top up your favorite mobile gadgets in the backcountry.

Like its big brother, the C10 is purpose-built for off-road exploration. That means more rugged features than most lightweight travel trailers. Think 31-inch all-terrain tires and a Timbren independent, axle-less HD suspension with a four-inch, trail-ready lift. The power system, too, is designed for owners to venture far off-grid with up to 600 watts of solar and an available 640aH battery capacity.

The new C10 camper trailer is available for pre-order starting at $64,000 CAD (roughly USD $45,600 at the time of this writing). Arkto Campers expects to deliver the first models sometime in July 2025.

Maximum versatility is the name of the game for the best off-road travel trailers these days. Many trailer makers are going well beyond the traditional teardrop travel trailer mold to create clever trailers that can haul all your outdoor adventure gear, too. Case in point: The all-new Gear Loft from Hiker Trailers.

Fresh on the heels of the Indiana builder's announcement of its cheapest-ever "cubedrop" trailer, the Highway Lite, Hiker Trailers announced the Gear Loft. At its core, it's a deceptively simple trailer skeleton that's purpose-built for maximum modularity, expandability, and adaptability. The 24-square-foot lower deck features a wide, open design to provide mobile universal storage for everything from hiking gear to kayaks to ski equipment to—well, just about anything, really. A length-adjustable tongue offers up to 42 extra inches, making it easy to allow for oversized gear like sea kayaks and larger canoes, too.

Teardrop travel trailers were once the pinnacle of RV "purity." But, in recent years, many of the latest models ballooned into boujee, overstuffed, and overengineered versions of their former selves. Hiker Trailers—known for its no-nonsense trailer builds—has responded to this dilemma with a pared-down teardrop trailer that's built and priced for the Everyman. Meet The Highway Lite.

The Highway Lite is among the Indiana/Colorado-based company's most basic teardrop trailer builds to date. In stock form, that means a 4-foot-by-8-foot cube with an average total build weight of just 800 pounds and an overall length of just 140" (around 11.5 feet). That makes it one of the most tow-friendly travel trailers on the market, capable of being hitched to just about anything with four wheels and a decent tow package. It all rides on a 2,200-pound torsion axle and 27-inch tires. All of these numbers translate to a more highway-friendly (as the name implies) trailer rather than the typical $50K-plus off-road-ready rigs that seem to be popping up from every Rocky-Mountain-based trailer builder these days. The entire package is wrapped in a decidedly square and most non-aerodynamic aluminum shell that's available in more than a dozen colors.

The Polydrops P21 camper trailer is off-grid-ready with room for the whole family
It's sleek, modern, crazy aerodynamic, and packed full of off-grid tech features

We first caught wind of Polydrops way back in 2019. The angular, retro-future design of its debut, limited-edition travel trailer felt like something straight out of Blade Runner, with a unique love-it-or-hate-it, ugly-cool aesthetic. But the California-based company seemed to go relatively dark since then — until now. Behold the next-gen Polydrops P21 camper trailer.
Everything we know about the Polydrops P21 camper trailer

The next evolution in the Polydrops lineup brings the company's latest trailer design more in line with legit lightweight travel trailers rather than "mere" teardrop-style, rolling sleep pods. The P21 features the same unique aesthetic that sets it well apart from any other RV at your local campground. It's stark silver with hard angles throughout — a design that's reminiscent of TAXA Outdoors' unique brand of travel trailer. But, unlike its predecessors, this flagship model is roomy enough to sleep four and packs a ton of off-road and tech-forward features.
