Luxury trailer gets even tinier while boasting a walk-in closet in its all-electric design

Posted on by

When I think of trailers, I picture a cramped living space in a truck-like vehicle that either is parked in a trailer neighborhood or goes around wherever you want to go. Living in one is not something on my bucket list as I’m the type of traveler who likes her creature comforts and so I would prefer staying in hotels or air bnbs. But the luxury trailers that I’ve been seeing has made me rethink my stance on trailers, although these are definitely things I can’t afford.

Designer: Living Vehicle

The HD24 is the smaller version of their previous HD model, a high-end trailer that is 24-foot long and has all the luxurious amenities that you would want from an expensive trailer. In fact, it even has a walk-in closet, a luxury that not even all regular apartments or houses always have. It is 6 feet shorter than the next-smallest model, so probably easier to move around so you can stay in places where you just want to be in the middle of nature or whatever place you want to visit (that has trailer parking of course).

The trailer ha fold-out deck that can fit two people sitting in case you want to have a perfect view of your surroundings while still staying in relative comfort. It has a bunk bed and a lounge that can be converted into a queen size bed. When not in use, the beds can be elevated so you have space for your lounge and dining area. It comes equipped with an aluminum kitchen and a full bath, inspired by luxury yacht designs. And of course the walk-in closet is the highlight, although if you don’t need that much space for clothes, you can turn it into an additional room.

The interior of the HD24 has a powder-coated aluminum finish so it’s pretty easy to clean and maintain. It also uses solar array and energy-storage system so it is slightly eco-friendly. The price tag of $300,000 is not so friendly for people like me but there is definitely a market for this luxury trailer.

Solar-powered, all-electric Living Vehicle 2024 HD trailer lets you experience true freedom without limits

Posted on by

Freedom from everyday mundane life; freedom from the RV parks; and freedom to live in the outdoors for as long as you desire: The ability to provide this level of independence is the most critical feature that sets the Living Vehicle 2024 HD apart from the rest.

For the desirous of freedom without limits, a travel trailer can be a great option. With a travel trailer, you have the flexibility to go wherever you want, whenever you want, without being tied to a fixed location. But when you want true freedom, you’ll require a sustainable living solution designed to face challenges of extreme weather, power crises, and water scarcity. Enter 2024 HD trailer, loosely “the most powerful trailer on Earth,” designed as all-electric trailer with reliance on solar energy for its power and functionality.

Designer: Living Vehicle

Made as an ultimate off-grid travel trailer, the Living Vehicle’s HD line-up thrives on advanced energy storage capabilities that permit full-time off-the-grid living with backup fuel options and perpetual resource generation. This system ensures a self-sustaining and resilient living experience with its coveted solar power, which is more than most residential homes.

Talking about the unparalleled off-grid livability and emphasis on luxury mobile living, the Living Vehicle Co-Founder Joanna Hofmann narrates a befitting scenario. “Imagine being surrounded by snow-capped mountains and having all the amenities of a 5-star hotel, such as a king bed, spa-style rain shower, and a chef-designed kitchen. All made possible without any connections to utilities.”

On the outside, the ‍Living Vehicle HD is built with marine-grade materials. Available in HD Core, Max, and Pro models; each is custom-built to offer meaningful facilities for the intuitive needs of the user. The setting inside allows multiple bedroom configurations to make the HD compatible for up to 6 people.

One extreme end of the trailer features the king bedroom suite in 150 sq ft with sectional overhead storage and a 6-foot height closet. For its ability to withstand the harshest environments, the Living Vehicle HD is fully insulated with 100 percent rigid closed-cell foam, which ensures the interior is cool at 120°F and moderate in sub-zero, -4°F (coupled with a Mini-Split electric heating system).

Provided on the other extreme is a convertible lounge to queen bed and mid-way the trailer is an option for a EuroLoft bed for additional two guests. Deploying the lift bed is as simple as a press of a button and the bed is ready in a matter of seconds. Adjacent to the lounge cum dining is the 4K Home Theater system with an integrated Hi-Fi wireless audio system.

With electrified chef’s kitchen and spa-style bathroom, comprising a compost toilet, outdoor extendable shower, and ample water storage tanks, the all-season electric trailer has a foldable deck for outdoor living. The innovative system onboard creates water from humidity in the air, while 72kWh of energy storage and 18kW of power take care of all the energy requirements. And to render the trailer capable of operating entirely off-grid, a 98-pound propane tank is also included.

Inventive siding roof with solar panels, or solar awning, if you like, the Living Vehicle HD trailer can double the amount of solar when camped than when it is being towed. The roof slides on both sides opening up more PV panels underneath and this extension becomes an awning for the patio deck. According to the Press Release, the Living Vehicle HD lineup is expected to begin shipping in 2024 starting at about $459,995.

Measuring about 8 sqm, the living space of the trailer can accommodate a family or up to four people to travel autonomously for up to five days.

Size up your mobile lifestyle with this tinniest towable, stowable, and expandable travel trailer you can get

Posted on by

When you’re a small family, an RV seems an effective way to live a trimmed, mobile life. The maintenance cost and carbon footprint of an average RV, irrespective of the living comfort, is not comparable to that of a teardrop trailer or a tent for a weekend getaway.

Pitching somewhere in between, as an undeniable option that requires minimum space – in storage and when driving – only to expand at a campsite into a full-sized unit capable of sleeping two adults and a child (depending on how close you choose to sleep) is the weather-resistant Hitch Hotel.

Designer: Hitch Hotel

By the name of it, you’d imagine this tiny road companion to be available for rent. But the makers, for now, offer it only for a one-time purchase and would likely consider a rentable option sometime down the line. The small towable, stowable, and expandable Hitch Hotel measure only 3.5 feet when folded for storage. It tags to the back of any car in this tiny form factor only to retract to slightly over 7 feet at the location where the user intends to set it up for an overnight camp.

The tiny trailer unfurls in a telescopic manner to give you a hard-shelled sleeping space with full protection and a safe height from the ground. Reckoned as a go-anywhere hotel room, the Hitch Hotel trailer has an impossibly small footprint until it converts into 6 feet high, 6 feet-wide, and 7.8 feet long camping trailer in minutes.

The Hitch Hotel features a fiberglass body, designed to keep the overall weight of the trailer down to bare minimum. Meant to sleep you after the sun goes down, it can be used to stow your gear when its trailing behind your car. Despite its form factor, the Hitch Hotel remains close to a conventional trailer in form and function. It has a marine-grade canvas lining on the inside with padded insulation to maintain overnight temperature for inhabitants.

Kept well-ventilated by the window on the rear door and one on the side, the Hitch Hotel has a roof fan and LED lights powered by a 60Ah battery. For convenience, owners would have to invest in their own sleeping mattresses with the standard trailer available for $9,800. An upgraded model could fetch you a tiny kitchen, water storage, a memory foam mattress, and higher capacity battery for a premium.

The artistic SkyView Camper has a fling with mid-century modern architecture style

Posted on by

Teardrop trailers have cramped-up interiors and most travel trailers are built to look alike. Marrying the advantages of a camping trailer in a teardrop form factor with artistic leverage and space to accommodate two people in harmony; SkyView Camper is set to be that tiny home trailing your car.

Whether you’re cut out for the mountain life or not, you would have some desire to ride the white powder. In that vein, when you are sliding on snow, on a handmade snowboard from Never Summer Industries, you’ll definitely want the company’s design aesthetics to accompany you down to your ride waiting below. Enter SkyView Camper, Never Summer’s dig at the recreational trailers, and boy, isn’t it one the American outdoorsy with a bent for Frank Lloyd Wright architecture would love?

Designer: SkyViewCampers

Inspired by mid-century modern architecture, the SkyView boasts a modern shape with a commitment to the best utilization of space. So, within a 143-in x 76-in space you get a well-designed and spaciously crafted living/sleeping area for two people. For headspace, the makers provide an awning, which allows the height to rise up to 87-in. SkyView follows minimalistic design language and features high-quality material for construction, which overpowers the random trailers with overworked designs and shallow choice of construction material.

Known for its design and aesthetics, Never Summer Industries has tried to speak the same language in its SkyView Campers. Modeled after Frank Lloyd Wright’s desert laboratory in Arizona, a SkyView features walls and ceiling clad in wood and laminate, shelves cover most part of the walls, while a convertible bed (with queen-size memory foam mattress) is placed well below a skylight. The stained-glass window on the rear allows ample natural light until you switch to the interior LED lighting to glow up your cozy space. On the outside, the trailer comes installed with 100W rooftop solar panels, an outdoor shower, and storage for your gear, skis, and snowboard. Weighing 1,500 pounds, the SkyView camping trailer is slated to be available in 2023 starting at $29,900.

Wolf Rigs Hummer Camper is robust and capable entrant in the crowded adventure camper market

Posted on by

No matter how crowded the adventure camper market begins to appear, creative minds manage to rub the lamp of genius to germinate a fresh perspective. So, if you had begun to feel that every other camper was looking pretty much the same; spare a moment for the Hummer Camper from self-taught enthusiasts at Wolf Rigs. Hello – just a thought – we have a lot more to discuss!

Wolf Rigs dubs this guy as the “go-anywhere overland comfort castle,” after a good sight at the images, I’m sure you’d be left with little doubt. For whatever little skepticism, the camper is a converted Hummer H1 designed to stream roll over the petit RVs, thanks to its dominant look and the Humvee chassis.

Designer: Wolf Rigs

This military-grade camper is called the Patton and, as expected from the look of things, it features a shell and frame made completely from aluminum; essentially to keep the weight of the vehicle as light as possible. On the outside it may strike dominance with its beastly appearance, on the inside, this guy has been nurtured with utmost care and fineness. The spacious interior makes provision for a queen size bed just above the cockpit, a serviceable kitchen, lounge area, and a spacious bathroom with a shower and customized toilet that retracts into the wall to save space.

Passengers get a comfortable headroom and a lot of space for cooking and sitting, which ensures the comfort is never compromised, no matter where your Overlanding adventure takes you. The interiors are naturally lit with skylights and windows in the loft; cooking is catered to by a two-burner stove and a slide-out fridge.

Besides the living space, which we have just discussed in a gist above, the rear door of the Patton opens to reveal the storage section. This spacious section holds the gear and necessary supplies including a propane tank, jerry cans of water, shovel, telescoping ladder, spare tire, and lot more. We learn that Wolf Rigs allows customizing the Patton with installs you’d want but cannot assure what these necessarily are, at the time of writing. What we can assure is that despite being the most feature-rich campers for an off-road expedition, Patton means business and it shows outright in its appearance. So, if you have had an adventure lined up where not many recreational vehicles would go, give Patton a try!

Built on Humvee trailer chassis, tiny BluMobile produces its own power and water for unmatched off-grid life

Posted on by

As a weekend warrior ready for an Overlanding expedition, what do you want from the trailer you’d be towing along? If it’s robust off-roading capability, water, power, work desk, lots of storage, and overnight accommodation; you can strike a deal with BluOasis’s BlueMobile.

Based on a Humvee trailer chassis, this ultimate off-road-ready trailer is ideal for Overlanding or off-grid camping. This we say because, in addition to its military-grade off-road chassis, this guy can generate its own solar power and water from an onboard atmospheric water generator.

Designer: BluOasis

We have definitely been through hordes of trailers with impressive off-grid capabilities, but the differentiator here is that the BlueMobile packs 1.5kW of external solar panels and water-making capabilities in a petit form factor mobile trailer. The deployable solar panels on the rooftop would be nothing without matching power storage. The BluMobile trailer puts power storage on the forefront with a 15kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack.

BluMobile trailer is primarily designed as an off-grid base camp of sorts for adventurers or perhaps a tiny accommodation with requisite supplies on a remote job site. The trailer features 4,250 liters of internal storage that can accommodate your equipment and cargo. As an RV it also makes room for up to four people to sleep in. The additional room for a queen-size bed (besides a double bed below) is made possible with the pop-up roof.

It’s not the most comfortable trailer, but for off-grid living, the BluMobile uses BluOasis’s water generator which condenses humidity from the air and runs the separated water through a UV-enabled filtration system. At about 60 percent of humidity, the atmospheric water generator can generate 38 liters of drinking water in a day, which can be stored in an onboard 150 liters tank.

The power requirement for remote working, cooking, and overnight parties is all taken care of by the interesting electrical setup connected to the solar panels and storage batteries. Without the solar panels, the BluMobile starts at $24,500. The cost of the trailer appropriate for permanent off-grid families – increases with add-ons and customization.

This retro-inspired travel trailer with tastefully renovated interiors is embodiment of color and space utilization

Posted on by

Recognizing your strength and using it to help the like-minded is not an easy thing to pull off. However, this husband-wife duo of Ron and Shayna behind Darlin’ Trailers is doing it to perfection. Drawing from their own experience of living in an RV full time, the couple’s now helping new travel trailer adaptors renovate and rework their mobile home for ‘full-time living or vacation adventures.’ Hudson being a tasteful example!

Tasked with the idea of remodeling a vintage 1948 Vagabond travel trailer – developed by Vagabond Coach Manufacturing Company, Michigan, in New Hudson – the Darlin’ Trailers has done the unfathomable! The team recently shared the images of the reworked 23-feet travel trailer – aptly called the Hudson after the original trailer’s birthplace; and if you’re into tiny homes, there is no way you are not going to sit back and appreciate the immaculate use of color, space utilization, and the brilliant overall makeover.

Designer: Darlin’ Trailers

The entire vintage travel trailer has been renovated to meet the requirements of the modern-day lifestyle, which starts with the eye-catching exterior. Graced in a striking matte black finish, the trailer now has a contrasting white roof, while the wood accents on the windows and door enhance the curb appeal. You step right into the hallway wherein your first introduction to affluence is the white interior that complements the back exterior. Walking past the seating unit and the TV on the wall, you reach the living room graced with a sofa set that conveniently transforms into a bed for when residents have a couple of guests over for a night.

The living room of the travel trailer is well lit with natural light. This is possible with the large skylight and similar windows. A curtain separates the living and kitchen – complete with wood cabinetry, countertop, induction cooktop and convection oven – from the bedroom. The bedroom with a raised bed has plenty of storage underneath and features a charging station. Storage requirement is also taken care of by the baskets in the entryway. Usually, remodeled travel trailers tend to compromise on the bathroom facilities; Darlin’ Trailers has however tossed a spa-like bathroom into the equation complete with a toilet, shower, vanity, and lots of storage shelves.

This thematic revival of the vintage travel trailer is really tastefully done reflecting a great deal on the work efficiency and design sense of Ron and Shayna. There is no information about the customer the Hudson has been reworked for, but that’s little deviation from the idea and its appreciation.

This towable XL camper comes with roomy and bright interiors to give you a comfortable outdoor experience!

Posted on by

Lightweight, modern teardrop trailers hit the market very frequently these days. Despite that, there is always scope for something like the Droplet XL, an insulated, spacious and naturally well-lit camper for weekend RVers, urban dwellers, and pro campers alike.

After entering the market with Droplet 58, a small trailer with a big impact, the trailer manufacturer is back with the next version called the Droplet XL. This is a bright and modern insulated trailer with a queen-size bed and a fully equipped kitchen. Based on a powder-coated steel chassis, the trailer is made from a wood-fiber frame overlaid by aluminum composite skin and in between the two layers is the closed-cell foam for insulation.

Droplet campers are ergonomic and reliable. The Droplet XL also thrives on this image in a lightweight form factor, which can be towed by any RV. This cool feature means people who do not have a larger truck or towing vehicles – such as the city dwellers – can also haul this teardrop trailer behind their cars for a weekend off-site or a slightly longer adventure trip. What sets the new model apart from the premier iteration is its high focus space, larger panoramic windows and skylights, and extensive storage to keep all the camping gear out of sight and completely safe.

For those keeping a record; the Droplet XL weighs just over 1,000 pounds and measures 9.5 feet in length. The longer flatbed means there is more storage capacity between the kitchen and the sleeping area. The latter houses a queen-size mattress and is spacious enough to sleep a couple. With the generous use of panoramic windows and skylights, the roomy bedding seems even more spacious. The trailer has a fully functioning kitchen with a shelf for cooking and a large fridge to keep your beer chill and packaged food from rotting.

In spite of its name, Droplet XL is pretty tiny. Owning to its compactness, one can count it off for being any good on roads less traveled. Surprisingly, with its 13-inch wheels, the trailer is pretty stable for off-road rides into the wilderness. Ideal for all types of small distance, long trip and family adventurers, the teardrop trailer features LED lighting and USB charging ports. The Droplet XL retails for $16,950 and can be customized with a battery pack, awning and shower for slightly extra.

Designer: Droplet Trailer
