"Trail Marker:" new rugged small trailer

It looks a little too rugged for my tastes -- I like a real bathroom and a shower -- but this little trailer looks like it could handle some pretty sketchy forest roads:

It fills the niche of the jeep people and other off-roads that prize them selves on being tough and capable of going anywhere. Big deal so is my tent.

They do. They're under the "features" tab.

Interesting, but so little storage! Give me some cabinets and cupboards. Does that trailer even have any fresh water plumbing? Didn't look like it.

An American solution is to buy a decent used pop up trailer and put some bigger wheels on it. Maybe flip the axle and add some shocks. A rig like that can follow anywhere your truck can go for $3k instead of 10-20k.

You are right that it is not luxurious -- it is not supposed to be. And the consuming public will let us know whether the value of the off-road capability of this trailer outweighs the purchase price. It is not for everyone.

The interior shots in the video are useless. You know the trailer has very little to offer when a bottler opener is a highlight in the video.

โ€œI needed a vessel, or portal of some kind to get me, Bobbi Jo and Parker (and Patton our black lab) into the wilderness. I wanted to be a father and still be myself. I wanted to give my family something that was part of me. That part of me was the gift of being outside.โ€

Obviously written by a ad agency guy/gal who probably never camped. What a lot of โ€œstuff.โ€

That's a lot of money for a fancied up cargo trailer.

Caravans are really popular in Europe and especially Australia. They are well made and compact. The problem is that they cost between $10-25K as per the advertisement. You can buy a brand new trailer with everything for less than $20k.

Makes me think of a TC with wheels for really getting in deep.
A great niche product!

Cute. There is a niche for about any camping style these days.
Twenty six foot 2010 Dutchmen Lite pulled with a 2011 EcoBoost F-150 4x4.

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.
