When we looked at the Bruder EXP-8 in 2021, Bruder had yet to create a video of the camper. It took a while, but Bruder has now published an EXP-8 video, showing the trailer explore remote parts of the world while detailing its impressive features.

This year saw the introduction of some of the most compact, lightweight camping trailers we've seen in decades of covering new RV launches. Some were rugged off-roaders, and others were simpler road tourers. These are our favorites.

Last year, Samaya impressed mountaineers and backpackers the world over with the ultralight Assaut 2 tent. Not two years later, it's back with the new Radical 1, an even lighter, smaller four-season tent that barely breaks half a kilogram.

Polydrops made an immediate name for itself by reimagining the teardrop trailer as a polyhedron. Now, in an effort to offer a lighter, more aerodynamic drop-sized camper for EVs, it's deleted some of the "poly" to create the sleek, 640-lb P19 Shorty.

With the new UltraPress Ti, Grayl injects its titanium know-how into its original water filter bottle design, creating a versatile tool that can quickly purify water and cook over a fire. It's a lightweight, hardwearing food-and-beverage multitool.

Scuba divers are typically loaded down with quite a bit of heavy gear. The Avelo System is designed to help in that regard, as it moves the functionality of the buoyancy compensator into the air tank, making the former unnecessary.

If you're the outdoorsy type, it's possible you might have use for a flashlight, headlamp, bicycle headlight and camping lantern. Well, if you wanna keep things streamlined, Xeter Spark combines all four in one modular system.

So, you want an off-road electric motorbike, but you also kind of like the idea of those new-fangled snowbikes? Well, with Daymak's new Combat Ebike you don't have to choose, as it can be converted from the one to the other in about an hour.

The versatile Adventure Fork can cook kebabs, sausages, chicken tenders, vegetables and other delectable foods over the fire on its own or combine into a spit to hold larger poultry and roasts at campsites reached only by foot, bike or raft.

Few camper trailers we've looked at over the years are as insanely overbuilt and impressively equipped as the Bruder EXP series from Down Under. With the new Stealth, all EXP trailers can now get even more power, convenience and off-road capability.

Bundutec combines several of its existing overland camping products into the unique BunduTrail camper trailer. The compact towable shadows the vehicle like a cargo trailer but expands into a complete living space with help from a powered pop-up roof.

The space-saving endeavors of outdoor companies has led to a flurry of foldable camp stoves and grills that make backcountry cookups a much more manageable affair, and the newly launched Pacofire lands as one of the most portable yet.

Recently, Solo Stove has rolled out cooking accessories to go with its impressive smokeless fire pits, and the Pi Fire is the latest to join the party, promising crunchy crusts and delicious pies cooked over open flames.

Spending the night in a Tentsile tree tent can be a truly inspiring way to camp, but hovering in a mesh dome loses appeal once winter hits. The new Insulated Cabin supports cold-weather camping while creating impressive multi-story Tentsile setups.

The knife may be the center of the multitool universe, but the axe appears more often than one might expect. The Roamer NOA is the latest survival multi-axe, packing over half a dozen functions into a modular handle below its razor-sharp axe blade.
