Camping

Trakka has long been building some of Australia's most rugged, agile adventure campers. Now it's launching a van that takes off-grid living to new heights with a 48-V electrical system and luxuries like a washing machine and wood-fire BBQ grill.

There are nearly 60 million active hikers in the US. It's estimated over a hundred thousand hikers are issued overnight permits from various state and national parks each year. Where exactly are you supposed to doo-doo when exploring nature?

Earlier this year, Berg Offroad introduced the CX6, a trailer that packs small but expands into an all-out family base camp. The builder's latest trailer tows on the same small footprint but adds comfort at camp by sleeping half the occupants.

My family spent a week with the Taxa Outdoors Woolly Bear Overland camp trailer, and we loved it. Camp trailers like this are an off-road-ready camping option with a lot of storage, organization, and other useful features.

Don't let its bright stripes fool you – the Iveco Daily Switch 4x4 was the meanest camper van at the year's largest RV Show. It was also among the most versatile, "switching" seamlessly between rugged, all-terrain work and remote camping.

Known best for highway-oriented caravans and motorhomes, Dethleffs launches its first off-road motorhome, the Globebus Performance 4x4. The new VW-based RV combines an all-terrain-ready spec with an amenity suite aimed at multi-day off-grid living.

Radica hit the pickup camping scene a couple years ago with the Moonlander, a truck cap that's part security shell, part camper. The new Moonlander X looks at first to go a more traditional route but functions a little differently than it appears.

Motorized carts like the e-Wagon can definitely help you haul heavy loads, but what if the cart itself is a bit heftier than you'd like? Well, you can always just buy a lighter and less costly model … such as the e-Wagon Air.

On the road, the Invader Duo X adventure trailer looks like the latest ridiculously rugged squaredrop. But instead of sleeping two weary adventurers in a simple fixed cabin, it rises, slides and flips into a two-story base camp with penthouse tent.

Vanderer has proven itself a master at transforming small vans into warm, cozy tiny homes. It goes simpler for its second floor plan, deconstructing the camper van into a series of smart, light, versatile components spread around the vehicle.

Dometic's Cadac 2 Cook 3 stove has long been one of the most versatile camp cookers out there, combining a dual-burner stove, grill and griddle. This year, Dometic adds even more capability with the launch of the Cadac 2 Cook 3 Turbo Deluxe.

Bedeo and Trigano have teamed up on the most unique hybrid motorhome out there. The ElectriX is the world's first electrified RV with hub motors, and it offers over 700 km of driving range with the option of going all-electric at the push of a button.
