Off-grid

The US may not have Europe's market of affordable, mass-produced camper vans, but it holds its own in off-grid vans custom-built around adventure sports. Many are focused on summer, but Titan offers a Sprinter year-rounder built for ski/surf bums.

Last time we looked at the SLRV Commander 8x8 two-story motorhome, it was still in the build, but it has since been completed. An engineering marvel, the wheeled explorer yacht brings together a military-grade shell with a duplex interior.

Australians don't compromise when it comes to tough camper trailers. So if you're named "Australian Off Road," your "most basic model yet" includes a galvanized steel foundation, airy queen bedroom, lithium-based electrical system and large kitchen.

Off-road teardrop trailers are all the rage right now, but a factor limiting appeal is that they generally sleep only two – and no bathroom. Into the Wild solves both problems, lifting the roof for a roomy trailer that sleeps four and has a wet bath.

Earlier this year, Ford announced plans to launch the 2020 Transit AWD van. The masters of modularity at VanDoIt become the first Americans to offer a Transit AWD camper van, expanding their flexible adventure van lineup with the new LIV van.

After the Cybertruck launch, we weren't sure if the camper kit was a planned product or just Tesla showing the ways the Cybertruck could be used. Musk put a quick end to the speculation today, confirming succinctly that the Tesla camper is go.

Tesla's Cybertruck looks nothing like what we were prepared for. Tesla's pickup camper, however, looks like something we've seen ... the late, great Pontiac Aztek. Will Tesla turn its new e-pickup into an equally weird but more capable camper?

The word "land yacht" has become a cliche denoting any large, luxurious wheeled vehicle. VR Motorhomes takes it more seriously, though, creating a Landyacht camper van with luxe, marine-inspired living, "offshore" autonomy and even a "tender" garage.

One of SEMA's slickest camping rigs, the Ford Ranger "Attainable Adventure" is ready to explore deeper than most thanks to its nimble midsize platform and Specialized e-bikes swinging off the hitch to clear way to the roof tent and slide-out kitchen.

EarthRoamer has been impressing crowds for two decades with its heavy-duty, go-anywhere expedition rigs. Following on from the launch of the XV-HD, the Colorado company is back with a new model, one it calls the "most advanced EarthRoamer ever."

Perhaps by design, perhaps coincidence, UK camper van builder Rolling Homes brought the worlds of glamping and overlanding screeching together at last week's NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show, trotting out both an opulent six-figure VW T6 camper van with gorgeous materials and a safety-orange T6 4Motion upgraded for all-out off-road adventure. Two different #vanlife worlds under one banner.

After spending five years searching for the ideal location, Aleksi Hautamäki and Milla Selkimaki have successfully built two off-grid cabins on their very own private island, located at the edge of the Archipelago National Park in Southwest Finland.
