Off-road

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.

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.

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.

Traveling to Coos Bay, Oregon, I recently experienced the new lineup of RZR Pro side-by-side models from Polaris. On the sand, in the dunes, and on the beach, every 2025 RZR Pro showed what it can do.

Terracamper has long kept things in-country, building off-road campers on VWs and Mercedes. With recent shifts in the van landscape, it's now launched a Ford camper with off-road kit, suspended bed, and loads of tie-downs and Velcro accessory panels.

The Pioneer 25 marks a momentous step in the world of motorsports as it passed the mandatory FIA crash tests. Developed solely for Extreme H, the world’s first hydrogen-powered motorsport, the car has a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).

Westfalia updated one of van life's icons at this year's Düsseldorf Caravan Salon. The simpler, more streamlined James Cook camper van does away with the added bulk of an expansion module, going for faster four-sleeper setup, on or off road.

The new Ariel E-Nomad concept may not look quite as downright menacing and imposing as a Polaris RZR Pro R (or, for that matter, Ariel's own ICE Nomad), but it definitely throws down the gauntlet.

If you're looking to zip through the city and beyond, Segway has launched a new ZT series of electric kickscooters at IFA 2024. First up is the ZT3 Pro model, which has been "engineered for both urban adventures and off-road excursions."

What do you do if you find a 6-meter Mercedes Sprinter too small for your camper van but a 7-meter too large? If you're Malibu, you tack on a little extra Sprinter to create a camper van that sizes right in the middle, just how you like it.
