Outdoors and Camping

Grand Design RV brings American adventure and European luxury screaming together in its all-new Lineage VT camper van. The off-grid-ready rig offers a level of interior glamping luxury we're not used to seeing outside the European or custom markets.

Nemo is updating its much-loved Stargaze Recliner hammock-style freestanding camping chair with a new model that benefits from instant setup and a slashed price. The Stargaze Evo-X packs the same comfort without the extra work.

The Tiffin GH1 all-terrain camper van was one of the most pleasant RV surprises of 2024. Now Tiffin follows it up with the GH2, a stretched Sprinter AWD camper van that prices the same as a Winnebago Revel ... but with well more space.

The Tusca HitchHiker chassis-less camper pod has been renamed the Freedom Camper and is now available in a lighter, sleeker version that fits trucks as small as the Ford Maverick and requires just two people to lift on and off the vehicle.

Solo Stove has long built its brand around fire, but now it's expanding into other product categories. A cooler seemed almost inevitable, but this one goes a step further as a fire pit-like gathering point with A/C and misting to keep everyone cool.

After releasing one off-road trailer after another, Mammoth Overland is ditching the chassis and wheels for its latest design. The SKL off-road camper leaps up atop the vehicle roof, bringing its own solid-state battery bank and hard walls.

The new Hyperlite Bug Bivy is about as light as a full-body outdoor shelter gets, packing down to water bottle size on long journeys. At camp, it provides full protection from the biting bugs that would otherwise make the entire trip miserable.

Rugged smartphone specialist Doogee has added a new model to its V Max family, which is pitched as the first starter-level flagship phone. As well as being a tough cookie, the handset packs a huge battery, 120-Hz screen and dual camping lights.

The Highcountry Unlimited UTV trailer leaps to life with a retro-inspired design featuring a big, old towable tub, specialized walking beam suspension connecting its four wheels, and the ability to transform into a modern-day covered wagon.

We're starting to see a new tier of rooftop tents that are more like self-contained tiny campers. The Oztent Apex RT-P-1600 tent is the latest, boasting motion-activated camp lighting, active cooling and even an RV-style electronic command center.

Work Sharp has long been known for its blade sharpening tools. Now it's taking that expertise to an innovative knife lineup all its own. Each RMX knife features an interchangeable pivot that transforms operation from auto to manual and back.

Tonke released a video this month showing its new VW ID. Buzz expandable sleeper roof design in action. The new pop-top leverages aspects of rooftop tent design to create a larger bed and more spacious living area, bringing more living comfort.
