RV

We've heard of off-grid toilets that macerate, compost, incinerate and electro-wrap. We even stumbled on one that "super-composts." We guess we should have expected one that turns pee into a fine fog ... but we did not. Inspired or insane?

We've seen in-vehicle camping modules of all sizes, and a new one from Renault might just be the sleekest of all. It transforms the company's Escapade from a simple sleeper van to a full camper van that still works as an everyday 7-seat MPV.

A cross between an oversized adventure van, toy hauler and expedition vehicle, the Epicore Action Van does adventure a little differently. Its massive garage stores and maintains all your gear while its roomy interior sleeps and feeds four people.

Evotrex has just raised $16 million to help outdoorsy types get far, far away from civilization with an RV trailer that can power itself for a good while. It has ambitious plans to hitch its trailers to customers' vehicles by the end of next year.

The new Keystone Walkabout feels like a cross between a typical American travel trailer and a hardcore Aussie off-roader. The split-personality rig is a rough-hewn adventure support vehicle outside, an exceptionally livable home-on-a-hitch inside.

I'd like the pickup camper without the pickup, please. Roofroomer has that in its Native camper, a fiberglass-and-aluminum elbow that reimagines automotive living. The unique camping pod houses a functional kitchen-cum-bathroom and roomy double bed.

Toyota's Kayoibako van concept won over the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. Toyota is now talking up a Kayoibako family and showing the Daihatsu Kayoibako-K, a kei transporter that's a tiny delivery van, micro-camper, automated adventure shuttle and more.

At this year's Japan Mobility Show, the legendary little Mitsubishi Delica van cedes the stage (for a moment, anyway) to an even cooler Mitsubishi camping rig: a futuristic concept combo that expands into a multi-room base camp.

Wheelhome has long been designing truly unique tiny campers. This time, it's outdone itself, building a hybrid roof tent/pop-up camper specially for the Tesla Model 3 and then evolving it into a more practical micro-camping trailer for any vehicle.

For 50 years, Australian overland pioneer ARB has offered essentials to help make unnavigable terrain navigable and temporarily habitable. After launching its first camper trailer 2 years ago, it's bringing the rugged expandable base camp to the US.

Modern Buggy has been on an expansion warpath, and the new Ultimate Hauler 18 is part of its teardrop camper expansion ... kind of. This particular trailer blends together a proper teardrop pod and toy-hauling flatbed in a way we haven't seen before.

The Arkto Campers C10 caravan lives larger than the typical squaredrop, offering a complete interior ready to escape mercurial fluctuations in a hurry. The pop-up cabin feels more like you're in a pop-top camper van than a teardrop-size trailer.
